Australia has the most boring state and territory names imaginable. We have the audacity to call our most populous state "New, South Wales" without even having a "New North Wales". We have a state called "Queensland" and a state called Victoria which shows a modicum of ingenuity until you realize they're both named after that fat prude Queen Victoria.
The only cool sounding place is "Tasmania" which is nice until you find out it use to have the slightly more bad ass name
>"Van Diemen's Land"
And who can forget the inspired genius of:
>Western Australia
>South Australia...
>We need a politically neutral place for the federal capital like "District Columbia" in the US
>no worries, I got you fαm
>What is it?
>Australian Capital Territory
and wait for it, the most innovative name in the history of political districts:
>Northern Territory
No wonder the Chinese want to buy us up.
So /bant/ we need your ingenuity to invent new names for our bureaucratic abominations!!
Don't let your Aussie friends down or will set the crocs on ya!
