Well, if I remember correctly, there are seven different regions.
Region 1: US, Canada, Mexico (and perhaps Latin America)
Region (2?): South America
Region (3?) United Kingdom
I could see if Britain and Australia had the same region code, but I don't think that's true. If it were, I don't think Australia would get games as slowly as they do.
I'm sure Japan has its own region, as does (perhaps) China. That leaves two regions to cover all of Africa and perhaps the rest of Europe.
Edit: Whoops. I was way off.
