National Geographic (who I work for) has a new line of globes that are
physical and political (changes whether illuminated or not).  Some are
14".  Info at http://www.sphericalconcepts.com/ng.htm

I don't know if the HEMA store in Auckland carries them, but that might be
a good place to look for globes.
