- It's coastal, so you have the "roll up in the amphibious, then roll out on the beach & sun yourself" perk.

- It has beautiful scenery once you get away from the beach (& yet, because it's all small islands, you don't need to pack much more than the amphib., so it's all around an easier vacasion.)

- Americans are familiar with it because of Lord of the Rings, which adds a wonderful moralist tie-in to the justification. There could perhaps be a life size Eye hidden up in some mountains, and a Mission Accomplished style PR frenzy around the destruction of it.

- The ladies are pretty, with a subtle accent. And yet, as they speak English the inevitable forced-families will be somewhat easier to adapt to. And whenever they run out there are plenty of sheep.

- For the ladies in the forces, you can diet & still enjoy the local cuisine when all you eat is vegemite.
