Region

A Region represents a geographic entity — country, federal state, province, or district — used in the ECommerce context primarily to define the geographic scope of shipping addresses and tax jurisdictions. When a customer enters a delivery address, the selected region determines which tax rates apply and which shipping rules are in effect.

Regions carry ISO codes, a country flag (to distinguish top-level countries from sub-regions), and a display name. They are referenced on Address records and can also be used to restrict article availability by geographic market.
