Australia and New Zealand
Two countries in Oceania...more specifically…Australasia. Separated by the Tasman Sea, they’re two well developed countries that often rank really high on nearly every quality of life ranking list and are, uh, pretty awesome. Both seem to be kind of far away from the entire rest of the world, and kind of in their own little world since they’re both so unique.

Which two countries should I compare next? I must have been tired while making this video, as I misspoke two times in it. My daughter and friend Dan caught them! At 3:45 I butchered the word "Shire" and at 12:56 I said "720" but I meant to say "1720." Again, thanks to State of the World for collaborating with me.

Multiculturism is similar however more so in Aus. New Zealand actually has seasons which is nice, and doesn't get stifling hot nor bitterly cold.

As a Kiwi that’s pretty accurate. Northland (top of north island) was settled by a lot of Yugoslav/Austrian people, the men making money in the kauri gum industry. Large Croatian population still in Auckland (as with my mothers family). Not a lot of Kiwi bands get international recognition fan wise but influenced other bands and artists. I think UB40 was influenced by The Herbs. Both NZ and Aus have provided several of the worlds most famous actors, many Americans don’t realise until they hear their natural accents.

New Zealand has alot of sheep though, but I like lamb, and if I get to visit my family there, I'm sure they'd cook a nice roast lamb for us.

Not many people live in the far north of Oz because it is uncomfortably hot and humid, prone to cyclones, has disease-bearing mosquitoes and the coastal waters feature crocodiles, Irukandji and box jellyfish.

Hi Mr Beat, I see you finally got there :) Like Vexgeo, I also have some feedback and information to share with people (I'm a Kiwi) 4:40 At some point there's due to be a major earthquake (probably >magnitude 8) on the Alpine Fault in the South Island 7:23 "Aussies" is normally said with a voiced z sound rather than an s sound in the middle 7:27 Thank you for digging into this etymology! I get annoyed when people assume we're named after a fruit rather than the much cuter and more unique bird. 9:02 I wouldn't say going without shoes in public is super common but it's more acceptable than other countries based on my conversations with people who have lived overseas 9:09 Interestingly same sex marriage was legalised by parliament in NZ, whereas in Australia it was legalised by a referendum 9:30 I'm somewhat disappointed that you took the time to talk about Australia's unique plants and animals, but not NZ's so much. We have many strange birds and also the Tuatara (NOT LIZARDS), which have outlived the dinosaurs. The animals here are not dangerous but people are fairly likely to be killed by exposure if they don't prepare properly because the weather can change rapidly. 10:35 NZ had a referendum on marijuana legalisation last election which narrowly failed. 15:00 I could make a lot of comments on the NZ history section but it's mostly accurate as long as people bear in mind that these are generalisations and there's always more detail. One difference from Australia is that Māori people were given formal legal equality (and representation in parliament) from very early on. This led to a strange exemption in the White Australia policy that allowed Māori to enter Australia on the same terms as other NZers. 16:20 The feminist movement at the time was heavily linked to the temperance movement 18:10 In addition to Māori people and Asian people, Pacific Islanders are also a large minority in NZ 21:15 Six60, though I don't know if anyone listens to them overseas 21:45 Yeah, I think this is fair. There are some issues in Trans-Tasman relations (specifically Australia keeps deporting people here) but at the end of the day there's nowhere else in the world that's quite as much like us. Great work on the video and I'll tell you if I ever get around to summarising NZ law! Also it would be great if you could get rid of that thread of crypto-scam comments. Best wishes, Greenhawk

So about gay marriage is bit more complex then simple a referendum. The PM of the time Tony Abbott is extrmely conservative and christian, who didnt want too pass it in parliment even if it was popular, so he put out was non legal or binding postal survey too see if the nation wanted it (also question the idea that the majority should control the rights of minorities). He thought he could use the "quit majority" too show it wasnt qctually popular. He was dead wrong, 61% of the population who voted, voted yes with a closer look showed in the end like 12 voting areas in totaly of australia voting no. Even then he try too delay it in the house and senate but in the end it was voted through with the majority of the house saying yes. Side nore: Both Tony abbott, todays PM Scott morrison and Deputy PM Barnby Jouce (yes the "we kill those dogs " joyce) chose too walk out of the vote instead of showing that against gay marriage, because they are cowards and have no backbone Edit: During this time, Tony abbot, our PM, was punch too the ground by a anarchist. Many try too spin it as hate towards Anti-gay marriage but nah he punxh because he was a C@#$, good times.

