Are those regions admistrative units? I've never been to New Zeland, 
it's the other end of the world for me ;)

Bad example ;-) We there are no comtinental governments, yet.
Spealing about administrative boundaries.

Ok, how about its administration. To which governor must a mayor of 
kansas city suck up? I'm pretty sure that not to both. Maybe the 
"metro area" has som independence? Then I would draw it like this.

      \
       \
kansas \____
        /    \
        \____/
           |  missouri
           |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City,_Missouri
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City,_Kansas

OK, speaking in terms of US. No county lies in two states.
