Meanwhile, when applying for Australian citizenship, it of course asks about other citizenships you may have, and I noticed in the drop down menu "Bouvet Island" which I'd never heard of, so I googled it, and its a desolate island near Antarctica which sometimes has up to six scientists for a few months. As a territory of Norway even if someone _was_ born there they'd be a Norwegian citizen. I always think it's really weird that these things get included in these lists. I bet Trump has specific tariffs on it too.

And if they have penguins, even bigger tariffs. LOL

I'll bet that drop-down is populated from a 3rd party source that wasn't meant for such a purpose. I upgraded a web application where you could search for a physician based on your zip code. It included zip codes of things like Amazon warehouses and nuclear power plants. On the plus side, I'm glad to learn of this tiny place. I had never heard of the two penguin islands before the tariff farce.
