<div id="ygrps-yiv-222675383">hahaha yes reasonable but only a reasonably political basis rather than a reasonably <br/>
geographical basis<br/>
as you promote & imply if not claim for them<br/>
for they in fact only provide political definitions of these supposedly geographical <br/>
distinctions<br/>
& not the geographical definitions you suppose they & you are lending here<br/>
<br/>
for example there doesnt appear to be any member in 2 regions or subregions<br/>
which of course would be a geographical absurdity<br/>
in view of the size & diversity of some of them <br/>

&gt; If you&#39;re talking about geographical extremes then it makes sense to use <br/>
