New Zealand is a country featured in Street Fighter V. New Zealand is a beautiful country in the South Pacific, off the East coast of Australia. A nation made up of islands. Population: 4 million (as of April 28th, 2003). However, there are 40 million sheep. You know what that means. It has strong democracy for the sheep, but not for the humans under a proportional voting system, and generally a fairly Social Democrat Glorious Liberal government. The climate is moderate - neither too hot, nor too cold. Healthy indoors/outdoors lifestyle year-round. The islands are home to many flora and fauna not found elsewhere in the world, such as kiwis and tuataras. Sheep are also abundant. The people who settled New Zealand tried to make it as much like England as quickly as they could, but it ended up being like Wales instead. The sheep cut down most of the beautiful native forests on the North Island, permanently destroying habitat for many unique species. Most of the North Island is now one enormous lawn, and is used mainly for raising sheep (a British non-native species). They filmed The Lord of the Rings there, the sheep even deployed their Orc army and equipped them with medieval weapons to save money. It is not known for its fjords, which is a shame. The Prime Minister was Helen Clark, leader of the Labour Party till John Key of the National Party won a General Election. They were invited to join the Commonwealth of Australia as a state or two, but the invitation hasn't been taken up in the last century. One of their blokes conquered Mount Everest. Another split the atom. Birthplace of Phar Lap and probably pavlova. The only country outside USA to have produced yachtsmen who could skipper a big yacht into winning and then successfully defending America's Cup. World netball champions. Were favourites to win the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and video replays suggested that they should have reached at least the semis. World-famous musicians from New Zealamd include Kiri Te Kanawa, the late Inia Te Wiata, and now Flight of the Conchords, aka Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie. New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Wellington is the capital, and Auckland is the largest city. New Zealand first participated at the Olympic Games in 1908, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then. For their first two Games in 1908 and 1912, New Zealand competed with Australia in a combined Australasia team. New Zealand first sent an independent team in 1920. New Zealand's participation in the 1976 Games was controversial, and led to a boycott of the Games by most African countries, who protested against sporting contacts between the All Blacks and apartheid South Africa. New Zealand has also participated in most Winter Olympic Games since 1952, missing only the 1956 and 1964 Games. New Zealand athletes have won a total of 86 medals at the Summer Games. The most successful sport is athletics. New Zealand has only won a single medal at the Winter Games, but the silver medal won by Annelise Coberger in alpine skiing at the 1992 Winter Olympics was the first medal won at the Winter Games by a Southern Hemisphere nation. The 87 medals won by New Zealand puts them at Number 36 on the All-time Olympic Games medal count for total number of medals and Number 33 when weighted by medal type. The Polynesian Maori reached New Zealand in about A.D. 800. In 1840, their chieftains entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights. In that same year, the British began the first organized colonial settlement. A series of land wars between 1843 and 1872 ended with the defeat of the native peoples. The British colony of New Zealand became an independent dominion in 1907 and supported the UK militarily in both World Wars. New Zealand's full participation in a number of defense alliances lapsed by the 1980s. In recent years, the government has sought to address longstanding Maori grievances. New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland. New Zealand starts out with a fairly good economy for a country of it's size, overshadowed by the economic power of politically dominant neighbor Australia. It starts with, roughly, an income of $10 billion, expenses of $15 billion, a defecit of $5 billion and an international debt of $30 billion. Despite this, it maintains relatively good resources access at 70%; it does unfortunately maintain a trade defecit on all it's sectors. In spite of that, a good amount of income is generated from sector taxes and a personal income tax base of 50.6%. It's overall economic health is 61.1%. New Zealand's gross domestic product starts as roughly $67 billion and a rough GDP per capita of $17,000, indicating that it is a moderately rich nation. New Zealand maintains economic influence in the Pacific region, where it is a significant donor of foreign aid. New Zealand's foreign policy is largely influential in the Pacific region. New Zealand is an unreleased song by Amanda Palmer. New Zealand, offcially the Republic of New Zealand (Maori: Tūwehe Aotearoa) is an island nation in southern Oceania comprised of three islands, two larger ones and one smaller, thus it shares no land borders with any other country. Its capital is Wellington. New Zealand is a country in the Pacific Ocean, some 2000 kms to the east of Australia. Christianity in the country dates itself back to the arrival of Missionaries from Europe in the 19th century. Around 56% of the population defines themselves as Christian. The New Zealand cricket team, nicknamed the "Black Caps", are the national cricket team representing New Zealand. They played their first Test in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth country to play Test cricket. It took the team until 1955–56 to win a Test, against the West Indies at Eden Park in Auckland. They played their first ODI in the 1972–73 season against Pakistan in Christchurch. The current Test, One-day and Twenty20 captain is Brendon McCullum. McCullum replaced Ross Taylor who replaced Daniel Vettori after Vettori stepped down following the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Vettori had replaced New Zealand's most successful captain, Stephen Fleming, who led New Zealand to 28 Test victories, more than twice as many as any other New Zealand captain. The national team is organised by New Zealand Cricket. As of January 2015, New Zealand have played 399 Test matches, winning 80, losing 160 and drawing 159.

