29  * <code>Region</code> is the class representing a Unicode Region Code, also known as a
30  * Unicode Region Subtag, which is defined based upon the BCP 47 standard. We often think of
31  * "regions" as "countries" when defining the characteristics of a locale.  Region codes There are different
32  * types of region codes that are important to distinguish.
33  * <p>
34  *  Macroregion - A code for a "macro geographical (continental) region, geographical sub-region, or
35  *  selected economic and other grouping" as defined in
36  *  UN M.49 (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm).
37  *  These are typically 3-digit codes, but contain some 2-letter codes, such as the LDML code QO
38  *  added for Outlying Oceania.  Not all UNM.49 codes are defined in LDML, but most of them are.
39  *  Macroregions are represented in ICU by one of three region types: WORLD ( region code 001 ),
40  *  CONTINENTS ( regions contained directly by WORLD ), and SUBCONTINENTS ( things contained directly
41  *  by a continent ).
42  *  <p>
43  *  TERRITORY - A Region that is not a Macroregion. These are typically codes for countries, but also
44  *  include areas that are not separate countries, such as the code "AQ" for Antarctica or the code
45  *  "HK" for Hong Kong (SAR China). Overseas dependencies of countries may or may not have separate
46  *  codes. The codes are typically 2-letter codes aligned with the ISO 3166 standard, but BCP47 allows
47  *  for the use of 3-digit codes in the future.
48  *  <p>
49  *  UNKNOWN - The code ZZ is defined by Unicode LDML for use to indicate that the Region is unknown,
50  *  or that the value supplied as a region was invalid.
51  *  <p>
52  *  DEPRECATED - Region codes that have been defined in the past but are no longer in modern usage,
53  *  usually due to a country splitting into multiple territories or changing its name.
54  *  <p>
55  *  GROUPING - A widely understood grouping of territories that has a well defined membership such
56  *  that a region code has been assigned for it.  Some of these are UNM.49 codes that do't fall into
57  *  the world/continent/sub-continent hierarchy, while others are just well known groupings that have
58  *  their own region code. Region "EU" (European Union) is one such region code that is a grouping.
59  *  Groupings will never be returned by the getContainingRegion() API, since a different type of region
60  *  ( WORLD, CONTINENT, or SUBCONTINENT ) will always be the containing region instead.
61  *
62  * The Region class is not intended for public subclassing.
