Relationships with other countries

-- England: New Zealand has a strong, good relationship with England, who they were formerly under as a colony. About 80% of people in New Zealand claim some sort of English ancestry, and 17% of them are entitled to a British passport. They are both constitutional monarchies, mentioned before, and independently are under the same queen, Queen Elizabeth.

-- America: Both the US and NZ were former colonies of England. They've been the allies of the US in multiple wars and currently, NZ is a member of the Non-NATO Pact (for the allies of the US, who aren't members of NATO).
