Any references to France or French wouldn’t be relevant as they’re Anglois, like you. As Hypron said, way less of a Irish-Scottish influence/immigration for obvious reasons.
There would be no grand chief of the aboriginals; they are not a unified nation, but over 200 different tribes pre-settlement. You’d more likely have a council of elders that send a representative, but they wouldn’t be considered a grand chief. Similar thing for the Māori, but unsure on the makeup of their social structures
Otherwise looks pretty good to me

The idea is that the “grand chief” is elected or chosen by a council of elders as the representative of the Aboriginal people. The Māori actually have a “king” irl due to the Māori King Movement. The marines are also more closely based on the, irl, UK Royal Marines. As for the French thing, my understanding is that “France” or at least ethnic French were still a thing just inside the Anglois kingdom similar to irl Wales or Scotland. My idea is that New Caledonia is just a place that a large amount of these ethnic French settled and where a radical French group formed.

Also, I was under the impression that SASR was the only active IRL tier one special forces units in irl Australia?

Technically Archduke is just a higher Grand Duke in precedence without being a Prince. And Anglois is continental in this timeline. But, I’m willing to just change it if requested.

Nation Name - United Kingdom of Australasia / Australasia
Capital - Canberra
Type of Government - Federal Semi-Constitutional Executive Parliamentary Monarchy
The Government of Australasia is split into the traditional three branches.

The Executive: The Executive branch is headed by the King, who also is the Grand Duke of Australia, who has powers similar to that of the IRL French Presidency in that he is in charge of the armed forces, security, foreign relations, can sign executive orders (called Royal Orders, although these can be overturned by a majority of both houses of the legislature.), appoints the Prime Minister (In practice this is the leader of the majority party/coalition but there is no legal obligation to do this), chairs the Council of Ministers with the PM as co-chair, and is nominally in charge of the various departments and agencies of the Kingdom although most running of day to day affairs is handled by the Council of Ministers who report to the Prime Minister who, if necessary or requested, reports to the King.

The other part of the Executive branch is the aforementioned Council of Ministers which is comprised of the various Cabinet Ministers of the Government who run the various Ministries of Australasia, the Prime Minister, The Māori Chief, Grand Cheif of the Aboriginals, Grand Chief of the Torres Strait Islanders, and Senior Royals. The Council of Ministers is mostly a place for discussion and the airing of issues however there is some authority given to it such as a review of government policy.

The Legislature: The Legislature of the Kingdom is made up of the House of Representatives (lower house) and the Senate which together form the Parliament. In addition to this, the Cabinet occupies a weird status as it is primarily an organ of the legislature but it also has some oversight from the executive invested in the King's relatively strong direct control over the various ministries, departments, and agencies.

Misc: Australasia is also divided into three archduchies those being the Archduchy of Australia, the Archduchy of New Zealand, and the Archduchy of Papua New Guinea. Each Archduchy has an Archduke or Archduchess in addition to their own parliament. The only exception to this is New Caledonia which is a semi-autonomous entity with its own parliament.

Major foreign military suppliers [If Applicable] -
Columbia, UAK, Germany

Extra military information -
The Australasian military includes a dedicated Marine Corps, the Australasian Royal Marine Corps, that is subordinate to the Department of the Navy. This force is 7,500 strong with a reserve of 1,000 and modeled after the IRL Royal Marines/US Marines. There is also a 500 strong Tier One Special Forces Unit called the Royal Marine Raider Force.

The Navy also includes its own special forces modeled after the Special Boat Service of the IRL UK.

The Australasian Guardsmen serve in a territorial defense role and are only on duty when activated in rare occasions.

The Australasian military is much higher of a priority than IRL and has a larger naval focus owing to the perceived lack of commitment from the UAK or Columbia when it comes to the South Pacific region. In addition, the military enjoys a larger domestic arms industry that produces more domestic military gear including small arms and infantry equipment.

Australasia has also started fielding its domestically designed and produced MBT, the Wombat.

The Australasian Air Force and Navy also field a limited number of F-35A and F-35B aircraft purchased from Columbia.

GDP - 1.8 Trillion USD
Currency - Australasian Dollar
Major import/export partners -
UAK, Japan, China, India, Germany, Columbia

Public Goals -
Preserve and promote stability and peace in the Asia-Pacific region and defend the world from communism and national socialism.

