Same reason Canada and USA are different.

Same reason the UK and Ireland are different.

Same reason Spain and Portugal are different.

is new zealand french?
i dont understand
wich one was the most loyal to the queen? Aussies or zealanders?

Australia and New Zealand never had violent revolutions. The US and Ireland did.

They're not that close and nz voted not to join

This is stupid m8. Stop putting America in the middle of everything.
Nop

dunno lol

ask someone in there
someone gotta know

what's up with different countries in the same space that triggers ocd on so many people lol

>unitedzil
why dont you balkanize like the rest of south america already you pricks!

new zealand and fiji were originally going to be included in the federation talks, but the fijians didn't even send a representative and the kiwis thought the australian colonies were too racist towards the abos and didn't want the same to happen to the maori.

its cause u talk funny

but the Maori are actual humans

yeah that's why it makes sense that they didn't join.

Luso blood is of unity, Hispanic blood is of bickering and balkanisation. Just look at Portugal and Spain.

...

This. Spaniards are so shit even other spaniards hate them.

celtiberian genes of infighting
its just like 2200 years ago

Something about Maoris are politically superior to Abos or some shit.

kiss yourself

NZ and Australia have even less of a reason to be separate since neither of them have a large French minority and neither of them rebelled.
