Like the countryCode, this value can be used to enforce content rights, especially when those rights are tied to only certain regions within a country. For example, a sporting event on the West Coast of the U.S. may not be available on the East Coast of the U.S., therefore all states on the East Coast (NY, FL, NH, etc.) would be blocked from content access.
