Australia (Louisiana Revolution)

Australia, or the Australian Empire, is an oceanic nation situated in the south Pacific Ocean. It has a GDP of $1.706 trillion US dollars, making it the largest economy in the southern hemisphere. It has repeatedly ranked highly on the quality of life survey, lagging behind only a few other developed nations, and has a GDP per capita of 40,619.

It is a culturally diverse nation, although its religious beliefs are generally divided 50/50 between Sunni Islam and Roman Catholicism. The chief cultural groups are Louisianans, who tend to live in the western half of the nation, New Louisiana, Aboriginals, who are evenly spread throughout the nation, British colonists, and Indonesians who live in the territory of Papua New Guinea. Although the nation is a monarchy, all religions and cultures are equally tolerated, although Nazi/fascist ideals took hold briefly during World War II.

The history of Australia is both peaceful and bloody in equal measure, seeing as it sustained its economy through war with Indonesia for many years. This conflict is still ongoing, although in a very minimal fashion (airstrikes and the like are exchanged regularly).

Australia has contributed to the field of science in many ways, chiefly in medicines, oceanography, and astronomy, seeing as it is home to some of the most dangerous animals in the world. In terms of astronomy contributions, the Brisbane telescope, launched in the late 80s, has helped prove the existence of Hawking radiation, and the Sydney Underground Nuclear Collider (SUNC) was among the first in the world in provide direct evidence of the existence of dark matter.
