Hey, just a question about the state of the world, is Australia still the exact same size? I ask because it seems likely to me that puppet states or even provinces might be made of a severely weakened and perhaps both uncivilized and violet east Asia. The extent of this is obviously blurry, but I wanted to see how you felt being that you said you wanted real nations. Also, that brings me to the issue of democracy. Those often get suspended when fear skyrockets. Is it possible that a figurehead World Hegemon exists because of the invasion (I am thinking along the lines of Ender's Game)? Australian apartheid also sounds moderately likely considering the immigration and a few current developments (although granted, I am not Australian, so knowledge is a bit limited). Let me know what you think of this.

My backup is the Union of Confederated Brazilian and Argentine States (UCBAS, South American Union) if you let me (they are coastal city states in South America headed by Rio that function similar to Ancient Greece) or a unified EU.
