New Zealand, sure... most people aren't even sure where it is (Near Australia or something??).

Iceland, however, I'm not so sure about. Home of U.S. Naval Air Station, Keflavik, as well as the 85th USAFE and NAVCOMTELSTA (Naval Computer and Telecommunication Station), the island would probably have a fairly high target priority in the North Atlantic theater. As a base for U.S. long range bombers, land-based naval antisubmarine aircraft, and the satellite ground station for most of western Europe, I'd say it would be gone in the second or third wave...
