module Popolo
  # A bounded area, like an administrative boundary.
  #
  # @note There is an upper limit to the number of administrative levels;
  #   however, there is little agreement as to what those levels are. Therefore,
  #   instead of having a different model for each administrative level – which
  #   would have advantages – we use a flexible tree structure.
