Just read the SPSS help/reference materials. They include the Help system,
the Syntax reference, and the Complex Samples algorithm, all available in
the SPSS installation and also at the SPSS web site. You will have to
provide details on sample design (e.g. number of regions, size of the
region, clustering or stratification of the sample within each region,
etc.).

Dear Hector,

You hit the spot. What I need is to use the "complex samples" module. Do you
have any suggestion about goods materials to read about "complex sample"?

PS: My point about big and small regions is that in small regions I have
samples much bigger than in big regions. So in small regions my weighting
factor is much smaller than 1. This is the case as in Spain we have regions
with many inhabitants and regions with only few inhabitants. Thus, a
proportional sample is impossible. That's the reason why the sample is
relatively bigger in smaller regions..... I guess it is also the case in
Canada and other federal States.
