    I need to use Stans for regional definitions way more often.

    The canadian Lynx stans most of Canada sans their arctic islands , and Alaska.

    I need to hear this on ZeFrank and CasualGeoraphic.

      I don’t know if this is a misunderstanding or if you’re deliberately using an additional second meaning for comedic effect.

      But @ChaoticNeutralCzech meant ‘stans’ as ‘central Asia’ because of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kirgisistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
