# Region

Regions define political or geographical groupings of countries or territories.

For example, the [European Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union) is defined as a list of countries, while [Europe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe) is defined geographically by a series of polygons.

There is one special region that includes all countries in the world and has special AID `RGN-WRLD-WIDE`

The Region object includes the following properties:

| Property       | Type         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                   |
