    Climate >>> The climate is close to the european oceanic one. Temperature range between 7°celsius (july) and 19° celsius (january). Rainfall is around 2000mm per anum.
    Population >>> The New Zealand population is mostly urban (80%), half concentrated in three cities, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. The maori represent one tenth of the population, though they claim being of the Aotearoa Maori Nation. In the same time, many New Zealanders (estimated figure is 600'000) went abroad with the politic situation deterioration in the country during the last twenty years.

    2022: Australia and New Zealand sign a mutual support pact, establishing the ANZAC (Australia & New Zealand Allied Confederation).
    2042: Severe supression of demonstration supporting the aborigines provoke a near uprising. On the New Zealander governement demand, the United Kingdom and Australia send troops to help restore order.

    2052: The "Maori Nation," Aotearoa, declare taking control of South Island, and will reintegrate the New Zealand state only when it will be again totally independant.
    Political structures >>> The New Zealand head of the state is still the United Kingdom sovereign, although the link with the mother-country is fragile at best. The government leader is the First Minister, determined by the election of the 120 members of the House of the Representants every three years. But a delegate of the australian government and the commander-in-chief of the australian troops in New Zealand have a right to know on the governement actions.
    Political forces >>> Despite the existence of a political alternance, the power remain in the hand of a tenuous coalition, following a moderate policy of economical growth in the new technologies, supported by corporations and Australia. The real opposition is against the ANZAC, which satellize New Zealand around the corporate interests establihed in Australia. The australian intelligence services, or in the worst cse the Australian army, will anyway prevent them as long as possible from terminating this alliance, which would be serious disapproval for the australian government, and call a halt for the ANZAC undersea projects, which earn the australian government the megacorporations favors.
    International relationships >>> The ANZAC treaty est establish a confederation between Australia, New Zealand and several Polynesian nations. with the size difference, the australian governement get the lion's share, and moreover neutralize potential misbeheviour of the New Zealanders. New Zealand governement relations with the United Kingdom are strongly marked out by the australian Foreign Affair. Indonesia remained especially hostile to the ANZAC members. France, as Japan prior to its political crisis, to strengthen their position in South Pacific if the New Zealand was getting back independant.

    >>> Due to his policy in Australia and New Zealand, Renraku is the prime corporate target for the protest. The Christchurch security system have a lot to do with the organization of a real opposition guerilla on South Island. In return, their australian subsidiary Baird Telecommunications, who run the New Zealand matrix, use expeditive methods against terrorist deckers. Shiawase and Tanamyre are also corporations regularly targeted.
    >>> The Ares-Knight Errant military base arouse as much hostility from the activists thn from the australian military command. The Quantas aerial company, subsidiary of AreSpace, is a favored target for the terrorists. Knight Errant go it alone, but with more tact than the Australian army and Renraku.

    Security >>> The New Zealand police is clearly overtaken by the domestic extent unrests. They don't like the australian militaries more than the terrorists, but they do their job of enforcing order as they can. The australian authorities block any overture toward a corporate police contracts, concerned by interferences in the counter-terrorist australian federal operations (that it's already an interference in New Zealand is not the subject). The australian army still have its mandate to maintain order on New Zealand. They largely outclass the New Zealand armed forces, which have neverthless succeded to reorganize. To the australian great annoyance, their marine infantery units have started combined training on Knight Errant base near Wellington.

    Intelligence >>> There is only a single main stricture in the New Zealand intelligence. The Intelligence Assessment Bureau (IAB) ensure the control and direction of all the various services under its authority (GCSD, DDI and NZIS), which should have in theory remain autonom. Actually, all the operations have to be evaluated before and after by the IAB. New Zealand never had an important intelligence system, but the terrorism issue motivated its improvement. Its staff has almost doubled in size. On the australian point of view, a single service est easier to control and manipulate than several ones, you understand the reform interest for them.

    Terrorism >>> A hardline faction of the New Zealand protest plunge in terrorism. They first target australain troops present in New Zealand, but also act overborder : in Australia obviously, as in many places in the word against australian interest, and the corporations allied with it. The most important of those groups, the FNZ (Free New Zealand), is sometime considered as the XXIst century IRA. They obcess the australian army and the AISE, who refuse to withdraw from New Zealand without having neutralized the terrorist first. In addition to the end of the country occupation by Australia, their demands are the recognition of the australian aborigines, the end of the corporate seizure, or, failing that, Wellington withdrawal from the ANZAC.
    >>> The maoris, equipped with military gear, have in the end, took control of most of South Island (or at least the inner land). The Aotearoa nation is organized with a real governement and an administration. The maori nation, not recognized officially, by the australians at least, will only accept to reunite with new Zealand when it will get its full independant back. There is a noticeable split with the FNZ, reproarching the maoris to forgot the fight against the australian power, and instead defend a maori only cause.
