As Bryne mentioned the 5 regons have been the official as I can read since 2007.
I have been using the 5 for years now in my own DB and are easy to keep track on.
Ok cool. Iāll put those five forward then in the main thread for separating regions. Iām not sure at all when itās going to happen though. Basically was just trying to get a good sense of this to pass on to @services but really depends on when they have time to split other regions. At this point seems like one of Denmark, netherlands, scotland, Spain and france might be most likely. No idea when or which.
Splitting makes no sense. These regions are mainly for political reasons to provide local elections related to secondary healthcare sector. Debate has been on and off to get rid of them all together. Their current form is also a simplification of more āamterā previously.
Why? Bornholm is part of capital region, so they would show up with the Copenhagen breweries, I guess you would find yourself 4 hours away from many breweries that way when on Bornholm. Using map / close to functions would be what is needed.
Because Denmark is a small country? And Norway and Finland too, considering low population? But, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are now going to be split in lots of regions, especially Irelandā¦
Splitting a contry like Denmark is not very important for me, but I guess lots of geeks like the hunt for beer (and places) from all regions. All kind of beer stats are important for many. Makes RB more relevant?
There are so many of us on the forums that want more stats. Just look at how big the main region split thread has got on this subject - 382 replies! Itās clearly high in demand. Clearly been a huge driving force behind the push to getting countries split.
Bigger countries obviously have additional reasons for being split into regions, but in reality it doesnāt actually matter how big or small a country is. Thereās already quite a few that are ready to be done as soon as services has the time, some of them are tiny (N. Ireland).
Some will find it pointless or just donāt care, sure, but thereās no harm done to anyone in breaking down countries into regions.
