Agreed with Phake, any boundary that's used for administrative purposes could be included, that's what I understand from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative. That doesn't mean that each area needs to have it's own legal entity and administrator, nor need to be able to set laws, rules, codes etc. just that the boundary itself is used for some administrative purposes.
