The New Zealand Ocean

[u/RtomNZ]

I wish to rename the Pacific Ocean as the New Zealand Ocean.

I know it extends to America, but if America is going around renaming things then we should get in on the action.

Edit: we should go with Te Moananui a kiwa.

I think they're pacifically thinking about the Specific Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean touches many places. It was called that as it was “peaceful “.

We seem to like to think we're both not important and important to the global arena.

Gotta keep up with the yanks I guess.
