In this context, "country subdivision" = "division"
i.e. "administrative country subdivision" = "administrative division", etc

From Administrative division: "Administrative divisions are distinguished from political divisions, as the former are entirely contained within a sovereign state."

Articles/stubs/redirects needed: Fraction (country subdivision) · Locality (country subdivision) (cf Locality#Geography) · Section (country subdivision) · Sector (country subdivision) · Subregion (country subdivision) · Thana (country subdivision) (Bangladesh)
