Second-level administrative country subdivisions

Countries' second-level administrative divisions are generally assigned to Familypedia's "county" field. However, they are variously named in actual countries - most commonly "districts" (in over 40 countries) but other common names are "canton" (4), "county" (6, including UK and US), "department" (9), "municipality" (21+), and "province" (10); and Familypedia does not always assign them to that field.

A complication is that in many countries a single administrative entity may have the powers of both a 1st-level and a 2nd-level division.

Small countries may not even need that field: "Locality, Province/County/State/Whatever, Nation" may be adequate and cover all the likely permutations found in actual records of genealogical events.
