Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the state, province, or territory line of an address — a coarse, low-sensitivity component safe for broad projection.

Avoid when

• Avoid forcing a single abbreviation versus full-name form (non-functional — both coexist) and avoid using it for the resolved region place (reached via gmeow:addressPlace).

How to use

• Carry the region as written; it is coarse enough that public projections normally retain it even when finer components are withheld.

Examples

• ex:home gmeow:addressRegion "AB".
