So I was at work and I had this odd brainstorm. It's a TV news bulletin. And it's of Australian M1 tanks and M113 armoured personnel carriers with soldiers on top riding past the camera as they head north "up the coast highway" into "Kintoland."

And apparently there have been rockets fired from this place, and they're going to invade it to take out the rockets but they know there's some armour in there: T-34/85s and BMP-1s. Older stuff that still might be dangerous if it's in the cities and is lucky.

And I was trying to figure this out. What did it mean? The nearest I could figure out is that it's sometime in the mid-90s or so, and there's an Aboriginal country on the continent of Australia that's at least sort of Communist. At least in side the Communist block.
They're not friends with Australia (the country), apparently, and aren't that well off economically though there's apparently a large population.

And I think that was the big change at the core of all this: there's a huge aboriginal population.

So...this is all completely unrealistic, but I thought I'd post it anyway. For shits and giggles. There was more, since I was bored I was fleshing out the names of the units and the "Kintesque" defense of their capital, but it's all a bit odd. I'm not one to make up countries out of whole cloth normally.

EDIT: I suppose the whole point of this ramble was what factors might have had to exist for there to be an independent or semi-autonomous Aboriginal state in Australia.
