Operation Phoenix (What Little Remains)

Operation Phoenix was the Australian scheme to "restore order to the lawless and anarchic areas of the Earth" (i.e make the rest of the world an Australian puppet). The basis of this ambitious operation was that Australia was the only stable pre-Asteroid government to make it through Impact, and thus, in its eyes, making it the only civilized nation on Earth. Operation Phoenix formed the cornerstone of Australian foreign policy for a full 850 years, and it comtinued unchecked until the New American Federation (which was once an Australian pseudo-puppet) cut all ties with the Australian Government and started the "Phoney War".
