New Zealand is an island country in the southwest Pacific Ocean, which consists of two main landmasses (usually called North Island and South Island) and many smaller islands, the most famous of which are Stewart Island/La Kiura Island and chatham islands. The indigenous Maori name of New Zealand is Aotearoa, which is usually translated as the land of long white clouds. The Kingdom of New Zealand also includes Cook Islands and Niue (autonomous but free association); Tokelau; And ross dependency (New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica).

New Zealand is famous for its geographical isolation: it lies about 2000 kilometers (1250 miles) southeast of Australia, across tasman sea, and its nearest neighbors in the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. During the long period of isolation, New Zealand has formed a unique fauna dominated by birds, some of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and their introduced mammals.

Most people in New Zealand are of European descent; The indigenous Maori are the largest minority. Asians and non-Maori Polynesians are also important minorities, especially in urban areas. The most commonly used language is English.

New Zealand is a developed country, ranking very high in international comparison in human development, quality of life, life expectancy, literacy rate, public education, peace, prosperity, economic freedom, business convenience, no corruption, freedom of the press and protection of civil liberties and political rights. Its cities have always been among the most livable cities in the world.

As the queen of New Zealand, Elizabeth II is the head of state of the country, represented by a ceremonial governor with reserved powers. The queen has no real political influence, and her status is basically symbolic. The political power is held by the democratically elected New Zealand Parliament under the leadership of the Prime Minister, who is the head of government.
