The island-continent of Australia was first settled somewhere between 40,000 and 32,000 BC, by hunter-gatheres with spiritual values that acknowledged the sanctity of the Earth, as well as a developed oral culture. These people were the ancestors of the modern day Aboriginal peoples.

Colonization

In 1606, the Dutch explorer, Willem Janszoon, became the first European to sight the Australian continent. Later during that Century, the Dutch incorporated Northwestern Australia into their Empire, as New Holland. However, they made no attempts to settle up

on the area. In 1770, James Cook, a famed British navigator, mapped the eastern coasts of Australia and established the colony of New South Wales. The establishment of the colony lead to the creation of the first European settlement on the continent, Port Jackson.

The British continued to expand their claims throughout the continent, facing no resistance from other European powers and very little from the native people of the continent. Originally, many of the colonies established by Great Britain were penal colonies. As the British expanded, they came into more and more contact with the Aboriginal people. As the British population of the continent increased with new immigrants and prisoners, the Aboriginal population declined because of contact with European diseases, forced resettlement, and physical mistreatment by a portion of the European settlers.

World Wars and Transition

On the 1st of July, 1901, almost two-hundred thirty years after the original colonization of the continent by Britain, the seperate colonies were federated to create the Commonwealth of Australia, a dominion within the British Empire. By the time World War I erupted, Australia and a nearby dominion of similar standing within the British Empire, New Zealand, voluntarily formed the ANZACs (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps), to aid the Triple Entente throughout the War. Its battle in Gallipoli is considered by many to be a nation-defining moment for Australia. In 1931, the Statute of Westminster seperated Australia further from the British Empire, though still in its sphere of influence.

During World War II, Britain's shocking losses in Asia caused Australia to turn to the United States as its main ally. Australia, the United States, and New Zealand jointly formed a formal military alliance in 195, with the ANZUS Treaty. Australia has since participated, as a US ally, in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf Wars, and the War in Afghanistan. The Australia Act in the United Kingdom, during the 1980s ended the entirety of Britain's role in the governance of Australia, though the monarch of the United Kingdom is also the monarch of Australia.

Rise as a Pacific Power

In late 2007, a major political crisis occurred in Australia's northern neighbor, Indonesia. Eventually the crisis turned into an ethnic conflict, with massive scales of genocide all over the Indonesian archipelago. Under the auspices of the United Nations, Australia sent in a peacekeeping force to restore order and temporarily govern Indonesia while trying to form a coalition Indonesian government. After two years of being unable to get the various factions of the conflict to come to an agreement, the UN held a referendum in Indonesia, which revealed that an impressive 87 percent of the nation preferred the Australian governance to being controlled by either of the Indonesian factions. Indonesia and Australia were summarily merged in order to form the Commonwealth of Australonesia. Later that year, the New Zealand government opted to sign a Treaty of Free Association with Australonesia, making New Zealand an Australonesian territory, with a distinct cultural identity and limited self-autonomy. In 2011, Australonesia founded the Southern Hemisphere Development Community, an economic, military, and political alliance under Australonesia's auspices.

Administrative Divisions

Australia & New Zealand

Also known as Australonesia Proper, Australia & New Zealand is a federation of both Australia and New Zealand (as one would expect from the name). Together, they form the base of the expanding Australonesian Empire. Within the Empire, Australonesia Proper also has its own second-tier national government, lead by the Prime Minister. Under the regional government are third-tier governments. These include the New Zealand regions (Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, Manawatu-Wanganui, Marlborough, Nelson, Northland, Otago, Southland, Taranaki, Tasman, Waikato, Wellington, West Coast), Australia's states (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia), and Australia's two territories (Australonesian Capital Territory and Northern Territory).

New British Pacific Company

The New British Pacific Company is a company which was founded by Royal Charter. Its mission is to, under the Australonesian flag, administer several of the Empire's island colonies in the Pacific. It is lead, as a corporation, by a board of directors; having a monopoly on all the resources of its administrative regions and a place in Australonesia's stock market. Colonies which it administers include Macquarie Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Cook Islands, Heard Island, Niue, Cocos Islands, Tokelau, Chatham Island, Christmas Island, Coral Sea Islands, and McDonald Islands.

Crown Colony of Norfolk

The Crown Colony of Norfolk is a small, sparsely populated island considered a possession of the Australonesian Crown, and because of this is governed from the portfolio of the Australonesian Ministry of State for Royal Affairs, as opposed to the standard methods of government in Australonesian colonies and dependencies.

Indonesia

In 2009, a chaos-riddled Indonesia held a United Nations-sponsored referendum, stating that an overwhelming 87 percent of the Indonesian population desired to join Australia and form Australonesia. Later that year, the interim Indonesian government and the Australian government agreed to a Compact of Territorial Acquisition. All Indonesian land was ceded to Australia (soon to be Australonesia). Australonesia took up the duties of the former Indonesian government, administering the land. Currently, most Indonesians are not citizens of Australonesia. Most still use Indonesian passports and are, under Australonesian citizenship laws, Commonwealth Indonesian Citizen. They are generally afforded the same rights and responsibilities as Australonesian citizens, but do not have to pay taxes and do not recieve the right to vote in Australonesian parliamentary elections. Commonwealth Indonesian citizens can apply for, and immediately obtain, Australonesian citizenship, though most enjoy their current status.

Military

Australonesian Defense Force

The Australonesia Defence Force is the military force that is primarily responsible for the security of Australonesia proper and the surrounding immediate area, though components have been known to serve abroad. In the same manner of the old Australian Defence Force, its commander-in-chief is the Governor-General of Australonesia. It is composed of two main branches, the Royal Australonesian Land Force (RALF) and the Royal Australonesian Maritime Force (RAMF), as well as containing the Australonesian military reserve (RADF-R, Royal Australonesian Defense Force Reserve).

