Notes

• more examples at www.iz.sk
• NUTS4 / LAU1 / LAU codes for HU and PL are created by me, so they can (and will) change in the future; CZ and SK NUTS4 codes are used by local statistical offices, so they should be more stable
• NUTS4 codes are consistent with NUTS3 codes used by Eurostat
• local_lau variable is an identifier used by local statistical office
• abbr is abbreviation of region's name, used for map purposes (usually cars' license plate code; except for Hungary)
• wikidata is code used by wikidata
• osm_id is region's relation number in the OpenStreetMap database
