Duplicate Keywords - List #35 (Proposals for Permanent Merger and Auto-Conversion) (geography keywords pt. 2)

Here is the next installment of my lists of proposed keywords for permanent merger and auto-conversion.

I am posting this for fellow contributors to review first and raise any objections or questions. I will wait at least 14 days before changing this post to a "problem" post and asking IMDb staff to make the proposed changes.

The mergers and auto-conversions should be made in the direction of the arrows.

I think two of these go against standards. Generally, it's location state/country but you have florida-everglades and australian-outback. It seems like it might be better to have the-everglades-florida and the-outback-australia so they resemble other keywords.

IMDb staff (@Bethanny and @Michelle):

Now that the 14-day comment period has passed, I have converted this post to a "problem" post, and the post is now ready for action by IMDb staff. I will paste the list below with the numbers of titles removed.
