Topic: Oio Region


  
  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Region   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
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 (eg, the región, used in Chile).
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.
