Looks like I was wrong again, dang it. Zealand is in Denmark, but apparently Holland has one too. And it looks like New Zealand was named for the Dutch one not the Danish one. Go figure.

The Dutch East Indian ccmpany were primarily based in these two provinces in the time of its existence and therefor when the dutch travelled to Australia and New Zealand on there (lets just called it) expeditions they called New Zealand after Zealand and Australia after Holland. If that is confusing it is because Australia used to be called New Holland but then the British showed up and they changed everything as they always do. As for the kittens I have no idea if they are English or Dutch but there are some mean kitties over there. |

I'll stand corrected again. According to the dreaded Wikipedia "Holland" is used informally in English to refer to the entire Netherlands. My correction should have been more formal. (sheesh)

That's Zealand in Denmark.
Old Zealand floats above the sky using the magnetic fields...Cows are called MooMoo's there and they drink milk and we make it for them. We worship cows there as we have no women. |
