If it is unset, the server uses the region with the 'fallback' value set. 
currently this is the region wilderness, which seems like the sanest one to 
set it to, as a result, most world maps don't have a region set. 

The idea of a drop down list is interesting, though I don't know how to do it 
in java.

given that most maps (by number, if not complexity) are currently relying on 
the fallback region I don't think it is needed to refuse to save them, a map 
out in the wilderness not belonging to any city seems perfectably reasonable.

crossfire $ grep "^region \w*$" lib/regions | cut -f 2 -d " "
wilderness
world
creation

etc.

is there a nice way to sync the output of that command into the map editor? or 
to apply the same operation to the regions file and symlink into the 
mapeditor repository?
