The best I can manage would be "noofn-LAND" when used as a noun, and "NOO-fnland" when used as an adjective. That is,
I live in "noofn-LAND", and Sparteye has a "NOO-fnland" puppy.
It is absolutely NOT, NEVER, EVER, "noo-FOUND-lnd". (I had an Ontario friend who couldn't get past that.)
And, I appreciate the numbers of NZ sheep (I've actually read it somewhere before) but I think the sheep are there on purpose. Aren't they kept in fields, behind fences? I also think they're unlikely to kill you if you hit one with your car. The oppossums - well, that's a bit much. But let's not go into the number of mosquitoes in Manitoba during the summer!
The moose, however, are just plain everywhere. They do taste very, very good!
