Careful Hilary, New Zealanders are sensitive about being continually left off maps and want our rightful place in the world recognised.
As one commentator said “For a country that is physically larger than UK, has a population of 4.5 million, more coastline than California, Alaska and Florida combined and a larger
mountain chain than the entire European Alps, it’s time for New Zealand to be put back on the map – literally!”

Subject: is this the craziest mapping 'law' yet?
yes, we really want maps of Scotland, and the Shetlands, that are mostly open sea?
And then what about New Zealand (often moved S and W under Australia). Corsica and France? And those pesky London tube maps that make Amersham look only a little
bit further from Bank than Notting Hill is?
