“I have a plan that will buy us time.”

“What is your plan capo?”

“You know those suicide bombers being used by the Hamas right?”

“Yes, what about them.”

“Well it isn’t about them, it about us using suicide bombers.”

“Okay, but how are suicide bombers going to buy us time from the enemies exactly?”

“Well I just realized this last night when I couldn’t sleep. I thought of a brilliant idea that I wished I had thought about beforehand.”

“Were going to use the autistic people for our doing.”

“But only the ones who are capable enough to do the job without being even aware of what is going on.”

“While we’re at it we might get plenty of idiots with Down Syndrome to help us as well. But once again those who are easily gullible and capable of doing the job.”

“And how exactly do we make them gullible?”

“We tell those who are capable to speak full conversations and can walk and run, by saying “You want to help our country and be a hero to be remembered then take this bomb and it will help us blow up our evil enemies”, it so simple as that.”

“But capo, you realize some might question the logic of it you know.”

“Oh I am well aware of that, which in cases like that we automatically murder them if they even mention having second thoughts.”

-Private conversation between President Giacomo Bertolucci and his military officials, March 29th, 2021

When it comes to the horrors of eugenics, Bertolucci of the Republic of Sicily was the one who carried out the most unspeakable thing that nobody had ever even thought about doing when it came to eugenics.

While already killing thousands of disabled people in the countryside of Sicily, he also began to pick a total of 200,000 “mentally retarded” people across the nation into the Sicilian military where they were treated well alongside their comrades and were easily manipulated into believing they were living the so called “Sicilian Dream” in which the propaganda created during Bertolucci’s regime told the disabled into believing that fighting for their nation would have themselves be remembered as great heroes literally to the point that propaganda even said “You will be remembered 1000 years from now”. Which disturbingly enough is only true due to the horrors it basically brought.

During the Third Sicily War, over 200,000 men who had not very severe autism, not severe Down Syndrome, bipolar disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and even schizophrenia, were easily recruited into the Sicilian Army and were then subjected to easy manipulation by their higher ranked military officials to which they made them all believe that what they were doing was morally right and that their deaths will ultimately be a great sacrifice for their nation, to which they had absolutely nothing to fear of. As a result over 142,000 men that were recruited by the Sicilian Army would end up getting killed on the battlefield by blowing themselves up with suicide bombs or getting killed by ADC, Brazilian, and Alpine soldiers before they could blow themselves up.

This brought absolute horror to many troops who fought against Sicily in the Third Sicily War, not just because of the fact they had to look out for suicide bombers running around causing havoc, but mainly because all those bombers had mental illnesses. In one recorded case written by Tunisian soldier, Ahmed Al-Azm he wrote the following, “I was with the 5th ADC Multinational Army when were liberating towns in Southern Italy, kilometers away from the former city of Naples. Out of the horrors I had saw in the war, the one thing that traumatized me the most was seeing a young man in his early twenties armed with a suicide bomb. But what traumatized me the most was the fact the man had easily noticeable physical traits of Down Syndrome.”

“I remember I shot the poor guy in between the eyes from a distance before he could even blow himself up in the process, but after doing so I just simply vomited and cried. Mainly due to the fact my brother back home in Tunis had Down Syndrome and it made me think of him. Even still to this very day even 27 years later I can’t ever stop thinking of that poor young man I had killed. Interestingly enough I didn’t feel entirely guilty of killing him, but I felt so angry that this poor young man didn’t even realize what he was doing was wrong. Simply put he was a fucking pawn used by the Sicilian military for pure evil doing.”

“I remember five years after the war was long over I decided to visit the Republic of Sicily, which was now under a democratic government while being monitored by the ADC. I went there and found every single information I found about the young man I killed in the war, to which I was informed by a former Sicilian veteran that the man’s name was Stefano Calzolari and he was from the small town of Palomonte.”

“I went there and I visited the town’s Catholic church to where I spoke with the priest to which he informed me that he was buried in the town’s cemetery, but surprisingly he wasn’t buried by his friends or family, but rather by ADC soldiers. To my surprise his family never cared about him and were glad he was taken by the military during the Bertolucci regime.”

“With that information I had found about Stefano Calzolari, I decided to pay respects to him by purchasing flowers at a local flower shop in the town and I went to his grave where I paid respect for him. He was never the real enemy, he was just a manipulated soul whose life was nothing but sadness and manipulation. But in the end I knew he was at peace.”

-A Sad History of Eugenics, written by Hasan ibn Osmoni, September 2nd, 2040
 
At this point, I could see some far-right radicals calling for Palermo to get nuked... and I hope it won't be the case.

