It does!

I decided to leave that out, because I didn't want to either

include boros from other states or

make an exception for Alaska

Also, I think of boros as subdivisions of counties; and below cities in the hierarchy of political subdivisions.

Feel free to try to poke holes in my position. It does feel strange to leave Alaska out.
