Country whose capital is Wellington (3,7)

I believe the answer is:

new zealand

(Other definitions for new zealand that I've seen before include "[TEST TEAM]" , "Land of the kiwi" , "Zelanian things originate here" , "where 28/25 [PINOT NOIR] is produced" , "Antipodean country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
