The answer to the first is yes. If the 18x18 block in the middle of the 
grid were Void, and the rest were Turf, the ring would still be 
considered a Region of Turf.

Perhaps another definition could be added, a Complete Region, that has 
no holes.

The second question I'm not sure about. What do you mean by 
'un-navigable'? My proposed change only applies to Void vs. Non-Void 
squares; the connection could be filled with Impassable objects and 
still work. I could add Impassables if you'd like.

I think what you're asking is, "as long as there's some connection, 
could some parts of the region go dead?", in which case the answer is 
yes. As long as the two endpoints are both within some region of 
Non-Void, Mining is permissible. It doesn't matter of the size of the 
region varies a lot, as long as there's always a region.
