AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Australia and New Zealand occupy the southwestern Pacific Ocean, separated from each other by roughly 2,000 kilometers of the Tasman Sea. Both countries were inhabited by indigenous peoples for tens of thousands of years before European contact and share a broadly similar colonial history under British settlement, though they developed distinct national identities and are separated by significant differences in geography, indigenous cultures, and ecological character.