Alas, with so many cities biting the radioactive dust more than 30 years after Doomsday (Recife, Broome, Chiang Mai, Baghdad, Caracas etc.) I could see that happening.

Thing is though Palermo is the capital of the Republic of Sicily, so nuking it would be automatic suicide since the Third Sicily War is still fairly new and nuking it would just end the war right then and there.

Maybe not Palermo itself, but some other city under their control might end up with this fate.
 
“If you asked me if I ever did had sympathy for Brazil’s former military junta, I would say I had absolute zero sympathy for it. Only sympathy I would have is for the people who had to endure it.”

“But if I had to say one thing that might be a good thing with what the Brazilians learned from it. Is that they truly know how to be brutal with their enemies on the battlefield. Sure torture is messed but it has to be done in order to get the information we need to stop evil men from causing more suffering.”

“I have 100% respect for the nation of Brazil and I am glad we are in an alliance with them in this global war against terrorism. The Brazilians are brave and strong people who’ve had a long history to which made them who they are today.”

“For us Australians we are learning many things from them that we have never had dealt with. We never dealt with widespread corruption, dictatorships, and brutal military police. But they did and they understand it fully what it is like to deal with that, and as a result it is something we have to learn from them.”

“But if you think about our countries of Australia and Brazil are not so different, cultural and linguistic differences aside our countries are by the very definition of being “parallel cousins” or better yet “close siblings”. We have large amazing ecosystems in the world with us having the Great Barrier Reef and for the Brazilians having the Amazons. We share a similar history of multiculturalism and essentially our nations are both melting pots of many different cultures. We share both the largest economies in the Southern Hemisphere and the entire world. We have the most dangerous animals in the world and have both share huge obsessions with sports especially football. And we both know how to dance to songs that we don’t even know the damn lyrics to.”

“If anything Brazil is a sibling country to Australia and vice versa. We never realized how similar our nations were until now. And someday quite very soon we Australians and Brazilians will share a beer together.”

-ANZC: CIB Director Louis Richard Howery-Morrell, April 2nd, 2021
 
The news cycle's really speeding up in TTL. Oregon, the Mediterranean, South Asia (albeit briefly). Not to mention the nukes and the Middle East. As for Oregon, where's Mexico in all this? If the two superpowers, that distant, are sending in thousands of troops, then Mexico should have no trouble doing so.

As for the Sicily War, the Tunisian soldier has a heavy burden, just like others who are forced to kill innocents in order to keep from being defeated.

Jesus. :perservingface: Well, there goes any hopes for a reborn United States in the future...

While the USA plainly won't reunite anytime soon, the Oregon situation is for the USA a domestic matter, not a dispute between two different nations. So diplomatically I can't see this as any obstacle to any future reunification (not that I expect a reunification of such a vast and diverse territory any time soon).

I figured I might explain and tell the website equivalents on the Net and what they are based on in OTL.

TypeIt - Is obviously what the timeline's version of Reddit is, same funny comments and a place for people to talk about anything that relates to a certain "main topic" (basically subreddits in a way). If one wants to go to a main topic that is all about anime, then you type in t/anime in the search bar on TypeIt.

eCast - EDU equivalent to what YouTube is in our world. It currently something similar to that of what "classic" YouTube looked like in its early years. People on eCast watch various videos ranging from comedy, gaming, reviews, news, TV shows, music videos, animation (usually claymation or Lego animation), to even memes. Currently as of 2021 the most subscribed person on eCast is 28 year old Samoan man who goes by the username of SamoanJoe. He basically is know for reviews on films and shows, stand-up comedy, stuff on history and science (done in a hilarious way with a lot of swearing), and sometimes sings hilarious songs he parodies. Currently SamoanJoe has 2 million subscribers.

Infopedia - Basically what EDU equivalent of Wikipedia is basically. It a free information online encyclopedia where plenty of can make articles as well as editing or updating any article on a certain specific topic. Interesting enough Infopedia is commonly used in ANZC and parts of North America that has Net connection (like Republic of Florida, Republic of California, Chumash Republic, Canada, Victoria, etc.)

Rapidinformica - A Brazilian online encyclopedia that is same like Infopedia. Only difference is that is mainly used by people in South America. Although it has many articles in English. Only thing that makes it different than Infopedia is that has very strict policies at creating articles (usually those that are controversial topics like homosexuality or religion as common examples) and editing articles. Basically in order for someone to edit an article they have to wait 24 hours for themselves to edit or update something. And only registered users can create and edit articles, but everyone is heavily monitored by moderators since the site has currently 60. One thing worth knowing about Rapidinformica is that has very helpful articles on how to learn Portuguese and Spanish which is commonly used by Australians and New Zealanders.

