NEW ZEALAND - LoveToKnow Article on NEW ZEALAND   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) The physical geography of New Zealand is closely connected with its geological structure, and is dominated by two intersecting lines of mountains and earth movements. The healthiness of the New Zealand climate in all parts is attested by the death-rate, which, varying (1896-1906) from o to 10-50 per iooo, is the lightest in the world.

New New Zealand The more bookish Old New Zealanders, who went to England or America for study, found themselves accepted fairly painlessly into the world of learning, where, after only a few years, some of them were able to pass as civilized, even in mixed company. New Zealand appeared too remote to be a convenient venue for anything; too prosperous credibly to represent the poor; and obviously much too white and Anglo-Saxon to understand the rest of mankind. New Zealand remains a "laboratory," but by far the most diverting experiment to be seen today is the spectacle of the ruling Labor party's Finance Minister, Roger Douglas, deregulating everything in sight. www.culturecult.com /general/newzealand.htm   (3540 words)
