NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is an island country in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. The country is situated on two main islands - the North Island and the South Island – and several dozen smaller islands. Most of the smaller islands are hundreds of kilometers from the main ones. The population of New Zealand is about 3,910,000.

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and Auckland is the largest city. English is the official language of New Zealand and is spoken throughout the country. Many native people speak their own language, Maori, in addition to English.

The country once belonged to the British Empire. Today it is an independent member of the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of Britain and a number of its former colonies. New Zealand's currency is New Zealand dollar.

New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy. The British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, is the monarch of New Zealand. She appoints a governor general to represent her, but the governor general has little power. The legislation, prime minister, and Cabinet run the national go­vernment. Britain gave New Zealand a constitution in 1852, when it was a British colony. But through the years the New Zealand legislature has changed almost all its provisions. Today, the nation has no written constitution.

New Zealand has one of the highest standards of living in the world. The government's medical program provides excellent health care. About 70 % of New Zealand people own their houses. Almost every family has a car. Most New Zealanders live in single-family houses with small vegetable gardens. In the larger cities, some people live in high-rise apartment buildings.

For many years, the economy of the country depen­ded largely on agriculture. Today agriculture, manufacturing, and service industries are all important to the economy. New Zealand’s economy depends on trade with many countries - Australia, Britain, Japan and the United States.
