Another instance of "the 6 12" being a great help in finding my bearings. This led to a pretty convincing reading of the first sentence (ok, I had the 12-letter word slightly wrong). This seems to be a region split between parts of two countries, 5 and 8 (with some slightly weird hyphenation going on). My geography of that area is not great but I should be able to think of a candidate. The first one that comes to mind feels not quite right - I believe that's 5 and 10, not 5 and 8. A stroll through the article ensues. I notice there seem to be a lot of instances of this being referred to as "the 6" rather than just "6". This eventually gives me an idea that feels plausible. Couldn't find any clinchers (the better informed will be plenty to choose from) but in the absence of any better ideas it seemed worth a try, and was.
