Our MapQuest API keys are revoked. To create new key we have to add payment method (by credit card) :(

I switched from MapQuest to Nominatim. It works fine for Poland, but I’m not sure about the rest. There are also other methods for determining the region, such as NUTS. NUTS doesn’t work locally for me.
