How places are identified

Every place carries its OCHA P-code, which is hierarchical — a child’s code is prefixed by its parent’s. Twenty-two local-unit names are shared across districts, so URLs are hierarchical too: /np/bagmati/kathmandu/. Local units are the 753 municipalities and rural municipalities; protected areas are federally administered and excluded from that count.
