In the New World, there are regions named after places in the Old World, often significantly larger than their namesakes. For instance, in Zeeland (a province in the Netherlands), there are 381 thousand people living on an area of 1.8 thousand square kilometers. In New Zealand, around 5 million people inhabit an area of 268 thousand square kilometers.

Wales has approximately 3 million residents living on 21 thousand square kilometers, while in New South Wales (a state in Australia), 8.4 million people reside on 800 thousand square kilometers. Interestingly, there are two Englands and two Scotlands that are more or less comparable in scale.
