Isn't it funny that an American journal publishes an article with Australian scientists about a continent they term Zealandia after New Zealand in turn named after a place in Holland where much of the landmass and water is currently controlled by France?
I have pity on the Chinese national geographic toponym bureau for having the tedious task of translating this for national linguistic unity.
Truly, we dwell in a post-national mire of bureaucrats! We need more solid continents!