Red Sea - The equivalent of Amazon basically which was founded by Jeff Bezos since he literally survived Doomsday since he was attending university in Gainesville, Florida. As a result he ends up creating an online store for anyone to sell and buy stuff. The reason Bezos named the site "Red Sea" is due to the Red Sea's historic significance during ancient times allowing the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans to trade with far away places like India and sometimes China. The first item ever sold on Red Sea was an antique Victorian era lamp that costed $70 and was sold to a guy in Lima, Peru. The second item sold on the website was a 1969 Hot Wheels car that was a bright flaming red 1950s Ford Thunderbird which costed $100 and was bought by a Hot Wheels collector in Hilo, Hawaii.

Who Done It Online (WDIO) - If anyone played or heard of the Garry's Mod mode Murder, it is essentially this. Only difference is it is in 2D with graphics looking like that of what NES had in OTL, with more realistic effects in graphics like smoke, lighting, shadows, and darkness. Basically it is an online game where up to 50 players can play on a server. Every player is assigned a random name from A to Z and names can range other cultures and be references to names from popular culture. In the gameplay players are assigned either innocent, detective, or killer. Anyone who assigned the Killer role has to team up with other killers and kill the innocents and detectives to win the round before time runs out (a round typically lasts 10 minutes but can be changed by votes done by players in server). Anyone who is assigned the role of Innocent has to help the detectives find out who the killers are in order to win the game. A person assigned the role of Detective is given a Colts revolver with two loads of ammo. If they run out of ammo they must find ammo boxes located randomly across the map, picking it up automatically reloads your gun. If a Detective dies or is killed by a killer, they automatically drop the gun which can only be picked up by innocents. If an innocent picks up the revolver they become quickly assigned the role of Vigilante in which they must avenge the detective and kill the killer(s). There are four game modes that can be played per round and are selected by the amount of votes done by the players on the server. The game modes are Classic (default mode basically), Killer Royale (Everyone is assigned the role of Killer along with randomly assigned named of fictional killers, criminals, dictators, and villains (For example names like Jason, Joker, Riddler, Sauron, Vader, Palpatine, Norman, Lex, Khan, Ned, Jesse, Michael, etc.) and only way to win is to be last "killer" standing.), Detectives vs Killers (in this mode you either assigned the role of Detective or Killer. It basically like a war over good versus evil. Detectives must win by killing everyone who is a killer, while Killers must win by killing every single Detective. Interesting to note is anyone assigned the role of Detective is assigned random names that reference to fictional heroes like examples being Luke, Anakin, Amuro, Han, Leia, Bruce, Clark, Tarzan, Tony, Doctor, Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Uhura, Indiana, Bond, etc.) and last but least Salem Trials (basically is a mode where it functions like the game of Mafia. Everyone is assigned either Detective, Innocent, or Killer. Every morning players vote on who they believe is the killer and who killed who the night prior. If a person is given a majority amount of votes (10 in order to be hanged) they are sent to the center of map where they are hanged. Problem is people have be absolutely certain that the person they are voting to be hanged is a killer otherwise an innocent hanged gives the killers a easier chance at winning the game due to players getting killed by mistake. Only people exempted from being hanged are detectives.) The online game of Who Done It Online (WDIO) was created in 2018, by Australian game developer David Paulsen. It has gained a total of 12 million players as of 2021 as many people from across the ANZC and South America play it. It is currently the most popular massive online game in the world and has pioneered online game development on the Net.

GardenTalk - Despite the name it has nothing to do with talking about gardening. It basically a site that somewhat similar to that of 4chan, only difference being unlike 4chan, GardenTalk isn't a place for fucked up people to chat and post threads and not a place where people are sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. since mainly due the ANZC and SAC having heavy Net surveillance it basically means GardenTalk is almost always civilized and well mannered, and even if someone does say something messed they get instantly called out for it by other users and get banned by moderators to the point they can no longer access the site due to be IP blocked. GardenTalk has many sections specifically made for certain things and they all go by the following of <g;(insert topic here)>. Currently there are <g;anime>, <g;television>, <g;gaming>, <g; porn>, <g;films>, <g;worldnews>, <g;science>, <g;astronomy>, <g;horror>, <g;scifi>, <g;writing>, <g;fantasy>, <g;art>, <g;history>, <g;jokes>, <g;cars>, <g;animals>, <g;dating>, <g;trains>, <g; physics>, <g; planes>, <g;religion>, <g; philosophy>, <g;fashion>, <g;campfire> (storytelling), and <g;venting>.

