So what is the rule exactly? "Australia's" and "Rome's" both have an apostrophe, and that's what "it" is standing in for here.

I don't know, seems kind of goofy. For a word like "his", there is no counterpart "hi", but there is an "it".
I'm assuming that "him" is related to the hypothetical counterpart "hi"
