Normalizes city names for Germany (DE) and Switzerland (CH) and matches them to NUTS 3 regions using provided crosswalks. Features include comprehensive normalization rules, cascading matching logic (Exact NUTS -> Exact LAU -> Fuzzy), and single-source data synthesis. The package implements the NUTS classification as described in the NUTS methodology (Eurostat (2021) <https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts>).
