New Zealandball

"Oi mate, I think we landed on the wrong beach"

- New Zealand, moments, before getting shot at Gallipoli

New Zealandball is a countryball southeast of Australiaball. He is the son and former colony of UKball and the brother of  Australiaball,  Canadaball, and  USAball. He has a pet kiwi and is known for the Lord of the Rings films and being the Adventure Capital of the World, he has 3 children, Niue, Tokelau, and the Cook Islands. Even though New Zealand is known for being a peaceful, caring nation, he used to be can be a fierce warrior and a sheep shagger. He often gets mixed up with Australiaball. Other countryballs, especially stupid America, often confuse him with Aussie. That's why be planned to change his flag but people preferred the original flag.

New Zealandball official language is Sign language, also being the only ball to have this. Because of this he is one of the only balls who can interact with Antarcticaball, the others being  Norwayball,  Greenlandball,  Germanyball,  Georgiaball,  Falklandsball, and  Icelandball.

Recently, He Chose Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern As His New Prime Minister 1 Month After The Elections, At 37 Years, She Will Become The Countries Youngest Leader Ever In 150 Years. She Will Replace Now Former Prime Minster Bill English.

He used to be part of a sunken continent named Zealandia, which had split from Australiaball 80 million years ago but is blub 20 million years ago so New Zealand is now much smaller. He harbors the Taupo supervolcano that can kill Earthball if it erupts.

Pre Colonization
Some time in the 12th century, the Maori, the first inhabitants of New Zealandball, lived on a series of small islands called Polynesiaball after sailing from Asia. Unfortunately, they began to run low on food supplies and set sail in search of new land and space to expand, and after months of sailing they landed on what was the coast of New Zealand. They decided to settle down on this land for what they looked like a big cloud. They thought it was a good omen, so they eventually settled down there, and took care of its natural beauty and resources. They collected fruit, fishing, and hunting large birds. Later on, they started to grow vegetables. But eventually as exploration of this new land instead of sea became too enticing for the once sea-faring people; Maori engaged into constant tribal warfare and became very warlike, like their old ways. Fighting over land and regions. Taking prisoners as slaves from enemy tribes, or "Iwi". They prayed to their dead ancestors, since they thought some of them are sacred. These sacred people are called "tapu", or taboo. Consuming the flesh of their enemies was considered as gaining their "Mana".

European arrival
In 1642, Netherlandsball was sailing across the Pacific Ocean, when he sighted land, but before he came ashore he was attacked by  Maoriball and quickly left after finding four of his crewmen strewn in pieces on the coastline, being eaten. In 1769 Englandball landed on shore and made peaceful contact with  Maoriball, and after the  French arrived. New Zealand's had rich resources, so he sold wood for ships and garden produce in trade for muskets which unfortunately broke out in many musket wars between Maori tribes.

Colonization
In the 18th century, UKball was getting quite worried about the land he had taken from the Maori and the fear  Franceball might annex New Zealand, so in 1840 he got  Maoriball to sign the Treaty of Waitangi which gave him full control of New Zealand and also made it compulsory for New Zealand to fight alongside  UKball. New Zealandball was born. He then proved to UKball his loyalty to him by helping him fight South Africa in the Boer war, and  UKball was very impressed with how well he was fighting. NZ did feel good for helping his dad but was heartbroken over the fact that the UK made him burn the South African villages and farms, he then became an independent dominion in 1907.

World War I
As soon as Britain declared war on  German Empireball, New Zealandball found himself fighting in Europe. In 1915 New Zealandball teamed with his brother Australiaball to form the ANZACS, and went to war against  Ottoman Empireball. Unfortunately on the day of the attack he landed on the wrong beach and was shot.

The 1920s, Great Depression, And First Labour Goverment
After World War One, New Zealandball signed the Treaty of Versilles and joined the League Of Nations, and made ANZAC day a National Holiday. And things for fine for him until the Wall Street Crash in USAball in 1929, and like most, New Zealandballs economy was going down to shits, and a huge earthquake in Hawkes Bay in 1931, now the people of New Zealand, had enough of the Depression, and in 1935, the First Labour Goverment under this guy wins the elections. Now New Zealand's economy was much better than it was. And would celebrate their 100th anniversary in 1940, but then on 1939, The United Kingdomball declared war on  Nazi Germanyball starting WW2, so New Zealand, along with  Australiaball, also went to war against  Nazi Germany.

