Australia was fun. We got to be a space power AND make fun of North Americans. We also played in the American arm, mainly around Botany Bay of all places, although I remember a sh*tfight I started on the old 2300 mailing list when I said there was no way Australia would not be a republic.....

European Union, United States of Europe... No wonder Maggie Thatcher wants to join NAFTA (North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement).
Are you starting to regret the Chunnel, yet? "If five-hundred LeClerc tanks leave Calais at 2PM going Northwest, when is the earliest can they have target practice on Nelsons column?"

Azania's my favorite. Some things are a bit off (Swahili place names like Nyotekundu in a Bantu-speaking state), but mostly it provided lots of opportunity to play something just outside of the normal but still spacefaring.

We always found it a little odd that Australia lost northern Queensland and that Tasmania ended up as an independent nation.
Given politics in this country the most likely outcome would have been Western Australia to become independent (there have been at least 3 secession referendums held in WA, though none recently).
The split we cam up with had Australia divided north and south, the "north" consisting of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. The south the rest.
As for New Guinea invading northern Queensland!!!

I would certainly be interested in the original discussions.
In a similar vein, a year or so ago up came the discussion here of Australia becomming a republic (again). One of the side issues raised was that if this happened the original Australian Constitution, which the states agreed to would be voided. There was some thought that this would mean each state would have to agree whether to agree to a revised one and if not the states would again be fully sovereign nations.

I know that Australia will be a republic within a generation in our timeline, but post-Twilight Britain, Canada and Australia seem to have gone ultra-conservative (or ultra-nostalgic) and stuck with the monarchy for several hundred years longer than they would otherwise.
But possibly republican forces are gaining strength again by 2300AD...
It's HMTQ's Jubilee next week, incidentally.
