G'day Matt,
It irritates me that this issue is trotted out as an example of 'US-centric Wikipedia' every single time, when it's only a simple case on the surface and relies on a knee-jerk reaction for its popularity.
Suppose Federation had occured slightly earlier, such that Queensland (which we'll be calling "Germany" for this experiment) had existed as an Australian State for longer than Germany has as Germany.

Sounds like the kind of chauvinistic demands that the Greeks put on Macedonia.
