What is Region

A virtual world simulator, often installed on a virtual machine that processes and displays the virtual landscape. A single server can host multiple regions.

Set of connected (adjacent) pixels of a digital image. Connectivity of pixels is usually defined in terms of 4-connectivity (top, bottom, left, and right neighbor pixels) or 8-connectivity (including also the closest neighbor in diagonal directions).

Regions are composed of groupings of territorial units geographically close to each other (Hurrell 1995 AU23: The in-text citation "Hurrell 1995" is not in the reference list.

However, for the students of international relations, the term has a different meaning going beyond geography. Regions are characterized by a certain degree of mutual interdependence (Nye, 1968 AU25: The in-text citation "Nye, 1968" is not in the reference list.

Some writers also view the term from the Constructivist perspective and argue that regions are socially constructed spatial ideas that are based on the shared features of cultural identity like religion and language ( Goltermann, Lohaus, Spielau & Striebinger, 2016 , p. 5).
