I think it might be a good idea to streamline the "us political offices held" type, and make it so that one type can be used for all countries, which should make this domain a bit easier to handle. It will also solve a major problem, which is that there is currently no way in the schema to link from a country to its elected officials. I've posted the modified type over in my private domain. I'd love to get everyone's comments on it and see if we can come to an agreement on this.
The main changes would be to eliminate the "state (if state)", "county (if county)", etc. properties and replace it with a new property that can be used for all levels of government. It would also do away with the need for some country-specific types (politician and political party).

I'd like to thank everyone who's commented on my first attempt at this. Based on various comments, I've come up with a new attempt: http://www.freebase.com/view/domain/user/jeff/government_test_2. Come by, put in some data, and let me know what you think! (More specific details about what I changed are discussed in my private domain.)
