--[=[ Each of the following tables specifies a group of polities with common properties (e.g. the states of the US). Each table is associated with a polity "group" (an entry in `export.polities`), which contains handlers specifying how to process the data tables and also a pointer to the relevant table. The data is used as follows:

1. To generate the text of the bare topical categories directly associated with each polity, such as  Category:Netherlands, Category:Alabama, USA or Category:Amazonas, Brazil, and per-language variants such as Category:de:Netherlands, Category:es:Alabama, USA or Category:pt:Amazonas, Brazil. These categories (and all placename categories) are found in the topic cat subsystem of the category system; see Module:category tree/topic cat/data for more information. 2. To generate the text of topical categories for cities/towns/rivers/etc. in a given polity, e.g.  Category:Cities in Alabama, USA for cities in Alabama, and per-language variants such as   Category:fr:Cities in Alabama, USA for French terms for cities in Alabama. 3. To generate the text of topical categories for political subdivisions of a given polity, e.g.  Category:Provinces of the Netherlands, Category:Counties of Alabama or   Category:Municipalities of Amazonas, Brazil, along with per-language variants such as   Category:de:Provinces of the Netherlands, Category:es:Counties of Alabama or   Category:pt:Municipalities of Amazonas, Brazil. 4. To add pages to all the above types of categories when a call to on that page references the polity, such as by a template call (which will   add the page to Category:en:Cities in Alabama, USA).

Uses #1, #2 and #3 are controlled by Module:category tree/topic cat/data/Places. Use #4 is controlled by Module:place/data.

The keys of each table are the polity names in the form they will appear in a category like Category:de:Provinces of the Netherlands or Category:fr:Cities in Alabama, USA (hence, they should include prefixes such as "the" and suffixes such as ", USA"). Transforming these keys to the form that appears in the bare topical category (e.g. Category:de:Netherlands), in category parents and/or in descriptions can be done using the `bare_label_setter` and `value_transformer` keys (see `export.polities` below). The value of an item in each table is itself a table. This table contains properties describing the polity in question. Note that before being used (e.g. to generate the contents of a category page like Category:en:Cities in Ireland or Category:de:Provinces of the Netherlands of to specify how to add the relevant categories to a page with a call to ), the table is passed through the associated polity group's `value_transformer` function (see `export.polities`). That function generally augments the property table with additional properties that are common to the group or derivable from group-specific properties. The following are the properties most commonly specified (additional properties are sometimes attached to entries in specific groups):

- `divtype`: String specifying the type of polity or subpolity (e.g. "country", "state", province"). This can also be a table of such types; in this case, the first listed type is the canonical type that will be used in descriptions, but  the polity will be recognized (e.g. in  arguments) when tagged with any of the specified types. This value  overrides the group-level `default_divtype` value, and only needs to be specified if it disagrees with that value.

- `poldiv`: List of recognized political subdivisions; e.g. for the Netherlands, a specification of the form 'poldiv = {"provinces", "municipalities"}' will allow categories such as Category:de:Provinces of the Netherlands and Category:pt:Municipalities of the Netherlands to be created. These categories have a primary parent Category:LANGCODE:Political subdivisions (i.e. this is the parent that appears in the breadcrumbs at the top of the category page), and have the containing polity, if any (see `containing_polity` below) as an additional parent. Any political subdivision that appears here must also be listed in the `political_subdivisions` list, which tells how to convert the pluralized political subdivision into the equivalent linked description. (If not listed, an error occurs.)

- `miscdiv`: List of recognized historical/popular subdivisions; e.g. for Ireland, a specification of the form 'miscdiv = {"provinces"}' will allow categories such as Category:pl:Provinces of Ireland to be created. These categories differ from political subdivision categories in that their primary parent is the country name rather than Category:LANGCODE:Political subdivisions.

- `is_city`: If 'true', don't recognize or generate categories such as Category:en:Cities in Monaco (specifically, for place types in `generic_place_types` but not in `generic_place_types_for_cities`).

