I.2 Great Northwestern New Australian Madagascar

Great Northwestern New Australian Madagascar (also gazetted as New Australian Northwest Madagascar) is a country north-west of Western Australia. It is exactly the shape of Madagascar. It began as a map-printing error and became law under the Cartographic Anomalies Act s 2(A)(ii).

I.2.1 Mapping

It does not appear on Google Maps, which the Department attributes to modesty.

I.3 Spelling of parody marks

The spelling QEENSLAND GOVERMENT on the parody state mark is deliberate. Corrections will be returned uncorrected.

I.4 Body bag pricing by jurisdiction

See Appendix K.2.

I.7 Disputed boundaries

The provisions of this sub-entry have been relocated to Appendix G.7 (Naming Disputes), on the basis that every boundary dispute is, at heart, a dispute about what something is called.

Parody satire — this appendix is fictional and is not advice, except where marked "not satire".
