New Zealand
An island country in the South Pacific made up chiefly of the North and South Islands, lying about 2,000 km southeast of Australia. Its capital is Wellington and its largest city is Auckland.
New Zealand's Māori did not come from Australia but descend from people who left Taiwan. By canoe through the Philippines and Papua, they reached New Zealand around 1200–1300 CE. Before their arrival, the islands had no humans—and no mammals at all.

The distance between Australia and New Zealand exceeds 2,200 km—farther than Seoul to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The sea between the two countries is roughly large enough to fit India entirely.
