Yes, and your Canada (New Zealand)

For some reason, the English speaking peoples like to pair up countries. One big, one small. England being the motherland, did it 2-3 times. (Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland)

Central and South America and Asia are elsewhere too. Do you have an estimate for Australia alone? I was trying to be very conservative and show sales would still be strong.

P.S. Is there a name for Australia + New Zealand? (Oceania?)

[Iceman_II]

Australasia includes Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and many of the islands in the Southern Pacific

Yep the name is Australia or New Zealand. Oceania refers to a number of the Pacific Islands as well (not sure exactly which ones but like Solomon Islands and Fiji). I'm not so certain about this pairing up thing either. There is fierce rivalry between the two countries. Luckily on the sporting field, but it's take no prisoners. They make Roo jokes we make sheep jokes. The only time we join up (work very closely together) if there is a really, really good war on. The last was WW2 (I hope we never join up again)

NO more geography in this thread. However I hate to inform you (and mainland Australia) Tasmania is a state of Australia, exactly the same as Texas, Arizona etc is to the US
