Until recently, the world has been in constant conflict, and New Zealand's reputation as a "peaceful land" has continued to rise. Within a 1600-kilometer radius, there are no neighboring countries; 2500 kilometers to the south lies the icy continent of Antarctica, and on the east and west sides are the vast Pacific Ocean. This geographical position is a direct game-changer. The long supply lines at the start and the extremely high expedition costs cause any invader to cry before they even arrive. The likelihood of Antarctic penguins setting foot ashore is higher than that of invaders.
