New Zealand: New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island and the South Island —and over 600 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island country by area and lies east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps, owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland. Source: Wikipedia.

Auckland is the most populous city in New Zealand with about 1.7 million residents — roughly a third of the country's total population — though Wellington is the capital. New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13) apply, with DST running from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April. Auckland is built across a volcanic field containing more than 50 volcanic cones, including Rangitoto, which last erupted about 600 years ago. The city is one of the most ethnically diverse in the Pacific, with a large Polynesian population that makes Auckland home to the world's largest concentration of Pacific Islanders. Sky Tower at 328 metres is the tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Ports of Auckland handles a large share of New Zealand's containerised imports.