New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/; Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island nations of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life; most notable are the large number of unique bird species. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. More information on the Wikipedia page [1]. New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation: it is situated about 2,000 km (1250 miles) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea, and its closest neighbors to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. During its long isolation New Zealand developed a distinctive fauna dominated by birds, a number of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and the mammals they introduced. One surviving bird species, the kiwi, has become a national symbol. The majority of New Zealand's population is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority. Asians and non-Māori Polynesians are also significant minority groups, especially in urban areas. The most commonly spoken language is English. The country's OFLC (Office of Film and Literature Classification) is responsible for the rating system for games. New Zealand sold the full versions of Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, while Australia had censored versions with some content removed. This is because New Zealand has an 18+ rating for games, whilst Australia lacked this until 2013, meaning that particularly violent or sexually explicit games may have been refused classification and banned from sale or required substantial editing to meet the highest (MA15) rating in Australia. Consequently it was common for Australian gamers to illegally import their R18 titles from NZ. New Zealand, or Aotearoa in Maori, is an island nation in the south Pacific. It has never hosted a Grand Prix, but has produced a number of notable drivers. Denny Hulme was the 1967 World Champion, and fellow Kiwi Bruce McLaren founded McLaren.

Where the 1982 side actually earned their way into the tournament by playing 15 matches and facing tough Asian sides, the 2010 side qualified for the cup in the most dire fashion, illustrating all that is wrong with the world game these days. The ‘All Whites’ played all of 8 games to qualify, beating powerhouses Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia in the pathetic Oceania section to earn a playoff with Bahrain. This improbably easy route to the finals is surely a mockery of the sport, when other sides play up to 18 games to earn a spot. The only reason the Kiwis qualified was due to the absence of Australia, who would knock the All Whites out every four years usually. The Aussies sensibly chose to play in the Asian qualifying section, therefore ensuring better competition and being able to claim they actually earned their way in. New Zealand’s poor route will ensure a repeat of their 1982 campaign, where they were matched against Brazil, Scotland and the USSR, all of whom thrashed the ‘plucky’ Kiwis. The 1982 side was comprised mostly of aging British amateurs who worked by day as labourers and factory workers. A few had tryouts with Rotherham and Halifax, but failed to make the grade. However simply by virtue of being British meant players would be selected for the national side, despite being no better than the average park player. To raise money for plane tickets to Spain, the 1982 side did a massive amount of fundraising, including car washes, chopping fire wood, organizing spaghetti dinners and selling bags of wine gums on doorsteps. Unable to raise enough money for all the squad, some players were forced to stowaway on huge ships months before the cup kicked off. Duncan Cole and Alan Boath both arrived on the day of the opening game against Scotland, both malnourished and cowering. During that World Cup Kiwi defenders could be seen following the ball, with five players to one man, leaving 8 unmarked opponents in the penalty area, all lining up to score. During the 4-0 loss to Brazil, the Brazilians actually played without a keeper, as the boys in yellow enjoyed 100 percent ball possession and played knockabout in the Kiwi’s penalty box for 86 of the 90 minutes. However the Kiwis will always be labeled as having ‘heart’ and being ‘underdogs.’ In their opening game against Slovakia later this year they can be expected to score the opening goal, raising hopes, but going on to lose 4-1. A further 3-0 loss to Italy will sever all hopes, followed by a 5-0 thrashing by Paraguay, leaving them last in an utterly atrocious group. Following their exit the fake enthusiasm for ‘Soccer’ will disappear overnight, as the supporters who backed them will revert back to rugby and claim ‘soccer is for fags.’ The national side will play their usual 2 internationals a year, often in front of 100 spectators at a local park with an uneven slope and goals without nets. Like 1990, World Cup coverage on TV will also be non-existent, with ten minute highlight packages shown 5 days late. Only the final will be shown live, before being interrupted in the second half to show the Maori news show Te Karere. It must be noted that football was not shown on free to air TV in New Zealand from 1990-1997 unless you had Sky TV, which was limited to one city. It’s really no wonder New Zealand is a dismal footballing nation. Then again the All Blacks are pretty crap too. Their current captain is Ryan Nelsen, the Blackburn Rovers captain, who is known for his rugged, no-nonsense style of play. This may look quite good, an All White in the top flight in England, however it should be pointed out that Sam Allardyce is probably the most anti-football person ever and that anybody can play for Blackburn Rovers, provided they are over six feet tall, built like a brickhouse, can kick the ball 200 yards in the air and are able to shout and dispute every single refereeing decision, even in cases as indefensible as the Benjamin Massing tackle. Other squad members include Kris Bright, who is unable to even get on the bench at Shrewsbury Town. New Zealand is an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, on Earth.It used to be a country in its own right before being invaded by the Great Martian Empire in 2454 AD.In 8402 AD it became part of the Earth Greater Empire.The Capital is azxy Bayjkilrudburtumr,named after Bayjkilrudburtumr, the capital of the GME. New Zealand is an Island State in the Pacific Ocean. Wallace Harbour was a fictional settlement on Stewart Island/Rakiura, the third-largest island of New Zealand. It lies 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the South Island, across Foveaux Strait. New Zealand, a South Pacific country of about 4.5 million people, is occasionally mentioned in the script of "Coronation Street". A handy place to send characters so that viewers don't expect to see them again, or to dredge up "long-lost" relatives without having to explain why they have not been mentioned before. It has also produced the occasional actor or other production worker. New Zealand has the southernmost inhabited mainland of any Pacific Ocean country and the 6th-largest EEZ in the world (4,083,744 km²; behind Japan and ahead of United Kingdom). New Zealand is one of the nine regions originally launched in SSX. It consists of three peaks. New Zealand is the southernmost country in the Pacific Ocean. It has one of the world's highest rates of internet access, and features as a couple of squares on the map in some scenarios of Civilization II. Sheep farming, and the export of wool, is traditionally one of New Zealand's largest industries, but it has declined in recent decades. The kiwi is indigenous to New Zealand and is the national bird, while kiwi fruit are also native. The country is also home to many marine mammals, including whales, and a wide variety of fish. Boomerang fish are not among them, despite the fact that Lew Zealand was named after the country. Aotearoa New Zealand is a British Commonwealth country of four million people in the South Pacific Ocean originally inhabited by the Maori. It has been producing films almost as long as any other country has, with the occasional Oscar win, culminating in the record-equaling eleven Oscars awarded to Peter Jackson's third film in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. All of each of the three films in the trilogy was shot in New Zealand, with most of the cast being New Zealanders. Its three official languages are English, sign language, and Maori. Peter grew up and remains based in the region around the capital city, Wellington, which provided a number of locations for the trilogy, and his associated Weta Workshop (in eastern suburb Miramar) produced many of the props and effects and did much of the post-production. The effects company then turned their attention to a live-action movie version of King Kong, also directed by Peter Jackson. Before The Hobbit (films) and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the country was considered to be an amateur in film. But no longer with the release of the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King it became one of the only three movies in the world to win a total