/**
* <code>Region</code> is the class representing a Unicode Region Code, also known as a
* Unicode Region Subtag, which is defined based upon the BCP 47 standard. We often think of
* "regions" as "countries" when defining the characteristics of a locale. Region codes There are different
* types of region codes that are important to distinguish.
* <p>
* Macroregion - A code for a "macro geographical (continental) region, geographical sub-region, or
* selected economic and other grouping" as defined in
* UN M.49 (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm).
* These are typically 3-digit codes, but contain some 2-letter codes, such as the LDML code QO
* added for Outlying Oceania. Not all UNM.49 codes are defined in LDML, but most of them are.
* Macroregions are represented in ICU by one of three region types: WORLD ( region code 001 ),
* CONTINENTS ( regions contained directly by WORLD ), and SUBCONTINENTS ( things contained directly
* by a continent ).
* <p>
* TERRITORY - A Region that is not a Macroregion. These are typically codes for countries, but also
* include areas that are not separate countries, such as the code "AQ" for Antarctica or the code
* "HK" for Hong Kong (SAR China). Overseas dependencies of countries may or may not have separate
* codes. The codes are typically 2-letter codes aligned with the ISO 3166 standard, but BCP47 allows
* for the use of 3-digit codes in the future.
* <p>
* UNKNOWN - The code ZZ is defined by Unicode LDML for use to indicate that the Region is unknown,
* or that the value supplied as a region was invalid.
* <p>
* DEPRECATED - Region codes that have been defined in the past but are no longer in modern usage,
* usually due to a country splitting into multiple territories or changing its name.
* <p>
* GROUPING - A widely understood grouping of territories that has a well defined membership such
* that a region code has been assigned for it. Some of these are UNM.49 codes that do't fall into
* the world/continent/sub-continent hierarchy, while others are just well known groupings that have
* their own region code. Region "EU" (European Union) is one such region code that is a grouping.
* Groupings will never be returned by the getContainingRegion() API, since a different type of region
* ( WORLD, CONTINENT, or SUBCONTINENT ) will always be the containing region instead.
*
* The Region class is not intended for public subclassing.
