Would Australia and New Zealand agree to this? Then again, the True Asians did invade Australia - perhaps in exchange for British support you gain de facto sovereignty over them?[/quote]

A simple matter of incorporation being a practically superior option to independence. The prospect of defence from the Chinese as well as economic support combining to be too good to resist.

The Chinese invasion would've been very helpful, yes.

In either case, I will hold off for now until I hear word from our GM.