Private Goals -
Ensure the continued Australasian hegemony over the South Pacific region. Hit $2 trillion USD GDP by 2024.

Major Domestic Issues -
Historic minority discontent, refugee crisis coming from Southeast Asia seeking a better quality of life.

Major Foreign Issues -
Threat from the USSR and China.

History -

Founding:
In 1901, John Adrian Louis Hope became the first Governor-General of Australasia following the federation on the various colonies in the region. Then, in 1918, following the end of the First World War and riding on a high tide of nationalism, Australasia successfully petitioned to become a Principality under the British Crown with Hope becoming the first Grand Prince of Australasia and assuming more direct executive powers akin to the American President. Following World War 2, another rise in nationalism in Australasia led to the Parliament and Grand Prince petitioning the UAK to allow Australasia to become a fully independent Kingdom while remaining in the Commonwealth which was granted.

1950: King John I dies of old age and is succeeded by his son the now King Victor I.

1962: King Victor I dies of old age and is succeeded by his son the now King Charles I.

1972: Australasia opens it first Nuclear Power Plant outside of Perth.

1980: Labor comes to power for the first time in Australasian history.

1984: A low level insurgency starts in New Caledonia by French speaking nationalists.

1985: As the insurgency grows, blame is leveled at Labor who are forced from power in a snap election losing to the Liberal-United Australasian coalition.

1990: King Charles I dies of old age and is succeeded by his son the now King Victor II.

2014: The insurgency in New Caledonia comes to an end officially as the Mouvement pour l'indépendance and Australasian government sign a peace deal seeing New Caledonia given its own parliament separate from the New Zealand one it was previously under. Later that same year, Australasia completes its first domestic manned space flight when Angus Goodwin, Martha Lewis, and Dennis Rondoù successfully enter space.

2020: While on a tour of New Caledonia, King Victor II is assassinated by a radical French separatist at a public dinner. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, 22 year old Alexander, becomes the new King.

Fair enough the Grand Chief and King stuff. Didn't you call it the Royal Marine Corps? The RM don't use the Corps at the end.
SASR isn't the only active IRL special forces unit, but there's room to use other names from WW2, etc. For example there's 1st and 2nd Commando Regiments, the Clearance Diving Branch of the RAN, the Special Operations Engineer Regiment and the Special Operations Logistics Squadron (Which are very cool and you should look them up)

I'm really tired of this dead horse-beating.

A: As I said, up your population a bit around 105 million makes sense for Germany in this timeline and is needed if you want a large military.

- 80 HIMARS (As missile launch platforms, strongly doubt Germany would have access to Iskanders as they're Comintern Tech)
- 260 M270 MRLS
- 52 MIM-104 Mobile SAM Systems - 12 Batteries, their high range lets them cover a wide area, 160 km against aircraft and 20 km against ballistic missiles, you only need like three to cover the eastern border.
- 120 Eurocopter Tiger gunships.

History - In the following months after the First Great War, Germany begins to slightly demilitarize, while pushing more funding toward military research and training, so that the Imperial Military, while smaller, would still remain dominant when the 1920 Treaty of Berlin (which had ended the war) took effect. The government- despite warnings from the Kaiser and his advisers- decided to focus on heavily punishing the losers in the Treaty, instead of helping stabilize them and stabilize Germany. Despite this, many domestic economic reforms took place during the 1920s and the decade was a prosperous one. However, at midnight on the 31st of December, 1929, the stock markets finally crashed, plunging the world into economic chaos over the next few months. The nation was in shock, and it fell to the Kaiser to regain control- which he did in a matter of six years. By late 1934, things were starting to ease back to normal. But the normality wouldn't last. In 1935, a small pro-communist riot on the northwest coastline turned into a full-scale revolution. The Imperial Military was called in to stop it. Officially, the revolution ended by 1937, but sparse fighting between the communist insurgents and the Imperial Military lasted until September 1st, 1940, when Polish troops crossed the border after repeated demands to recognize the communists as independent of Germany.

