| The whole world is divided into lots of regions. Most regions are political based. A region can have subregions. The biggest regions are states (e.g. Germany). These are mostly divided into smaller regions, like federal states (e.g. Bavaria). The number of lower levels differs from country to country (it could be up to 7 or more sublevels). | The whole world is divided into regions. Most regions are political.

| ==== Latest Region transfers ==== | If you [[ui:long_press|long press]] on an already played [[rules:quadrants|quadrant]] in the app you see the hierachy of regions this quadrant belongs to (from d0 = country level at the bottom till d4 / d5 / d6 at the top). The name of the region can have a suffix: |
| [filterrss https://www.badge-r-s.de/regionsHistory.php?feed=rss ] | * **[R-]** if the region has got already a ruler badge |
| </block> | * **[-M]** if the region has got a mapper badge |
| | * **[RM]** if the region has got both the ruler badge and the mapper badge. |

| ''Note:'' The list of regions to score, i.e. generate such badges, is **manually redacted** based on play activity and depth in hierarchy among other criteria. | ''Note:'' The list of regions to score, i.e. generate such badges, is **manually redacted** based on play activity and depth in hierarchy among other criteria. |
| ''Note:'' There is a time delay for **mapper badges**. This is for a bit of data hiding and (some kind of) privacy, as a mapper badge actually indicates, you have played in that place, unlike ruler badges which might go to players who have never been in that particular region, but their badges have been dropped by other players. | ''Note:'' There is a time delay for **mapper badges**.

| ''Note:'' When a **new player** starts playing, their first two regions are "activated" even if there is less activity than would usually be required to award badges. This is to encourage new players and adapt the number of regions locally. | ''Note:'' When **new players** start playing, their first two regions are "activated" even if there is less activity than would usually be required to award badges.

| To determine to which region a quadrant belongs, Badgers actually uses OSM service Nominatim. Such a mapping can be non unique, i.e. some quadrants overlap two or more regions. To get a one to one correspondence, **the region of the center of a quadrant in the sense of Nominatim** is considered the region a quadrant belongs to. Ah, well, and sometimes, if it is feasible or way too bad, we manually improve Nominatim mappings in our database. We have developed a means, that allows us, to periodically update our data from Nominatim, without such corrections getting overwritten. But this is really close to nasty details. | To determine to which region a quadrant belongs, Badgers actually uses [[:nominatim|OSM service Nominatim]].
