 * **Formal regions** are those that are designated by official boundaries, such as cities, states, counties, and countries. For the most part, they are clearly indicated and publicly known.
 * **Functional regions** are defined by their connections. For example, the circulation area for a major city newspaper is the functional region of that paper.
 * **Vernacular regions** are perceived regions, such as "The South," "The Midwest," or the "Middle East;" they have no formal boundaries but are understood in our mental maps.
