Okay!

Australia: Forgotten Down Under.

Australia is a parliamentary representative republic home to 35 million people, largely Caucasians but with a significant East Asian minority. The country is a pacifist and not a member of any major group or alliance.

Economically, Australia is dependent on trade between the AEAN and South America. This is because its location between East Asia and South America makes it and New Zealand one of the final remaining safe passages to ATO-controlled South America, making it an ideal trade stop. The country is reliant on this and a growing electronics industry spearheaded in the Southeast metropolitian region, which accounts for 17 million of Australia's total population.

Militarily, Australia has only a standing defence force. Its tiny force of 72,000 men is only in place to protect the country, and the country has no military obligations whatsoever. The country relies on a large naval and air force to defend its waters, which is supplied by Indonesia and the United States, both of whom have treaties with the country. The country has a military pact with New Zealand and several Oceanic islands.

Politically, Australian politics are extremly volatile. The country's political parties, the left-wing Libertarian Party and right-centre Centrist Party are relatively new, with the country having many independents; and its Prime Minister, the strongest position in the country, regularly changes.
