New Zealand: A Truly Blessed Island Country

This Island country is one of the first countries which have recovered from the clutches of the disastrous Covid-19 outbreak – which has brought the world to an unpleasant state. Like most advanced countries in the world, the tourism sector of the country is one of the main contributors to the economy. The quick recovery of the country from the clutches of the virus implies that the country may go back to normal in near future itself.

What is beauty? How can beauty be defined? It is hard to explain the concept of beauty. Why we see beauty only in few things that we see around us – not in all? What separates beauty from ugliness? Actually, the real beauty does not lie in things that we see around us, but is in the eyes through which we see those things. Not all may get this point right.

Nature is the mother of beauty. Those countries, which show reverence to her and do everything possible to make her happy, remain blessed with beauty forever. In this edition, such a beautiful country is introduced. It is none other than New Zealand, the last large habitable land to be inhibited by humans.

New Zealand is an Island country situated in the southwest region of the Pacific Ocean. Australia is the nearest neighbour of this Island country. The North Island, the South Island and as many as six hundred small Islands constitute this sovereign country in the southern hemisphere. What that makes the land special is its rich biodiversity and its gifted topography. Though Wellington is the capital of the country, its most populous region is Auckland.

Polynesians were the first inhabitants of this land. Meanwhile, the first European which landed in this Island was Dutch.

The dominance of Dutch over the territory had remained until the land was handed to the British colonials. The British colonials overturned the overall character of this Island.

When the British colonials finally left the territory in the year 1947, it was left with a new character – far different from the one it had possessed before the arrival of the colonials into this land.

Now, the Island is more of European in character than of Polynesian. Notably, the majority of the population of the country is of European descent.
