I think two years ago I made a map based on Thompson's 1922 Map of his Australian States proposal on Deviant Art.

This is the actual image of his proposal which at the time I also posted on Imgur.

If you ask me this is by far the strangest way to split Australia into more states, hell Western Australia looks like it had a massive heart attack from this proposal.

One of the United Nations' first proposed sites was a 42-square-mile enclave in Greenwich, Connecticut, north of the Merritt Parkway, along with parts of Stamford and North Castle.

It would be called the Free City of the United Nations, with a territorial situation kind of like Vatican City. Its construction would have involved a new railroad and four-lane highway, an airport, a sewage treatment plant, a residential section, a business section, hotel, power plants, churches, schools, a hospital, fire and police stations, and 12-story administration building modeled after the Pentagon with room for 50,000 office workers. Many, many diplomats and dignitaries, along with their families, would live and work here.

I think the idea to make Navy Island + Grand Island into a UN city would work a bit better so it would just be an enclave surrounded by one nation.

John D Rockefeller Jr bought the land for the current UN Headquarters and donated it to them.

So theoretically, the only POD you need to make one of these a reality is either a faster magnate donating land or to convince Rockefeller an island by Niagara would be scenic? Neat.
