NZ's absence from world maps is a veritable phenomenon.

Almaty airport in Kazakhstan has a massive wall map in the Customs hall with no New Zealand, which, by the way, resulted in a New Zealand visitor being detained for 24 hours in 2016 when unable to point to the country of her passport.

I feel sorry for them but that is kinda funny.
