New Zealand

[Reid]

So I was going to look up if New Zealand was in the Commonwealth (thinking of moving there, would make it easier if it is since I'm Canadian), and Google gave me a few alternative search options




I thought I knew, but man, after seeing this, I'm not so sure that New Zealand is a country, it might just be a continent.

Ye, Australia and Australasia are the countries on the continent of New Zealand.

It took this thread to pique my curiosity regarding the original Zealand. Something I had never before considered.

There's a Zealand? I call BS, next you're going to tell me that there's a York or Jersey

That's okay, New Zealand is actually named after this place.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
