 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The country has been developed as a new world under early British capitalist initiatives and government ordinations since the 1840's ( exports of raw good to Britain for British economy ). It has also been a social experiment vis a vis colonial decisions concerning accommodations with indigenous peoples ( tangatawhenua - see Treaty of Waitangi and settlements through to the 21st Century ) **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">the society is premised upon a Democracy. Formative features include: the right to vote, the right to free speech, education, health and housing for all.
