Republic of Australia is a nation in A World of War: World. It reformed itself into a republic since 2020 as to finally remove the last of the British influence and currently in a war against UK since December 2031 and invading Mozambwelawi since 2030 and is a major power of the game currently.

Pre-World at War (1788-2016)
Full details on history could be found on Wikipedia and information below may be inaccurate.

Before year 1788, Australia is mainly inhabited by Aboriginals. After James Cook explored Australia by land, the British colonised Australia in 1788 with convicts, military and settlers in the First Fleet with them settling in Botany Bay. Later, explorers had explored Australia between 18th century to middle 19th century century by ship.

With the British colonising Australia, the local people are reduced overtime due to diseases that they are not immune to and battles against them. Australia also became an immigration place, especially the Chinese and other Asian people during a gold rush, as well as other Europeans. By the end 19th century, the British had essentially claimed whole Australia and nationalism for Australia also rose during that time.

In 1901, a federation is established with colonies and Australia outlaws Asian immigrants to live in Australia (except those currently in) until 1960s. During World War I, many men from Australia went to Gallipoli and later participated the Battle of the Somme. The battle in Gallipoli became well-known to Australia and New Zealand for a century now. After WWI, Australia had obtained German colonies in New Guinea. During WWII, Australia had aided support in the European theatre partially in WWII's last years and in the Pacific theatre. Migration to Australia boomed after that time, due to war given to Europe, many European migrants went to Australia at numbers of millions.

Rights for indigenous people and women started to become more equal as male citizens do in late 20th century. During that time, Australia took part in some proxy wars during the Cold War such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War. In the 21st century, practically nothing happened in Australia currently apart from politics in OTL.

Fall of Commonwealth and Parke (2016-2020)
Australia has separated from the Commonwealth of Nations in 2016 and since major organisations such as the UN collapsed due to conflicts, Australia saw the chance to reunite New Zealand as it should be again. In 2017, prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and the current parliament was overthrown by many revolutionaries who seek to remove the last British influence. After this, president Frank Parke took over the government and moved the capital to Sydney again.

During that period, New Zealand is annexed at May 2017. A pursuing Isolation policy made by Parke himself and his force on his own senate and parliament is enforced. Alliances are dissolved from this result, embassies are still operating but not funded well. However this policy still allows a globalised type of economy and freedom, meaning it won't affect anything but intervention.

Between 2017 to 2020, Australia has basically done nothing but isolating themselves what they call the "Period of Separation". It also risks itself to become NPC in map game terms. Until 2020, Jonathan Kadenzies took over the government by election (four years; technically three days) and then changed election laws to allow leader to reign until death.

Kadenzies (2020-2029)
During Kadenzie's term, the Australian Agency for Astrology (AAA) (later renamed to simply the Oceanian Space Programme [OSP]) is established with a group of scientists. Satellites are now sent up a lot

Provinces
They are divided into territories and provinces. Officially, the rest of Oceania is de jure part of Australia, but Madagascar is held as colony not as part of it.

Largest Cities
''Uncertain yet, but Australia is nearly not involved in major wars in Europe and Asia so it could be estimated to be larger than the rest of other countries that are nuked or at war, below are estimates as predicted by EthanKoenigsberg in some biased view and these cities are mostly in urban agglomeration. The list also includes their colonies as of 2029''
