New Zealand is split into two main islands (known as North and South Island), with several smaller islands also contributing to the countries total area. The South Island is the largest of the two and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps. The North Island is smaller and less mountainous than the south, but is effected by volcanism, with an active volcano.

New Zealand is slightly smaller in land mass then Italy, but larger than the United Kingdom. As with the United Kingdom, New Zealand is surrounded by water, giving it well over 15,000km of beautiful and unique coastline.

New Zealand's varied geographical features and european climate have made it popular with British citizens looking to leave their country for another. As a result of this Britons moving to New Zealand can expect to find others who have already completed the move and can pass on experiences and advice.

Groups of British people living together within New Zealand are also common, with many choosing to live in similar areas of cities and rural landscapes. This can open up the possibility of support groups, where residents can meet up and discuss the issues they may encounter.
