Australian slang for England — used by Australians who call English people 'Poms' (or 'Pommies'). Pomland is used in a tone ranging from affectionate ribbing to genuine contempt, depending on the speaker and the context. It's the kind of word that comes out most often during Ashes cricket season or when complaining about the weather. Like most Australia-UK teasing, it's steeped in a colonial history that both cultures acknowledge with varying levels of self-awareness.
