Ohio:

The region that has the city of Cleveland in it is called Sandusky. However, the city of Sandusky is in a region called Maumee. For clarity, the region that has Cleveland in it should be called Cuyahoga -- the major river that runs through that region.


California:

The southern most two regions, Imperial and Santa Ana (the areas that have the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego) have no resources showing in the economic mode. In reality, Santa Ana has (in real life) an area called "Orange County" hence for these two areas tropical fruits would be appropriate, along with oil, fruit, and wine.

For reference, the provinces in Southern California do already have oil resources in the game - but they only appear on the map after you've researched the appropriate technologies.

Would oranges count as tropical fruit or ordinary fruit? It does seem reasonable to give Los Angeles a resource to represent them, although I do wonder if fruit grows there naturally, or if it's only there as a result of large-scale irrigation after the province was settled?

Good qustion.

I did a little research. This overview (http://www.ocsd.org/vgnfiles/ocgov/Clerk-Recorder/Docs/Archives/history_of_orange_county.pdf) states that the first orange groves were started in 1870 when new irrigation systems were built.

I suspect that falls within the realm of PoN normal agriculture. It predates Hoover Dam, so it must have been irrigated with local water sources.

I would like to suggest a change to Nebraska. The area listed as Western Iowa shows a port on the Missouri River identified as Des Moines. Des Moines in not on the Missouri, the port must represent Council Bluffs. However the area to the West is called Council Bluffs. I think it would be clearer to label it as Omaha or Eastern Nebraska.

Bump

With Phil and Pocus back, I was hoping they could take a look at this suggestion.
