This is huge for me, so thanks for the topic.

Before testing it, I wrote an entire post about how Team Regions and Team Draft Regions work mostly as intended, but neither force teams to use players from the set region on their active rosters (which used to be the case in some previous version or other) and how there is a convoluted workaround that I’ve been using for a few years involving creating a new nation based on a region (e.g., West Indies) and setting all the nations in said region (Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, etc.) to use the new nation as a second nation 100% of the time (sounds confusing when I type it all out).

But that seems to be irrelevant now as OOTP26 counts team region as team nation for roster limit purposes. You'll just need to make sure the game region is using (or not using) the nations you want included and adjust or create a new region as necessary.

This is new for ootp26?
