New Zealand

The Republic of New Zealand is a nation and former Dutch colony in Oceania. New Zealand shares its only land border with Australia. New Zealand is located on the island of Sarasota.

The Zeala Peninsula (where the present-day nation occupies) was first settled by the Dutch Empire in 1580, where the first settlement New Arnhem was founded. The New Zealand Colony was small, and less populated compared to the Dutch Australian Colonies. However, after the Dutch lost their Australian Colonies, New Zealand became their last foothold in Sarasota.

Today, New Zealand is still closely affiliated with Holland, and is a member of the League of Dutch Nations.

Etymology
New Zealand is named after Zeeland, a province of Holland. The nation's name was spelled "New Zeeland" from 1580 to 1934, when the spelling was changed to New Zealand.
