I am looking for a word that describes a geographical landmass which is bigger than a single nation but smaller than a continent.

"Region" is not accpetable - I am using that already to define a much smaller area, so can't use it.

For example, this word will descibe these types of landmasses:

• East Coast (US + Canada)
• Western Europe
• Alpine Region
• South East Asia
• ASEAN
• Korean Peninsula

Why?

I am designing an information system that deals with geographical regions of varying sizes.

• World
• Continent
• ? <- this is the word I am looking for
• Country
• Region (this is for state, province, city, town, village, suburb, borough, and everything in between)

Options

The only option I have is "subcontinent" - but I wish there was something better.
