NewAustralia[]
NewAustralia is the new revolutionised and reformed nation of Australia. Technology deals were once a major part of the NewAustralian economy but now the nation owns a nuclear arsenal. 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. NewAustralia is home to many universities. Its biggest, the Great University, is the NewAustralian National University (NNU). NewAustralia has now implemented the Disaster Relief Agency, which has made the nation as ready as ever for any impending national disaster. The National Research Lab has assisted the Department of Health in researching new vaccines and medicines. The Space Program has allowed a decrease in the pricing of technology and a step forward in space exploration. NewAustralia currently owns a Manhattan Project which allows the nation to stockpile nuclear weapons. All citizens have access to the Internet which can be connected to via a private enterprise.

Revolution[]
PrimeMinisterEdward received an anonymous e-mail stating conclusive evidence that the Chief of the Defence Force was corrupt and that PrimeMinisterEdward had to act immediately.
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 Grand Army soldier tackled the Chief and arrested him. The revolution was complete.

A military training exercise in action
The NewAustralian Military consists of 4 main parts: the Grand Army (NAGA), the Army (NAA), the Air Force (NAAF) and the NewAustralia Navy (NAV). NSIA is an agency of its own but works closely with the armed forces. The Grand Army is mainly responsible for overseas deployments while the Army is responsible for the defence of NewAustralia. Satellites are in place so as to assist in the defence of NewAustralia, namely, the KCMS system. Missile defence systems are currently under construction across the nation. The military is led by Keegan Williams, the first Minister for Defence for NewAustralia. Operations, however, are overseen by General Christopher Fowler. Since the revolution, Williams has been using the military primarily for peacekeeping operations, especially in socialist and anti-government hot spots in Victoria. On the 19th of August, 2011 the first ever nuclear test in NewAustralia was completed following the creation of the Manhattan Project. NewAustralia has now begun to stockpile nuclear weapons. In the month of November, 2011, the Navy was added to operations in the NewAustralian Armed Forces.