of eleven Academy Awards (Oscars). Now different crew members live in New Zealand because they loved the landscape and decided to stay. It has an area of 268,680 km2. Before Europeans arrived in the late eighteenth century, it was predominated by the Maori, who arrived from Pacific Islands in the eleventh century. Its two main cities are Auckland and Wellington, which are both coastal cities. Its national animal and one of its biggest national icons is the Kiwi. The popular sports include rugby and softball- football and cricket are more secondary sports. Elizabeth II, as the Queen of New Zealand, is the country's head of state and is represented by a ceremonial Governor-General who holds reserve powers. The Queen has no real political influence, and her position is essentially symbolic. Political power is held by the democratically elected Parliament of New Zealand under the leadership of the Prime Minister, who is the head of the government. The population of New Zealand is mostly of European descent; the original Māori people are the largest minority. Asians and non-Māori Polynesians are also significant minority groups, especially in urban areas. The most commonly spoken language is English. New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation: it is situated about 2000 km (1250 miles) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea, and its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. During its long isolation New Zealand developed a distinctive fauna dominated by birds (there are, in fact, only two native mammals in New Zealand), a few of which (including the Moa and the enormous Haast Eagle) became extinct after the arrival of humans and the mammals they introduced. It punches well above its weight in matters such as Nobel prizewinners, internet use, primary produce, movies, golf, America's Cup, mountaineering, ice-cream-eating (not much of a chore when you produce the world's best), and peace-keeping missions. Cities include Auckland (Polynesia's biggest city), Dunedin, Lower Hutt, Manukau, Porirua, and Wellington. New Zealand is an island nation in the South Pacific. It was the site where filming of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess took place. When Kevin Sorbo failed to show up in New Zealand following a California earthquake, the locals on Hercules turned on producer Eric Gruendemann. (HTLJ: "Yes, Virginia, There is a Hercules") New Zealand is an Island in the South Pacific. Rugby is the most popular sport in New Zealand and there are teams at all levels of the game. The National team is the All Blacks. They got this name as a commentator in a Newspaper commented that they played like the team were all Backs but a typo changed it to "All Blacks". Before matches the All Blacks perform the Haka a performance meant to intimidate the opposition and stir up the players. − {{Nation infobox + − |name = New Zealand − |id = 550577 − |flag = New_Zealand.png − |flagsize = − |flag_type = National flag − |image_symbol = − |symbol_type = − |symbol_width = − |motto = "Advance New Zealand onward" − |anthem = God Save the Queen, − |image_map = − |mapsize = − |capital = Wellington − |languages = English − |demonym = Kiwi, New Zealander − |formationdate = 4/4/2014 − |formationtime = 11:45:57 − |deleted = 4/4/2009 − |government = Republic − |image_ruler = − |ruler_width = − |ruler = PolarBear69 − |allianceflag = Custom90.png − |alliance = North Atlantic Treaty Organization − |forumurl = − |seniority = 5/8/2014 − |team = Blue − |teamseniority = 5/8/2014 − |statisticsdate = 12/7/1941 − |totalpop = 21,603 − |civilians = 14,532 − |soldiers = 6,924 − |soldiereff = 13,326 − |density = 33.59 − |litrate = 69 − |religion = Tsaykaism − |casualties = 15,368 − |attacking = 13,907 − |defending = 1,461 − |casualtyrank = 5,215 − |currency = Pound − |infra = 1969.02 − |tech = 35 − |nationstrength = 69 − |rank = 5,215 − |alliancerank = 116 − |alliancecount = 183 − |efficiency = 71.50 − |landarea = 643.187 − |space = − |environment = 69 − |envnum = 7.78 − |defcon = 69 − |mode = War − |modedate = 4/21/2014 − |state = War − |nuke = No − |number = 69 − |nativeresources = File:Aluminum.GIF File:Wheat.GIF − |slots = 5 − |connectedresources = File:Oil.GIF File:Water.GIF File:Lead.GIF File:Uranium.GIF File:Lumber.GIF File:Iron.GIF File:Gold.GIF File:Marble.GIF File:Rubber.GIF File:Coal.GIF − |bonusresources = Bonus resources gained through trade, e.g. File:Beer.GIF File:Radiation.GIF File:Microchips.GIF File:Asphalt.GIF File:Steel.GIF File:Automobile.GIF File:Construction.GIF − L O D S OF E M O N E − What's that spell?

