I made a small update to the Tōkai card. A city called Nagoya in Aichi is mentioned on the card, and it occurred to me that this might cause confusion since there is a prefecture by the same name which just so happens to neighbour the Tōkai subregion. I also added the kanji for the name of the Chūkyō subregion mentioned on the card. Lastly, I added a little more information about the industrial character of the region to the card.

Here's the text if you want to add it:
Aichi Prefecture's Nagoya City, which faces Ise Bay, is a center for heavy industry
(original text: Nagoya, which faces Ise Bay, is a center for heavy industry)

The corridor also has a number of small but important industrial centers. All in all, Tōkai is one of the most industrial regions in Japan, and its coast is lined with densely populated cities whose economies thrive on factories.

Also of note in Tōkai as another sub-region called Chūkyō ( 中京圏[ちゅうきょうけん]). The three Tōkai prefectures centered on Nagoya City (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie) have particularly strong economic ties

this influence can sometimes extend into the more remote parts of these prefectures that are farther away from Nagoya City

There was one last bit of info I was thinking of adding, but it's a bit grim so I don't know if I should:
The Tōkai region has experienced a number of large earthquakes in the past, including the two great earthquakes in 1944 (also known as the "Tonankai earthquake") and 1945 (also known as the "Mikawa earthquake").[1] Following the work of Kiyoo Mogi, it is predicted that there is a possibility that the area will be subject to a shallow magnitude 8.0 earthquake in the near future.[2] Nagoya, Shizuoka, and other large cities would be greatly damaged, with casualties in the thousands, if not millions, making it one of the worst disasters on Earth. The Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction designated the region as an Area of Specific Observation in 1970, and upgraded it to an Area of Intensified Observation in 1974.[2]



Should I upload this revision as a new version, or is it not worth it?