The Second Great War was as close to a catastrophe for Germany- as close as one could be without losing the war, that is. The first few weeks of the war resulted in the Imperial Military rapidly mobilizing before clashing into the approaching Polish and Soviet forces. The Entente was called in around a week later, and Germany began pushing the communists back to the pre-war border. The war then became a bloody stalemate- much like the early parts of the First Great War- despite the tanks and aircraft among other technological advancements. In order to break the stalemate, Kaiser Wilhelm III ordered the construction of several new types of weapons and vehicles- the Fi 103 and A4 missiles, the Panzer VIII supertank, Type XXI submarine and the ten Bismarck-class battleships, and the Me-262 jet fighter and H.XVIII jet bomber. The Fi 103 and the A4 both saw service around 1942, the Me-262 and H.XVIII around 1943 and late 1944 respectively, and the Bismarck-class and Type XXI in 1940 and 1944. The Panzer VIII arrived too late in the war- in late 1945- to be of much wartime use, but was mass produced until 1960 and modernized versions remain in the reserve in limited numbers. In addition to boosting the German military industry, the war boosted the German economy higher than Pre-Depression levels, as well as providing the public with newer inventions such as the radio and television.

The Cold War was a major victory for Germany, the Entente, and Columbia, as there were many important events that made it such. In 1947, Germany powered up the world’s first nuclear power reactor, which produced an output of 5 MW. In 1955, Germany detonated the world’s first nuclear weapon- a 50-kiloton fission device- in the German Congo. The Space Race- while with many Soviet victories- was won by both Columbia and Germany when the joint mission between the two (Apollo 11 and 12) landed on the moon together on July 20th, 1969. The economy of Germany increased greatly during the Cold War, with improvements to infrastructure and transportation. The railway system was improved, with bullet trains replacing most of the conventional ones. Nuclear power in Germany became quite prevalent, with 1/3 of Germany being powered by nuclear power plants by 1985.

However, after 1985, things began to fall apart in Germany. In late 1986, the Danube Nuclear Power Station- one of the largest in Europe at the time suffered a record-breaking 4-reactor meltdown due to construction flaws combined with coolant pipe clogging, but disaster was narrowly avoided due to the safety features of the plant's reactors and the workers who worked there. The excessive military spending began to cripple the German economy by 1990 and so demilitarization began. While having a significant effect on the economy, the military was not fully reduced to its current point until 2015.

History -

The Birth of the Republic - Before the 2nd Sino-Japanese War, the country that stood the highest chance to unite China was the Republic of China under the Kuomintang. At first, it was a centrist political umbrella movement encompassing both right and left-wing camps allowing it to make ties with the Columbia, the Entente, and the Soviet Union. Founded by Sun Yet-Sen and succeeded by Chiang Kai-Shek, the KMT sought to reunite China from the feuding warlords. Tibet was the last nation to submit to KMT rule in January of 1937 after the leader was intimidated by the massive NRA presence on his border. Because the ROC was the largest contender for legitimacy and the KMT had many socialist and communist elements, it became a hotspot for Russian Bolsheviks who were expelled from the Bolshevik Party after Bukharin succeeded Lenin. One such Bolshevik was Leon Trotsky, a bookworm and experienced military man, and Joseph Stalin, a once-rising star within the Soviet Union.

Because of the budding friendship with Trotsky and the patronage of left-leaning literature and art, Chiang Kai-Shek earned himself the nickname “Red Protector” despite being a traditionalist with no patience for communist dogma. While the Sino-German Agreement did produce German equipment and training to the fledgling NRA, it was Leon Trotsky who completely reinvented the KMT army into a truly fearsome force to be reckoned with. Stalin, in comparison, was quickly aligned with Dai Li, despite the latter being an admirer of Prussian militarism, before being recruited as an agent of the Juntong.

The unexpected happened as Chiang Kai-Shek purged the right-wing elements of the KMT in the middle of a Northern Expedition to subjugate Ma Clique. No one could decisively pinpoint the exact reason as Chiang wasn’t a communist devotee himself. Indeed, Western scholars debated that the opposite was supposed to happen while Chinese scholars explained that it was Chiang’s close friendships with Mao and Trotsky against the distant relationship with the Right Wing KMT members that forced the purge to secure Chiang’s own power. Whatever the case, Red Terror descended the streets as communists and socialists targeted Chinese who had fascist sympathies. Estimated 30,000 Chinese were executed for their monarchist or "unpatriotic" views.

