CountUnits command

Given a command line:

[color="Red"]CountUnits = $Great Plains;0;$USA;-1;<;3[/color]
Parameters are:

[INDENT]$Great Plains where to count the units
0
$USA Which factions units to count
-1
< less than
3 how many units must be found to get a 'true' result
[/INDENT]

I understand this to be "True if USA has less than 3 units in Great Plains."

Questions:
  1. What does the '0' do?
  2. What does the '-1' do?
  3. Is a unit anything that exists as a unit [UID] in the Units folder/database?

Thank you

0 means you are giving the alias to a region, not an area
-1 means any type and not a particular unit type

3. yes

Is this the 'unit type' definition list?

// SubTypes
$Regular = 0
$Irregular = 1
$Militia = 2
$Cavalry = 3
$Artillery = 4
$Arty = 4
$SupplyType = 5
$Ship = 6

[from \Aliases\SubTypes (of units&models).ini
