How they got their names

Smart to put IDELAND and IEELAND next to each other so the programmers and electrical engineers can work closely together.
- There's a first time for everything I guess
  
  First time since the 70s, I suppose. Though there weren’t IDEs then.
- I don’t even work together with other programmers
  
  Unpair Programming FTW!
This means we can extrapolate the location of Izeland.
- After that there's Jaeland.
  
  So you're saying any word in the latin alphabet can be projected onto this map. The fabled land of Icecream is on this very map. We could do so much with this technology.
Why is there an added U in Iqueland?
- Because you always put U after Q silly.
  
  Qantas qat and qaid being a few rare exceptions. (Qantas is technically an a abbreviation though.)
- yeah that's why it took me longer to figure out
I may be stupid but I don't understand what this image is trying to communicate to me. It just looks like a line between two islands with a bunch of nonsensical words to me.
- Its Iceland-> Ireland but working its way through the alphabet for the second letter, so d,e,f,g,h... etc.
  
  I see.. but I still don't get the joke.
  
  It's like saying Austria and Australia have similar names you but just gotta change the letters a bit.
- A b iCeland d e f g h i j k l m n o p q iReland
- Telephone game on the boat
Permanently Deleted
- It is now and you don't get to change it.
- Well it is one, isn't it?
Iqueland is very scenic.
I prefer SataLand myself
Ijeland ... aka ... Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

I knew it!
Makes sense!
