Definition

A boundary separating subordinate administrative divisions (for example: a state, county, township, province, district, territory, and oblast) in a State or other geopolitical entity.

Description

States are generally divided into first-, second- and lower-order administrative divisions. With only minor exceptions (Egypt-Sudan, Kenya-Sudan), administrative boundaries are contiguous with international boundaries. In rarer instances, administrative boundaries serve in lieu of international boundaries (Ethiopia-Somalia and the former Oman-UAE boundaries).
