+Creates a file where all of the server's region selections are stored.  
+####Types of Region
+
+    BLOCK-BASED  
+        each block-based region is a Boolean[x][y][z].  
+        The TRUE/FALSE value represents whether the coordinate is, or is not, part of the region.
+    
+    COLUMN-BASED  
+        each column-based region is a Boolean[x][z]
+      
+    CHUNK-BASED  
+        each chunk-based region is a Boolean[x][z]
+        (16x16 columns)
+      
+    REGION-BASED
+        each region-based region is a Boolean[x][z]
+        (32x32 chunks)
+
+####Stored as Byte Serialization
+
+    Each region is stored as a byte serialization representing the actual java object, the array itself.  
+    You convert directly from string to object.
+
+####Region Name as File Structure
+
+    You might name a region "World_Nether.Towny.PeriwinkleNation.TownName.Outpost1"
+    or "World.WorldGuard.Spawn"
+    or "World.SoftClaim.iie.1.(120 -2453)"
+    or even "World.misc.3"
+    
+    the file extensions might be 
+      .blocks
+      .columns
+      .chunks
+      .regions
+      
+####Stored in a central location
+
+    Somewhere highly accessible to other plugins
+    Maybe a loose file in plugins/
+    or a standalone folder
