Relationships

Arthur Kirkland (England)-Since England was the one who discovered her after the Maori people, they have a father-daughter relationship. She recognises the Queen as a figure head and she spells things the English way. She is very loyal to England and faught alongside him in both of the World Wars. Now that she is a Dominion, they see a little less of each other but they still have a strong relationship.

Francis Bonnefoy (France)-New Zealand sees France as an uncle figure and she trusts him greatly, despite his perverted nature and the Rainbow Warrior incident, which stopped them talking to one another until the other nations, Australia and England included managed to convince them to talk to each other again. It took a while, but their relationship healed and they get along even better than before. Jane practises her French whenever she can and likes to speak to Francis (and when she can, Matthew) in French.

Ludwig (Germany)-Despite fighting each other in both of the World Wars, New Zealand and Germany are very close and are like best friends. They enjoy visting each other and New Zealand enjoys teasing Germany about his relationship with Northern Italy. It has been hinted that Ludwig may have feelings for Jane, but that is yet to be more deeply explored.

Nicholas Kirkland (Australia)-New Zealand and Australia have a rather playful rivalry, however it can get very serious very quickly. Australia is like an older brother to New Zealand and he tends to be rather protective of her, he is one of the few people who are brave enough stand up to Russia, but he only does so when it looks like New Zealand might be in danger. Due to the affection Nicholas shows Jane, he may have feelings for her but that is up for debate.

Alfred F. Jones (America)-Since they were allies in both World Wars and they are both fromer British Colonies America and New Zealand get along well, despite formerly being on bad terms with each other when New Zealand made her country nuclear-free but despite that fact Alfred made Jane cry (which is a very hard feat to accomplish) they get along well now.

Matthew Williams (Canada)-New Zealand and Canada get along well since they are both overshadowed by their brothers. New Zealand is one of the few people who can recognise Canad Ra and not mistake him for his brother. Matthew may have feelings for Jane but that is yet to be more deeply explored.

Wang Yao (China)-Since China is one of New Zealand's three biggest traders they are very friendly with each other and China even gave New Zealand a few of his pandas.

Gilbert Beilschmidt (Prussia)-Gilbert and Jane have a very close friendship and love spending time together. Gilbert often calls Jane his student and that he's teaching her how to 'be incredibly, awesomely, awesome'.

Heracles Karpusi (Greece)-In WWII, ANZAC soldiers from New Zealand and Australia were stationed in Greece to protect it from the Axis Powers. For 12 days the ANZACS tried to defend Greece from air strikes from the ground, but they were unseccessful. While the soldiers were in Greece for those 12 days, Jane and Heracles grew very close and when she had to leave she cried and told Heracles she was sorry for not being able to protect him. She promised him that next time she would do a better job, and she stuck to that promise as she is always willing to stick up for Greece when she feels she needs to. It has been hinted that Heracles may have feelings for Jane but that is yet to be more deeply explored.

Ivan Bragvinski (Russia)-In 1944 Russia and New Zealand established diplomatic relations which are still intact. Despite that, Jane is rather intimidated by Ivan and she finds him scary. During the Cold War Jane said she was neutral but she acted as if she was siding with Ivan.

Sadik Adnan (Turkey)-Despite WWI and the battle of Gallipoli Turkey and New Zealand are on good terms. New Zealand is grateful that Turkey renamed Gallipoli ANZAC Cove, in return a statue of Ataturk was erected. Whenever the Battle of Gallipoli is braught up it gets a little tense and awkward between the two of them.

Netherlands-Netherlands was technically the first European country to find New Zealand, but he didn't stick aroud long and he soon left her after a very violent confrontation with the Maori people. They are on better terms now and they get along well.

Arana-Arana was the Maori chief who found New Zealand and raised her until Arthur and Francis came along. The both loved each other dearly and she was heart broken when he died. She named her pet tuatara after him.

Pets

Hapu-Hapu is Jane's pet sheep. Hapu is very laid back and doesn't like doing much at all and takes naps all the time. Hapu is rather big headed at the fact that are far more sheep than people in New Zealand. Hapu can only speak English.

Iwi-Iwi is Jane's pet kiwi. Iwi is very hyper and loves moving around. He's also a little dim ad is constantly running into things. He often gets into fights with Hapu about which is better; sheep or kiwi. Iwi can speak English and Maori.

Arana-Arana is Jane's pet tuatara. Arana doesn't do much but he is known to be very wise. Arana can only speak Maori.
