character vector with names
the type of USA statistical unit to check
year of the analysis
the type of id to check if unit is set to "states"
the scale of the map
a logical value indicating whether nomatched id are returned.

The function provides a check between id names in the dataset and the USA unit. unit starts from the largest aggregate, "country", to the smallest, "district". Since unit can change over the years, the year of the data has to be provided.
The single state can be coded in different ways, with names, id or number.
