Hi Ann. Even though the folks in England insist that the four-divisions don't work over there, some of us have made the decision to use four divisions worldwide and make them fit because it does produce a standard that works really great in the sorting of the place names.
I use the format as follows: City or Village, County, State or Province, COUNTRY So, assuming that Bristol City is also in the county of Bristol in England, your input would be like this: Bristol City, Bristol, , ENGLAND I left the third position blank within commas because apparently there is no STATE or PROVINCE in England. So, if Bristol City is the city and it is in a county (or the equivalent of a county) called Bristol, I believe the above would be correct for those of us who do the four positions as shown above. I always put my countries in all caps because I think it creates a more visually-friendly output, but that would be optional, of course. Please if anyone argues the point - only discuss on the basis of what would be correct for a four-position standard, not to argue that it does not work for England.
