Administrative Boundary

Administrative boundaries are borders surrounding administrative localities.

Geometry Type	LineString
Theme	admins
Type	administrative_boundary

An administrative boundary is typically an officially defined border between two administrative localities. In light of geopolitical issues, some administrative boundaries represent standalone disputed or treaty lines and therefore do not coincide with the border of an administrative locality. The administrative boundary and two administrative localities do not share common geometry.
