EDIT. I have to laugh at myself. I misread this as “Australia”, not “Austria”. Doh.

Just to be sure, you do realize this is about Austria not Australia?

Lol. My mistake. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I just updated my post. Whoops.

Austria, Australia; Sweden, Switzerland; and worst of all Colombia, The District of Columbia (which isn't a district but a state), British Columbia (which isn't in Britain), also a small Australian Columbia (which is actually in Australia).

I feel we need to get someone on clearing up this mess of confusingly named localities.

Don't forget Georgia

The headline is about Austria, not Australia.

There's an article? I see a list of blocks with no commentary.