As for NZ bands: - Devilskin (from my home region, Waikato, no less!) - Flight of the Conchords (if you're counting duos) - Six60 - Elemeno P - Shihad - Fat Freddy's Drop - Katchafire - Split Enz - Generally considered an Aussie band, but one of Crowded House's founding members (and he's also their lead songwriter) is a Kiwi. - Then there's the single acts, like Brooke Fraser, Lorde and Dave Dobbyn. Of course, my view of what's 'famous' for NZ bands might be skewed, living in NZ, but pretty much all these bands have toured internationally.

4:26 Victoria and South Australia actually have an active volcanic hotspot that tends to make a new volcano every few thousand years. But other than that, you're on the money. The lack of tectonic activity is also why Australia's soils are just plain sh-not very good. There's no natural replenishment of the soil. Sure New Zealand gets an earthquake every other week, but the tectonic dynamism means we have some decent soil, especially in the North Island. 18:42 The ozone layer is thinner here because we're closest to the "hole" in the ozone layer. A hole that exists because America didn't stop spraying CFCs until the 1970s, and we have to live with the consequences. Good news is, it's slowly closing up, though skin cancer rates are still through the roof. 19:13 Yeah, we have universal healthcare. Just like the rest of the developed world. We're not unique. YOU'RE the weird one, America. 20:20 That's an American opossum. The possums we deal with are Australian Brushtails, which are cuter, cuddlier, and unbelievably destructive to our forests. If we could ship them all back to Australia, we'd do it. We also have a rabbit problem, espicially in the South Island.

Fun fact: New Zealand is considered a state by the Australian constitution, more specifically an original state, however it is not a federated state like the others. While this means New Zealand is not a part of the Commonwealth of Australia, it does mean that New Zealand CAN ratify the Australian constitution at any time it so pleases to do so, and does not have to go through the process outlined in the constitution for new states, as it is considered by that same constitution an original state. So basically New Zealand can join Australia whenever it wants to, and doesn't even really need to get permission from the Australian Government, as it is dictated by the constitution.

Australia's beaches are mostly fine sand and crystal waters. NZ beaches tend to be coarse volcanic sands and milky waters. Australia's mountains are more like weathered table lands than proper alps.

@@newbris Chile is farthest south , followed by Argentina and New Zealand is next , followed by Australia fourth. Auckland is our largest city , but the majority of our population ( approx. 4 million ) live south of Auckland. The only place in Australia that qualifies as "just as close " is Tasmania. But overall , no Australia is not further south.

Also, if anyone is planning on moving to NZ or Aus. remember it's *very* difficult to get citizenship there and if you're over age 45 it's probably next to or completely impossible to be accepted citizenship. You're better off just looking at pictures and videos of the scenery instead of going there unless you live there or live very close to where it's a short trip/flight.

Something which was missed is that New Zealand has very strong connections with the Polynesian South Pacific island states. "Islanders" are a significant population block, particularly from Samoa and Tonga. While I'm unclear on details, I believe that citizens of many Polynesian nations have preferential status for immigrating to or temporarily working in New Zealand (although Covid has disrupted migration recently.) New Zealand tends to see itself as a Pacific island nation (big fish in a small pond), while Australia identifies more with Asia (medium fish in a large lake).

One correction Australia definitely not one of the easiest countries to immigrate to, but one of the hardest. Age limits, only certain skills needed even with a University degree, and must have good health even if you carry your own insurance as they are obligated to give permanent residents Medicare. I’ve been very blessed to make it for now (still working on permanent residency after living here almost 7 years through 3 different Visas), but a difficult process that takes a long time so not sure where that idea comes from but most immigrants in Australia would tell you it’s one of the most difficult places to immigrate to legally.

Can confirm as an American: Australia has a wonderful quality of life & that is why when I lived there I wanted to be there permanently. But I personally had a hard time permanently immigrating there because I wanted to stay in the greater Sydney Metro where my family & friends are/were & rules to stay in that part of Aus are more difficult since they want to attract people to the more rural parts of NSW or literally anywhere else. Haha. I was also too early in my non STEM career for them to justify giving me a skilled worker visa. Maybe one day I’ll still get my chance to live there again.