The most notable person spared from the purge was Dai Li, much to the horror of Mao Zedong. Mao incidentally warned Chiang that “Dai Li would use our colors to paint fascism red!” and pleaded with him to purge Dai Lee as well. However, Chiang refused as the “Chinese Yagoda” proved himself invaluable to the KMT due to his extensive spy network throughout China, going as far as Korea and Taiwan. With the unexpected death of Kang Sheng, it was only a matter of time before Mao’s words be proven true.

By 1937, the ROC had already gained an international reputation as a “red” state pitted against an ultra-militarist nation of Japan. The Eight Years of Resistance, as taught in Chinese schools, was harsh, brutal, and grueling as tens of millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians died to the Samurai. But at the darkest hour did the KMT shine its brightest as the labor of Dai Lee, Mao Zedong, and Leon Trotsky borne fruit. Even when Japan had superior technology, it did not have the manpower to fully conquer China and so it engaged in an unwinnable war of attrition as the constant harassment of communist guerrillas made sure that Japan bled for every piece of land taken.

When Columbia brought war to Japan in 1941, the ROC finally took the initiative and launched a massive offensive to liberate as much territory as possible. The NRA finally overran the worn-down Japanese soldiers and marched all the way to Manchuria. Despite Japan insisting on a fight, having been inspired by Columbia bowing out of the war in 1944, their navy was summarily sunk to the bottom of the Pacific, and their army completely destroyed in China. The threat of Soviet intervention eventually force Japan to face reality and accept defeat.

Aall Chinese territory occupied by Japan, such as Taiwan, was returned.

The Gang of Four - After Chiang's untimely passing in 1947, with many Chinese communists blaming Columbia or the Entente for foul play, the KMT was deeply divided between the rival cliques. Not wanting to bring ruin to their hard-won nation, Mao Zedong, Dai Li, Wang Jingwei, and T.V. Soong joined together to form a government, though outwardly united they secretly sought to undermine each other. The Gang of Four's first step was drawing closer relations with the Soviet Union, relying on Russian industrial expertise and equipment to rebuild and revitalize China, although Dai Li suggested requesting Columbian support as well. But given the cold relationship the Chinese and the Columbians had with each other, it was foolish for now.

Of all the ambitions the four men had against each other, Dai Li proved to be the most ruthless, and by the end of 1948, he eventually seize control. Mao Zedong, Wang Jingwei, and T.V. Soong were soon executed in what would be called the "Trial of Fifty-Five." The Soviet Union looked on with mild amusement as some of the most ardent communists got purged for "reactionary thought" and "secret collaboration with the Japanese." Dai Li, using this maneuver, earned the ROC membership into the Comintern, granting him even more material and money to build his vision of China.

The Chinese Yagoda - Whether or not, Moscow knew of Dai Li's true ideology, it became rather clear that his brand of communism was completely unorthodox to Bukharinism. The Cultural Revolution would see many artifacts of Imperial China taken down and placed into state museums instead of burned as Dai Li saw himself fulfilling Chiang's traditionalist views. Tens of millions of Chinese peasants were affected by the rapid industrialization of Dai Li's Five Year Plan but to the Red Emperor, it was acceptable losses to bring China into the forefront. The Juntong became omnipresent during his reign, cracking down on dissidents with frightening efficiency, surpassing even the NKVD in Russia while Dai Li pushed hard to create his army with a state.

Yet, despite Moscow's optimism of Dai Li's China, the cracks were beginning to show in the late 50s as there was a real fear of the ROC surpassing the Soviet Union not just economically but militarily. Chinese militarism saw its army swell much to the alarm of the Soviet high command. The catalyst for the Sino-Soviet Split occurred in 1966 when Dai Li began demanding for Mongolia to return to Chinese rule. The Soviets refused as they grew paranoid of China's power. This prompted Dai Li to formerly withdrew from the Comintern and publically announce a "new brand of socialism" separate from Moscow's orthodoxy. National Socialism, as detailed by Dai Li, was his brand of radical ideology that combined Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy (to appeal to the masses) and ultranationalism (to fulfill his vision of Prussian militarism).

As opposed to destroying Bukharinism, Dai Li was attempting to hijack the communist movement by using his agents to promote National Socialism into communist parties throughout Asia, dividing the communist world even further. Never a believer in Marxism, Dai Li began initiating the second phase of his agenda: the Great Leap Foward.

