Region

Regions define political or geographical groupings of countries or territories.

For example, the European Union is defined as a list of countries, while 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:
