I should've thought about this earlier...
661. New Zealand is part of the continent "Zealandia" of which 93% are submerged.
662. New Zealand is the first among the modern countries currently independent to allow women to vote.
663. Sign language is one of the three official languages of New Zealand.
664. There are no land snakes in New Zealand.
665. New Zealand's native Maori make up only 15 percent of the population but 50 percent of the prison population.
666. For decades, people in New Zealands wanted a new flag because the current one is too similar to the Australian one and the Union Jack is no longer appropriate.

The election due this March determined that actually more than 50 percent of the population don't want a new flag anymore. Nevertheless, those were some of the new designs:
667. If everyone lived as densely as in Manhattan, the human race could fit in New Zealand.
668. The world's steepest street is Baldwin St. (with a 38° gradient) in Dunedin, New Zealand.
669. The logo of the royal New Zealand Air Force is the Kiwi, a flightless bird.
670. New Zealand bans all advertising on TV on Christmas, Easter, Good Friday and Anzac Day. That is amazing and should be a universal law!
Anyone from New Zealand to fact-check this?
