Ah see the field is actually a country flag, but here we just extract
the DFS region.

You're right, for now we can enforce this to be just one region and if
we later want to change it for whatever reason we can allow for one
country to fall into multiple regions, if that makes sense. I hope to
get a better idea from Michael today if this might make sense today.
I'll reply to this thread once I do.
