Information on Regional Areas: ?
Introduction
A region can be either:
- an administrative subdivision of a country.
- a sometimes vaguely-defined geographical area of a country or continent.
Administrative regions
The word "region" is taken from the Latin regio, and a number of countries have borrowed the term as the formal name for a type of subnational entity . In English, the word is also used as the conventional translation for equivalent terms in other languages.
Geographical regions
A region can also be used for a geographical area; with this usage, there is an implied distinctiveness about the area that defines it. Such a distinction is often made on the basis of a historical, political, or cultural cohesiveness that separates the region from its neighbours
