The Federal Monarchy of Australland, more commonly known as Australland, was a micronation in Australia. It was founded on the 23rd April 2021. On the 25th April, the first census was held in Australland. It wasn't the best census but it still recorded the number of people in the country. Many people joined Australland when an operation was launched to gain population by offering a position in the national parliament. This worked for some people, including the doge Kristian of Australia. Australland was divided into 4 provinces: Parliament, Jamestown/Jeremyland, School and Bayside Provinces. There was a relationship between Australland and Oscarland, another micronation, in which a rugby game was played between the two micronations. The Doge of Australland is Kristian of Australia. He was chosen to be the Doge on the 23rd of April 2021. The Prime Minister Lachlan S. was the founding father of Australland and chose to be Prime Minister.
The country has been succeeded by Onopolissia in recent months.
Etymology
Australland was chosen as a combination of Australia and Land. In the referendum for the official name, some of the other names included Eumeralla, meaning valley of plenty in Gunditjmara language; New Australland, suggesting a similarity in names; and Bushlands, derived from the fact that the nation is mostly made up of bushland.
Politics and Government
The government was made up of 11 seats - Doge, P.M., Premier of Parliament Province, Premier of Jamestown/Jeremyland Province, Premier of School Province, Premier of Bayside Province, Minister for International Relations, Minister for the Environment, Minister for Armed Forces, Minister for Sports and the Minister for Education.
Law and order
Australland had no police, nor jails. The people were excluded from the nation if laws are broken. If a force was needed, a division of the armed forces will come in and help out. This is partially the cause of immigration.
