Okay... I didn't actually check, as I knew that number was close.

I didn't, actually.  But now that I have, I see *PLENTY* of Z2 Regions 
that have 12-15-ish nodes in them.  My little Network (I'm the NC) has 
more than that.

Some are way bigger, yes.  Not sure "mostly" is accurate.  So here's a 
question - does every little postage-stamp sized country need to be it's 
own region?  In the USA we call those size plots "states", and there are 
multiple states in a Region.

This is unfortunately true, and I'm no happier about that than you are.
