Even after reading the attached letter from Peter, it's not clear to me as to 'why New Zealand'. Sure... friendly people, environment, business friendly gov, familiar culture, opportunity to contribute to startup community etc. Makes sense. But other Commonwealth countries could check those boxes too -- especially Canada -- that one would expect to be far more convenient and accessible. Even the obvious not-spoken reason -- the isolation of New Zealand and its ability to act as a haven in case of global calamity -- could find analogues in Canada's vast wilderness for a man of his means. Actually, he might already have a landing strip and bunker somewhere next to a freshwater spring in the Canadian shield (Canada has 1/5th of the world's freshwater). That said, Canada is locked in orbit with the US; so perhaps part of his rationale is ability to escape the US sphere of influence if needed too. Canada is also less ethnically homogenous than NZ, which some people may think will matter in a doomsday scenario. New Zealand also has much higher population density... one could imagine that mix of density and isolation being important when trying to rebuild civilization.
