What NE type should Kashmir be? It's a region of a continent that's not administered by a particular country. Here's Wiki take:

Dogra rule, under the paramountcy (or tutelage) of the British Crown, lasted until 1947, when the former princely state became a disputed territory, now administered by three countries: India, Pakistan, and the People's Republic of China.

Should this be a "province" like Tibet?

In FS, I see this variously being called state, world-region, country-region, etc.

Current NE-type distribution:

world-region (40 occurrences)
state (12)
province (7)
country-region (4)
territory (1)

One proposal:

When explicitly referred to as a territory: territory
When referring to the Indian part of Kashmir only: state (the primary subdivision of India)
When referring to the Pakistani part of Kashmir only: province (the primary subdivision of Pakistan)
Otherwise (most of the time): world-region

When referring to Led Zeppelin song: music (oh, let the sun beat down upon my face)

I agree with the proposal.

Okay, I will make this case-by-case decision.