IHeartPorn - A porn site obviously, and it pretty much identical to xvideos from OTL. It is the most popular porn site in the world of EDU, and what is even perhaps "awesome" is that despite it being a porn site, it is a advocate for safe sex, birth control, same-sex marriage, and is well known for helping pass many laws in both ANZC and SAC that banned child pornography completely on the Net in 2018. So yes this a porn site that is for equality and protection of minors, even to the point that its staff literally work together daily at uncovering as many child sex rings they can find across the ANZC and SAC and report it to authorities.

DiversisMundos - Translates to "different worlds" in Latin. It is a forum site that is striking similar to AlternateHistoryDotCom, only with the layout resembling like that of out forum sites looked like in early 2000's in OTL. As already said it is a forum site all dedicated to alternate history where people gather to discuss possible "what if" scenarios in history and share there own written works and alternate timelines to others. People even share maps they made (using paint/illustrating similar to that of OTL 2006) for their own timelines and show it to others. Currently it is the most active website for fans of alternate history on the Net and it known for where four famous alternate histories being The American Troubles (A Worse 1960's), The History of Brasil and New Holland (A Dutch Brazil and Australia), Skylines of Tenochtitlan and Cusco (A Surviving Aztec and Inca Empire TL) and The European-Soviet Cold War.

Lieutenant General John Horgan of the Commonwealth of Victoria has announced in a press conference that Victoria will send a total of 8,500 troops and might send 5,000 more troops to the US state of Oregon if things still don’t calm down by the next month of May.

Already Victoria being a new member of the NAU along with the fact it is in the New Commonwealth of Nations, has seen plenty of Americans fleeing into its borders to escape the chaos in Oregon. And mostly those who are fleeing into Victoria are LGBT people or people who are of neo-pagan faiths.

“As much as we Victorians wish to help every refugee that comes into our borders, we cannot accept a million refugees sadly since we have to still take care of our own people, before we can take care of the refugees. We will allow refugees to freely enter into our nation, however we will have to increase our borders by having our military keep a eye out 24/7 to see if any possible violent radical tries to enter into our nation.”

“As such we cannot ignore the problem that is going on right now in Oregon, and as a result we are going to send 8,500 troops and perhaps maybe 5,000 troops if things do not calm down by the beginning of May.”

-The Montana Morning Star, April 2nd, 2021

Hawaii has sent a volunteer peacekeeping force of 3,000 troops to Yachats, Oregon. This will be the first time that Hawaii sends its own soldiers into a country that once just only four decades ago was a state to the United States before Doomsday.

If anything all these troops will have no understanding on how Americans of older generations will react seeing people from a former US state coming into town to keep them safe.

Times have truly changed since the year of 1983.

Young and old clashes in the streets at dark
On a Friday night

Get down it’s Friday night
It’s not gonna be alright
It’s not gonna be alright
Because it’s a Friday night

GET READY GUYS! NEXT UPDATE WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT!

And if you guys know what it going to be about for Australia then do not spoil.

But I will say one thing though.

Australia will change forever.
 
2000

“Today is the day Australians!”

“Today is where we vote to determine our future for our nation and the world in the referendum many of us have long been waiting for.”

“Everywhere across our vast nation millions of us will vote on our referendum on whether we should become a republic and official end ties with Britain and her successor state of New Britain. Or whether we should keep our historic ties and join as a member of the New Commonwealth of Nations.”

“Either way as of today we are all voting for the future of our great country. The majority vote at the end of day will determine the future we chosen for Australia.”

“Currently voting has already begun as of 7:00 AM in all time zones, and voting will continue onwards until 10:00 PM in all time zones. The results will be then given to all of us tomorrow morning around 7:00 AM, in which our Prime Minister will announce our chosen outcome and mark a day of celebration.”

“Just remember Australians, we are choosing our future and once we have chosen it there is NO turning back afterwards.”

-ABC Morning News, news anchor Scott Bevan, April 10th, 7:00 AM (AEST)

“Today we vote for something that won’t only just change our nation forever. But change the world forever.”

“Today the world is looking very closely at what choice we decide for our great nation of Australia.”

“And on this day we realize that we the nation of Australia has now earned its status as being caretaker of the entire world alongside Brazil.”

“Times have changed and simply so much has changed that many would of seen the current state of our world today being completely unrecognizable.”

“Today we live in a world where the US being the world power alongside the USSR being a distant memory to the older folks or simply a thing thought in history in school for the younger folks in Australia.”

“The world of today is different we have new world powers and even nations capable of achieving the world power status as well. We are living in a world after a nuclear war that devastated countless lives and we have still many problems that we the world continues to face.”

