In France, a natural region, traditionally called "a country", is a territory of often limited extent with homogeneous physical characteristics associated with a human occupation that shares a distinct cultural identity. In some cases, traditional "pays" are subdivided into smaller territories; for example, the Bresse region is divided into Bresse bourguignonne, Bresse savoyarde, and Bresse comtoise. In Corsica, the term microrégion is used, with the island being divided into about fifteen such regions. The word "pays" derives from the Latin "pagus".
