No mention of Ohio. Like it should be.
The proclamation has been forwarded to Google to ensure the world’s maps reflect this momentous change

Nah get the Dutch to retake it and rechristen us as Niewe Amsterdam. I want my coffeeshop weed.
You could just call it New Australia anyway. Double up and change your maps. Apparently nothing stops you
New New South Wales.
I swear there was an episode with a similar argument in The Twilight Zone.
