more consistent with the rest of the map to have them tagged as level 3?
admin_level=4 is consistent with Canada and Australia at the very least.
I believe it's also consistent with Mexico, South Africa as well as
other countries.
Given that states are often grouped together for various purposes into
regions, I'm skeptical about admin_level=3 anyways. The groupings vary
depending on the purpose and we don't map them, but it does demonstrate
that there's the concept of a grouping above states.
