ASBs swap Japan and Great Britain, Ceylon and Ireland

[Flocculencio]

OK at midnight on the first of June 2005, ASBs move the island of Great britain into the same position as Japan while moving Japan to GB's current position. To take Japan's greater length into account, Japan's northern or southern islands may be placed outside the 'footprint' of GB.

At the same time, Ireland (including N. Ireland) is swapped with the island of Sri Lanka.
