Zealand

I'm confused... If the nation across the ditch is called New Zealand, then where is Zealand?

I know that there is a Wales to accompany New South Wales and a York to match New York... But Zealand?

Also... What kind of place is it? In the two above examples, the "New" is superior in my opinion. Therefore, how crappy is Zealand to be trumped by the Kiwis?

Confusion reigns.

Google and Wiki combined tell us that Zealand is the largest island of Denmark.

It looks rather dull, and I think it might have a distinct lack of hobbits.

Nah Zealand is a small town with full of Zealots for sheep. Hence the name Zealand and hence the ridiculous amounts of sheep in New Zealand.
