Direct All US Government Employees to Refer to the Country of New Zealand as Lil' Australia, Hobbitland or Splitenzia.

Created by D.L. on February 07, 2013

We do not believe that New Zealand is a proper and serious country. We ask the Obama administration to direct all executive branch employees, political appointees and diplomatic staff to hereafter refer to New Zealand by one of the following three nicknames:

1. Lil' Australia
2. Hobbitland
3. Splitenzia

This order extends to all documents, written and spoken communications. In addition the president will direct The National Mapping and Imaging Agency to amend all maps accordingly.
