Australasia (Unitatis)

Australasia, officially the Commonwealth of Australasia, is a country comprising the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, the New Zealand archipelago, and various other small islands.

The British Empire founded the colony of New South Wales on the Australian continent and New Zealand in 1787. By 1859 four other colonies created from it. Australasia was formed when eight Oceanic colonies united and established a federal system in 1901. Other British colonies were transferred to Australasia in the late 20th century. Australasia gained complete independence from the British Empire in 1985.

Government
Australasia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, and is one of the two Commonwealth realms, meaning that it is ruled by the British monarchy.

Administrative divisions
Australasia is divided into nine states as well as five internal territories and nine external territories (including four that lack a permanent population).
