One thing that might be useful for this in the UK is my recently updated web page: http://www.gedanken.org.uk/mapping/osm-boundaries/ This contains all UK boundary relations and allows filtering by type ('boundary' tag) and administrative level ('admin_level' tag) and limiting them to those that overlap the selected map area. Clicking on a boundary in the results list will give you the important tags and tell you the number of ways and nodes it contains, its length and its shape (open, closed, branched). You can also add them to the map or download a GPX trace for them. One thing that has surprised me is that there are relatively few boundaries that form closed loops, many are open (linear with two ends), broken (multiple linear sections) or branched (include at least one three-way junction). -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
