New Zealander or Kiwi. Our sense of being a nation distinct from "Home" as Britain was called really took off after World War One.
While we weren't technically independent, we'd been self-governing since 1865, although it took us a lot longer to cut all of the apron strings, and well, the Queen is still our head of state, so who knows if or when we'll go full republic - most NZers don't really care. But hey, in the 2000s we stopped using the Privy Council in England as our highest court.
