In many of these cases 'region of representation' may be clearer than 'region', which, careful reading of 2e aside, is likely to be interpreted as where a competitor lives or competes. 2e1 also requires updating.

I'm not sure @thewca/wrt owns this - if it was originally created by James was it WFC related?

Results - are there any database or other places we need to update for region vs. country and the recent changes?

[SAuroux]

I am not sure if I understand the full extent of this change correctly. What codes would need to be updated in the database, is there maybe a concrete example?

In any case @thewca/wrt could support here, but so could @thewca/software-team .

Code was already changed in thewca/worldcubeassociation.org#8166

I think we should be careful about using terms that are not referenced anywhere else. That said I don't have any better suggestions. Maybe it is still fine to use "region of representation" since it is just a clarifier of region?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I wanted to ask if any country code requires changes. For example:

Line 184 in wca-states.md: (TW:_Asia) Taiwan.

The name of the file should be changed to "WCA List of Recognized Regions" rather than "WCA List of Recognized Regions of Representation". In particular, the regions are also used for the countryid of the competition (and I don't think we would say the competition is representing for that region).

LGTM!
