States and Territories of Australia

This group collects the first-level administrative divisions of Australia carried under the Geography atlas's States or Territories type, the states and territories the atlas records at this level. Membership follows each division's own existing associated-with link to Australia, already recorded on the division's own entity, so grouping by country here reorganises how the States or Territories: State subcategory is browsed rather than adding a new claim about any single division. A reader looking for a specific Australian state or territory can go straight to this group instead of scanning all 127 divisions across nine countries on one page. Divisions of other countries the atlas covers at this same administrative level, among them the United States, India, Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, Germany, Venezuela and Malaysia, sit in their own separate groups at the same level rather than here.
