Hello Sarah, Thank you for response.
> place=county instead of place=district This is reasonable & possible. But, as I'm not a native speaker, I could not understand the correct nuance of 2 words. :) Is County a better word to represent that "A municipality unit which is larger than City/Town/Village, and smaller than State/Province"? > place=state instead of place=province Hence, I think this is not... There are some arguments to change "Prefecture" system to "State" system in Japan politics. (yes, it would take long years indeed...) If this change would be applied even as partially, we could not keep a way to represent the new systems. So I'm reserving "admin_level=3" bit to represent "state" level. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApY7X6fw8sqxdDNjY1FBeG00TlRZSFoxU2xwOHVCb0E#gid=1 In fact, "ι½ιεΊη" level (like Tokyo, Chiba or so) is so called "prefecture" in Japan. And I think this is a similar structure to "province". What is your opinion? > From my original mail > # Dedicated account. Account "KSJ2_adm_bnd_imprt" is activated.
