administrative territorial entity of Romania
Let an agent explain the administrative divisions of Romania, relay the structure of counties, Bucharest sectors, municipalities, towns, communes and localities and the statistical regions from official sources, describe the units the registry aliases name including former ones, and distinguish administrative from statistical units and from historical provinces such as Transylvania and Moldavia.
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.
