The table under discussion is a part of a dataset collection that holds related data tables. This particular table is a comprehensive collection of data, organized in rows and columns, that provides information about the regions in Finland in 2021, as per the information sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland). This information includes the name of the region in various languages, the region's unique identifier, and the year of data collection. All geographic coordinates presented in the table follow the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude.

The table also includes special columns like 'extract_date', which denotes the date when the data for a particular row was extracted, and '_row_number', which indicates the row number in the data extracted from the source. The combination of these two columns uniquely identifies each row, ensuring the integrity of the data. Moreover, the table contains a set of columns beginning with 'geom', which hold geographic information that can be used for geospatial data analytics.

Given the information in this table, it can be used for a variety of data analytics purposes. For instance, it could be used to analyze the geographic distribution of regions in Finland. Analysts could also use this data to track changes in the regions over time by comparing the extract date with other variables. Additionally, the geographic data could be used for creating detailed maps or geographic representations of the regions. In brief, this table is a rich source of data for anyone seeking to analyze or understand the regions of Finland.
