26·1 month agoNew Zealand.
supports wildlife protection.
We work hard to maintain and expand protections for our native animals. There are many wildlife sanctuaries to visit. We have successfully rid several islands of predators. Our coins and paper money features images of wild life, not bankers and war generals.
supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy.
90% of our electricity is generated from renewable sources. This includes hydropower, geothermal, and solar energy.
supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.
We don’t call them “husbands” and “wives” in NZ. People don’t usually use those words. We call our spouses partners. While there is a small % of intolerant ppl everywhere, NZ tends to be very inclusive. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2013, allowing LGBTQ+ couples the same legal rights as heterosexual couples. our government emphasizes mental health support tailored for LGBTQ+ individuals, addressing specific needs and challenges faced by the community. We have policies that facilitate access to gender-affirming healthcare and recognize gender identity changes legally, affirming rights for transgender individuals.
peaceful, low crime.
NZ ranks third in the Global Peace Index, following Iceland and Ireland. This positioning reflects an improvement due to enhanced safety and security, as well as a reduction in domestic protests and terrorism impacts. Minimal domestic and international conflict, low crime rates (comparatively), and strict gun laws contribute to this high ranking. We do have crime but it’s mostly ‘opportunistic’ type crimes like pinching packages and shoplifting. When a violent crime does happen, native born kiwis get in a huff and think NZ is the worst place on the planet. But without living in other countries, everything at home sometimes seems like the worst.
Community-oriented.
Bike paths in most major cities, community activities. There is plenty to do. Public excercise gyms in parks, allocated community spaces. Incredible libraries, thousands of km of hiking trails, hundreds of recreation areas, etc.
equal and just.
I have found that most kiwis care more about a person’s personality, manners, and contribution more than skin colour.
very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters.
Yes we do sanctuaries. we are home to about 30 animal sanctuaries. They play a vital role in conservation efforts and the protection of native species, particularly those that are endangered. They specialize in various animals, including birds, reptiles, and other wildlife, often focusing on restoring their natural habitats and providing safe environments. While many New Zealand shelters aim to be no-kill, practices can differ based on specific circumstances, resources, and policies.
free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)
Young children here get 20 hours of “daycare” subsidised by the government. Children have free dental care until they leave high school. We have a single payer healthcare and also have private insurance if you opt for it. As of 2025, New Zealand is ranked 6th in the world for healthcare quality according to the 2023 Health Care Index.
compassion-oriented.
Whether your seeing your doctor, interviewing for a job, or anything else, everyone is allowed to bring a family member. Compassion is baked in to many aspects of life. Our government prioritizes support for vulnerable groups, including low-income families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. Programs aim to provide financial assistance, housing support, and mental health services. Our government shows a commitment to addressing historical injustices faced by Māori populations, promoting initiatives to support cultural revitalization and economic development.
affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates.
Well you’re asking a lot with that one. The world economy raises and lowers all boats to a similar tide. We have the same issues that most other 1st world nations are having.

3·2 months agojfk. I had to take someone to the hospital yesterday for an acute problem (which turned out ok). When leaving, after 7 hours at the hospital, I started to reach for my wallet and the lady looked at me and said wtf are you doing put it away. And the two presriptions- free instead of the usual $5 each. I laugh when those repubs call my country a “social hellscape”
