The **Australasian Confederation** is a system wide satellite government under the control of the British Empire and it is largely based-on the Hearts of Iron IV mod: Kaiserreich. It now controls a solar system known as the Australasian System with the capital on the planet, Australasian.

## History

### Original History

After the Central Powers won World War 1, the British Empire of Kaiserreich was falling apart as its mainland in Britain was seized by syndicalists. The royal family relocated in the Domain of Canada when everything fell and have been living in exile. While this was happening, the territories of Oceania started to reform yet still loyal to the crown. The revolution and rise of the British Union caused major disruptions in communication and a colonial seizure when the royal family fled. The country went through the Consolidation Resources Act with the "Anderson Protocol" under David Murray Anderson of the China Station and Charles Vyner Brooke that evacuated to Australia to provide military protection and humanitarian aid. The Australasian Station and British Overseas Fleet were merged into a single Australasian Fleet. A minor naval expansion was carried out in the 1920s, though much of the fleet remained mothballed. Yet the nation suffered an economic depression with a man name Stanley Bruce growing dissatisfied and called for radical measures to combat it.

### Psyche Multiverse

When the Kaiserreich mod launched, many played it and things got a bit...complicated, for lack of a better word. There are times when Australiasian Confederation became independent, remained in British control, won, lost, whatever the players do on their game play that make the canon history of Kaiserreich a bit more confusing. So, every nation of Kaiserreich that broke themselves off from the other complicated affairs and became primary versions of these nations.

### UN&C Booting and New Galaxy

Around the final months of 2020, the United Nations & Creations was formed. An alliance of multiple nations and the creations of humanity working together side by side. But only the official works. Anything that is considered modded, fan-made, or anything along there, are to be removed...by force. Because of this, the UN&C forced many non-official nations, including Australasian Confederation, from planets that other nations "officially" claim. This included everything made in Kaiserreich which also include such as the British Empire along with their territories. Even though there was a novel published in 2019 called, The People's Flag: The Union of Britain and the Kaiserreich, but the UN&C claimed that it is based-on a fan game and not a real work.

The Australasian Confederation landed on a solar system next to the Dominion of Canada, where the capital of the British Empire is in the Cascadia Galaxy along with many core systems. The Confederation claims the entire solar system that has six planets with eighteen moons.

## Solar Cartography

### Australia

Australia is the name of the sun of the Australasian solar system that is yellow in coloration.

### Ayer

Ayer is the first planet in the solar system that is similar to Mercury, but it is twice the size and the color of Mars. There are major strip mine operations on the planet that mine sulfur, iron, silicate rocks and many more along with the largest solar energy project in the solar system. There are also traces of iron-oxide that cover the planet that bake the planet. It is described as a hellhole as many colonists have to work in very hot conditions and use special air conditioning units.

### New Wales

New Wales is a tropical ocean planet with various islands and it is a vacation spot for tourists. There is a great deal of fishery businesses on this world with many kinds of fish dwell along with shellfish and crustaceans. The planet has three moons with aquacultures that make more edible fish at every station along with many vertical farms.

### Australasia

Australasia is the main planet and capital world of the entire confederacy. There are many environments on this world that are similar to Australia such as outback deserts, tropical rainforests, mangroves, salt marshes, tundras, ash mountains, shrublands, and many more in the four continents. The planet has only one moon name, Bahloo. The planet also has many creatures that are from Australia along with the megafauna there once was in Australia's past yet more diverse pending on the ecosystem.

### Zealandia

Zealandia is another water world with many islands that dot the beautiful blue marble. There is only one continent that is roughly the size of Spain and Portugal with many land corals that claimed much of the land along with the vegetation. The world has aquatic creatures from Star Wars and Subnautica that make the waters dangerous to those that go out in the deep. There is only two moons, Te Ika-a-Māui and Te Waipounamu.

### Dust Bowl

Dust Bowl is an uninhabitable planet with no moons with a great deal of craters along with a massive ring. As the name implies, it is nothing more than a dust bowl with strong atmospheric winds that blows dust around. The world is a mining world yet does have trouble with the strong winds that blow at random, making things a little difficult. The only real way to get people and supplies on and off world is by teleportation. The planet has no moons.

### Hurricane

Hurricane is a large hydrogen-helium gas giant with traces of ammonia and nitrogen that gives it a violet tint. However, the planet is completely covered by never ending storms that can tear ships apart without the proper shielding. The planet has ten moons with many cities that dot them that are used as trade hubs, refueling stations, smuggling operations, and more. The name of the moons are Trixie, Beverly, Joan, Alby, Enid, and Mabel.

## Government

The government of the Australasian Confederation is a confederation of worlds that is under the control of the British Empire. It is currently ruled over by the Prime Minister and the Governor-General.

## Economy

There are many economic opportunities in Australasia. These include agriculture, mining, and trading. There are plenty of locations where mining is accessible with Ayers being the biggest mining operation in the solar system. Iron and tin can be found there along with may other metals such as nickel, plagioclase, sulfide, magnesium olivine, pyroxene, hematite, aluminum and titanium. But some use automation to mine them due to the high intense heat yet the deeper mines are used for prison labor. Dust Bowl is also a major mining world with resources such as lead sulfide, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, uranium, tungsten, gold, marble, agate, opal, jasper and many more. Yet has strong winds that make it hard so most of the mining is automated. However, these strong and random winds help power the mines and some of the settlements of the world.

Zealandia, Australasia, and New Wales are the major agricultural centers along with some of the moons. Fish is a major export with many of them range from those that could be found in Australia to those that can be found in Star Wars, Subnautica, The Future is Wild, and Starbound along with vertical ocean farming for seaweed and shellfish. Australasia is where most of the other farming is done with various ecosystems for cereal grains, fruits, nuts, and cotton. There is some logging done in the solar system, but it is a minor industry.

## Society and Culture

Much of the society and culture is based-on Australia in the early 1900's along with New Zealand with some Aboriginal cultures but have some alien and mystical elements tossed in after the booting. The people just call themselves Aussies. There are some Australian-style cowboy elements known as "Bushmen" in many parts of the solar system. However, there are many aquatic themes in certain parts of the solar system.

## Military

The Australasian Confederation does have support from the British Empire yet it does have its own local military known as, the **Australasian Army**. It is comprised of volunteers who are expert hunters, master marksmanship, and champion bushmen. They do have a space navy that uses the same ships as the British Empire yet painted in white and blue.
