New Zealand
New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is a semi-colonial state in the South Pacific.
It's territory comprises of two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600
smaller islands, covering a total area of 268,021 square kilometres (103,500 sq mi). Its capital city is Wellington and its main economic hub is Auckland.
As of 2019 the country has a multi-ethnic composition, albeit largely White Settler population of 5,084,300 people (June 2020), and a developed and first world, but undiversified economy with an annual GDP of 135 billion USD (2019).
It is a member of the Imperial British Commonwealth, but has been functionally independent, and therefore possessing it's own robust Bourgeoisie since the 25th of November 1947.
The country has its origins in the ill-worded annexation of the country with the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.
The country is currently administered by a Social-Democratic government headed by a coalition of the NZ Labour party and the Green party NZ under Jacinda Ardern and Grant Robertson.
