15 reasons why New Zealand is the best country in the world

New Zealand is one of those countries you rarely hear a bad word spoken about.

Sometimes regarded as not only being one of the most beautiful countries in the world, it is also a very liveable country that offers a high quality of life.

#Geography #NZ #NewZealand

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island and the South Island —and over 700 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island country, covering a total area of around 270,000KM.

“Out of the 99,300 non-New Zealanders that arrived here last year, 28,000 left and 71,000 stayed. New Zealand population statistics manager Peter Dolan said the cooling in net migration last year was a result of the increase in those leaving the country after migrating here in the past.
