Best Answer

Population density is calculated by the area of land and the amount of people in that land. In New Zealand's case, the country itself is quite large, larger than the UK, and the population is quite low. For every square kilometer of area in New Zealand, an average of 16 people live there.

But the South Island is responsible for the greater part of the total exports.

And when the weather people refer to the 'deep south', South Islanders smile as they recall the words from the dictionary of antonyms.
