Is New Zealand Bounding Box data correct?

Question

It looks like Azure Maps Bounding Box data for New Zealand may be off. We see the following when we do an address search for "New Zealand" entityType: Country

(-178.9086067, -52.6090817, 179.0282187, -29.2312411)

Should this data not be:
(166.509144322, -46.641235447, 178.517093541, -34.4506617165)

Answer 1

No. The bounding box you are getting is correct. New Zealand is more than the main land mass, there are many islands that are part of that country. Here are a few that are pretty far from the main landmass:
