New Zealand is an island country in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It lies about 1600 km southeast of Australia and about 10 500 km southwest of California. The country is situated on two main islands — the North Island and the South Island — and several dozens of smaller islands. The two main islands are separated by the Cook Strait, 22 kilometers wide at its narrowest point. Most of the smaller islands are hundreds of kilometers from the main ones.

New Zealand has a mild and temperate maritime climate with mean annual temperatures about 10 °C in the south and 16 °C in the north. New Zealand's geographic isolation for 80 million years and island biogeography are responsible for the country's unique species of animals and plants.

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and Auckland is the largest city. English is the official language of New Zealand throughout the country. Many native people speak their own language, Maori, in addition to English.

The country once belonged to the British Empire. Today it is an independent member of the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of Britain and a number of its former colonies.

New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy. The British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, is the monarch of New Zealand. She appoints a governor general to represent her, but the governor general has little power. Prime minister and Cabinet run the national government.

New Zealand has one of the highest standards of living in the world. For many years, the economy of the country depended largely on agriculture. Today agriculture, manufacturing, and service industries are all important to the economy.
