Political subdivisions
Opened this issue · 2 comments
I've always wanted to have a source for political subdivisions. it's a complex matter but we should attempt it. part of the proposition would address terminology i.e. is is a province, a department, at prefecture?
and maybe go down a level or 2. Australia, for example, has territories, underneath states (and those are broken up too). Russia has oblasts
we should give it a try
Isn't that a memory overload for someone who only wants a list of countries for his HTML select element?
it would be but we can require the user to make a special call for the additional information. we don't return it by default. in fact, we could specify a depth parameter so depth=1 returns territories, depth=2 returns states, depth=3 returns provinces, depth=4 returns metropolitan areas, etc.
