New Zealand and Australia are both nations in their own right, and do not contain any other nations within them. When James Cook first came into contact with New Zealand and Australia in 1769 and 1770 respectively, New Zealand was inhabited by Maori, and Australia by the indigenous Aborigines. They were not, of course, nations back then.
