To keep the admin hierarchy, you need to cut the areas out of the states.
The admin hierarchy is broken if you don't. You've been saying, for
example,
that someone is in the Lummi Nation (http://www.osm.org/relation/1606799),
and not in Washington State.
Contracting for some services is not unique - I've seen small villages
do it for basic services where they contract from nearby larger places.
I took TIGER data and produced data showing what some states would look
