Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Locate the Egypt administrative-area data and its related tests, then verify that the terminology matches the UPU and Wikipedia references; done means the Egypt value uses the requested term and tests pass.

Description

on hold

Right now the administrative area type for Egypt is "province", but UPU and Wikipedia both use the term "governorate". And yes, it sounds terrible :)
