Pays de la Loire is one of the 26 regions of France. 

It is one of the regions created in the late 20th century to serve as a zone of influence for its capital, 
Nantes, one of a handful so-called "balancing metropolises" (métropoles d'équilibre)¹. 

Other examples of "artificially created" regions include Rhône-Alpes, 
which was created as the region for Lyon, and Midi-Pyrénées, which was created as the region for Toulouse.
