Aotearoa

Aotearoa is Maori name for New Zealand and means Big White Cloud (like this one on picture taken around Auckland Airport in 2004). Maori came to NZ somewhere around year 900 of new era from area where is today south of China. They found here indigenes tribes of Moriori (but there some other theories that Moriori are just Maori who came to Chatam Islands around 1500 from Aotearoa).
NZ is today self governed country with Westminster type of goverment what means members of Goverment are members of Parliament what in continental EU countries we call incompatibility.
The head of the country is the Queen Elizabeth II shared as a Head by some other countries, like Canada, Australia, GB. It is what I remember from the cubject Consitutional Law I learned in 1972 at my School of Law in Zagreb.
Maori are Maori and EU Newzealanders or Pakeha (Maori name for white people) are Kiwis and Australians are Aussies.
