Municipalities (Novadi un valstspilsētas) of the Latvia, 2026. ADM1 = LAU, the primary join level. 42 municipalities (36 novadi + 6 valstspilsētas, current 2026 after the Varakļāni→Rēzekne merger). atrib = ATVK code (7-digit string, leading zeros, unique, 0 nulls); nosaukums the name. Reprojected locally 3059→4326. GeoParquet + 0.0005° simplify.

Territorial units (Teritoriālās vienības: pagasti, pilsētas un valstspilsētas) of the Latvia, 2026-01-01. STATISTICS-DOMAIN seed-prep (2026-09-23) for the CSP PxWeb population product (reference date 1 January 2026): the product keys 592 units = 585 sub-municipal territorial units (511 pagasti + 71 novada pilsētas + the 3 valstspilsētas that sit INSIDE a novads: Jēkabpils 0031010, Ogre 0040010, Valmiera 0054010) + the 7 valstspilsētas that are their own municipality (Rīga 0001000 … Ventspils 0007000). ONE SOURCE, ONE LAYER carries all 592: the CSP shapefile has exactly 592 rows (l1_type 1 = 7, 6 = 74, 7 = 511) — the 7 state cities are NOT taken from another level; they are rows whose L1_code = L0_code. CODE SET: 592/592 equal to the provider's 2026 enumeration, 0 missing, 0 extra, 0 duplicates, 0 nulls; parent_atvk equals the enumeration's parent_novads on all 585 and the parent set equals the 42-novads enumeration; unit populations summed by nuts3 reproduce all 5 region totals (1,845,096 national). NAMES: 588/592 exact; the 4 "disagreements" are the enumeration disambiguating duplicate parish names with a "(parent novads)" suffix — Pilskalnes pagasts (0020500 Aizkraukles / 0022550 Augšdaugavas) and Salas pagasts (0031550 Jēkabpils / 0039420 Mārupes); the file gives the bare name, so prefix-match is 592/592. The CSP file uses full words ("pagasts"), unlike VZD's "pag."/"nov." abbreviations. VINTAGE: the file is dated 2026.01.01 = the product's reference date exactly; the CURRENT VZD register (full resolution, CC-BY) was rejected because it already carries the 2026-08-22 Carnikava town split (593 codes) — see evidence.candidates_rejected. GENERALISATION: 1:1,200,000 (A3), disclosed; the smallest town (Durbe) is an 8-vertex polygon. That is the resolution the CSP itself publishes for thematic maps of this product; interchange geojson 1.07 MB, no further simplification. CRS: EPSG:3059 (LKS-92/TM) declared in .prj, reprojected by geo-convert to EPSG:4326; .cpg UTF-8, no encoding override.

Statistical regions (Statistiskie reģioni, NUTS 3 = plānošanas reģioni) of the Latvia, 2026-01-01. STATISTICS-DOMAIN seed-prep (2026-09-23): the CSP product enumerates 5 statistical regions by NUTS-3 code — LV00A Rīgas, LV00B Kurzemes, LV00C Vidzemes, LV005 Latgales, LV009 Zemgales statistiskais reģions (2024 NUTS; since 2024-01-01 identical to the 5 planning regions). NO DIRECT-LEVEL OPEN SOURCE CARRIES THE CODE: VARAM's planning-regions GeoJSON has names only (and mojibaked ones), GISCO NUTS geometry is EuroGeographics-encumbered. The CSP file carries NUTS3_code on every unit and its own description prescribes the dissolve, so this is the publisher's recipe applied to the publisher's file, not a level-crossing aggregation of a foreign layer. AREA EQUALITY holds exactly (delta 0 m² on all five, each region one valid piece; 64,578.87 km² total). CODE SET 5/5 equal; NAMES: the file carries the short nominative form (Rīga, Kurzeme, Vidzeme, Latgale, Zemgale) where the enumeration carries "<genitive> statistiskais reģions" — same five places, join is on nuts3. CROSS-CHECK against VARAM 2021 planning regions: symmetric difference 0.15–0.69 % of area per region — generalisation noise only, no boundary change since 2021-07-01. Generalisation 1:1,200,000, disclosed. CRS EPSG:3059 → 4326.
