Nagano System, why not Fukushima?

[Fluffyball]

We all know that Kusari is based on Japan. However, I found out a small faux pas here. According to the tradition of naming systems after regions and planet/bases after cities/landmarks... We have Nagano. But looking at Nagano however, Nagano, irl, is part of Honshu island. And Tomioka (real world counterpart of Planet Tomioka) is part of Fukushima (named after Fukushima family, e.g. Masanori Fukushima).

So, why Tomioka is in Nagano System, but not in Fukushima System?

Trivia: There is Tomioka Castle on Kyushu, I wonder if that Planet Tomioka is said to be identical to Kyushu was made by pure accident.

If we were to list all errors made with naming, we would have to rename half the places in Discovery.
No point.
