New Zealand

Pacific archipelago nation, geographically isolated enough to probably survive global nuclear war. Struggling with its own identity, short of universal agreement that it's not "Aussie".

Natives prone to high-pitched understatement. National pastimes include drinking, shoving, and rugby. Won world cup 2011 (tm) to avoid 18th century style public executions of players and coaching staff. Makes funny films the rest of the world doesn't understand. Annual exchange programme sees half the population travel to Australia, to be replaced by British and Irish backpackers with no money but a passion for non-roadworthy 2nd hand cars. Still recovering from Lord of the Rings.
