New South Wales

The Federation of New South Wales was a well established and rapidly growing nation on the Australasian continent, and was at one point the strongest and most influential nation in the region. The capital and largest city is Sydney, with significant population and commerce hubs also including Gladys Berejikland and New Island. The majority of the towns were located on the coast, however there was inward expansion throughout the outback. Many towns of New South Wales were formally part of the nations of Australasia and Eurolasia.
==History==
===Independence from Eurolasia===
After the nations of Australasia, Indonesia and Finland merged to form Eurolasia, many towns within the former nations did not endorse the decision. However, there were no major uprisings or revolts as the citizens were focused on the war against China. However, mere hours before a grand planned invasion of the Chinese mainland, the prime minister of the Australian sector Botgame resigned and left for Alaska. The new administration, formed mostly by representatives from Indonesia and Finland were against the war and cancelled the invasion. This greatly angered the Australians, and the new mayor of Sydney declared independence from Eurolasia, founding the nation of New South Wales.
 "Why does Sydney want independence? Well at the end of August, Prime Minister Botgame founded a nation - a nation built on the nationalism and pride its adherents possessed. Australasia, as it would come to be known as was an economic powerhouse, but as our population scattered across the world, a disorganised and busy government had its intention on war. And as other nations developed in prosperity, Australasia only weakened. As our PM took on more responsibilities, Australasia merged with our closest ally, bringing more confusion to a nation already in a state of disarray. Eurolasia focused on war, not its people, and the joyful nation we were all here to be excited about, no longer exists. I remember the days in which we couldn't stop thinking about the future of this nation - but now we have no longer got that enthusiasm. Sydney want's to not forget the hours put into our builds - but rather embrace it, and develop a new nation that is a regional powerhouse, built on the reasons we joined."  - President TheHippoOfDcoom
===Expansion===
Shortly after declaring independence, New South Wales incorporated Gladys Berejikland into the Federation. Plans for territorial expansion were then implemented. as both Sydney and Gladys Berejikland had few available chunks remaining, New South Wales took on an particular expansion scheme, in which selected members of towns would leave to form a separate town, and funds for land claiming would be supplied by the parent town.
The new town would then trust all members of the parent town, effectively incorporating the new town into the parent town. This scheme resulted in the creation of New Canberra, which is effectively part of Sydney. 
===Tasman - NSW siege war===
At 5:43pm on the 21th of September, an NSW militia was deployed and laid siege to the town of Tasmania. The siege was successful as none of the Tasmanians were online during the conflict.
 "the triumphant New South Wales Militia marched through the gates of Tasmania and heroically annihilated the non-existent Tasmanian resistance." - General OrphanSlayer6969
===Infrastructure Expansion===
On the 21th of September, the NSW parliament announced plans of a Hume Ice Highway and a Tasman Naval Route, the latter of which was completed later on the same day.
===Invasion of Hanover===
Prior to the conflict, the Republic of Hanover had established the colony of Ostdarwinia in Northern Australia. While New South Wales only claimed the east coast, Northern Australia was within it's sphere of influence. This greatly angered the regime of New South Wales.
 
On the 2nd of October, after hosting a "funeral" for the Religious deity of New South Wales "Gladys Berejiklian" in the city of Gladys Berejikland, a large Australian force of approx. 13 invaded the town of Hanover, capital of the Republic of Hanover. The invasion force immediately crushed the Hanoverians, and New South Wales only suffered 1 casualty from an accidental combat log. 
This event is still occurring.
=== War with China ===
==Claims==
New South Wales laid claim to all of Australia under its 'One Australia' policy along with New Zealand and other pacific islands. At the end of season one, it controlled most of Oceania.

== Ice Highway (Iceway) ==
The "Ice Highway" is infamous since the day it was invented. Minecraft players from around the globe use Ice Highway Systems to connect faraway places, creating a route which can take them there faster than ever before.
In New South Wales, we are Creating a Large, Ambitious and time / resource consuming Project. This is the "Ice Highway", or "Iceway". Below, is the Map of the Ice Highway Project:
