There is no enumeration method for RegionInfo objects (though it is on the
list of things to get in there at some point). The only way to do it
presently is to use the GetCultures() method to get all the specific
cultures (CultureTypes.SpecificCultures) and then create a RegionInfo out of
each LCID, checking for unique region codes to avoid duplicates.
