New Zealand Leadership (2055-2077)
2040-2056: Prime Minister Kyle (National) – Long time Prime Minister of New Zealand who held on to the PM position for more than 15 years. Kyle saw New Zealand through some of the most difficult years of the Second Great Depression and led his conservative National Party to dominate the politics of New Zealand under his tenure. Deployed the navy of New Zealand to assist the Allies in Taiwan. Later died in office from a stroke many suspected brought on by guilt from the loss of hundreds of Kiwi sailors in the Battle of Taiwan.
2056-2057: Prime Minister Mansfield (National) – Successor to Kyle. Many considered him an odd man and his popularity dived as the war got progressively worst for New Zealand's allies.
2058-2059: Prime Minister Banter (Labour) – The Labour party soundly defeated the National Party led by Mansfield and appointed Banter as the new PM. Banter led a rather uneventful term until the Hegemony invasion of New Zealand in 2059.

2060-2060: New Zealand Government Council (N/A) – Temporary government formed from surviving government officials. Ordered the evacuation of New Zealander's to Tasmania in Allied held parts of Australia.

He carried out the war against the Hegemony in Australia and Antarctica. He was a scientist before the exile and was a quiet, but brilliant man. He was assassinated by a PLA sniper when he visited newly liberated Sydney, Australia to attend a rally for Kiwi troops who participated in the liberation.
2065-2068: Prime Minister Camille (Exile) – Elected by the exiled Kiwi's. Directed the re-population and liberation of New Zealand when the Chinese pulled out of Oceania after the rupture of the Hegemony.

HISTORY 2055-2077
New Zealand endured the Second Great Depression with moderate damage to its economy because Prime Minister Kyle pulled away from the United States and European Union and aligned his nations economy with both the Republic of India and the People's Republic of China. As the world economy collapsed and numerous nation-states fell into bankruptcy only India and China weathered the economic storm. New Zealand was buoyed by its close economic ties to China and India, but as the colonies opened up late in the 2040's and the world economy recovered, New Zealand began to look with worry at the rise of a now hyper aggressive China. New Zealand soon joined the military alliance formed in the early 2050's to counter the rapidly rising Chinese Hegemony with the Commonwealth of Australia, the Republic of India, the United States of America, and several other Pacific nations. In 2055 when China demanded that Taiwan join its orbit PM Kyle sent four Royal New Zealand Navy warships to join the Multinational Allied Fleet in the Taiwan Strait.
On August.08,2055 the Multinational Allied Fleet was attacked by the Chinese Hegemony and the Communist Federated Republics which soundly defeated the Allies and led to the complete destruction of the US Pacific Fleet and the blue water fleet of New Zealand. New Zealand lost 600 plus sailors and four ships (HMNZS Te Mana, HMNZS Te Kaha, HMNZS Canterbury, and the HMNZS Endeavour) in the Battle of Taiwan. From the years of 2055 to 2058 New Zealand fought the Hegemony in numerous low casualty skirmishes across Oceania as part of Australia's Operation Blessed Assurance. Not until 2059 did the war come home for the people of New Zealand. The Hegemony crossed the Sea of Arufara in three invasion fleets, numbering hundreds of ships and a few million soldiers from China and the Holy Islamic Empire, and invaded the Commonwealth of Australia in force. The last of New Zealand's navy was destroyed attempting to prevent the landings by the Hegemony on Northern Australia. By mid-2059 New Zealand had made plans for the evacuation of the islands of New Zealand because with Australia under siege and most of its landmass under Hegemony control the navies of the Hegemony patrolled closer and closer into New Zealand's waters. It became apparent that it wouldn't be long before the Hegemony invaded the Island nation. That invasion did come on August.04,2059 when three Hegemony carrier groups from occupied Australia launched Operation Swift Wind Delta and sailed off the coast of Auckland located on the Northern Island of New Zealand. The Hegemony launched a devastating aerial assault on the North Island that killed thousands of civilians and overwhelmed New Zealand's small ill-prepared air force. Following the air attack 100,000 elite PLA paratroopers and 25,000 PLA Special Task Force troopers parachuted into Auckland, Hastings, Taupo and Wellington. These PLA forces took minimal losses in the first stages of the invasion and seized their targets but took losses from resisting militia and a well organized defense in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. At the Battle of Wellington the New Zealand Army along with the New Zealand Special Air Service fought the PLA for control of the capital and centered their defense around the Beehive (New Zealand's Parliament Building). After three weeks of fighting the city finally fell to the PLA and much of the government of New Zealand was either dead or captured.
On September.09,2059 the New Zealand Government Council was formed by the surviving members of the New Zealand government and they began to debate whether New Zealand should be evacuated to Australia or continue the fight in the home islands. On September.19,2059 Kaitaia the last Kiwi controlled city on the North Island fell to the PLA. The NZGC decided that without the resources to successfully fight the Hegemony it would make most sense to continue the fight elsewhere, on September.20,2059 the order was given to evacuate New Zealand for Tasmania, Australia. On September.28,2059 the PLA invaded the South Island, launching its invasion force from occupied Wellington to the Kiwi city of Nelson. At Nelson the New Zealand military had set up a strong defense and inflicted heavy losses on the PLA invasion force. The PLA slowly advanced southwards as the people of New Zealand slowly evacuated from the South Island port city of Invercargill under the guard of ships from the Commonwealth of Australia and the Republic of India. The PLA reached the Southern Alps by December.10,2059 and engaged the Kiwi defenders in brutal mountain warfare as the New Zealand military delayed the PLA march south. Christchurch and Queenstown both fell to a PLA airborne assault, but the New Zealand military still maintained its presence in the Southern Alps. By February 2060 the last of New Zealand's civilian population and military forces not committed in the Southern Alps were safely evacuated from the South Island. The remaining Kiwi defenders fought on until they ran out of ammunition and food in April 2060. Those left behind were either executed or forced to work in the PLA labor camps stripping the Island nation of it bountiful natural resources to fuel the Hegemony war machine.
From 2060 to 2065 the exiled people of New Zealand continued the struggle against the Hegemony by joining their Australian brethren in the defense of Free Australia. In 2065 with the fracturing of the Hegemony the PLA forces in Australia came under attack by their former HIE allies. After the brief, but bloody skirmish the PLA began to withdraw to contain the Holy Islamic Empire threat in Asia and Europe. Taking advantage of the PLA's weaken state in Australia the combined Kiwi and Australian force assaulted the retreating PLA. Operation Dragon Hunter hastened the PLA retreat and soon after the PLA forces in New Zealand withdrew without an Allied invasion even having to be mounted. The PLA left behind a New Zealand nearly devoid of its citizens and natural resources, but the exiled New Zealander's returned back to their homeland none-the-less to begin its reconstruction.
During the years of 2066 to 2077 the people of New Zealand continued their fight against the Hegemony around the world. Actively participating in major Allied campaigns such as Operation Charlemagne (Europe), Operation Blistered Moon (Mideast), Operation Waltzing Matilda (Pacific) and Operation Scorch Garden (China). With the end of hostilities in 2077 in an armistice with the Treaty of Jerusalem. The government of New Zealand along with 22 other surviving nations of the world gathered and formed the United States Earth Authority. A new world government tasked with the reconstruction and governance of a devastated Earth.
