New Zealand consists of two huge islands: the North Island and the South Island. It is located about 900 miles (1,500 kilometers) southeast of Australia and has a rich cultural past. The Māori were the first people to occupy New Zealand and still have a strong presence in current society. The British later colonized New Zealand, which became part of the British Empire. While the Queen of Great Britain remains the official head of state, the New Zealand Prime Minister and Parliament wield real political power.
New Zealand has a moderate climate, which means mild weather without excessive heat or cold. The country is highly developed and consistently ranks well on international league tables; for example, it is now ranked third in the Index of Economic Freedom.
Agriculture is crucial to New Zealand's economy, particularly dairy farming and sheep rearing. Agricultural exports remain an important part of the economy.
Tourism has also increased tremendously over the years, with the film series The Lord of the Rings boosting its appeal and highlighting the country's breathtaking vistas.
