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.

A unit of local or regional administration in the Czech Republic, including the 14 regions called kraje, the districts called okresy used for statistics and some state administration, the municipalities called obce as the basic self-governing units, and within large cities the self-governing city districts and city parts such as the districts of Prague; the levels are defined by Czech law and coded in official registers.

  • Regions, districts and municipalities
  • Self-governing city districts in statutory cities
  • Municipalities with extended powers as an intermediate tier
  • Coded in the territorial register

Open questions

  • Should each level be a separate entry?
  • How should the register be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged an alias for national nature reserves, which are protected areas rather than administrative units; should it be split off?
  • Which entry fits the specific unit?
  • Which entry fits Czech local government?
  • Which entry fits Prague?
