Kiwi actor and comedian Rhys Darby has uncovered the \u201cnext great conspiracy,\u201d<\/em> it seems and he\u2019s keen to share his theory with the world. <\/p>\n\n

In a new video released by Tourism New Zealand <\/a>this week, Darby was made aware that oh, holy hell, New Zealand has been left off world maps everywhere. Yes. Even after Lord of The Rings <\/em>and, er, Lorde. <\/p>\n\n

From the world map in stock photo libraries, to the souvenir globe at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, our old pal NZ consistently seems to be the little country the world forgot and Darby is onto the reasons behind that. <\/p>\n

Being the concerned citizen he is, the Jumanji<\/em> star put in a call to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to let her in on his theory why everyone is leaving out NZ <\/p>\n

This is where they landed: Considering NZ is far too fab a destination to be forgotten over and over again, Darby and Arden are convinced that the globe is united in its attempt to keep the land of the Kiwis off the map.<\/p>\n

\"Genie<\/p>\n

Australia is out to steal their tourists. England no longer wants to compete with the All Blacks. And France is keen to stay on top of the wine industry… That, or people are leaving it out because it looks like a “half-eaten lamb chop”<\/em>. We’ll leave you to be the judges.<\/p>\n
