See my ARRL DX Phone writeups between 2003 (or something) and 2013 - we had an excellent team of authors providing regional analysis from each ARRL Division and for the non-NA continentals. The final PDF ran over 100 pages some years! Even Spanish-language translations were available for Central and South America. Obviously, you noticed this massive writeup effort :-)
Sarcasm aside, as the managing editor for ARRL contest writeups, I can 
tell you that the ARRL is willing to provide final scoring data to any 
author who is willing to work with his or her IARU society to publish 
local or regional results.  Or write up their ARRL Division or ARRL 
Section results.  Perhaps with all this discussion about regional 
recognition, some motivated authors will come forward.  Any of the ARRL 
contest writeup results would benefit from having a separate regional 
analysis.  The writeup could either be packaged with the online results 
or, at minimum, a link to the writeups could be published.  The only 
requirement is that the author work with the local IARU society.  Any 
takers?  Contact me off-list and let's talk.

Maybe the ARRL should take his advice and start promoting these regional
winners and DE-emphasing the overall winner.
