Scenario: Australian Empire

The First Greater Australian Empire (or simply the Australian Empire or Empire of Oz) is an empire that spans the entirety of Oceania encompassing Australasia,the  Indonesian archipelago, Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia and  some parts of the southern islands of the Phillipines. Formed in July 9th 2026  nine months after of the Australian Yellow Vest movement that overthrew the Australian Commonwealth and installed  the independent Grand Australian Republic, newly elected President  Clive Palmer  signed  Decree 67 or eventually known as the Emperor’s Decree, calling for  for the dissolution of the Australian National Congress and the end of the Australian  Republic “for security and stability  “  and the formation of the new First  Australian Empire  in the wake of the collapse of the US economy and the  rise of  an increasingly expansionist People’s Republic of China. Under Emperor Palmer vision of “uniting the pacific under a single banner” against jaws of the  ” Orwellian Bolsheivik nightmare”, the  Australian Empire was a  expansionist, militaristic state  dominating  almost the entirety of Oceania and parts of the pacific, putting it at odds of the PRC   and its ambitions of  replacing the vacuum left by the US as the sole superpower on earth, sparking the “Pacific Cold War”, with China and the Australian Empire fighting a war of subterfuge for dominance of the entire pacific.
