Because of its geographical location, which of the following countries is the first to see the sun rise every day?

New Zealand is the first to greet the sun every day, specifically the East Cape of its North Island, which is only a few degrees east of the international dateline. Samoa, which was once the last country to see the sun set, moved the date so their workweek would be in line with their neighbors, Australia and New Zealand. So, while they now may technically be the first to experience a new date, geographically, the title of first to see the sun rise still goes to New Zealand.
