[CITIES]

Declares all cities used for indexing

City#=ciy_name

The first # must always be one. Subsequent # must be in ascending order.

E.g.: City1=New York

80 characters maximum.

RegionIdx#=region_ index

The region_index represents the number in the corresponding

Region#

statement.

The first # (RegionIdx) must always be one. Subsequent

...

[END]

# must be in ascending order.

If included, there must be at least 1 city per Region. In theory, the limit is 13,107.

E.g.: RegionIdx1=1, means that the current city is located in

Region 1 (right side of the equal sign).

The statements above can be repeated as needed.
