Australie, officially the Federal Republic of Australie, is a sovereign nation situated in the eastern half of the continent of Australia. Australie is bordered by Cygnia to the west, and a maritime border with Aotearoa to the east.
Australie was formed upon the collapse of the British Empire. The colony of New South Wales declared independence, but was absorbed into the new Federation of Australia, which comprised of most of Oceania. During the Australian rule, Dutch immigrants from the Netherlands arrived in the area, populating it with Dutch-speaking people. By 1970, the dominant language was Dutch.
Australie gained independence after Fascist Australis was defeated, and the continent split. New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania were incorporated into a Dutch government. During the "Australian Cold War", Cygnia and Australie proved o be the two major powers, outrivaling Communist Queensland, and eventually, defeating the other Australian states.
In 2005, Cygnia and Australie signed the Treaty of Darwin, which divided the Continent. Cygnia with the west, and Australie with the East.
