According to our data, the "mils" result is a POI. Generally, our data for
POIs (as opposed to addresses) is not as rich. (And I think that
technically, some POIs do not belong to a country)).

But I agree with you that it's frustrating when the output changes, and when
rather useful fields like country are not there.
We're looking into why this change occurred.
