The capital "Tunis" (2464470) is not located in the "Gouvernorat de Ariana" (2473245) but in the "Gouvernorat de Tunis" (2464464).

So it should have its admin1=36

And the ADM1 "Tunis al Janubiyah Wilayat" (2464463) doesn't exist in Tunisia.

Hi Kamelito

Thanks a lot for all your information. There is an edit function on the web interface so that you can fix missing data directly:

The admin division assignment needs a valid admin code in our database so it will only work for admin divisions with a code that is neither 'null' nor '00'.

Best
