Here's where New Zealand sits in the list of most beautiful countries in the world

Readers of Rough Guides have been asked to vote for the most beautiful country in the world, but they clearly don't fully understand just how beautiful Aotearoa is, as we were placed third. 

Yeah, third isn't bad, but really we should be number one right?!

The best part of the top ten list, however, is that our 'frenemy' neighbours, Australia, don't even feature! Ha, take that Oz! 

So who were the two countries that managed to trump us? Check out the list below.
