Zeeland is part of the Netherlands. I'm not sure where New Zealand is y:-?

...but if York is in the UK and New York is in the USA, it is only logical that New Zealand is somewhere in the Americas.

I hope you do a better job of choosing a new flag.

:D
You have to be about the only person I have ever heard of that likes God Save the Queen! y:O2

I think they're seen as a bit coarse and a bit big-headed, as if they always think they're better than us. Aussies seem to be generally quite nice about Kiwis though - one freely admitted to me recently that New Zealand has the best rugby team. Mind you rugby's a minor sport to most Aussies - they're mainly interested in playing games with each other - by which I mean the national Australian Football League. :)
