Hi, > county & state key OK, I'll tell JP community if we could change "district" to "county". & I hope to keep "state" bit.
> "admin_centre" role I got it. As you mentioned, "label" role is more appropriate to my purpose. And in Japan, each prefecture has their government system and office. So if "admin_centre" role is used, that office/facility is more proper object to be. If I misunderstood the point, excuse me, please tell me.
