I'll try to have a look at ISO-3166 terminology. Using "region" may
also be confusing because we will get people asking for Rhein-Westfalen
or "Nord-Pas de Calais"...or (ultra high provocation) Tibet.

I think the name is "country or territory" or something like this.

But, well, in 99% of cases, the name "country" is appropriate. Maybe
ask for removal of Hong-Kong and Macau from ISO-3166....:-)