- `is_former_place`: If 'true', don't recognize or generate categories such as Category:fr:Rivers in the Soviet Union (specifically, for any place type in `generic_place_types` other than  "places"). NOTE: This key may be added automatically by the `value_transformer` function. - `keydesc`: String directly specifying a description of the polity, for use in generating the contents of category pages related to the polity. descriptions. This property is only rarely present, and is normally generated automatically by the `value_transformer` function from the key and (for subpolities) the value of `divtype`.

- `parents`: List of parents of the bare topical category. For example, if 'parents = {"Europe", "Asia"}' is specified for "Turkey", bare topical categories such as Category:en:Turkey will have parent categories Category:en:Europe and Category:en:Asia. The first listed category is used for the primary parent (i.e. this is the parent that appears in the breadcrumbs at the top of the category page). In this case, for example, "Europe" (not "Asia") is used as the breadcrumb. This property only needs to be specified for top-level polities (countries and such), not for subpolities (states, provinces, etc.), which use the value of `containing_polity` (see below) as the parent.

- `bare_category_desc`: String specifying the description used in the bare topical category. If not given, a default description is constructed by the `bare_label_setter` function.

- `containing_polity`: This property does not need to be specified explicitly. It is automatically added by the `value_transformer` function for subpolities, and left off for top-level polities. It specifies the larger polity in which the subpolity is contained, and is used to construct the primary parent of 'Cities in ...', 'Rivers in ...' and similar categories. For example, the subpolity Guangdong (a province of China) will have "China" as the `containing_polity`, so that a category of the form Category:en:Cities in Guangdong will have its primary parent (i.e. the parent that appears in the breadcrumbs at the top of the category page) as Category:en:Cities in China. If `containing_polity` is omitted, as in top-level polities, the primary parent will simply be e.g. Category:en:Cities (or "Towns", "Rivers", etc. as appropriate). ]=]

The following table specifies the known polities and their properties, where a polity is either a top-level political division (e.g. a country) or a subpolity (political subdivision of a top-level polity). Polities are gathered into groups, each of which contains several items (places) that are handled similarly. Each group contains a list of all the places contained in that group along with their properties, as well as group-specific handlers that specify common properties of all items in the group. These items are used to construct the category description objects (i.e. the objects that describe how to format the display of a category page, as documented in Module:category tree/topic cat/data/documentation) for the following types of categories:

1. A bare topical category, e.g. Category:en:Netherlands. Category description objects for these are created by the `bare_label_setter` handler of a given group. (The term "label" is used here because the category system internally  refers to the category name, without any language prefix, as a "label", and the corresponding per-label category   description objects are stored in the `labels` table in a `topic cat` submodule, notably   Module:category tree/topic cat/data/Places.) 2. Normally, several categories of the form Category:fr:Cities in the Netherlands, Category:es:Rivers in New Mexico, USA, etc., for the place types listed above in `generic_place_types`. There is a top-level handler that will automatically create category description objects for such categories. It can be disabled for all place types in `generic_place_types` that aren't in `generic_place_types_for_cities` by  specifying `is_city = true` in the data for a given item. (This is used for city-states such as Monaco and  Vatican City.) It can also be disabled for all place types in `generic_place_types` other than "places" by specifying `is_former_place = true` in the data for a given item. (The group below for former countries and empires has a  handler that specifies `is_former_place = true` for all items in the group. The reason for this is that former states   such as Persia, East Germany, the Soviet Union and the Roman Empire should have their cities, towns, rivers and such   listed under the current entities occupying the same area.) 3. Optionally, one or more categories of the form Category:de:Provinces of the Netherlands, Category:pt:Counties of Wales, etc. These are for political subdivisions, and for historic/popular subdivisions that have no current political significance (e.g. Category:nl:Provinces of Ireland,  Category:zh:Regions of the United States). These are controlled by the `poldiv` (for political subdivisions) and `miscdiv` (for historic/popular subdivisions) keys in the data for a given item.

