About the map

New Zealand is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean as part of Oceania. The country is known for rugby, kiwi, sheep, and its indigenous Maori culture. New Zealand is located to the southeast of Australia, which is separated by the Tasman Sea.

Also, the islands of Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia are all close to New Zealand to the north. New Zealand is made up of two main islands – the North (Te Ika-a-Māui) and the South Island (Te Waipounamu), which are separated by the Cook Strait.

The South Island is the larger of the two islands and is less populous but contains the two major cities of Christchurch and Dunedin. Whereas the North Island is smaller in size but more populous with major cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Hamilton. Additionally, New Zealand’s capital city Wellington is located on the southwest corner of the North Island.
