What country is this?

The 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy was famously filmed in New Zealand. It brought roughly $200 million to the local economy, thanks in part to the Minister for 'Lord of the Rings', a government-appointed official whose job was to make sure New Zealand made as much bank off Frodo as humanly (and hobbit-ly) possible.
