This dimension names the larger region that a smaller one is part of. Wikipedia notes that "the land and water global regions are divided into subregions geographically bounded by large geological features that influence large-scale ecologies, such as plains and features," exactly the nested structure this dimension records. Browsing by part of groups a subregion under the wider region that contains it.
