Hint: Oz is short for Australia.
Just as an irrelevant aside, when Judy Garland's version of The Wizard of Oz was a new hit, there were Australian troops in North Africa fighting Rommel and marching to the tune of 'We're Off to See the Wizard..."
It was playwrite's idea, and I liked it because OZ is so close alphabetically to NZ, and in any case it's some kind of quaint fairyland far removed from America and its peculiar reactionary culture. But "OZ" for Aussie works as well. I didn't know that about the troops singing that song; funny.
