We have Waitangi day on February 6th, which marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi between the Crown (read: Them White Fullas from England), and the Maori people of Aotearoa (read: Tangata Whenua).
It's a day of horrific discord, racial tension, and bitter animosity - if you watch the news. In reality its usually a good day to kick back, have a BBQ, or head to the Wellington Sevens to get pissed and perv at girls/guys in skimpy costumes. It's also Auckland Anniversary day today, so expect to see the JAFAs out in full force online, and it was Wellington Anniversary day last week - hence why I was leveling a new character. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

" So, is there a place the english folks didnt invade and drive out the natives? |

" They kind of tried, but that was after the Treaty was signed. Usually not a good idea to get embroiled in a guerilla war with experienced combatants when you're used to being able to line your troops up into neat rows. Essentially, the English were afraid that either the Dutch or the French were going to be able to lay claim to the country before they could, so they busted ass drumming up support for a Treaty with most of the North Island tribes, then took it on a roadshow until they got enough support to tell the Tulip munchers and Cheese eating surrender monkeys to bugger off. Of course, it all went a bit tits up. We're slowly making amends for that... == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

New Zealanders celebrate Australia day as there's more kiwis living in Australia than in New Zealand.

More sheep than people in New Zealand. A Scotman's paradise.

I'm only half Scottish. So I only love half the sheep. You know, the pretty ones.

^ The front half or the back half?
