First-level administrative country subdivisions

Countries' first-level (top-level) administrative divisions are generally adopted by Familypedia for the "nation-subdiv1‎" field of an event, but there are exceptions for some countries.

Countries where the standard applies

 * Australia - States and territories of Australia
 * Canada - Provinces and territories of Canada
 * India - States and territories of India
 * New Zealand - Regions of New Zealand
 * The United Kingdom - just the big four: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
 * The United States - 50 states

Countries where Familypedia makes an exception

 * Jamaica - Familypedia:Jamaica proposes that we use the three historical counties, which are sometimes mentioned in historical documents, for the "nation-subdiv1‎" field, dropping the "official" 1st level (the 14 parishes) to our 2nd level ("county") - incidentally matching Louisiana in nomenclature
