As of January 1, 2014 the population of Newfoundland & Labrador (one province) was 526,896. Well.....95% of that is on the island, the rest is in Labrador. That still brings us to 500,551.
I vote for Newfoundland!

South Island, NZ for me - home sweet home.
Oceania isn't a continent in a geographical sense. Most of NZ is on a different tectonic plate than Australia.

Well New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian (Indo - Australian plate) and the pacific oceanic plate.
