 Sado Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sado (佐渡国 Sado-no-kuni) was a province of Japan until the late 19th century; since then, it has been a part of Niigata Prefecture.
Sado was one of Japan's more remote areas, and nobles and aristocrats were often exiled to Sado when out of favor.
In the Kamakura period, the province was granted to the Honma clan from Honshu, and they continued to dominate Sado until 1589, when Uesugi Kagekatsu of Echigo Province took over the island.

If the province in question has iron sands (for an armory) or another valuable metal (for money,) or if a specific type of troop trained there is of superior quality, it would be a good idea to take and develop that province as soon as possible.
The province of Noto has little value and taking it usually requires a garrison to hold (if you decide to do so at all.) When making the push to Kaga it may be possible to ignore Noto until you’ve cleared the area.
One of the most desirable provinces is Shinano: it can hold a large area and borders many provinces on both sides, has excellent mountainous terrain to defend, iron sands for an armory, and the cavalry produced there are of superior quality.

 Alemtejo - LoveToKnow 1911
There are several extensive plains, notably those of Alemtejo, lying south-west of the Serra de Portalegre; of Beja, between the Sado and Guadiana; and of Ourique, farther south between the same rivers.
Alemtejo is traversed by three very important main lines of railway, the Madrid-Caceres-Lisbon, Madrid-Badajoz-Lisbon and Lisbon-Faro; while the two last are connected by a branch line from Casa Branca to Evora and Elvas.
For administrative purposes the province is divided into the districts of Portalegre in the north, Evora in the central region and Beja in the south; but the titles of these new districts have not superseded the ancient name of Alemtejo in ordinary usage.
