 *'''''Places'''''. List all jurisdictions, in order from smallest to largest. Give the town (or parish or township); the county, province or district; then the state; and the&nbsp;nation last.&nbsp;For example:
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephenstown, Renesselaer, New York, USA<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ansbach, Oberfranken, Bayern, Germany

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do not use abbreviations, except for USA. They can be confusing. Take, for example, the&nbsp;abbreviation ''WA''. To some, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it&nbsp;means&nbsp;the state&nbsp;of&nbsp;Washington. To others, it means Western Australia.
