Introduction to Florida, Ohio, USA

It should be noted that "Florida, Ohio" is not an actual geographic unit. Ohio is a core state in the Midwest of the United States, with Columbus as its capital, and is characterized by manufacturing, aerospace (e.g., NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland), and Great Lakes ports, while Florida is located in the southeastern part of the U.S., and is known for its Sunshine Coast, theme parks (Disney in Orlando), and the Kennedy Space Center, which is a famous base for the tourism and aerospace industries. Possibly confusing for state names, both are economically important states in the U.S. Ohio focuses on industry and agriculture, while Florida is dominated by services and tourism.