The House of the Rising Sun - Dai Li's economic reforms of the Great Leap Forward in the late sixties to late seventies would see the country open up to Western Capitalism. He justified the move by promising that Capitalism would end "eventually" and that consorting with Columbia and the Entente was a necessary evil to give China that boost in power. Sure enough, it was. The GDP shot like a rocket as all the foreign investment into Special Economic Sectors saw money pouring in like a waterfall. By the time Dai Li died in 1987, China's economy was quickly catching up to the Soviet's and by 2000, completely surpassing the entire combined wealth of the Comintern. As the 2nd largest economy in the world, China's neighbors would be sucked in from the immense pressure as Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Burma fell under the Chinese sphere. Dai Li's successors would publically proclaim this to be evidence that National Socialism was the next step in Communist evolution towards a classless society despite the evidence of class division still apparent.

Unless the OP objects, I will go ahead and accept this.

Soong were soon executed in what would be called the "Trial of Fifty-Five." The Soviet Union looked on with mild amusement as some of the most ardent communists got purged for "reactionary thought" and "secret collaboration with the Japanese." Dai Li, using this maneuver, earned the ROC membership into the Comintern, granting him even more material and money to build his vision of China.

The Chinese Yagoda - Whether or not, Moscow knew of Dai Li's true ideology, it became rather clear that his brand of communism was completely unorthodox to Bukharinism. The Cultural Revolution would see many artifacts of Imperial China taken down and placed into state museums instead of burned as Dai Li saw himself fulfilling Chiang's traditionalist views. Tens of millions of Chinese peasants were affected by the rapid industrialization of Dai Li's Five Year Plan but to the Red Emperor, it was acceptable losses to bring China into the forefront. The Juntong became omnipresent during his reign, cracking down on dissidents with frightening efficiency, surpassing even the NKVD in Russia while Dai Li pushed hard to create his army with a state.

Yet, despite Moscow's optimism of Dai Li's China, the cracks were beginning to show in the late 50s as there was a real fear of the ROC surpassing the Soviet Union not just economically but militarily. Chinese militarism saw its army swell much to the alarm of the Soviet high command. The catalyst for the Sino-Soviet Split occurred in 1966 when Dai Li began demanding for Mongolia to return to Chinese rule. The Soviets refused as they grew paranoid of China's power. This prompted Dai Li to formerly withdrew from the Comintern and publically announce a "new brand of socialism" separate from Moscow's orthodoxy. National Socialism, as detailed by Dai Li, was his brand of radical ideology that combined Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy (to appeal to the masses) and ultranationalism (to fulfill his vision of Prussian militarism).

As opposed to destroying Bukharinism, Dai Li was attempting to hijack the communist movement by using his agents to promote National Socialism into communist parties throughout Asia, dividing the communist world even further. Never a believer in Marxism, Dai Li began initiating the second phase of his agenda: the Great Leap Foward.

The House of the Rising Sun - Dai Li's economic reforms of the Great Leap Forward in the late sixties to late seventies would see the country open up to Western Capitalism. He justified the move by promising that Capitalism would end "eventually" and that consorting with Columbia and the Entente was a necessary evil to give China that boost in power. Sure enough, it was. The GDP shot like a rocket as all the foreign investment into Special Economic Sectors saw money pouring in like a waterfall. By the time Dai Li died in 1987, China's economy was quickly catching up to the Soviet's and by 2000, completely surpassing the entire combined wealth of the Comintern. As the 2nd largest economy in the world, China's neighbors would be sucked in from the immense pressure as Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Burma fell under the Chinese sphere. Dai Li's successors would publically proclaim this to be evidence that National Socialism was the next step in Communist evolution towards a classless society despite the evidence of class division still apparent.

Unless the OP objects, I will go ahead and accept this.


"Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Burma fell under the Chinese sphere."

Just this little things I mentioned earlier. Korea is in the Japanese sphere while Vietnam and Cambodia are part of the Comintern. The SCO is Pakistan, Laos, Burma and Thailand. Malaysia may be coming closer due to China's economic gravity and you can have some IC negotiations to have them join if you want.

Some mention of the Vietnam War, perhaps in relation to the Sino-Soviet split would also be appreciated :)

The Kaiser would send his highest condolences and some flowers.

Do you mind if I include those details in my post? I’m working on it, should be ready within 1-3 days.
