Here's a map of the top source of foreign-born residents by region in New Zealand. Like Australia, English-born are the largest immigrant group.

In fact, England is #1 in every region except Auckland (China). Australia leads in the thinly populated Chatham Islands.

Society:

The social structure mostly mimics the classes of England in the late middle ages. Outsiders will call GK citizens / most orcs spies and eccentric artists, mostly vulgar and sarcastic, although others say they are teachers and healers, genuine and hardworking. GK calls themselves a sturdy and creative nation. The most attractive qualities for GK is dedicated, homely people willing to 'think outside the box', and physically, being neatly groomed and covered in tattoos is beloved. Higher class citizens like to think that respect is universal, they give it freely and expect it in return just as freely. Although that outward respect often turns into whispers and rumours behind closed doors. Orcs born outside GK, other races born within GK, immigrants, even just younger GK orcs will be written off as 'not getting it like we do' or 'trying to hard to fit in'. The need to improve in your skills, whatever they may be, is expected tenfold in these people as well. This mentality will have lots of orcs ultimately staying in / settling down in GK, whilst younger citizens will travel to learn and hone their crafts before returning to their true home. Tattoos are incredibly meaningful for orcs as they show social status, heritage, and personal challenges*. Lacking tattoos makes you too young, immature, or somehow 'lacking character' enough to hinder your tattoo journey. However, for children this is rectified with makeup, as it is considered to be the 'practice tattoo' to mimic their parents patterns, therefore using it as adult can be seen as immature or being so unskilled you have nothing to mark yourself with. Perfume is for lower/middle class citizens as they 'have something to hide' or are not nearly as groomed as the higher class. Jewelry and piercings are a highly sort after accessory in GK, the more gemstones the richer you are to spend so much on something so 'useless'. Especially as they are made to mimic an orcs tattoos.

Professions:

Most lower/middle class people teach their children the trade of the family and that's the best they will get. With more money and influence comes more opportunities and these children can go into areas that their parents send them to. The royal family gets a great education in how to rule, economy, trade relations, politics etc. but also how to FIND someone who can do the job for you. Families will spend some time everyday, practicing their crafts together in their home. For this reason, there are generally no school buildings in GK. Some families will 'trade' promising children to either broaden their horizons, or to find a more specialised skill from others. GK is the land of art; visual, writing, musical, dancing, anything that can be 'presented' as such is highly valued among citizens. Art where is meant to be shared, to be seen, there is no such thing as 'showing off' here. Most religious sites will have a gallery section, and noble homes will occasionally open themselves for galas and festivals.

Language:

The main 4 languages of Klenith are human, elvish, orcish, and dwarvish. The language in GK is Orcish. Imagine having a mouth full of tusks. There are lisps and a focus on throat sounds in the Orcish language. The written form uses lots of straight lines and circles or dots*. Poets like to turn the circles into small flowers for flair. There's a GK specific, fishing specific sign language for sailors and fishers. While it is difficult to use while on the open seas, smaller fishing boats will use this to communicate between village waters. There's the 'general' sign language for the nobility** allover Klenith. Most hand signs are reserved for the Spies or fishermen/sailors or the hard-of-hearing nobility. The Spies slang is also never spoken, purely a written dialect stemming from orcish and the equivalent hand sign, that is ever changing. 'The sign of a good fisherman is how vulgar he is and how many fingers he has.' A lot of swearing is against the seas/oceans or allusions to tragedies that happen in the rain, while happiness is in sunshine. There are also religious curses referring to various religious texts of Aeons. The royal family bare a purple crest of three down-facing arrowheads, each a different shade of grey, the palest at the top and the darkest at the bottom, encircled by small red berries. The GK royal colours are purple and red, though many foreigners believe that grey is included. The arrowheads are the cliffs that lines GK, the berries from their Aeons religion, and the red is later attributed to the Spies institution (although it was red long before the Spies rose to power/popularity).

Interesting how the New Zealand government says that only people who believe in magic get to be protected from persecution.

