Did you know: as pointed out here, "mana" is used in New Zealand (not just by Māori) and means something like "status" or "honour" (to drastically simplify a nuanced and powerful word[1]). Its also the name of a left wing party that Kim Dotcom has allied his Internet Party with for the upcoming election. The joint party is called "Internet Mana Party"[2] and is likely to achieve at least two seats on the new parliament.
