Please fix Australia's region boundaries

As an Australian in real life, and previously an eAustralian for several months, the eRepublik map of eAustralia is somewhat concerning
Here is an image of RL Australia (from wikipedia)

Here is eRepublik's version:

The general shape of each state (region) is correct 🙂
However there are some major problems:
● Tasmania (the island down the bottom) has suffered some serious continental drift in its transition to the New World
● Melbourne (capital city of Victoria) is currently located in eSouth Australia
● Sydney (capital city of New South Wales) is currently located in eVictoria
● Brisbane (capital city of Queensland) is currently located in eNew South Wales
While South Australia is an important region in game (it borders every other region), it is simply not that massive in real life!

South Australia really should be renamed considering parts of the mainland in WA and Vic are way further south. They just wanted to be like us in WA and claim a hole quadrant of the compass for themselves
they completely took out ACT/Canberra too.

Well looking at the map South Australia has a lower point than Western Australia but not Victoria
Yeah this map, but i was talking more RL in general. You can tell the creators of the game must be European as look at their provinces, very accurate. For ours they just drew straight lines and said 'that will do, those aussie will be too drunk to notice'.
The states and Canadian provinces are like that, too. Manitoba is abnormally skinny, and New Jersey looks like it was someone drawing squiggly lines (compared to how it really looks).
indeed, they dont seem to care about the capital of australia (but then again most of us dont)
I'm too drunk to notice.
Plus, I like them kooky.
It's only Victoria 😛
Actually it is every state that is incorrect.
I agree, that map sucks. 😛
Victoria is AWESOME. And a semi-irrelevant fact, Perth has just over-taken Melbourne as the second most affluent city in Australia. Sydney (who would have guessed) is currently first. Today Tonight sucks and im out.
