The New Zealander's lifestyle differs from ours in many ways, such as simple things like school finishing at 3:30 or main businesses closing up at 5:30, to intricate things like the school system. What caught my attention the most is that their main food of the day is dinner (And that's if you even dare to call that a main). Other thing is that people are nice, honest and welcoming here (Their houses don't even have electrified fencing or anything :o), whilst in Chile... not so much. A similitude between them would be that they're both growing (baby) countries, which is what makes both of them beautiful, since they're not completely over-ridden by the human race, another big similitude is that we both have a second ethnicity within our country and forms a decent percentage of our complete population (In New Zealand, they would be the Maori, and in Chile, they'd be the Mapuche) and both have formed links between their cultures and ours to some extent influenced the government (Maori people are entitled to at least 4 seats in New Zealand's parliament). A thing that our government should copy from New Zealand would be the monthly fee that the government pays to the people who are currently in poor conditions of life (Or any of the benefits that New Zealand offers to it's people).