Go has been played in New Zealand for many decades, though the first organization was probably in the 1970s. New Zealand has been mentioned in one of the books as one of the places Fiske Cahill lived when disappeared. New Zealand was also one of the places in which they thought that the Lizard that Nellie held up to the screen while being held hostage by the Vespers, had a chance to be from New Zealand. New Zealand joined Australia, France, India, and Great Britain in declaring war on Germany at 2130 hours on 3 September 1939. Politically, New Zealand had been a vocal opponent of European fascism, and also the appeasement of those dictatorships, meaning national sentiment for a strong show of force was generally supported. New Zealand contributed forces in the Crete, North African, Italian and Pacific theatres. Economic and defensive considerations also motivated the New Zealand involvement; reliance on Britain meant that if she were threatened, New Zealand would be too, in terms of economic and defensive ties.There was a very strong sentimental link between the former British colony and the United Kingdom, with many seeing Britain as the "mother country" or "Home". The New Zealand Prime Minister of the time Michael Joseph Savage summed this up at the outbreak of war with a quote broadcasted over the radio that would become a popular cry in New Zealand during the war: "It is with gratitude in the past, and with confidence in the future, that we range ourselves without fear beside Britain, where she goes, we go! Where she stands, we stand!" New Zealand made a deal with the United States of America to have US troops stationed there temporarily in exchange for leaving New Zealand's troops fighting abroad in North Africa and later, Italy. New Zealand's strong economic placing led it to supply much needed food supplies to Britain during and after the war. The New Zealand government placed the Royal New Zealand Navy at the British Admiralty's disposal in addition to donating 30 new Wellington medium bombers to the RAF. New Zealand provided personnel for service in the Royal Air Force and in the Royal Navy. New Zealand was prepared to have New Zealanders serving under British command. RNZAF pilots, many trained in the Empire Air Training Scheme, were sent to Europe. But unlike the other Dominions, New Zealand did not insist on its aircrews serving with RNZAF squadrons, so speeding up the rate at which they entered service. One of the earliest engagements by New Zealand forces was New Zealand naval cruisers chasing the German Pocket Pattleship Graf Spee to the neutral port of Montevideo in the Battle of the River Plate. New Zealand, current population about 4.2 million, was among the earliest members of the United Nations. It has been prominent in moves to protect the Earth, including having a Cabinet Minister sailing on a ship into the French nuclear testing zone in protest against the testing. The French Government later sent to New Zealand a team of spies, who fatally blew up a Greenpeace ship in Auckland. It is proud of its "clean, green" image but most New Zealanders concede that it's not perfect. New Zealand is a country in the Pacific with several productive fossil sites. Birds such as the Moa lived there. Some species too became extinct from human contact. Image:Mantell's Iguanodon restoration.jpg This article is a . You can help My English Wiki by expanding it.

They are currently ranked 39th in the IIHF World Rankings and currently compete in IIHF World Championship Division III. Ice hockey has been played in New Zealand for almost 70 years. The first organised ice hockey tournament was played at Opawa, near Albury in South Canterbury in 1937. [2]The New Zealand Ice Skating Association was founded in 1937 and ice hockey formed a part of it. New Zealand became a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation in 1977. The National Ice Hockey Federation was formed in 1986. New Zealand is an island nation that's home to the filming of the movie versions of The Lord of the Rings, filmed by Peter Jackson across New Zealand and edited in Wellington; and The Chronicles of Narnia, filmed primarily in New Zealand by Shrek director Andrew Adamson. Those bitter at the Kiwis for their hand in helping the spread of LotR and Narnia badfic can rest assured that, according to H.P. Lovecraft, the home of Cthulhu, R'lyeh, is located not far from New Zealand, so this particular small island nation will probably be first to be destroyed if he wakes up. This should not be wished on New Zealand, as several PPCers and sympathizers of the Canon Protection Initiative live there, and the PPC and canon need all the help they can get. Natalya: "I know it's there. It's a duplicate of Severnaya, like your secret transmitters in New Zealand." Wade: "I've never been to New Zealand.