“We still face the fear of nuclear weapons of mass destruction because terrorist groups have them, chemical weapons, dirty bombs, and most importantly we in today’s world are more afraid of global terrorism that it threatens our safety and modern society itself.”

“But in the end whatever choice we Australians make will determine the eventual outcome for the World War on Terror. Because once again our nation is a world power now and we must accept it whether we like it or not.”

-Australian Deputy Prime Minister, Penny Wong (Australian Labor), in televised speech in the Federal Parliament Building in Canberra, April 10th, 10:00 AM

“Remember Australians, remember what I said when I showed myself for the first time in public after I defeated the Australian Brotherhood? Remember when I was on television and I said in my speech?”

“We are all Australians. Throughout our history of our young nation we had many people from all corners of the globe come to Australia to call as home. And that said I like to say that we have done what our nation has always wanted for a long time."

"To be a nation where everyone loves and cares for one another."

“Remember Australians we are all a big family especially on an very important day like this.”

-ANZC: CIB Director, Louis Richard Howery-Morrell in televised 15 minute interview with Sky News Australia (while heading to the ANZC Federal Parliament Building in Jervis Bay ANZC Federal Territory), April 10th, 2021, 10:30 AM

“I really wonder if our nation is ready to be a world power. We are going the same rocky path that United States had and even the British Empire had. This will not be easy and this is something we all need to keep in mind.”

“Are we ready to be a world power?”

-Senator Stephen Perry (Australian Liberal), April 10th, 2021, 10:51 AM

“We can’t turn back once we make our decision. So we better choose wisely and carefully Australians.”

-Senator Ian MacDonald (Australian Liberal), April 10th, 2021, 11:05 AM

“I honestly wonder right now what Robert Menzies would say in regards to what is happening today in our nation. I wonder if he be absolutely against the idea of ending ties with Britain or whether he would understand once he learns how much has changed long after he died.”

“He would be very surprised waking up to find his country being a world power. It would surely be a different world to him if he saw the Australia we live in today.”

-MP Susan Templeman (Australian Labor), April 10th, 2021, 11:36 AM

“I wonder if the Brazilians are worried for our future, if so I can’t say I blame them since. Let alone I wonder if the whole rest of the ANZC feels worried as well.”

-Mel Gibson, interviewed by SBS News, April 10th, 2021, 1:05 PM

“Never in my entire life have I felt so nervous and anxious for my home country. And to be fair this has to perhaps be the longest day of my entire life due to how very nervous I am.”

-Bobby Hayes comment in regards to the 2021 Australian republican referendum thread on SOO Forum, April 10th, 3:15 PM

This has to be by far the most intense and if not very historic election that Australia has ever done in her recent history. This referendum is going to be written down in the history books many decades from now since this is truly a very historic event that we will all remember for the rest of our lives.

-ABC News 24/7, April 10th, 5:00 PM

ONLY FIVE MORE HOURS TO GO UNTIL THE AUSTRALIAN REFERENDUM IS OVER AND GET TO SEE THE RESULTS THE FOLLOWING MORNING!

-Rede Globo News 24/7, April 10th, 5:00 PM

Brazilian government has stated it will fully respect whatever decision that Australia decides in its referendum and that hopefully whatever decision is made will still result in Brazil and Australia working together in the World War on Terror.

-NBBC World News 24/7, April 10th, 7:40 PM

“Well ladies and gentlemen the last voting booths have finally closed as 10:00 PM has finally passed. Today was truly a very long day for us for the first time in decades. Many of you will surely not sleep tonight since many of you are very concerned about whatever decision has won the majority of votes in the morning.”

“But if anything tomorrow we will find out ourselves what we Australians have decided for our nation and for our future as well. We will find out about the news first thing tomorrow at 7:00 AM, so be sure to get up early to see what answer won the most majority of votes. Because tomorrow morning we are going to see what we have decided for our nation and for our future.”

“With that all said, I wish all of you Australians nationwide a good night. This is news anchor Jeremy Fernandez of ABC News, currently now signing out.”

-ABC News 24/7, April 10th, 10:00 PM


Has Australia and her people voted to become a republic and end her ties with the former nation of Great Britain, and as a result is truly a world power at last finally without New Britain whining?

Or did they vote to remain close with New Britain and possibly join the New Commonwealth of Nations? If so would her world power status be threaten or will she be seen as the most bizarre but favorite child to Britain?

Whatever decision the Australians have decided will be shown in the next update.

So tune in next time on The Eagle Down Under!

Yes I did that meme. I bet none of you saw that even coming. But you have to admit it fit perfectly well for this update.

And mostly though I usually update randomly whenever I feel like it.

