Hello,

We have "Aruba" under CountryCriteriaId (from previous API) but in the CSV 
file Aruba (id: 2533) is under TargetType "Region". We have 22 such entries 
for country that appear under "Region" target type instead of Country -- 
Aruba,Guadeloupe,Puerto Rico,Turks and Caicos Islands,British Virgin 
Islands,Cayman 
Islands,Kosovo,Other,Timor-Leste,Martinique,Taiwan,Anguilla,Bermuda,Faroe 
Islands,Gibraltar,Greenland,Hong Kong,Macau,Mayotte,Netherlands 
Antilles,Palestine,U.S. Virgin Islands

=> I don't know if this list has changed recently, but the ones you have 
listed look like regions to me. By most international standards, they don't 
fall under the category of *Country*. 

We have two entries in "RegionCriteria" British Columbia (id: 20114) and 
Ontario (id: 20121) that appear under "Province" target type instead of 
"State" (like other regions do).

=> Since you said 'other regions', I checked Alberta and Quebec in the 
list. Both of them appear as Regions in the list. Subdivisions of countries 
can be different depending on the country. Canada has provinces and 
territories. The United States has states. Switzerland has cantons, while 
other countries won't have that.

Best,
Nadine, AdWords API Team
