A suggestion for the region listings

It is a bit hard to go through the region listings, as you have to start from one end or the other and go through a bunch of pages of stuff you aren't looking for before you get to the section you need.

Would it be possible to allow skipping through to a certain letter?
Like having something at the top going:
#-A-B-C-D-E-F
and so on, with each letter being a link to the beginning of the section of the list of regions that conatains the regions starting with that letter?

I don'[t know how hard it would be to implement, and I know you aren't likely to make changes to NS1, but it might be a useful feature to add in NS2.

Don't think it's possible. Regions and nations aren't in a database...

Ah.
Oh well, there goes that idea...

You could always open the frame in a new window, and do this approximately by altering the value at the end of the address.

Now I feel like an idiot because I hadn't thought of that.
It makes too much sense!
