The city Nieuw Zeeland may not have any tiles laid on it. Players may select Nieuw Zeeland as an IPO starting in phase 3. Must choose 5 share or higher IPO. A company winning the bid places a token in Nieuw Zeeland. After concluding paying for additional token(s), a 2nd token from the company is immediately placed anywhere on the map that has a free city, if there are any. A company owning a token in Nieuw Zeeland earns +$20 from the bank per OR if it has no loans, or one interest payment for one loan is ignored per OR.
