How it relates to other codes

The codes 802 was split from, spawned, or shares its area with. A split divides the map and changes some numbers; an overlay shares the same ground and changes none — what's the difference?

What's changing. No overlay. Single statewide code. Exhaustion not anticipated until roughly 2072.
