Last summer there was a big thread Differences with USA admin_level tagging
<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2017-July/thread.html>

Geneva,
NY <https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/176059#map=13/42.8582/-76.9476>

who thread, but I seem to remember others mentioning a number of other
situations where administrative areas really can't be represented in a
cleanly nested way.

Best,
Adam
