there are two countries pretty similar to each other both are former British colonies and they're pretty close somehow their flags are formed in the same way with a blue background and the Union Jack in Campton with some stars in the right part of the flag symbolizing the Southern Cross which is a constellation located in the southern sky in a bright portion of the Milky Way even in the Australian Constitution there are some things which are said about the Australian Commonwealth the states shall mean such of the colonies of New South Wales New Zealand Queensland Tasmania Victoria Western Australia and Soda Australia including the Northern Territory of Solus Trulia as for the time being are parts of the Commonwealth so in this case were these two countries separated again the first colony in this part of the world was named New South Wales in 1788 and afterwards it included New Zealand the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 where British claimed their power over these islands and the Maori people got some rights privileges and protection of being a British subject New Zealand became a separate colony of British Empire from 1841 to 1907 long story short the Tonys in the Australian continent sought to unite in a common wall in 1890s in 1901 they decided to unite forming the Commonwealth of Australia which was a British Dominion New Zealand decided not to join even if they were involved in discussions before in this case geography could be one of the reasons there are some good models to sell from one place to another but this is not a single reason after they were separated as a colony from Australia they formed their own identity and they didn't want to be dominated by powerful states like Victoria or new south walls New Zealand officials ensured that New Zealand could at anytime she pleases entering the Commonwealth of Australia other states without the need for approval from the other states it's interesting to think that since the discussions that led to the formation of Australia the Australians left the door open for them to join but it never took the Alpha today New Zealand and Australia are two different countries similar in many ways but with their own identity
