NEW ZEALAND
1. New Zealand is a democratic country with its own parliament. However, it is part of the British Commonwealth, and therefore the official head of state is Elizabeth II, the queen of England, Scotland and Wales. New Zealand was the first country in the world to give the vote to women in 1893, to have old age pensions and the eight-hour working day.
2.New Zealand, in the South Pacific, consists of two large islands plus other smaller islands with an area of 270,000 sq. km.

In the South Island there are the southern Alps with Mount Cook (3754 m.), the highest mountain in New Zealand.
3.New Zealand has some industry but agriculture is more important - there are 55 million sheep, 8 million cows and 1 million goats in New Zealand!
4.New Zealand was cut off from the rest of the land on Earth for 80 million years and has some unique animals and plants. The tuatara is a reptile that has survived from the era of the dinosaurs. The wets is the largest and heaviest insect in the world and the kiwi (the symbol of New Zealand) is a large bird which cannot fly.
5.Over 80% of the 3.6 million people are of European (mainly British) origin. Around 9% of the population are Maoris – who came to New Zealand from Polynesia in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The two official languages in the country are English and Maori.
