Answer 5

When old Zealand vanishes.

Answer 6

until Zealand no longer exists

Answer 7

Until Great Britain is properly called Britain..........not a lot great at the mo.

Answer 8

Why?

In what way does it concern you?

Answer 9

mmm. I guess about another 500 years. That would be enough to age the nation.

Then we can be called Zealand. An then after another 500 years, the name can be changed to Old Zealand.

Thanks for the question =)

Answer 10

Probably in about 10,000 more years.

Bottom line is you can't just change a name of a country !

Answer 11

ummmm... what a strange question!  it takes a lot to change the name of a country, it's not something that will just happen overnight.  there would be referrendums and who knows what else... and i doubt they would go to all that effort to remove three letters (n, e, and w) from the country's name!!  seems like a big waste of time to me!!
