New Zealanders ('Kiwis') are predominantly of European descent, alongside the Indigenous Maori, a large Pacific Islander community, and a growing Asian population. English and Maori are official languages, as is New Zealand Sign Language.
Religious life is increasingly secular, historically Christian, with a large non-religious share and growing minority faiths.
New Zealand enjoys high living standards, strong institutions, and high life expectancy, with a bicultural foundation in the Treaty of Waitangi and population growth driven by immigration.
