The Commonwealth of Australis was a short-lived predecessor state to the Unified Royal States of Australis.

The Commonwealth of Australis was predominantly enclaved within Western Australia.

Etymology

The name Australis is derived from the latin name Terra Australis, meaning Southern Land. It was the historical name for the hypothetical southern continent now known as Australia.

History

Australis was established in 2020 by five Perth teenagers – Daniel Hamilton, R.F., A.M., A.W. and C.A. The five claimed a 2032m2 Official Territory in the south west town of Karridale as Australis' first capital, and declared a Hereditary Pentarchy. X.M. was appointed as the first prime minister (2020).

On the 18th of April 2020, two of the five Pentarchy members left. R.F. was voted out by a 4/5 Pentarchy vote, for inactivity and failure to serve the nation as per the requirements for being in the Pentarchy. A.W. also left due to being unable to handle the pressure of the Pentarchy. These people were replaced by S.H. and C.O, who were decided from 4 applications to be the winners.

On the 6th of May 2020, the First Australissian Parliament was dissolved by the Pentarchy, in order to bring a political reform.

Military and Defence

Australis has three branches of defence:

The AFPD is responsible for maintaining law and order in the community. The Department of Internal Affairs has jurisdiction over the operations of the AFPD. It currently has 5 officers.

The Australissian Navy consists of one 'Barker' class Genesis Cuddy Cabin with a 250 hp engine. It is responsible for patrolling waters bordering Australis.

The Australissian Army is responsible for defending Australissian borders and assisting nearby nations with humanitarian aid or defence.

Australis Times

The Australis Times is the national news agency of Australis. It was founded on the 20th April 2020, with the goal of informing citizens and foreigners of political, cultural and other news within the nation. It has reported on many major issues and events within the Australissian community.

Citizenship

As of 20 April 2020, the nation has 28 citizens. Australissian citizenship can be applied for through the official website. The government asks that citizens residences become territory of Australis.
