the parent location(s) in which the location is located. This is looked up by Template:Country2continent if the location is a country.

|tail=province is available for use when the location is a subdivision of the parent location.
e.g. on Category:Universities and colleges in California, use {{Universities and colleges in Fooland category header|parentlocation1=United States|tail=state}}
