In your urls.py file you have to add the variable you want to add to the URL....
You currently have : url(r'^region', views.region, name='region'), But it should be: url(r'^region/(?P<cnty>[\w-]+)/$', views.region, name='region'), Otherwise the url doesn't know where to get the cnty variable from and therefore you get the error.
