The cartography industry and New Zealand have a long, complicated history.
I'm building a little map experiment where people rename places. Added a "$1 to show New Zealand" feature (if you click "No", it shows NZ for free anyway). NZ is a DLC now

Spot Quiz: What was uniquely complex about the New Zealand Map Grid (NZMG) prior to its replacement with the Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) in 2001 ?
Bonus points to those that answer sans google, bing, AI chat, etc.
NB this is a fun question to chase down for those that like projections, casting, surveying, etc. and you'll know you've got it when you have it, so no need for spoilers. Also, not exactly strictly unique, just very uncommon globally, unique at at a national scale IIRC.
Many years back I had the task of writing code for this (and many other types of projections) from first principles to compare against the "official" implementation released by the NZ cartographers .. it's a fun one.
