Comparability — General

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially defined regencies have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring regencies.
Boundary changes for MIG2_5_ID are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
