Republic of Australia (RA3236)

The Republic of Australia is a republican Commonwealth nation located on the Australian Continent.

History
The Republic of Australia was in the midst of the Chinese-Australian war when it was declared in 2020. At the time it controlled New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia, the Ayers Rock region and South East Queensland.

In 2022 China broke an armistice agreement and started the Siege Of Brisbane, which lasted five years. Australia received approximately 2 million personnel to defend the city and other areas of the country. In 2027 Australia managed to break the Brisbane Line, causing the Chinese troops to surrender.

It gained authority over the Spratly Islands in 2028 because of the Treaty of the Sunshine Coast. Approximate costs of damages done by the war exceeded the GDP of the country at the time, and as such America and China assisted the country become economically stable again. The casualties exceeded one million.

As a thank you for their efforts in the war, the United States gave Australia some experimental weapons that were put into use for the defence of the country.
