	Region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A region can be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States").
		Sometimes a region associated with a religion is given a name, like Christendom, a term with medieval and renaissance connotations of Chhristianity as a sort of social and political polity.
		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).
