Talk:New Zealand (Wasteland Europe)

After a campaign to "save" the motherland, you suppose that a new constitution would cut all strings with her? What would the sense of this be? The queen is only a "figurehead" over the affairs of state in Britain. I see no reason why a land not significantly affected by the downfall of Europe would abandon its heritage like that.

New Zealand, in a world with the USA so prominent in the Pacific, would be a key ally in the fight against communism in Asia. It would be a key economic partner as well, receiving even more revenue in TTL than in OTL. Such wealth could significantly improve the motherland, and reduce the migration of British subjects to the Commonwealth members. Mainland Europe would be strained to a breaking point. But by 1986, Britain would have had time to recover, even without outside help.

As this article evolves, you will need to focus on its relationship with the other nations of the Pacific Rim - from Chile, to Canada, to China. Co-ordinate it with articles about these nations and it can grow into an interesting article. I wish you the best as you work on it. --SouthWriter 23:53, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
