It's a province in the Netherlands. It's only \ few hundred km from legoland in Denmark - the dude should get out more - I bet he only goes to the central bit of Old Amsterdam.

there is actually an indie game in which old zealand exists, it's called nuclear drifter and is a bit like the first fallout games, it's pretty fun and you should check it out on steam, it's even free I think

"Trust you? You don't even know where New Zealand is."

"You can dance your way there from Old Zealand...."

"...that's China."

"YOU'RE China!"

That's an outrageous accusation.

We know where the old one is and it's basically on all world maps - it's the New Zealand that keeps disappearing from them.
