The size/scope of a particular [class
GWeather.Location].Locations form a hierarchy, with a
GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLDlocation at the top, divided into regions or countries, and so on.Countries may or may not be divided into "adm1"s, and "adm1"s may or may not be divided into "adm2"s. A city will have at least one, and possibly several, weather stations inside it. Weather stations will never appear outside of cities.
Building a database with [func
GWeather.Location.get_world] will never create detached instances, but deserializing might.
