Armidalis, Terraustralia
The Capital of the Nova Angliaterrae state this city is home to 25000 people, the famous University of Nova Angliaterrae and the best art galleries anywhere on the Continent (Terra Australis Espiritu Sanctum).
The City like most of the rest of Nova Angliaterrae is generally bilingual in English and Scots Gaelic, although the University is trilingual with Welsh thrown in the mix (A lot of the students come from the Welsh speaking state of Nova Cambria to the southeast of Nova Angliaterrae) Also in the city is the Museum of the Prehistory of NA (Nova Angliaterrae) with possible Neolithic Aboriginal artefacts, with displays of how it is possible that they might have had 'Bedrock' type civilisation. (Some of the latest artefacts to be found include strange quartz crystals that show patterns when exposed to radio waves and little car like toys)

Background information
Terraustralia
Federated States of Terra Australis
Capital in Canberra
16 Million People
Liberal Government
Official Languages: Terraustralian English, (Terraustralian) Scottish Gaelic, (Terraustralian) Irish Gaelic, Terraustralian Welsh
Established in 1905 as a Federation of British Colonies
Britain became Federated instead of United as the Act of Union in 1707 was instead the Act of Federation, England and Scotland thus became partners in the Federation, with the Federal capital in Winchester. Wales becomes a partner later.
Aotearoa is the Confederated States of Aotearoa which is a Federation of Maori tribal regions and Anglo-Celtic post colonial states. Maori make up most of the population.
China: North is the Communist nation; south is a new Empire in the form of a Constitutional Monarchy.
The Empire of Arabia is a Secular Empire, despite Mecca being within its borders. Intolerance of (and discrimination against) Non-Islamic religions is officially banned. Sharia law is not practiced, not even in Mecca (or Medina). There are groups who want the Empire to become Theocratic though.
The Cold War between Tasmania and Aotearoa
This was caused by Tasmanians being overly zealous for more land as more immigrants came to their island. The independent Tasmanians then tried to take a portion of the then British protectorate/colony federation of New Zealand. This then lead to retaliation by Britain (really Maori and Colonists) on Tasmania. There has been distrust ever since…
The United States of America dominates the internet as that is where the internet started.
