We live in Guelphia

Everyone loves a good map but this one is a bit overzealous in it’s state placement. The map, showing 10 states, is a proposal published in The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society. Guelphia consists of a combination of modern day Victoria, NSW and a sprinkle of South Australia. Victoria (proposed) on this map is located in southern WA and Tasmania in northern WA/NT.
Gotta love the English creativity with every state either ending in “ia” or “land”.
