My very first fun fact about New Zealand is that, Gisborne is the first city in the world to be exposed by the sun. Gisborne is only 496.3 kilometres away  from the sun, The reason why I chose this as my first verse is because, there are only 4416 cities and 195 countries in the world and out of all the countries and cities in the world, the sun is first exposed to Gisborne, New Zealand that's amazing!

In 1645, Dutch cartographers renamed the land Nova Zeelandia after the Dutch province of Zeeland. British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicised the name to New Zealand. Aotearoa translated as "land of the long white cloud" is the current Māori name for New Zealand.

Last but not least New Zealand is one out of  three countries in the world that has two official national anthems of equal standing.  The first is God Save the Queen and the other is God Defend New Zealand.
