    Irish-Kiwi scribe, politician and proud New Zealand patriot Thomas Bracken described his adopted homeland as “God of nations” in the 1876 poem that would become the national anthem and, in 1890, wrote an ode to Aotearoa entitled God’s Own Country, likely spawning our self-conferred nickname Godzone.
