Hi,

In ADM1Ascii, there is a broken line :
TJ. Region of Republican Subordination Region of Republican Subordination 6452614

which should be corrected to :
TJ.RR Region of Republican Subordination Region of Republican Subordination 6452614

(http://www.statoids.com/utj.html , or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region_of_Republican_Subordination)

Additionally, something like the following line can be added in ADM1 File :
TJ.RR Region of Republican Subordination

Hi Sami

This was still on my todo list following this thread : http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/465.page#2244

The problem is I could not yet find the best code for it. From the ISO document :

The deletion of the region Karategin leaves one part of the country, including the capital Dushanbe and a number of rayons, without a name and without code in ISO 3166-2. The ISO 3166/MA will contact the authorities in Tajikistan to find a solution for this blank.

I have now set it to 'RR' as you suggest and I will put a link from the info window to this thread.

Marc,

Creating a temporary RR code will be fine for now, I think.

What is your policy regarding the codes ? Are the Adm 1/2 codes the FIPS ones, or the ISO ones ? Or maybe a mix of both ? From your data schema, will you be able to tell, later, that the 'RR' region code isn't an official ISO code ?

Regards,
Sami
