There is a natural number 0.
Every natural number a has a natural number successor, denoted by S(a).
There is no natural number whose successor is 0.
Distinct natural numbers have distinct successors: if a ≠ b, then S(a) ≠ S(b).
You need at least the successor axiom. N = {0 ,1 ,2 ,3 ,... ,N ,N+1, ..}
All natural numbers are defined by the above.

By definition there exists no biggest number unless you add an axiom saying
there is one but the newly defined set is not N.
