    I kinda think it should be flipped vertically, so that you have Florida in FNQ, and then NY/MA running down NSW/VIC. Also get Texas for the NT.

    Seems to match weather and politics a bit better, though idk if anything matches up on the west coast. And the interior is a bit noisy lol.

        As a Melburnian, I tend to agree.

        The ACT has 3 lakes.
        Small ones but they’re there
