New Zealand it seems. An island country of 5 million with some of the most expensive real estate and highest suicide rates of the developed world.

Where did you get that statistic? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r..., the USA's suicide rate is ~40% higher than NZ's.

If I am not mistaken most of those suicides are among the Maori people not the white people of NZ.

No you should first understand the cause of the suicides before lumping them with the rest of the developed world.
