administrative territorial entity of Nepal
Let an agent explain the administrative divisions of Nepal and their levels, relay the constitutional framework and counts from official sources, describe rural municipalities and wards, and distinguish the current units from the pre-2015 zones and village development committees.
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.
