1 region or 1 found
Technically one could have 1 found in a country without having found 1 region in the country. For example Denmark has 10 caches that currently don't belong to a region in Project-GC as can be seen in a Caches per Area search for Denmark, there are a couple of more countries with similar issues even if it's more common to have this problem on county level and not region level. Is this rare enough that it makes sense to simplify the requirement on the wiki, or should it say "1 find in the country" or similar instead of "1 region"? --Pleu (4523550) (talk) 15:47, 26 January 2022 (CET)
- Depends. If you found one of those 10 caches, and nothing else, would you get the bronze badge even if you hadn't found any regions? Optimist on the run (6278087) (talk) 19:50, 26 January 2022 (CET)
