The queen sets New Zealand aside from other countries since she has all the prerogative powers to amend and break rules. However, the New Zealand constitution gives its people the right to exercise freedom where in, its states that all the people are equal and that they have a right regardless of class and privileges should be equally distributed. The queen being the head of the state is represented by governor general and the executive political power s are exercised by the cabinet of the New Zealand (Kumar, 78).

It is seen also that New Zealand has a high level of life satisfaction. This has been stated by international survey where, in spite of the GDP per capita it is said to be lower than many other OECD countries in the world. Health insurances are also provided by the state thus making the people enjoy most of the services they are provided.

The kind of leadership they portray dictates the king of power that the royal family has. All rules are undertaken by the queen and people are quarantined full freedom and happiness. Their welfare is taken into considerations. The culture of the people is however characterized by the diverse communion where people work hand in hand for the betterment of their monarchy. In their religion they do not have a forced religion, they believe in diverse beliefs and they are normally free to worship any Supreme Being without being persecuted (Inkson, 34).