The Second World War, And Full Independence
During New Zealand and Australia's war against the Nazis And Italians in North Africa and Crete, USAball offered New Zealand a deal. Let his soldiers crash in his clay in return for protection against Japan. (Who was already getting close and New Zealand declaring war on him) New Zealand accepted the offer. New Zealandball and the United States became great friends because of this. After the war, New Zealand also accepted many jews and  poles here as refuge. They also become fully independent in 1947. Then in 1949, the first National Government is elected.

The 1950s, Nuclear Testing, And Vietnam
New Zealandball hosts the 1950 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, sent troops to the Korean War in  South Korea's side, and sent Soldiers to help Malaysia against the communists, and in 53, a train wreck, and the new queen of  England visits New Zealand plus one of his biggest achievements, was being the first to climb the top of Mt Everest with  Nepalrawr.

Friends/Mates
New Zealand is a multi-cultural country (mainly consisting of Anglos-Celtics, Maori, other islanders and recently some Chinese), so unless you piss me off, you're a friend. But here are some of my best mates.
 * Anglos - The Anglo countryballs are muh mates.
 * [[File:UK-icon.png]] UKball - Best father EVER!! I share some cultural history with him, but I now have a unique cultural identity and accent. Also, the bloody Pom who can't play rugby to save his life. However he loves me for keeping my Union Jack, and my loyalty to him. And, by the way, DAD YOURE NOT SEEING DOUBLE, WE'RE TWO SEPERATE SONS OF YOURS! Right, Aussie?
 * [[File:Australia-icon.png]] Australiaball - My more famous twin brother that everyone mistakes me as. We have a sibling rivalry, and also fought together as the Anzac's in World War 1. Stop stealing my dishes and celebrities you unoriginal c***! Bowls like a bloody idiot, I WILL NEVER FORGET 1981. Still love you dearly, though <3. By the way, I have more friends than you! Get rekt! Ya wanker.
 * [[File:Canada-icon.png]] Canadaball - We both say 'eh', but Canadaball is more stereotyped for it. We are both overshadowed by our siblings, and we both share being equally nice! Except for when I'm drunk. Then we as good as gold!
 * [[File:USA-icon.png]] USAball - The shining star of the siblings. I had a good trade with USA, After I Let his Solders crash into my Country During The Second World War but after I refused to let him park his nuclear ships in my waters, he hasn't been talking to me that much. So you have some refugees, eh? Well, I will welcome them. Do they know I am home to Lord of the Rings? If you don't like how it is in America, move in to Middle Earth me! But he annoys me a lot as he doesn't realise that I'm not Australia.
 * [[File:Maori-icon.png]] Maoriball - I maintain a peaceful relationship with my native inhabitants. This is probably why he is irrelevant, aside from his geographic location. 7% of New Zealandball speaks Maori as a native language, while 90% speak English.

Stereotypes

 * One stereotype of New Zealand is that it doesn't exist. New Zealand is a country that is routinely distorted on maps, often being situated on one certain corner, or occasionally not situated anywhere at all.
 * One stereotype is that New Zealand is 'where men are men, and so are the women'. For being masculine.
 * Another is that New Zealand speaks a strange language (well their accent does sound unusual).
 * New Zealand is stereotyped for being the best in the world at rugby. And why wouldn't we be? We won the world cup three times!
 * Lord of the Rings. Enough said.
 * New Zealand is also known for being the reason that the small islands are not being annexed, in fact New Zealand pretty much decide whether they live or die, as he is one of the countries that actually give a crap about them.
 * BUSH RECEPTION. Even internet.
 * Auckland Vs. Rest of New Zealand. Aucklanders are seen as rich snobs or immigrants. The rest of NZ are thought of as Farmers, Bush people or Bogans.
 * Ride a lot of Motorcycles and old cars. Especially Toyota utes and Holdens.
