In New Zealand the government uses MMP to decide the government and electorate MP's.

The Electorate MP's are the ones who represent people of a certain area. The List MP's are the MP's that are added in so that all the seats the party has will be full.

eg. if a party got 70 seats in the government and out of those 70, 40 were electorates then 30 list MP's will be present.
