These level heading titles & positions are in APA format.

APA format standardizes levels/positions, although heading levels may differ somewhat according to the type of paper and discussion. Use the APA-formatted heading levels to differentiate your countries and include a short comparison discussion.
I have included an example of heading levels for your first paper:
