Site design changes:

Up until now, this website has been an extension of the book "Administrative Subdivisions of Countries". That is, information appears on the website only if it is an addition or change to the information in the book. I am now considering expanding it to include the entire book. In other words, if I complete this project, the website will contain everything that would be in the book, if I rewrote it today. So far, I've updated Afghanistan, Åland, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh and its districts, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, Brazil, British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile and its provinces, China, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Czech Republic, Mexico, Poland, and Yemen in this way.
