The Yankee Dominion: A Map and World Building Project

I think that Italians would rather move to another Romance-language Catholic country than a Germanic-language Protestant one. Many settlers in French Algeria were Italian, and millions of Italians emigrated from Italy to Brazil and Argentina. I also think that Greeks and Arab Christians would head to French Australia.
In Dutch Australia I could see a large German and Scandinavian population (Germanic-language Protestants, although Southern Germans are Catholics).

That is true, if the immigration is early enough (when Italy was regional) i think it could be very easy. Arab Christians i could see. Greeks is possible too I guess.

edit: also noticed Vietnam (or that area) is French. I could certainly see a lot of immigration from there

Something like 15 million Italians emigrated in the time between Italian unification and WW1, and at least some of them would go to French Australia.

I'd say a healthy amount would now that i think about it. Both do have a lot of similarities. I was thinking about OTL and how many moved to Melbourne but in truth, maybe more move to French Australia that the British one (especially if both are about equal economically in this timeline).

My guess as to how French Australia would be as of AD 2018.

Republic of Antipodea (French: République de l'Antipodée)
Capital (and largest city): Port Napoléon (OTL Redcliffe, QLD)
Population: 8.5 Million
Languages: French (official), Antipodean Creole (commonly used), Italian (large Italian population in Antipodea)
Ethnicity: 63% White (largely of French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Arab Christian descent), 23% Asian (Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese etc.), 6% Mixed Race (largely Eurasian), 9% Other (Aboriginal, Melanesian, Black African, Arab Muslim etc.)
Economy: Approx. 400 Billion USD/47,000 USD Per Capita
Currency: Antipodean Franc
Economic Sectors: Mining, Agriculture, Tourism, Services, Trade etc.
Religion: 60% Christian (mainly Catholic), 33% Irreligious, 7% Other (Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist etc.)

never thought i'd see Redcliffe as the metropolitan heart of anything lol

edit: 35k per capita would make it poorer than otl Aus and even France which is interesting. Would have thought it would make the 45-50k region but either way.

The economy was dependent on cash crops up until post WW2, which is why it's so poor (relatively). Today, things are going better, with a strong mining industry and tourism industry (honeymoon central).
EDIT: I retroactively changed it to 400 Billion USD instead of 300 Billion, which raises the GDP per capita from 35,000 USD to 47,000.

Smething to not is that Napoleon, at least how I imagined it is remembered in France as a tragic figure, great for France as their President-in-Perpetuity, but then became an enemy of the nation and basically a rebel during the 100 days. So there is still a little Napoleonic revanchist cult, but I imagine its confined to the army rather then the general public.
