What a beaut of a country! Hope to visit someday. The closest country to Sydney isn't even NZ, it's FRANCE thanks to New Caledonia (1,969 km from Sydney to Nouméa; 2,155 km to Auckland)! I know people like to say Australia and NZ are next to each other, but considering the size of the Tasman Sea when compared to the small gap of the English Channel between the UK and France, two countries legitimately next to each other...they're really not. The US is also closer to Greenland than NZ is to Australia! Crazy thought! That aside, when you were comparing the population density with the UK at 1:47, you used the AUSTRALIAN flag for New Zealand!
New Zealand's flag has RED stars, and the flag does NOT have another star under the Union Jack, just the Southern Cross. Australia's flag does because that seven-pointed star below the Union Jack is the Commonwealth Star. Originally it had six points, representing the six original states of Australia. But an extra point was added in 1909 when the Territory of Papua (of course now part of modern-day Papua New Guinea) was proclaimed in 1905. This point now represents any current and future territory.
