| 1 | +# Lithuania City Municipalities Fix |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Issue Reference |
| 4 | +**Issue:** [Data]: Lithuania missing city municipality |
| 5 | +**Problem:** Lithuania was missing 7 city municipalities according to ISO 3166-2:LT standard. The database had 45 district municipalities instead of the correct structure: 7 city municipalities and 44 district municipalities. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Countries/Regions Addressed |
| 8 | +- Lithuania (LT) |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Changes Made |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### Added 7 City Municipalities |
| 13 | +According to ISO 3166-2:LT, Lithuania has a specific administrative structure with city municipalities (miestas) that are distinct from district municipalities. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +**Converted 5 existing entries from district municipality to city municipality:** |
| 16 | +1. LT-02 - Alytus → Alytaus miestas (state_id: 1605) |
| 17 | +2. LT-15 - Kaunas → Kauno miestas (state_id: 1580) |
| 18 | +3. LT-31 - Palanga → Palangos miestas (state_id: 1588) |
| 19 | +4. LT-43 - Šiauliai → Šiaulių miestas (state_id: 1609) |
| 20 | +5. LT-57 - Vilnius → Vilniaus miestas (state_id: 1606) |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +**Added 2 new city municipalities:** |
| 23 | +6. LT-20 - Klaipėdos miestas (new entry) |
| 24 | +7. LT-32 - Panevėžio miestas (new entry) |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### Added 4 District Municipalities |
| 27 | +To maintain the correct structure, added 4 district municipalities that exist separately from the city municipalities: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. LT-03 - Alytus (district municipality) |
| 30 | +2. LT-16 - Kaunas (district municipality) |
| 31 | +3. LT-44 - Šiauliai (district municipality) |
| 32 | +4. LT-58 - Vilnius (district municipality) |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### Municipality Count Changes |
| 35 | +**Before:** |
| 36 | +- Counties: 10 ✓ |
| 37 | +- District municipalities: 45 ❌ |
| 38 | +- Municipalities: 9 ✓ |
| 39 | +- City municipalities: 0 ❌ |
| 40 | +- **Total: 64** |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +**After:** |
| 43 | +- Counties: 10 ✓ |
| 44 | +- District municipalities: 44 ✓ |
| 45 | +- Municipalities: 9 ✓ |
| 46 | +- City municipalities: 7 ✓ |
| 47 | +- **Total: 70** (matches ISO 3166-2:LT) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### Fields Updated |
| 50 | +For each converted/added entry: |
| 51 | +- `type`: Changed to "city municipality" or added as "district municipality" |
| 52 | +- `name`: Updated to include "miestas" suffix for city municipalities |
| 53 | +- `native`: Updated to match new name |
| 54 | +- `translations`: Added/preserved translations for all entries |
| 55 | +- `wikiDataId`: Updated/added WikiData identifiers |
| 56 | +- `timezone`: Added "Europe/Vilnius" for all entries |
| 57 | +- `iso3166_2`: ISO codes properly assigned |
| 58 | +- `parent_id`: Set to appropriate county ID |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Validation Steps |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### 1. ISO Code Verification |
| 63 | +```bash |
| 64 | +python3 /tmp/check_iso_codes.py |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | +**Expected result:** All 70 ISO codes present (10 counties + 7 city municipalities + 44 district municipalities + 9 municipalities) |
| 67 | +**Actual result:** ✅ All 70 codes present, 0 missing, 0 extra |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +### 2. Municipality Type Count |
| 70 | +```bash |
| 71 | +jq '[.[] | select(.country_code == "LT")] | group_by(.type) | map({type: .[0].type, count: length})' contributions/states/states.json |
| 72 | +``` |
| 73 | +**Expected result:** |
| 74 | +- city municipality: 7 |
| 75 | +- county: 10 |
| 76 | +- district municipality: 44 |
| 77 | +- municipality: 9 |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +**Actual result:** ✅ Matches expected |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +### 3. Verify City Municipality Structure |
| 82 | +Each major city now has the proper administrative structure: |
| 83 | +- **Alytus**: County (LT-AL), City Municipality (LT-02), District Municipality (LT-03) |
| 84 | +- **Kaunas**: County (LT-KU), City Municipality (LT-15), District Municipality (LT-16) |
| 85 | +- **Klaipėda**: County (LT-KL), City Municipality (LT-20), District Municipality (LT-21) |
| 86 | +- **Panevėžys**: County (LT-PN), City Municipality (LT-32), District Municipality (LT-33) |
| 87 | +- **Šiauliai**: County (LT-SA), City Municipality (LT-43), District Municipality (LT-44) |
| 88 | +- **Vilnius**: County (LT-VL), City Municipality (LT-57), District Municipality (LT-58) |
| 89 | +- **Palanga**: City Municipality (LT-31) only - no district municipality |

| 194 | +- **Data quality improvements:** |
| 195 | + - ✅ Lithuania now complies with ISO 3166-2:LT standard |
| 196 | + - ✅ All 70 administrative divisions properly categorized |
| 197 | + - ✅ All entries have timezone information |

| 200 | + - ✅ Proper parent-child relationships established |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +## Notes |
| 203 | +- The distinction between "city municipality" (miestas) and "district municipality" is important in Lithuanian administrative structure |
| 204 | +- City municipalities are urban cores with city status |
| 205 | +- District municipalities are larger administrative areas that may include rural areas |
| 206 | +- Some major cities (Alytus, Kaunas, Šiauliai, Vilnius) have BOTH a city municipality AND a district municipality with the same name but different ISO codes |
| 207 | +- Palanga is unique - it only has a city municipality (LT-31) without a separate district municipality |
| 208 | +- After MySQL import, city references may need to be updated to point to the correct city municipality IDs |
