Correct me if I have misunderstood, but I believe this article says that the tsunami caused the actual Mesolithic Doggerland (MD) to become submerged; not "an area of land the size of" it.

People really like that board game for some reason. It's decent, but it's no Mouse Trap.

You were right the first time. US state demonyms are mostly what you'd expect, with the exception of "Hoosier" for Indiana, and "Hawaiian" typically referring specifically to native Hawaiians.

There was apparently a system of traditional abbreviations before the introduction of the current set of postal abbreviations, and Maryland's was "Md."
Nebraska's used to be NB, but they changed to NE to avoid conflicting with New Brunswick.
