Yup. You can test things like this using tinker too.

php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.8.11 (PHP 7.1.6 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> str_plural('country');
=> "countries"

In your Country model add:

    public function getRegions()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Region');
    }

In your Region model add

    public function getCountries()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Country');
    }

This will use the pivot table as expected.