New Zealand has been visited by Mary Walker, as she says that the big trout, "two pounds if he's an ounce", that Roger and Titty catch at Swallowdale is "the biggest trout she had ever seen in England, though she had seen much bigger in Australia and New Zealand" (SD15). By early June, 11 cases had been confirmed. All had recovered and had not had a serious illness.

New Zealand is a country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two large islands (the North Island and the South Island) and numerous smaller islands, most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands. In Māori, New Zealand has come to be known as Aotearoa, which is usually translated into English as The Land of the Long White Cloud. The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue, which are self-governing, but in free association; Tokelau; and the Ross Dependency (New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica). New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation, being separated from Australia to the northwest by the Tasman Sea, approximately 2000 kilometres (1250 miles) across. Its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The population is mostly of European descent, with the indigenous Māori being the largest minority. Non-Māori Polynesian and Asian people are also significant minorities, especially in the cities. Elizabeth II, as the Queen of New Zealand, is the Head of State and is represented, in her absence, by a non-partisan Governor-General; the Queen 'reigns but does not rule', so she has no real political influence. Political power is held by the democratically-elected Parliament of New Zealand under the leadership of the Prime Minister who is the Head of Government. The native inhabitants of New Zealand were known as the Māori. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I") New Zealand was covered by rain forests similar to the forests found on the planet Dakala. (ENT: "Rogue Planet") New Zealand's largest mountain, Mount Cook, was located near the west coast of New Zealand's South Island, adjacent to the city of Christchurch, which was located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I") During the 24th century, New Zealand was the site of the prestigious Pennington School, that was located in Wellington. (DS9: "Explorers", "The Visitor", "The Muse") In 2364, the Federation was in diplomatic negations with the New Zealand government. (TNG: "Conspiracy" , okudagram) It was also the location of the Federation's minimum security New Zealand Penal Settlement. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Non Sequitur"; DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume") The 22nd century starship, HMS New Zealand, was named for New Zealand. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder" ) The 24th century starship, USS Wellington, was named after the former capital of the islands. (TNG: "11001001" ) In Star Trek: First Contact when Picard opens the airlock (with force field) to show Lily Earth, New Zealand is missing. This is in fact a common occurrence on globes and world maps. [1] [2] New Zealand does appear on the world map Picard uses to select Gravett Island for evacuation. Ron D. Moore once joked that the only criminals left on the otherwise supposedly crime-free Earth were in New Zealand, hence why it hosted New Zealand Penal Settlement was placed there.(AOL chat, 1997 ) The flag of New Zealand is a defaced Blue Ensign with the Union Jack in the canton, and four red stars with white borders in the fly. The stars represent the constellation of Crux, the Southern Cross. New Zealand has never appeared on Doctor Who, but it did get mentioned a couple times, like when the Tenth Doctor said it was more beautiful than London. But in the real world, New Zealand, like both Australia and Canada, come to think of it, is one of those places where classic Doctor Who was unaccountably popular. In fact, they were the first country to buy the show from BBC Worldwide. But New Zealand's main importance in the universe is that they can get away with publishing almost anything—not because their copyright laws are lax, just because the BBC isn't going to bother checking on how its intellectual property is being used in a land of 13 people. So, the NZ DW Fan Club has published: * Unofficial novelisations of all the Douglas Adams and Dalek stories that Target couldn't get the rights to. * Unofficial reprints of out-of-print Virgin novels like Who Killed Kennedy. * Unofficial rejected Virgin and BBC novels like Campaign. * Unofficial expanded version of The Discontinuity Guide to include newer stuff like Big Finish audios. * Plus a fanzine and a fan fiction magazine and some other stuff. And most of it's available for free on their website, and the rest on a place that only looks like a 90s-era website devoted to Mel fandom because it is a 90s-era website devoted to Mel fandom. (Apparently Kiwis just keep things going if they're useful, even if they're not new and cool anymore.) Mean as, eh? Yeah nah bro, hardout ow! Faaaaaa! Shot!