Oh, I'm not joking or being melodramatic:

All extradition treaties and Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters agreements with foreign countries provide that New Zealand may refuse assistance or extradition if it is suspected that the offence for which the person is sought relates to their religion but do not provide protection for those who are sought because they have no religion.

Panel 1: a teddy bear walks up to a dinosaur wearing a crown Nd sitting on a throne. The teddy bear asks: I'm autistic but not diagnosed. Can I ask for really small accommodations at work or school?

Panel 2: the dinosaur has jagged lines emanating from it and wags a finger while shouting angrily: NO! You need PROOF otherwise you're lying and being a lazy liar!

Panel 3: the teddy bear leaves and says: ok ok, fine I'll get a diagnosis.

Panel 4: the teddy bear smiles and holds up a sheet of paper labelled " Dx "

Panel 5: the dinosaur is now calm and days: oh good, so now we will strip you of basic rights and autonomy when we want, make it harder to adopt a child, make doctors never take your seriously, and raise your insurance rates.

Panel 6: the teddy bear has stopped smiling instead is slightly stunned, still holding the paper labelled " Dx "

Panel 7: the dinosaur is calm and says: but the good news is you can wear your headphones at work now

Panel 8: a close up of the teddy bear, still not smiling.

Panel 9: both the teddy bear and dinosaur are in frame, but the dinosaur looks content while the teddy bear not had human like arms and legs, and clasps very detailed hands together in a display of frustration.

Panel 10: the teddy bear now towers over the dinosaur and casts a shadow even in a crouching position, and has a very muscular humanoid body while maintaining the teddy bear head and stunned expression.

Panel 11: a closer up of the teddy bear from the bust up and they point down and the dinosaur with their hands clapped together and look with an expression of tranquil fury. The teddy bear says: what.

This still blows my mind

STUDY IN NEW ZEALAND

Newzealand claims to offer relatively cheap cost of living, good cuisine at reasonable rates, and a diverse range of student housing choices. Public transportation is also reasonably priced, providing convenient access to rivers, lakes, woods, and beaches for leisure purposes. A student has an opportunity to Work and Study in New Zealand, the student can work part-time for a maximum of 20 hours per week on a New Zealand student visa if your program is at least two years long. Your study will result in a degree that will allow you to apply for a New Zealand Skilled Migrant visa.

WORK AND STUDY IN NEW ZEALAND. New Zealand is quickly becoming one of the most popular study abroad destinations for Indian students. With a world-class education system, globally recognized credentials, many research possibilities, and a matchless quality of life. New Zealand is a country with a lot to offer.

alright i feel like i need to chime in here and clarify at least the NZ parts. it's not perfect but neither is the immigration situation as cut and dry as the video makes it out to be.

Sources: NZ Immigation: Acceptable standard of health criteria for visa approvals NZ Immigration: Significant-cost health threshold increased

[...] New Zealand do not grant work visas to those with autism

According to the fact sheet, NZ applicants may not be granted visas if they:

"Severe developmental disorders or severe cognitive impairments where significant support is required, including but not exclusive to:

- physical disability - intellectual disability - autistic spectrum disorders - brain injury.

We may also decline your visa application if in the medical assessor’s opinion your health services costs are likely to be more than NZ$81,000 (NZ$41,000 if you applied for a visa before 4 September 2022). "

Personal note: I take this to mean that if you need round-the-clock care, your application may be denied.

And not to mention the health system is pretty spread thin (? for lack of a better word). Decent care is in the bigger cities so if you live out in the sticks, it's pretty hard to get good quality care.

[New Zealand] will not grant dependent visas to autistic children of non-autistic work visa holders

This statement was likely based off this article where a child was denied her visa because of her autistic diagnosis despite her parents working there.

It's important to note that this article was made in 2022 before the health cost limit per 5 years was adjusted on the 4th of September 2022.

It's not ideal but I urge people not to take these things at face value and look into it.

This is exactly what I mean when I say the society even more “progressive” societies are inherently ableist