But this time I am going to update at a certain time. And that time will be around either late morning or early or late afternoon tomorrow. Either way tune in tomorrow to see the next update or "episode" for your favorite best anime The Eagle Down Under.

THE “YES” VOTE HAS WON THE MAJORITY!

AS OF TODAY OUR NATION IS NO LONGER APART OF FORMER GREAT BRITAIN AND AS OF TODAY WE HAVE CHOSEN OUR OWN SEPARATE PATH!

-ABC News 24/7, April 11th

The Federal Parliament of Australia pulls down the Australian National Flag for the final time. Since we have chosen to no longer have anything to do with the nations of the former British Empire and New Britain as well, the Australian government has already went ahead a month before the referendum begun in which 10 school children were chosen for their neat design for the next official flag for Australia.

Currently the new flag of Australia that will fly from this day forth will be the new official Australian Republic Flag, being that it is the first flag of Australia showing herself now as a federal republic.

The new official flag has the colors of green, white, gold, and blue. The color gold symbolizes the soil, wealth, and prosperity of our nation, green symbolizing the unity between all Australians regardless of race or ethnicity, the color white symbolizes all the fallen soldiers who fought for making the world a better place as it is shown as a color of mourning and remembrance. And finally the color blue itself symbolizes not only the Indian, Southern, and Pacific Ocean that surrounds Australia, but also represents truth, vigilance, justice, and well-being. And lastly as many have realized now is that the Southern Cross constellation (also called the “Crux”) has been kept seeing that the constellation itself is well regarded important symbol for our country since we are a nation that lays under the Southern Cross.

Australia has become what many are calling as a “electoral parliamentary republic”. By this meaning that the Australian government has basically kept it’s parliamentary government (being the Senate and House of Representatives), but only difference is that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister are now elected by the Australian people in federal elections, and as such the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister will pick a political party at the same time. This means that Australia will no longer get new prime ministers into office by being outed by his/her political party (that is the majority in parliament) unless in emergencies being impeachment and such.

Also the Prime Minister can serve an unlimited amount of terms in office, however this means that every federal election will have the Leader of Opposition (being the Liberal-National Coalition) being the main opposing candidate against the current incumbent Prime Minister (being of the Labor-Green-Progressive Coalition). For one to become the Prime Minister of Australia they must be at least 18 years old or older and must have already won a seat in the Australian parliament whether for the Senate or House of Representatives. That said nobody can basically become elected as leader of Australia if they never had experience within federal politics of Australia (being the government in Canberra), so this mean premiers of Australia’s states and administrators of Australia’s territories (Northern Territory being an example) cannot run for federal election unless they are successful to have won a seat in the federal parliament in Canberra.

Senators and Representatives are still elected into the federal parliament of Canberra in the same way as it always been done before. Meaning electorates are still going to be used and whoever wins the majority of votes in his/her electorate he/she served for they then get themselves a seat in the federal parliament in Canberra.

As such coming back to the Prime Minister of Australia, this means they are now subject to being impeached by the federal parliament. However the way it works is quite interesting, basically first thing first the Prime Minister’s political party(and coalition) he/she served for has to vote on whether to decide if the current Prime Minister hasn’t been responsible in office and deserves to be impeached or not. After that it then results in the entire Parliament of Australia (meaning all political parties) will have a meeting to vote on the impeachment of the Prime Minister. If “Yes” wins the majority, then the Prime Minister is impeached and kicked out of office and even isn’t allowed to ever again serve in any kind of politics. And as a result the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia is then made automatically the next Prime Minister of Australia, and will pick a new deputy prime minister from his/her own party/coalition being usually someone he/she trusts.

If the Deputy Prime Minister is also guilty of committing crime while in office, they are also impeached. But it is somewhat different since only the political party he/she was serving for will be the ones to decide the fate of the Deputy Prime Minister. If he/she is impeached by their own political party, then automatically the party that makes up the majority in parliament will be the ones to decide on who will be chosen as the new PM and DPM.

Bear in mind that impeachment CAN ONLY BE DONE, if the Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister of Australia have committed a serious crime such rape, murder, domestic abuse, financial abuse, money laundering, nepotism, kickbacks, tax fraud, tax evasion, fake scandalizing (creating fake scandals to manipulate the public, especially during elections), bribery, cronyism, electoral fraud, embezzlement, involvement with organized crime, and influence peddling. This doesn’t just mean that the Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister have to be in current office for them to be impeached, this means that they can end up getting impeached for any of the following examples that been by them before being elected to power.

