Australia
Australia is sometimes called the Wide Brown Land, and also described as the Land Down Under it is to the west of NewZealand, and somewhat south-east of Malaysia and Singapore.
Australia has a population of roughly 19 million people, living in two territories, Australian Captial Territory, Northern Territory Australia, and six states, Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland Australia, New South Wales Australia, and Victoria Australia.
Australia's captial is Canberra, situated roughly equidistantly between its two largest cities (I think...), Melbourne, and Sydney, who were fierce rivals for the position of capital at one stage.
Great Britain originally used as a prison colony.
Australia's economy is largely based on natural resources.
Hmm... seeing that there isn't anything here yet, I think that I'll blather on a bit and see if that will motivate someone else to correct me...
