Region is the published ICANN 2012 Reveal Day Region code on each Application. Applicant Region is not the Geographic Application designation, not Organization headquarters, and not a market. 2012-only — not compared to 2026 regional figures. Counts use exact Applicant legal names; Organizations and affiliates are not merged.
