AH Challenge: Make New Zealand a failed state.
I’m sick of New Zealand always being so boring, what’s the fun in stability and peace? Who wants that?
So… with a POD after 1945 (or in the 1930s, if you must) try to make New Zealand the worst place that you can. Preferably with rampant ethnic/class/criminal violence, a failing or failed political system/s, widespread poverty and even foreign peace-keepers/police/observers or aid for the country if your really keen. The country doesn't have to be at it's worst in the present day, just a generally nasty place sometime past the POD.
I have a couple of ideas myself, which I will share later. Try to keep away from major international PODs- so the USA and UK must not be dictatorships, no WW3, no nuclear war and no comet hit the planet.
You may do what you please with Australia however.
Bonus points if: -Relations are sour between Australia and New Zealand -A non-democratic government exists or existed in NZ
