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. Duplicate Keywords Proposed for Permanent Merging and Auto-Conversion boston (50 titles) --> boston-massachusetts (788 titles) british-columbia (154 titles) --> british-columbia-canada (50 titles) catskill-mountains (19 titles) --> catskills (26 titles) --> catskill-mountains-new-york (1 title) central-park (94 titles) --> central-park-new-york-city (17 titles) --> central-park-new-york (11 titles) --> central-park-west-manhattan-new-york-city (2 titles) --> central-park-south-manhattan-new-york-city (2 titles) --> new-york's-central-park (4 titles) --> central-park-manhattan-new-york-city (426 titles) constantinople (47 titles) --> constantinople-turkey (56 titles) ddr (96 titles) --> deutsche-demokratische-republik (44 titles) --> gdr (98 titles) --> german-democratic-republic (94 titles) --> east-germany (353 titles) everglades (78 titles) --> everglades-florida (4 titles) --> the-everglades (2 titles) --> florida-everglades (38 titles) --> the-everglades-florida [new keyword] havana (46 titles) --> havana-cuba (221 titles) hellas (915 titles) --> greece (1879 titles) hellenic (913 titles) --> greeks (3 titles) --> greek (1455 titles) hiroshima (61 titles) --> hiroshima-japan (111 titles) houston (45 titles) --> houston-texas (256 titles) long-island (76 titles) --> long-island-new-york (229 titles) louvre (61 titles) --> louvre-museum (43 titles) --> the-louvre-paris (7 titles) --> louvre-museum-paris (13 titles) madison-square-garden (83 titles) --> madison-square-garden-manhattan-new-york-city (115 titles) midwestern-united-states (28 titles) --> midwest (142 titles) --> mid-west (2 titles) --> american-midwest (66 titles) mount-st-helens (37 titles) --> mount-saint-helens (4 titles) --> mount-st.-helens-washington (1 title) munich (54 titles) --> munich-germany (265 titles) northern-territory (97 titles) --> northern-territory-australia (37 titles) nova-scotia (113 titles) --> nova-scotia-canada (8 titles) old-athens (515 titles) --> old-athens-greece [new keyword] outback-australia (221 titles) --> australian-outback (642 titles) --> the-outback-australia [new keyword] pearl-harbor (201 titles) --> pearl-harbor-hawaii (7 titles) queens-new-york (30 titles) --> queens-new-york-city (200 titles) queensland (103 titles) --> queensland-australia (98 titles) southern-u.s.

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.
