That’s not an ideal graph because it’s based on the maximum severity anywhere in the country, with just a small offset for not being national. Here I’ve tried to work it out as if Auckland and the Rest of NZ were separate countries. It’s still not perfect, because other countries also have sub-national variation.
And there is the same comparison for another relevant group of countries
