NewAustralia

NewAustralia
NewAustralia is the new revolutionised and reformed nation of Australia. It enjoys moderate levels of technology because it is still a tech dealing partner. Tech deals have been one of the most vital pieces of the NewAustralian economy. While it is a peaceful nation, it still maintains a large military presence. IT has the ability to mobilise at a moments notice if necessary. The nation has access to a Stock Market and Social Security System. 98% of the population follow Christianity in some form due to the Great Temple. The Interstate System helps NewAustralia's economy substantially and the Great Monument has provided the nation with much support in their right-wing capitalist ideals.

Founding
In the days leading up to the NewAustralian revolution, the nation was in complete darkness and anarchy. PrimeMinisterEdward lead a highly-trained group of soldiers to storm Parliament House and claim it. They were met with fierce resistance from corrupt police officers who were eventually put to rest. Once the building was completely cleared the nation of NewAustralia was formed. In the days after the 26th of November, the nation grew and was quickly liberated.

Revolution
On the 24th of November Grand Army troops entered the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) from the north-east. The troops were ambushed when they arrived in the outer suburbs. Enemy Defence Force troops fired upon the Grand Army from the roof tops of many suburbian buildings. While the troops took cover PrimeMinisterEdward ordered artillery to fire on the Defence Force troops. As the Grand Army troops progressed they found many abandoned tanks which they used to defeat further resistance. As the Grand Army passed through Civic Circle and neared Parliament House, PrimeMinisterEdward realised that the Grand Army did not have enough resources to start a full assault. The Grand Army troops spent the night in abandoned buildings along Northbourne Avenue. PrimeMinisterEdward knew that the nearest Defence Force reinforcements were only two days away. During the night some troops found a large amount of scrap metal and much heavy weaponry with numerous amounts of ammunition in an abandoned warehouse. These were used to upgrade the weapons the Grand Army had and protect the tanks the possessed. These upgrades were made during the day and few attacks were made by the incumbent Defence Force.

An hour before day break on the 26th of November, Grand Army troops and tanks moved forwards toward Parliament House. It took the Grand Army three hours to break the fierce resistance they faced and gain access to Parliament. It took troops just twenty minutes to secure the House of Representatives. When troops arrived at the Upper House, the Senate, they met the incumbent Chief of Defence Force. Strapped to him was a load of dynamite. He was yelling out incoherent words and threatened to blow up the Senate if he was shot. After an hour and half of reasoning by PrimeMinisterEdward a sniper shot the Chief of the Defence Force straight through the head. The revolution was complete.

The Grand Army is mainly responsible for overseas deployments while the Army is responsible for the defence of NewAustralia.
