I feel pretty sure that if the rest of the world collapses, New Zealand will send their army and appropriate whatever resources these chuckleheads have hoarded.

Anyways if the rest of the world goes sideways what value do stocks and bonds and American dollars have? The value of those kind of contractually enforced intangibles is socially constructed and would be the first thing to go. Land would be the thing with the most value, and again if New Zealanders are starving the government will probably just take the land by eminent domain in order to plant crops. The power of money only matters to the extent that the state backs it up.
