What would constitute a 'political subdivision' of a state? Would a
county, city, or town qualify, or does this official definition refer
to a state militia (eg California Highway Patrol)?


Nope city and county counts as a political subdivision. This is how many
police departments are flying used OH-58s that don't have N numbers.
