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.

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 \u2018All Whites\u2019 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\u2019s 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 \u2018plucky\u2019 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\u2019s penalty box for 86 of the 90 minutes. However the Kiwis will always be labeled as having \u2018heart\u2019 and being \u2018underdogs.\u2019 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 \u2018Soccer\u2019 will disappear overnight, as the supporters who backed them will revert back to rugby and claim \u2018soccer is for fags.\u2019 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\u2019s 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.

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.

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.
