Nation name: The Commonwealth of Australia
Leader: King George V, Australian Prime Minister Andrew Fisher (The Brits have some control over us)
Form of Government: Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy
Alignment: Neutral, but can go into Entente if UK tells them to
Allies At The Time: The UK, France, the US, and basically the rest of the entente (there was no list, I really don't know)
Population: 4,820,172
Military numbers: 241,008? Or do you have to put percent? In that case, 2.5.
Flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_ ... (converted).svg
National emblem/Coat of arms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_ ... tralia.svg
Rules: Yes.

Also: I don't get why Australia is owned by the Brits on the map! They got their independence in 1901!

Nope, they were merely a federation of autonomous colonies, they weren't even a dominion yet (not til 1907), Australia wasn't effectively independent until it ratified the 1931 Statute of Westminster in 1942, and it became completely independent only after the Australia Act of 1986 which end all legislative links with the British Parliament.

So yeah, you're gonna be a legal member of the British Empire still buddy.

Also OP, recolor Eritrea....it's an Italian colony, not a British one.

No, you are not being a Caliphate, even if they were capable of it.

They were literally a caliphate. Mehmed V was a caliph.

WHAT?!?!?!!?!!??!!?!!? REVOLUTION TIME! JK. I demand better terms from the UK. Or else I shall secede. Or not.. Or maybe yes... Who's the British guy here?

I declared independence in 1912. All I need is to go to Germany's, Italy's, and Austria-Hungary's doorstep asking to accept me.

[Marsisian]

I should secede from the British Empire. The US did that, and that wasn't hard. The UK is probably gonna allow my independence. What's the difference anyway? I'm still in an alliance with them, and good allies too. Also, they already have a huge empire. (Which they lost after ww2) So what is the matter here?

Okay, but you still need to edit and realize that you are in the same position as Kosovo today.

uh, Japan would have been allies with Britain during this time period, not the US.

Also, Canada, remember you are still legally a member of the British Empire. You may want to read up on the extent of Canadian autonomy prior to the 1931 Statute of Westminster.

Edited.

Yes you'd be a dominion at this point, you and Canada are pretty much in the same position. In foreign affairs you both would have to ask the British government to speak on your behalf and to legislate for you in certain areas.

I should secede from the British Empire. The US did that, and that wasn't hard.

That'd be incredibly unrealistic, there'd be no real causus belli. Unless the player of the UK fucks up his relationship with the dominions badly (like by infringing on their autonomy) you'd have popular support against your government.

I did edit, didn't you see my new application? And I realize that I'm like Kosovo.

Yay, now in the map, does Albania have the same territory it has today?

[Marsisian]

Wait. Canada is a different color on the map from the UK so...if he's a different color, why aren't I a different color? I have semi-autonomy, like Canada. Me and Canada are both dominions.

Being a semi-autonomous region of another player's country can get very interesting. I've done it before and you can toy around with alot of things. A lot of what the dominions could and couldn't do was a huge gray area, as they straddled the fine line between being nations in their own right and being self governing subjects of the British Empire.