As for law making in Australia, same it will always be as usual. The Australian parliament will be the ones to pass and create new laws, however this means the that instead of having a royal assigned Governor-General, all laws must be sent to the Prime Minister of Australia where he/she can either veto it or pass it by signing his/her signature onto it at the bottom.

The Commonwealth of Australia has become now known as the “Republic of Australia”.

-NBBC World News 24/7, April 11th, 2021

People across Australia celebrate at achieving what they call “complete independence”.

-Rede Globo News 24/7, April 11th, 2021

“I have never been so proud to call myself an Australian. I will always love my country even when I am long dead I will still love it.”

“Because a true Aussie loves his or her country even when they are long dead, because patriotism is eternal.”

-ANZC: CIB Director, Louis Richard Howery-Morrell, April 11th, 2021


The government of New Britain has accepted the decision that Australia has recently chosen, despite many in the British Imperial Party (BIP) being unhappy with it.

-The Courier-Mail, April 11th, 2021
 
"Let it be known, from this day forward and through all future generations after us, that our dream for a republic has been made a reality! May it prosper and thrive!

However, I may not be online very much because Sofia's due to give birth soon and I have to be with her when the day comes. I still feel proud of my nation nonetheless; from here on out we are finally free to carve a path for ourselves as a world power, despite all the setbacks and tragedies we had to go through over the years. Now we get the chance to show the world what we can do now that we've cut off ties with the former British Empire at last.

Though I'd really like to thank Louis for helping us make it this far. We owe him so much for everything he had done for us and for our nation, not just as a CIB director, but as a hero and a friend. Who knows where we would be without him?"

I figured I might explain and tell the website equivalents on the Net and what they are based on in OTL.

TypeIt - Is obviously what the timeline's version of Reddit is, same funny comments and a place for people to talk about anything that relates to a certain "main topic" (basically subreddits in a way). If one wants to go to a main topic that is all about anime, then you type in t/anime in the search bar on TypeIt.

eCast - EDU equivalent to what YouTube is in our world. It currently something similar to that of what "classic" YouTube looked like in its early years. People on eCast watch various videos ranging from comedy, gaming, reviews, news, TV shows, music videos, animation (usually claymation or Lego animation), to even memes. Currently as of 2021 the most subscribed person on eCast is 28 year old Samoan man who goes by the username of SamoanJoe. He basically is know for reviews on films and shows, stand-up comedy, stuff on history and science (done in a hilarious way with a lot of swearing), and sometimes sings hilarious songs he parodies. Currently SamoanJoe has 2 million subscribers.

Infopedia - Basically what EDU equivalent of Wikipedia is basically. It a free information online encyclopedia where plenty of can make articles as well as editing or updating any article on a certain specific topic. Interesting enough Infopedia is commonly used in ANZC and parts of North America that has Net connection (like Republic of Florida, Republic of California, Chumash Republic, Canada, Victoria, etc.)

Rapidinformica - A Brazilian online encyclopedia that is same like Infopedia. Only difference is that is mainly used by people in South America. Although it has many articles in English. Only thing that makes it different than Infopedia is that has very strict policies at creating articles (usually those that are controversial topics like homosexuality or religion as common examples) and editing articles. Basically in order for someone to edit an article they have to wait 24 hours for themselves to edit or update something. And only registered users can create and edit articles, but everyone is heavily monitored by moderators since the site has currently 60. One thing worth knowing about Rapidinformica is that has very helpful articles on how to learn Portuguese and Spanish which is commonly used by Australians and New Zealanders.

Red Sea - The equivalent of Amazon basically which was founded by Jeff Bezos since he literally survived Doomsday since he was attending university in Gainesville, Florida. As a result he ends up creating an online store for anyone to sell and buy stuff. The reason Bezos named the site "Red Sea" is due to the Red Sea's historic significance during ancient times allowing the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans to trade with far away places like India and sometimes China. The first item ever sold on Red Sea was an antique Victorian era lamp that costed $70 and was sold to a guy in Lima, Peru. The second item sold on the website was a 1969 Hot Wheels car that was a bright flaming red 1950s Ford Thunderbird which costed $100 and was bought by a Hot Wheels collector in Hilo, Hawaii.

