Australis

Overview
Australis features a hot climate in the north and a relatively temperate one in the south. It has only recently been discovered, and is girt by sea (specifically, the Ocean Orientalis).

Nature
Australis reportedly has very unique wildlife that is mostly exclusive to the continent. This includes kangaroos (originally known as "mutant rats" when discovered by the Exarchate), koalas, wombats, emus, and, according to the Royal Zoological Society of Humerland, some crazy guy named "Steve Irwin".

It has gum trees, and a rock in the middle called "Campbell's Rock". It is in the Humerlandish part but not far from the Fictian border. The native name for it is Lukathewondafoovyu, and it is near the town of Dijabringabeeralong.

Resources
Australis has rich deposits of iron, coal, and zinc, as well as gold and copper.

Political


The continent is overwhelmingly dominated by the Exarchate of Australis (which is a puppet state or autonomous territory of the Fictian Empire) in the western half of the continent and New South Crabenbourg in the eastern part. New Carthage previously controled territory in the continent's far south, until the Treaty of Easthumer. Deltasraki has coastal enclaves in the north and west, and Haluria owns a tiny island off the continent's east.

Other
Australis was satirised in G.H. Well's 1909 novel The Golden Soil with the nation Australia.
