It’s a province in the Netherlands. It’s only \ few hundred km from legoland in Denmark - the dude should get out more - I bet he only goes to the central bit of Old Amsterdam.
He's on a mission of knowledge

Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.

Also Brooklyn is named after Breukelen. Vancouver was named after Van Coevorden. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman.
It’s almost as if the Netherlands used to be relevant in world exploration

Zealandia is not old Zealand… The name comes from a province in the Netherlands.

Unbelievable, I would never have guessed

there is actually an indie game in which old zealand exists, it’s called nuclear drifter and is a bit like the first fallout games, it’s pretty fun and you should check it out on steam, it’s even free I think

We know where it is and it’s basically on all world maps - it’s the New Zealand that keeps disappearing from them.

A province in the Netherlands. Lots of sea there; translates “sea land”.