New Zealand is a pacific ocean and country in Oceania (near Australia) that is made up of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, and many small islands. Its national flag features the British Union Jack and four red stars on a blue background. The national bird is the kiwi and the national plant is the fern.

Is Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park national park Paparoa National Park national park New Zealand is an island country near Australia and a member of the United Nations. New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation, being separated from Australia to the northwest by the Tasman Sea, approximately 2000 kilometres (1250 miles) across. Its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. The population is mostly of European descent, with the indigenous Māori being the largest minority. Non-Māori Polynesian and Asian people are also significant minorities, especially in the cities. Elizabeth II, as the Queen of New Zealand, is the Head of State and, in her absence, is represented by a non-partisan Governor-General. The Queen 'reigns but does not rule.' She has no real political influence, and her position is largely symbolic. Political power is held by the democratically-elected Parliament of New Zealand under the leadership of the Prime Minister, who is the Head of Government. The situation regarding English language teaching in New Zealand is pretty similar to Australia and not so different from the UK in many respects. As in those countries, there is a private language school sector in addition to state provision through various ESOL programmes. Like Australia, private language schools in New Zealand are regulated by a government agency (NZQA). The main focus of the government regulation is to ensure schools are honouring the Code for Pastoral Care of International Students. New Zealand is an island nation in Oceania east of Australia. Its current population is 4 million, and has only began urbanizing in the last 140 years. Almost a thousand years of occupation by Polynesians had produced numerous villages, many plantations, and a few fortifications, but urban development started only after active settlement by Europeans, the first of whom (Dutch) saw a little of the country in 1642 and went away leaving a gap until 1769 when Captain James Cook did a serious amount of mapping all around and encouraged other Brits to take an interest. In 1947 it gained it's independence and was officially recognized as a nation. Now the country has the largest Polynesian city in the world: Auckland. (Well, it's not full of people of Polynesian origin.) It's capital is Wellington. This article, "New Zealand", is a .

(This area is sometimes referred to as Oceania or Australasia.) Things originating from New Zealand are described as New Zealander. People from New Zealand are named New Zealander or New Zealandic or affectionately nicknamed "Kiwis". New Zealand is also called Aotearoa, for which Aotearoa class is named. Christchurch is the largest city on the South Island, one of New Zealand's main islands, while Wellington is the capital, located at the southern end of the North Island. Auckland is its most populous city, also located on the North Island. Starfleet captains Thekla Lawless and Noah Wrightson were born and raised in New Zealand in the 23rd and 24th centuries respectively. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One", "The Fire In Which We Burn") In the 24th century, New Zealand was the location of a Federation penal settlement, near Auckland. (VOY: "Caretaker"; Pathways; Star Trek: Pendragon) Both manuka and pōhutukawa are plants native to New Zealand. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One") New Zealand is an Oceanian island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland. A member of the Commonwealth of Nations, it has friendly relations with Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and several countries; and is also currently a major-non NATO ally of the United States of America. New Zealand is a country of two large islands (called the North and South Islands) and many much smaller islands in the south-western Pacific Ocean. New Zealand is called Aotearoa in Māori, and is directly translated as the Land of the Long White Cloud. It is notable for its geographic isolation, being separated from Australia to the northwest by the Tasman Sea, some 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles) across. Closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. The population of New Zealand is mostly of European descent, with Māori being the largest minority. Non-Māori Polynesian and Asian peoples are also significant minorities, especially in the cities. Elizabeth II is the Queen of New Zealand and is represented in the country by a non-political Governor-General; the Queen 'reigns but does not rule', so she has no real political influence. Political power is held by the Prime Minister, who is leader of the Government in the democratically-elected Parliament of New Zealand. The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue, which are entirely self-governing, Tokelau, and the Ross Dependency, New Zealand's claim in Antarctica.
