NZ isn't a real country.
It's more like a state of Australia that isn't recognised.
When someone says they are from NZ I don't think of them as foreign like someone from Europe, the UK or America... I think of them more like someone who moved here from out of state.
NZ isn't a proper country.
only because they are the closest anglo country with very similar origin
we consider canadians more separate than australia to new zealand which are thousands of miles apart
New Zealand is the last country of the world
