This dimension groups cities by the subregion of their country or continent they fall within. Wikipedia describes a region as portions "of the Earth's surface that are broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography), human impact characteristics (human geography) or the interaction of humanity and the environment (environmental geography)," and a subregion is simply a smaller instance of the same idea. Browsing by subregion groups cities more tightly than country alone allows.