Who Done It Online (WDIO) - If anyone played or heard of the Garry's Mod mode Murder, it is essentially this. Only difference is it is in 2D with graphics looking like that of what NES had in OTL, with more realistic effects in graphics like smoke, lighting, shadows, and darkness. Basically it is an online game where up to 50 players can play on a server. Every player is assigned a random name from A to Z and names can range other cultures and be references to names from popular culture. In the gameplay players are assigned either innocent, detective, or killer. Anyone who assigned the Killer role has to team up with other killers and kill the innocents and detectives to win the round before time runs out (a round typically lasts 10 minutes but can be changed by votes done by players in server). Anyone who is assigned the role of Innocent has to help the detectives find out who the killers are in order to win the game. A person assigned the role of Detective is given a Colts revolver with two loads of ammo. If they run out of ammo they must find ammo boxes located randomly across the map, picking it up automatically reloads your gun. If a Detective dies or is killed by a killer, they automatically drop the gun which can only be picked up by innocents. If an innocent picks up the revolver they become quickly assigned the role of Vigilante in which they must avenge the detective and kill the killer(s). There are four game modes that can be played per round and are selected by the amount of votes done by the players on the server. The game modes are Classic (default mode basically), Killer Royale (Everyone is assigned the role of Killer along with randomly assigned named of fictional killers, criminals, dictators, and villains (For example names like Jason, Joker, Riddler, Sauron, Vader, Palpatine, Norman, Lex, Khan, Ned, Jesse, Michael, etc.) and only way to win is to be last "killer" standing.), Detectives vs Killers (in this mode you either assigned the role of Detective or Killer. It basically like a war over good versus evil. Detectives must win by killing everyone who is a killer, while Killers must win by killing every single Detective. Interesting to note is anyone assigned the role of Detective is assigned random names that reference to fictional heroes like examples being Luke, Anakin, Amuro, Han, Leia, Bruce, Clark, Tarzan, Tony, Doctor, Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Uhura, Indiana, Bond, etc.) and last but least Salem Trials (basically is a mode where it functions like the game of Mafia. Everyone is assigned either Detective, Innocent, or Killer. Every morning players vote on who they believe is the killer and who killed who the night prior. If a person is given a majority amount of votes (10 in order to be hanged) they are sent to the center of map where they are hanged. Problem is people have be absolutely certain that the person they are voting to be hanged is a killer otherwise an innocent hanged gives the killers a easier chance at winning the game due to players getting killed by mistake. Only people exempted from being hanged are detectives.) The online game of Who Done It Online (WDIO) was created in 2018, by Australian game developer David Paulsen. It has gained a total of 12 million players as of 2021 as many people from across the ANZC and South America play it. It is currently the most popular massive online game in the world and has pioneered online game development on the Net.

GardenTalk - Despite the name it has nothing to do with talking about gardening. It basically a site that somewhat similar to that of 4chan, only difference being unlike 4chan, GardenTalk isn't a place for fucked up people to chat and post threads and not a place where people are sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. since mainly due the ANZC and SAC having heavy Net surveillance it basically means GardenTalk is almost always civilized and well mannered, and even if someone does say something messed they get instantly called out for it by other users and get banned by moderators to the point they can no longer access the site due to be IP blocked. GardenTalk has many sections specifically made for certain things and they all go by the following of <g;(insert topic here)>. Currently there are <g;anime>, <g;television>, <g;gaming>, <g; porn>, <g;films>, <g;worldnews>, <g;science>, <g;astronomy>, <g;horror>, <g;scifi>, <g;writing>, <g;fantasy>, <g;art>, <g;history>, <g;jokes>, <g;cars>, <g;animals>, <g;dating>, <g;trains>, <g; physics>, <g; planes>, <g;religion>, <g; philosophy>, <g;fashion>, <g;campfire> (storytelling), and <g;venting>.

IHeartPorn - A porn site obviously, and it pretty much identical to xvideos from OTL. It is the most popular porn site in the world of EDU, and what is even perhaps "awesome" is that despite it being a porn site, it is a advocate for safe sex, birth control, same-sex marriage, and is well known for helping pass many laws in both ANZC and SAC that banned child pornography completely on the Net in 2018. So yes this a porn site that is for equality and protection of minors, even to the point that its staff literally work together daily at uncovering as many child sex rings they can find across the ANZC and SAC and report it to authorities.

DiversisMundos - Translates to "different worlds" in Latin. It is a forum site that is striking similar to AlternateHistoryDotCom, only with the layout resembling like that of out forum sites looked like in early 2000's in OTL. As already said it is a forum site all dedicated to alternate history where people gather to discuss possible "what if" scenarios in history and share there own written works and alternate timelines to others. People even share maps they made (using paint/illustrating similar to that of OTL 2006) for their own timelines and show it to others. Currently it is the most active website for fans of alternate history on the Net and it known for where four famous alternate histories being The American Troubles (A Worse 1960's), The History of Brasil and New Holland (A Dutch Brazil and Australia), Skylines of Tenochtitlan and Cusco (A Surviving Aztec and Inca Empire TL) and The European-Soviet Cold War.
Cool websites. Is Fanfiction.net around? Or Netflix?
