JACKAL

Virginia is not a country

Further to previous comments, I'd add that West Indies isn't a country either (if West was your intended compass point for that particular connection), but a region in the North Atlantic that incorporates a number of countries and territories across three archipelagos. It also does have a "supplement partner" in the form of "East Indies" which dependent upon definition used either covers Indonesia and surrounding islands, or additionally the Malay Archipelago and in a final context also mainland Southeast Asia...

While the Dutch did explore much of Australia's Western and Southern coastline (and small parts of Northern Australia), there was no attempt by themselves to permanently settle or establish colonies on the continent, therefore Australia should not be considered a former Dutch Colony.

Finally, one presumes "Chine Calendar" refers to the "Chinese Calendar"... Great ideas, unfortunately let down by the errors...

@ Diablo: I was actually intending more of an academic than religious format, as a former Lecturer... my intentions were to disseminate the correct information, correct any errors attributed to the grid and perhaps provide some additional (and hopefully mildly interesting) knowledge to a (conceivably uniformed) small number of those in our online community... although I will henceforth try to address the issues of tone in my comments... I'd probably had a bad day at the office and just needed to vent - or was perhaps inebriated (those two aren't mutually exclusive!) ;)
