I'm just wondering why you speak with such casual conclusiveness that smaller population size is even worth mentioning, when all evidence says that population size has little to nothing to do with political trends that lead to authoritarian fascism (being that the subject is NZ not being as right wing as USA). I'm trying to argue the fact that there's zero anthropological data suggesting that population sizes, even climate environments, have any correlation with certain cultures leaning more in a certain direction. You however seem to think it's worth bringing up, or that there are "many other things that having a smaller population affects" I just want to know where you get that idea from, again, when all evidence points to the contrary.
