 ====== Geographic Setup ======
-Admin menu category for setting up main regions (aka countries) and sub-regions (aka states if in U.S.)
+Admin menu category for setting up Countries and States/Provinces.  These are used for display purposes, and optionally for tax purposes as well, and are used in billing info for certain payment gateways.
-TODO: Finish this page.
+<tip c n>**Note:**  Since the country and state/provice drop downs are used for tax purposes, and also used in the billing info sent for certain payment gateways, we recommend keeping it for use as countries and state/provinces.  If you wish to use more //flexible// geographic location information, you might consider the Geographic Navigation Addon, as the information collected for that addon is not used for taxing or payment gateway purposes, and allows for unlimited levels of sub-regions.</tip>
