How To Use The GNRS

• 1. Enter political division names. Type or paste political division names into the input box. Enter up to three nested political divisions per line, comma separated, in this order: country, state/province, county/parish. Country is required. The remaining political division levels are optional, but you MUST include the commas even if the value itself is missing. Also, if you enter a value for county/parish then it must be preceded by a value for state/province. If any political division name includes commas, then it must be surrounded by double quotes. You can submit up to 5000 political division triplets at a time.
