ADMINID - consisting of
3-digit UN country code + 2-digit first level unit code + 2-digit second level unit code + 2-digit third level unit code + 2-digit
fourth level unit code + 2-digit fifth level unit code.
To produce the subnational code, the administrative units were (a) sequentially numbered based on a list of administrativeunits in an official census publication if available, or (b) alphabetically ordered otherwise.
DEMOFLAG - indicates the major (i.e., biggest) polygon in cases where an administrative unit consists of more than one polygon. For all polygons belonging to the same unit, the full attribute information is replicated in the data table. Therefore, for any frequency table construction or summary statistics calculation, one needs to select the polygons with a FLAG value of one first to avoid double counting.
