For the region names...

It depends if you want them to be in English or in its original form.

It seems anyway, that you put the names slightly out of the regions they were... In the last map of this page, you have the names of the regions.

As for gameplay the regions have been changed, I'd say you can name like this:

1 - Blue region - Cibao Oriental
2&4 - Orange Region - Cibao Occidental & El Valle
3 - Yellow Region - Cibao Norcentral
5 - Purple Region - Enriquillo
6 - Green Region - Cibao Central
7&8 - Brown Region - Valdesia & Región Metropolitana
9 - Red Region - Yuma

...actually I need some smaller names...how should I abbreviate the Orange and Brown regions...and maybe the yellow region too...?

Cibao Occidental, Valdesia.

The other is hard to shorten... put Cibao Norte.

OK thanks, why did you change the letters when you abbreviated it to Norte.?

Norcentral - North-Central
Norte - North

PS. You may also put "República Dominicana" as a subtitle, or similar.

On the territory cards you will receive they will not have those funny marks on the names...they show up as "?"

Why Valdesia & Cibao Norte have periods? I guess I should have put them between commas...

Maybe the text of Cibao central (and its number) can be shifted downwards a bit, so that the cengter of the minimap is a little less bizzy
and maybe the text and circle of La vega (green) can be moved a bit downdwards (or right?), cause it hits the border and it has space enough
Same for la altagracia (but then to the left) (red)

and maaaaaybe Ma trinidad a little bit to the right, but im not sure if that would make it any better.

oh, and the font of the (sub)title in the minimap is very different from the other fonts - maybe to bold, or to italic, dont really know.

yeah, why not reuse the same font from the territories in the mini map including the sub title in the mini map.

also, i still think that it would look better if all the colors except for the background, the grey and the brown would look better if the saturation was increased by 2.

The easiest way to do this is to select all, then with the magic wand hold down alt and then click on the brown, the grey and the background color. Then menu->adjustments->hue/saturation and change it to 102
