Regions - Areas

It might be represented as a tree (Administration structures). However, it is not necessary for all areas "additional types", ( i.e. Touristic and custom structures) which can be overlapping.

We maintain our own region-areas “tree” to be flexible and be able to respond to customers' needs. However, there is a “common” area structure in the world. We import this "common structure" from other sources.