RALF

The Royal Australonesian Land Force is the army of the Australonesia Defence Force, which is comprised mainly of units of the old Royal Australian Army and Air Force, and bulked up by the remnants of the New Zealand Army. Land Force doctrine emphasizes quick movement and guerrilla tactics, so the core of the Land Force is light and motorized infantry, though armored and artillery support have been built up as well. Besides several special autonomous units, the Land Force is broken up into four Land Battle Groups. Land Battle Groups are further broken down into three Commands each. Every Command has two airborne light infantry regiments, one motorized infantry regiment, supported by armored battalions, artillery units, helicopter wings, and fighter wings. Additionally attached are logistics brigades, military police companies, military intelligence companies, engineer companies, and logistical plane wings.

The Current Status of the Royal Australonesian Land Force is as follows:

Other Units, outside the normal chain of command are:

Special Air Service Regiment
Airborne Ranger Regiment
Long-Range Reconnaissance Company
Special Operations Aviation Wing

RAMF

The Royal Australonesian Maritime Force is the naval branch of the Defence Force. Its primary components are the former Royal New Zealand Navy, the old Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and a small element of former Australian navy ships. The RAMF is generally considered a green-water navy, in that its capabilities are mainly defensive and its primary objective is to secure national waters, leaving the imperial forces to exhert power projection and other blue-water capabilities. As well as guarding the nation's exclusive economic and territorial waters, the Maritime Force also has a law enforcement role whilst at sea. RAMF is comprised of three fleets (Coral Fleet, Indian Fleet, South China Fleet), and the Australonesian Antarctic Maritime Group.In addition to the ships that they employ, each fleet has a compliment of naval commandos.

Coral Fleet:

4x Anzac Class Frigates
100x Moa Class Patrol Boats

RADF-R

The Royal Australonesian Defence Force Reserve is the body of the Defence Force that houses the reserves of both the RAMF and the RALF. Additionally, the Reserve is the official designation for all training courses and schools within the Defence Forces, so cadre would technically be part of the Reserve. The Reserve is divided first in terms of geography, then in service branch.

The skeleton of the reserve consists of the following:

Reserve Command Australia East
Reserve Command Australia West
Reserve Command Indonesia North
Reserve Command Indonesia South
Reserve Command New Zealand
Reserve Command Training Force

Imperial Military of Australonesia

The Imperial Military of Australonesia is the conglomerate of military branches that are tasked with the defense and security of colonies, royal commonwealths, and allies of the Empire, as well as long-term offensive action. Bypassing the traditional route of command in the old Australian Defence Force, the Imperial Military is commanded directly by the monarch. Unlike its homeland counterpart, the Imperial Military is composed of three combat branches, with each branch maintaining its own reserve and recruitment programs. These branches are the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy, and the Imperial Air Force.

Imperial Army

The Imperial Army is the army of the Imperial Military of Australonesia. It is divided into several command groups, generally based on geographic location or purpose, called armies. Armies are further divided into ten or more regiments, which comprise of four battalions. A battalion is broken down into four companies. Although companies can be further broken down, each comprises of about 200 soldiers.The Imperial Army originally began with the seperation of the Federation Guard Regiment from the RALF and has continued to expand since. The Federation Guard eventually grew into sixteen independent Guard regiments, which form today's Army of Guards, the core of the force. As whole regiments formed up from royal colonies, protectorates, and foreign volunteers, more regiments were tacked on to the Imperial Army and developed into their own armies. After several reforms, the Imperial Army now only consists of three armies, but with dramatic population growth and an imperial opinion on the rise, things may change soon. Royal Corps of Cavalry

Imperial Air Force

The Imperial Air Force is the air force branch of the Imperial Military. It was formed several years after the other two Imperial branches of the military, with the realization that, in order to be a true power, Australonesia would have to develop a capable, independently-operable air force. The IAF, commanded from Dochra Airfield, is divided into commands, responsible for a large geographic area; which are then broken down into stations, managing smaller areas. Within commands, planes are grouped into wings, and from there into squadrons. Each squadron is divided into two flights. Though wings generally stay within the same command, they are often transferred to different stations. The current standing, discounting logistics, of the IAF is as follows:

Australia East Command

3x Maritime Patrol Wing
5x Air Transport Wing
7x Fighter/Ground Attack Wing
3x Strategic Bomber Wing
1x Intelligence Operations Wing

Information Collection Bureau: IBC is the sister bureau of SIB and is structured and run in a similar manner, with the goal of collecting intelligence. The main difference between the two branches is that, while SIB mainly uses diplomatic channels, ICB does not and is a completely undercover organization.

Operational Affairs Directorate

Clandestine Activities Division: The CAD is ASIS' black ops group, made up of several hundred agents, most of them former SAS, Naval Commandoes, LRRecon, or Airborne Rangers. Officially, these men are known as 'Intelligence Activities Officers.' They work in small groups and generally have strong military training and knowledge of multiple foreign languages.

Political Stabilization Unit: The Political Stabilization Unit is the smallest sub-directorate level organization within ASIS. It is rumored to contain approximately thirty personnel, whose sole purpose is to assassinate enemies of the Commonwealth.

Australonesian Security Intelligence Organization

Criminal Investigative Research Center: The CIRC is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive crime labs. Although officially part of ASIO, CIRC often provides its expertise to other law enforcement and intelligence agencies from the nation and around the world.

Anti-Terrorist Unit: ATU is ASIO's main counter-terrorist task-force. It works primarily to prevent and disrupt domestic terrorism. ATU procures intelligence and information on terrorist activities within the nation and actively puts it to use.
