Oceania (sometimes Oceanica) is a geographical,often geopolitical,region consisting of numerous lands—mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean and vicinity.The term is often used in many languages to define one of the continents and is one of eight terrestrial ecozones.
Ethnologically,the islands that are included in Oceania are divided into the subregions of Melanesia,Micronesia,and Polynesia.
The exact scope of Oceania is variably defined:it generally includes New Zealand,is often taken to include parts of Australasia such as Australia and New Guinea,and sometimes all or part of the Malay Archipelago.

New Zealand is a country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two large islands (the North Island and the South Island) and numerous smaller islands,most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands.The indigenous Māori named New Zealand Aotearoa,which is usually translated into English as The Land of the Long White Cloud.The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue,which are self-governing but in free association; Tokelau; and the Ross Dependency (New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica).
New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation,situated about 2000 km (1250 miles) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea,and its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia,Fiji and Tonga.During its long isolation New Zealand developed a distinctive fauna dominated by birds,many of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and the mammals they introduced.
The population is mostly of European descent,with the indigenous Māori being the largest minority.Asians and non-Maori Polynesians are also significant minorities,especially in the cities.Elizabeth II,as the Queen of New Zealand,is the Head of State and,in her absence,is represented by a non-partisan Governor-General.The Queen 'reigns but does not rule.' She has no real political influence,and her position is essentially symbolic.Political power is held by the democratically elected Parliament of New Zealand under the leadership of the Prime Minister,who is the Head of Government.

The Commonwealth of Australia is a country in the southern hemisphere comprising the mainland of the world's smallest continent,the major island of Tasmania,and a number of other islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.N4 The neighbouring countries are Indonesia,East Timor,and Papua New Guinea to the north,the Solomon Islands,Vanuatu,and New Caledonia to the north-east,and New Zealand to the south-east.Australia is the only country that is also a continent.
The Australian mainland has been inhabited for more than 42,000 years by indigenous Australians.[2] After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and then European discovery by Dutch explorers in 1606,[3] the eastern half of Australia was later claimed by the British in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales,commencing on 26 January 1788.As the population grew and new areas were explored,another five largely self-governing Crown Colonies were established during the 19th century.
On 1 January 1901,the six colonies became a federation,and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed.Since federation,Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and remains a Commonwealth realm.The capital city is Canberra,located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).The population is just over 21.3 million,with approximately 60% of the population concentrated in and around the mainland state capitals of Sydney,Melbourne,Brisbane,Perth,and Adelaide.
