Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'geographical' (pertaining to geography) simply modifies 'region' (an area), so the phrase denotes an area defined by geographic features. This standard adjective + noun pattern is cross‑linguistically common and easily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Geographical region creates a simple map picture: the word geographical points to land and maps, and region means a connected 'area' or 'part of land'. So, the phrase means a clearly marked 'area' of the world used for geography, politics, or culture.
