I think that admin level 1 has merits.  The Akwesasne First Nation[1]
includes parts of Ontario, Quebec and New York, including a CanAm
border crossing.  Canadians and Americans must stop at border control
in Akwesasne as they pass between Canada and USA. Akwesasne citizens
are exempt, and can pass through without stopping.

Their geography is unusual and a "Jurisdictional nightmare"[2].
