What makes Chrinthania what it is? It is its diversity of people, of geography, of climate, and history that defines the nation's culture and its global policy. Through the immigration of various people across Chrinthania's history and the native populations that were here long before Europeans arrived, Chrinthania has a unique and exciting culture that drives the lives of its people. With such a wide variety of peoples, Chrinthania boasts an exotic blend of cuisines, religions, lifestyles, experiences, and cultural practices. The people of Chrinthania take pride in the diversity of their nation and have become one of the most accepting and tolerant people on the planet. It also creates an environment where people feel empowered to be themselves and lends itself to a forward-looking global policy.
The estimated population of Chrinthania is 23.4 million as of 1 December 2017. The most populous provinces are New South Wales, Victoria, and New Zealand. The largest city is Sydney, which is also the nation's capital. Melbourne is the nation's 2nd-largest city. The population of the large Australian continent, known as the mainland, is settled mostly between Adelaide in South Chrinthania through Melbourne and Sydney and up the eastern coastline towards Cairns and Townsville. New Guinea Island, the world's 2nd-largest island, is the next-largest populated landmass with around 9 million people in just shy of 400,000 square kilometers of land. Following closely behind are the two large islands of New Zealand. The remainder of Chrinthania is either small islands lightly populated or vast deserts with some of the lowest population densities in the world.
The majority of the Chrinthani mainland experiences a temperate climate for the most part. The northern areas of the mainland are mostly warm all the time while southern areas experience cool winters, but rarely does the temperature ever go below zero. The mountains of the Southeastern mainland do experience snow, which is great for skiing in the winter. The island of Tasmania also experiences snow in its higher peaks. New England's islands offer sharply contrasting weather depending on elevation, though most of New England experiences an oceanic climate similar to Great Britain with the four seasons being very distinct. Snowfall may happen in the high elevations, but it is rare to see now at sea level except in portions of the large southern island. The Northeastern Islands and Papua experience a tropical climate year round.
