Description

Spotted by MaxSem: few thousands articles use GeoData's ability to specify a region for an item.

On the other hand, Wikidata has over 3 million items with P17 specified. It would be logical to fetch that data for the coordinates marked as primary coordinates of the subject page, also to make T110016 more useful.
