New Zealand is a country for the rich and wealthy first. What is presented is false. The welfare state is residual and under almost constant attack from right wingers. There is a pervasive feel of self-interest and greed im NZ. A smug self satisfaction is evident. Many of the wealthy live in elite suburbs, for instance, in Christchurch, Merivale or Fendalton. New Zealand has no written constitution.

New Zealand has no written constitution. The most important statutory rights are found in the unentrenched New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. These so-called rights have been overridden many times by various NZ Parliaments. As such, some have referred to NZ an a 'elective dictatorship'or "thin" democracy. It certainly lacks the rights of Canada. Canada having the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. New Zealand is a great nation 'if' you are rich, if not, watch out

While standing behind a waterfall, positioning one's erect phallus to where it is visible on the other side of a waterfall.
"Have you ever stood behind a waterfall and stuck your dick through it?" ... "It's a little thing I like to call New Zealand" (Avidan, Leigh Daniel, "Sonic Adventure DX: Monkey Business - PART 4 - Game Grumps." YouTube, co-host Arin Hanson, Jul 22, 2015)

The free trial version of Australia, with the only threat being drunk bogans, the occasional flood and earthquakes. Pretty good views, I suppose. It's the same as Canada is to America: The politer, more boring version.
Guy 1: Yo, have you heard about New Zealand? I've always wanted to visit!
Guy 2: Dude, isn't their population like, 5 sheep for every person?

A beautiful country in the South Pacific, approximately 2200kms South-east of the East coast of Australia. Population: 4 million (as of April 28th, 2003).
Advantages: Strong democracy under a proportional voting system; it's not Australia; moderate climate - neither too hot, nor too cold. Beautiful young women and handsome blokes in abundance: healthy indoors / outdoors lifestyle year-round.
Disadvantages: Only 2200kms from Australia.

Because of this, a lot of jealous Aussie bastards have claimed 'ownership' of true-blue Kiwi icons, such as Uncle Pete and the Pav.
