New Zealand Should Not Be On Maps

Someone opened a PR to literally delete New Zealand from all world map charts because, and I quote, "including New Zealand on a world map is a cartographic regression." The best part? They actually wrote proper documentation with verification steps confirming that "New Zealand is absent from country datasets" and "Australia survived." Even CodeRabbit approved it.

The reference to r/MapsWithoutNZ is *chef's kiss* - it's a whole subreddit dedicated to the fact that New Zealand gets accidentally omitted from world maps so often it became a running joke. So naturally, some developer decided to make it official by submitting a "bug fix" that treats New Zealand's existence as the actual bug.

This is what happens when developers have both too much time and the perfect amount of commitment to the bit. The thoroughness of the PR description is what really sells it - treating the removal of an entire country with the same seriousness as fixing a memory leak.
