Values incoherent with the country
Two Overpass requests to find values that are not coherent with the country:
Replace "Liechtenstein" and "LI" with the pair you want to check.
Both can bring correctly tagged features across national borders.
[out:json][timeout:100];
// Other than "LI" in Liechtenstein (none in March 2026)
{{geocodeArea:Liechtenstein}}->.searchArea;
(
nwr["addr:country"]["addr:country"!="LI"](area.searchArea);
);
out meta geom;
[out:json][timeout:100];
// "LI" outside Liechtenstein (none in March 2026)
{{geocodeArea:Liechtenstein}}->.searchArea;
(
nwr["addr:country"="LI"];
-
nwr["addr:country"="LI"](area.searchArea);
);
