Is New Zealand the youngest country?
No, the newest nation is Kosovo, which became independent from Serbia on February 17, 2008. New Zealand was not colonised by humans until the late 13th century when the first Polynesian settlements began, which makes it probably the youngest country in terms of human habitation.
Is there a connection between New Zealand and Zea land in Denmark?
There is no connection other than coincidence between the names of New Zealand, the country, and Zealand, the island in Denmark. New Zealand was the name given to the land (that later became the country New Zealand) by Abel Tasman, who was an explorer from the Netherlands. He was the first European to record its existence. He named it after the province Zeeland in the Netherlands. The spelling was at some point changed to Zealand, which is an anglicized version of the province's name.

Is New Zealand a religious country?
New Zealand is not a very religious country because there is such a large mixture of cultures -Pakeha, Maori, Chinese, Indian, Asian, African, American even. The first religion in NZ was Christianity and officially New Zealand is a 'Christian' country. However, the minority of true Christians in the country is as small in percentage as in any other country.
What is the new Zealand official name?
New Zealand is officially named "New Zealand". Its inhabitants are generally referred to as "New Zealanders" or, colloquially, "Kiwis". It was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642, and some time after he named it "Nieuw Zeeland", which later became anglicised as New Zealand. New Zealand is sometimes referred to as "Aotearoa" one of the names used by some Maori and more commonly by those on the political far left in recent times. "Aotearoa" first referred to the north island only, then later became used (more commonly since the 1990s) for the whole country. Prior to European settlement, Maori did not have a concept of New Zealand being a singular nation as they were several warring tribes that had no use or desire for unification. New Zealand's national anthem is "God Defend New Zealand" and its flag is referred to as the New Zealand flag.
