administrative territorial entity of Argentina
Let an agent explain the administrative territorial entities of Argentina, relay the levels of the federal hierarchy from reference sources with current structure checked, describe the levels its aliases name, and distinguish the category from a single named unit and from divisions of other countries.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
