administrative territorial entity of Somalia
Let an agent explain Somalia s administrative divisions, relay the formal structure and the fragmented reality including Somaliland and federal member states from government and analytical sources with positions attributed, describe the named units and flag the garbled alias, and distinguish administrative units from federal member states, the contested Somaliland and historical divisions, without taking sides.
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.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain Somalia s administrative divisions, relay the formal structure and the fragmented reality including Somaliland and federal member states from government and analytical sources with positions attributed, describe the named units and flag the garbled alias, and distinguish administrative units from federal member states, the contested Somaliland and historical divisions, without taking sides.
Any of the administrative territorial units of Somalia, which is formally divided into regions and districts, though in practice governance is fragmented between the Federal Government, federal member states such as Puntland and Jubaland, the self-declared independent Somaliland, and areas of contested control; the registry aliases name regions and districts and a possibly garbled region name that should be checked. Official structures, boundaries and control are contested and change, so the positions of the federal government, member states, Somaliland and others are attributed, and current sources should be consulted.
What it is for: Administration of Somalia, amid contested control.
It can be explain the formal structure and fragmented reality; relay member states and Somaliland with attribution; describe named units and flag the garbled alias; present contested control neutrally.
