Region/New Zealand/Christchurch

Christchurch is a city brimming with creative genius. Since a major earthquake in 2011 rocked the city to its core, many inventive people have stepped up to help not only repair the damage, but make things better than they were before.
Of course, creativity and inventiveness are key components in a good writer.
While it may not be the largest city, in a country that itself isn't overly-populous, the zealous would-be authors here have the tenacity and spunk needed to tackle NaNoWriMo each November.
Their About Us message reads (as of January 2019) "Those of us brave (or insane) enough to remain in this recovering city will prove the true Kiwi spirit of ingenuity and creative solutions to difficult problems."

"The Great NaNoWriMo Stats Party." 1 December 2010. http://blog.lettersandlight.org/post/2068578620/the-great-nanowrimo-stats-party Most major cities has an active NaNo region, and even many minor cities have an active chapter. Even Wrimos in rural areas can find virtual support in the Elsewhere forums for their state, and of course, everyone can access the main NaNo forums for support and socializing. Currently, the number of U.S. regions is more than the total number of Non-U.S. Regions.
