New Zealand is a little country in the South Pacific. It had a woman who claims to be an agnostic as a Prime Minister (however as a liberal, possibly communist, woman she is more than likely an atheist who is bad at mathematics). She would like this site, especially all the Christianity articles. Now the power has shifted to the right and the National party holds parliament. Although it should be noted that the "right wing" in New Zealand are still considered "flaming liberals" in the United States.

Lord of The Rings was filmed in New Zealand; it's also the home of bungie jumping.

For many years New Zealand was regarded as a social laboratory, resulting in an extremely progressive governmental structure. New Zealand has no written constitution, meaning that elected politicians who are (vaguely) accountable to the people decide on the laws, not politically appointed and unaccountable old judges.

New Zealand's national religion is Rugby Union, and the national team, the All Blacks, have a curious ability to win every game in the four years in between world cups and then choke at the main event. The curse of the All Blacks will probably never be lifted.

New Zealand is also home to Brian Tamaki, a televangelist who promoted himself to the rank of bishop, but has not moved diagonally since.

Graham Capill, founder of the Christian Heritage political party, currently serving time for the rape of a twelve year old girl, also hails from New Zealand, demonstrating that amazing religious hypocrisy is a worldwide phenomenon.

New Zealand also takes part in many seditious liberal activities such as the Kyoto Protocol, the UN, and peace-keeping efforts, and did not participate in the totally awesome bad-ass Iraq War. It also has strict gun control and almost non-existent gun crime. Go figure eh?
