This edition covers the real Florida outside Miami, Orlando, and Tampa Bay, which already have their own dedicated coverage. Jacksonville, in Duval County, is Florida's largest city by population and a real logistics and financial-services hub built around its port, not a satellite of any of the state's three named editions. Brevard County is the Space Coast -- Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, the real launch infrastructure behind the country's commercial space industry. Tallahassee, in Leon County, is the state capital and home to Florida State University. Gainesville, in Alachua County, is home to the University of Florida. Fort Myers and Pensacola anchor Florida's Gulf Coast outside Tampa. None of these are Miami, Orlando, or Tampa Bay, and this edition doesn't treat them as smaller versions of any of the three.
