i have been searching the towns provinces are named after in several countries now and it have come into my notice the a lot of those provinces are named are tiny insignificant villages instead of major towns and cities in the area.
so my question is, why?

*all examples from overkill map*
*i talk only about provinces and i understand towns are built into the game strategically and not based of population*
examples:
1. the city of smolensk which consists of about 300k people in real life is in a province named after a village named "kirov" which i wasn't able to find info about
2.the city lyon which is the second largest city in france is not represented at all on the map even as a province and in its place is a commune called "chalon-sur-saone" which again i wasn't been able to find info about
3.a city called cagliari in sardegna which consists of 0.5 million people including its countryside is in a province named after a town called "Olbia"
which is only 51k people

there are plenty more examples of smaller ratios or examples i simply didn't find that if needed i can search for tomorrow

why=other whise devs needs to make a lot of provinces for every big city

i like how they did it i should make an big problem about it because you will get an Fucked up map if you do major towns provinces ......

my topic is only about the naming and i don't want to have a province for every town and city too
