Land

North Atlantic Lands
Newfoundland is the marked with the red spot on the left,
Scotland & England are marked with the red spots on the right.

Trying to explain Ireland to someone who had never heard of it this morning and I realized that the North Atlantic is populated with a string of islands with land in their name:

•  England
•  Scotland
•  Ireland
•  Iceland
•  Greenland
•  Newfoundland

There are a bunch of other places with land in their name scattered over other parts of the world, but they don't have this close historical / geographic proximity:

•  Finland
•  Poland
•  The Netherlands
•   Switzerland
•  Swaziland
•  Thailand
•  New Zealand

Update November 2016 moved Scotland.
