Without New Zealand, we wouldn't have lamb. Without lamb, we wouldn't have gyros and shawarma. Without gyros and shawarma, I'd go hungry. If I'd go hungry, I'd starve to death.

Cool.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Kiwis. Sub-zero.

 

[Wiegert]

The Earthporn Archipelago.

Sub zero.

 

[Liquid]

Is this the geological and geographical feature off the coast of Australia or the sovereign state ruling that feature?

The two are very different.

 

[Roger the Horse]

The geographical feature.

 

[JMoney]

New Zealand is awesome. It would probably be the place I'd go if I couldn't live in the U.S. It has one of the highest economic freedom ratings in the world, has a beautiful landscape, and while it's a 1st world country it's insignificant; it's one of those countries that nothing really seems to happen in.

Sub-Zero.

Also, they have a cooler flag than Australia because the stars are red.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Cool place - can't pronounce Fish and Chips correctly though...

 

[SomePlayaDude]

 

[JAHHAJ]

From what I hear it's Oz without the creatures that can harm you, that's an instant SZ in my books.

 

[TheCracker]

1950 called, wants its country back.

 

[Skython]

Cool place - can't pronounce Fish and Chips correctly though...

You mean "fush n' chups?" Because I have never actually heard anyone say it like that unless for a joke.

But anyway. New Zealand is sub zero because I live there... And I'm awesome! Right? ... Right? ... Okay, I'm sorry New Zealand, I think I just made people downvote the country.

 

[Cano]

39 Million sheep.​

Incredibly awesome.

 

[Lizard]

Has the Wales reputation which makes it seriously uncool.

U WOT MÊT?

 

[noshog]

A bit of a biased vote from me....SZ

 

[Lizard]

Delete.

 

[SVX]

Sub ze-

But anyway. New Zealand is sub zero because I live there...

Oh, right. Seriously uncool.

 

[Skython]

Sub ze-



Oh, right. Seriously uncool.

Aha! You've fallen right into my plan! I wanted you to decide NZ is seriously uncool, because then you hate the country you live in. And you have to live with the fact that you live in a country that is seriously uncool!

*looks at your vote*

Oh...

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Sub-zero. It's like Australia but better.

 

[Turbo_snail]

They are the reason for LAMB CHOPS. Sub-zero

 

[Valkyr1313]

Sub-zero for sure. It's home to possibly the most successful sports team this side of Brawn GP, The New Zealand All Blacks. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth, the people are friendly, the roads are fantastic and I was born there
