New Zealand was traditionally a relatively conservative country in the British Empire, but nowhere near the high level of conservative populism found in the United States.
New Zealand is named after [[Zeeland]], a province of the Netherlands. The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue, which are self-governing, but in 'free association'; Tokelau; and the Ross Dependency (New Zealand's Antarctic territorial claim). New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation, being separated from Australia to the northwest by the Tasman Sea, approximately 2000 kilometers (1250 miles) across. Its closest neighbors to the north are [[New Caledonia]], [[Fiji]], and [[Tonga]]. [[Wellington]] is the capital of New Zealand and second largest city; [[Auckland]] is the largest city with Christchurch the third largest and largest in the South Island.
