New Zealand

1. It's way down there - In fact Wellington, the Capital City of New Zealand, is the southernmost capital city in the world.

2. No snakes - Edit: So after some research it seems that there once were snakes in New Zealand, millions of years ago when New Zealand was attached to the Mainland (Australia etc.), but they haven't appeared since the Ice Age. Also sometimes(rarely) sea snakes appear.

3. Kiwi - Not the fruit, our native flightless bird is also a term to call a New Zealander. Currently endangered as they are flightless and easily attacked by other animals and they also lay massive eggs!

4. All Blacks - We're insanely great at Rugby!

5. The name New Zealand was from Dutch cartographers, who called the islands Nova Zeelandia, after the Dutch province of Zeeland

6. There are more sheep than there are people
Oh, and sometimes they protest. (Check out the video)

7. New Zealand has won more Olympic gold medals, per capita, than any other country.

8. Lord of the Rings was filmed here - You probably already know.

9. Bungy Jumping was invented here - By AJ Hackett.

10. We drive on the left - Like Australia and England.

11. We are located on the Ring of Fire - Which means that we have several volcanos and get about 1400 earthquakes each year. Mount Ruapehu is one of the most active volcanos in the world. Lake Taupo is actually a crater caused by the largest known eruption in the world 26,500 years ago. You also may have heard of the 2 earthquakes in Christchurch, one in 2010 and one in 2011 killing 185 people.

12. We fucked up in the America's Cup.
