Last one - early on, state administered by old New Zealander ? Any help greatly appreciated.

Samoa - 's(tate) a(dministered)' (early on) + 'moa' (extinct NZ bird)

Hi Puzzledcat - it's always nice to include the number of letters & to show any you've placed, so that people without the puzzle can more readily help :-)
