### `@region`
The `@region` attribute defines which area of responsibility a feature belongs to.
The `@region` attribute defines which area of responsibility a feature belongs to and may be set to any [valid region](/Regions).
:warning: The `@region` attribute has to be set on the `*Uid` element!
Regions are either an individual FIR (e.g. "LSAS" – the one and only FIR in Switzerland) or a group of FIRs (e.g. "LF" – the composition of all five FIRs of Metropolitan France). In other words: Regions are not always equivalent to FIRs!</dd>
Valid regions currently used by OFMX are:
**Region** | [FIRs](https://www.icao.int/safety/FITS/Lists/Current%20FIR%20Status/FPL%20Status.aspx) | [Country](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2) | Description

Furthermore, inter-regional objects such as borders or international airspaces may use the pseudo region `ZZ` if no other region is suitable.
### @mid
Since `*Uid` elements may contain many attributes and key properties, comparing them is challenging at times. Optional `@mid` attributes facilitate this by adding a unique fingerprint to the corresponding `*Uid` element.
