Country is always the sovereign country.

Use the numbered subdivision fields for the administrative hierarchy below the country.

subdivision1 is the highest administrative level below the country, subdivision2 is the next level, and so on.

The subdivision type should use the real local administrative term, such as State, Province, Region, County, District, Division, Tehsil, Prefecture, Governorate, Municipality, Parish, Canton, Emirate, or Territory.

Use official_name only when the official name differs meaningfully from the normal article title.

Use other_name for a commonly used alternative or additional name.

Use postal_code_type when the local term differs from "Postal code". Examples include ZIP code and PIN code.

Use coordinates for the reader-friendly coordinate display. latitude and longitude are used for structured geographic data.

Population figures should include a year in population_as_of.

Leave fields empty when reliable information is unavailable.
