This dimension groups regions by how much territory each one covers. Wikipedia notes that "as a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms," and the sheer area a region spans is one of the simplest of those terms. Browsing by area band separates sprawling regions from compact ones.
