New Zealand, like Canada, is a crown land.
Everything we do here (and there) that supports the gov't contributes to its tyrannical monarchy. (I'm almost positive it's against the law for me to speak out against the crown, so watch out Steve.) You have to swear an oath to the Queen to be a national representative. Isn't that a bit dated?
Boy Scouts have to pledge allegiance to the Queen in Crown colonies as well. An 8 year old making a life long, binding decision? Great...
p.s.: your country now has
John McCain's approval... thanks to its sending military forces to areas of conflict? Yeah, that's just what I look for in a country! Someone who's willing to join the fight...?
