The basic concept is one where the western half of Australia gets colonized by Napoleonic France, and decided to go mega-nerdy and come up with the arrondissements within the five departments of the Kingdom of Outremer (now basically independent under the Bonapartes, much like Australia under the British crown).

But my knowledge of Australian geography is fairly limited ("Most of them live on the east coast, there's a giant desert in the middle and a few cities on the south and west"). So, I turn to you for help.

This is Outremer and its departments:



And this is my rough outline of the arrondisements

Armagnac - Marrapiqurinié (Port Hedland) (Armagnac = Gascoyne River)

3 Péninsule-de-Meslée - Port-Baudin (Port Lincoln) (= Eyre's Peninsula)
4 Golfe-Saint-Pierre - Port-Joséphine (Adelaide) (= St Vincent Gulf)
5 Montagnes-Anangou - Nagaroutdjaranie (Mount Woodroffe) (= NW South Australia)
6 Auralie - Carlcourlie (Kalgoorlie) (= SW South Australia)
Montagnes-Outremer - Maparntoue (Alice Springs) - Montagnes-Outremer = MacDonnell Ranges
1 Oulourou - Fort-Larrey (~Yulara) (= southern third)
2 Désert-Centrale - Maparntoue (= northern two thirds)
Waugal - Bourlou (Perth) - (Waugal = Swan River)

Anybody want to help Frenchify western Australia's landscape? :D (Apologies for the no-doubt-mangled Aborigine to French transliterations, btw)