NOTE: Second-level political subdivisions (e.g. counties of states of the US) could be handled here but normally aren't. Instead, there are special handlers below for US counties and Brazilian and Philippine municipalities, and manually-created labels for certain other countries (e.g. Canadian counties). The reason for this is that all political and historic/popular subdivisions handled here have a category like Category:en:Political subdivisions as their primary parent, whereas we often want a different primary parent for second-level political subdivisions, such as Category:en:Counties of the United States for US counties. FIXME: We should allow the parents to be specified for political subdivisions. This will probably necessitate another type of group-specific handler, similar to `value_transformer` and `bare_label_setter` (see below).

NOTE: Some of the above categories are added automatically to pages that use the template with the appropriate values. Currently, whether or not such categories are added is controlled by Module:place/data, which is independent of the data here but in many ways duplicates it. FIXME: The two should be merged.

NOTE: There is also some duplication in Module:category tree/topic cat/data/Earth, particularly for continents and supranational regions (e.g. "the British Isles"). FIXME: Consolidate the data there into here.

Each group consists of a table with the following keys:

category like Category:de:Provinces of the Netherlands or Category:fr:Cities in Alabama, USA (hence, they should include prefixes such as "the" and suffixes such as ", USA"). The value of a key is a property table. Its format is described above under "Placename Tables". Note that the property table is transformed using the group's `value_transformer` handler before being used.
 * `data`: This is a table listing the polities in the group. The keys are polities in the form that they appear in a

properties of a place; see above) to the final form used by the handlers in Module:category tree/topic cat/data/Places that handle city-type and political-subdivision-type categories. It is  passed three arguments (the group and the key and value of the data item). Its normal purpose is to add extra  properties to the data item value, such as `containing_polity` (see above) and `keydesc` (the appropriate description of the place, which often includes the type of division and the country). Some groups (in particular, the one for former polities, such as Persia and the Roman Empire) also add `is_former_place = true`. The reason these extra properties are added by a function like this instead of included directly is that they are typically the same or  similar for all items in a group, and including them directly would be duplicative. Note that there is a  preconstructed function subpolity_bare_label_setter (for subpolities of top-level polities) to help.
 * `value_transformer`: This function is used to transform the value of an item in `data` (an object containing

Module:category tree/topic cat/data/Places for bare topical categories such as Category:en:Netherlands, Category:fr:Alabama, USA or Category:ru:Republic of Tatarstan. It is passed four arguments (the `labels` table, the group and the key and value of the data item). There are preconstructed functions to help here, such as simple_polity_bare_label_setter (for top-level polities) and subpolity_bare_label_setter (for subpolities of  top-level polities). This function often makes use of the `parents` and/or `description` keys in the data item's value (see above).
 * `bare_label_setter`: This function adds an entry in the `labels` table for

arguments: GROUP, the spec for a given group; PLACETYPES, the placetype of a place or a list of such placetypes; and PLACENAME, the corresponding placename as found in a holonym, i.e. without any preceding "the". If a place matching PLACENAME is found in GROUP, and the place's placetype is compatible with PLACETYPE, return two arguments: the form of PLACENAME to be used in categories that include a preceding article (usually "the"), and the bare form of PLACENAME, without a preceding article. Otherwise, return nil. Here, "compatible" means that any of the placetypes in PLACETYPES is equal to any of the known placetypes of PLACENAME. (Most placenames in most groups have a single associated placetype, but some have more than one, e.g. Wales, which is associated with both  "constituent country" and "country", and will be recognized for categorization purposes if either placetype is used.) For example, given the placename "Bashkortostan", placetype "republic", and group data associated with Russian federal subjects, the first return value will be "the Republic of Bashkortostan" and the second return value will be "Republic of Bashkortostan". Note that the first value is always equal to the key in `group.data` that describes the placename. (Both return values are needed because some categories contain the article, e.g. Category:Places in the Republic of Bashkortostan, and some don't, in particular the bare topical category  Category:Republic of Bashkortostan.) If omitted, the function default_place_cat_handler is used.
 * `place_cat_handler`: Used in conjunction with to properly categorize placenames. It is passed three

`divtype` above under "Placename Tables". ]=]
 * `default_divtype`: The default entity type for entities in this group, if not overidden at the entity level. See
