Region searching

With the vast number of regions it is obviously very difficult to research them. (I'm looking for large region population comparisons, and appreciate the earlier work by Tactical Grace and SalusaSecondus.)

In the NS "World/list all regions" page, would there be any possibility of having a filtered search list that would for instance only show regions with, say, >100 nations? (Seems like this would reduce bandwidth demands, neh?)

Alternatively, could the search box accept wildcards?

Just hoping to make life easier...

Failing the wildcards in search box idea (which I can understand might hit the server hard), is there any possiblity of each letter having its own page? So the region page has 26 links, each leading to 20-40 pages of links (rather than 800+ pages of links in the Region area at the moment).

Excellent idea, to add to this wish list i'd love one that lists regions with a high preportion (variable should you wish) of a political type, so for example you could select: search for regions with high number of left leaning college states.

It would make finding regions like your own alot easier thus bolster many diplomatic arrangments. 8)
