Westralia (also known as Western Australia) is a releasable of Australia and was added on March 29th, 2023.
Background
Western Australia (commonly abbreviated as WA) is a state of Australia occupying the western 33 percent of the land area of Australia, excluding external territories. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the north and west, the Southern Ocean to the south, the Northern Territory to the north-east, and South Australia to the south-east. Western Australia is Australia's largest state, with a total land area of 2,527,013 square kilometres (975,685 sq mi). It is the second-largest country subdivision in the world, surpassed only by Russia's Sakha Republic. As of 2021, the state has 2.76 million inhabitants—11 percent of the national total. The vast majority (92 percent) live in the south-west corner; 79 percent of the population lives in the Perth area, leaving the remainder of the state sparsely populated.
The first Europeans to visit Western Australia belonged to the Dutch Dirk Hartog expedition, who visited the Western Australian coast in 1616. The first permanent European colony of Western Australia occurred following the landing by Major Edmund Lockyer on 26 December 1826 of an expedition on behalf of the New South Wales colonial government. Lockyer established a convict-supported military garrison at King George III Sound, at present-day Albany, and on 21 January 1827 he formally took possession for the British Crown of the western part of the continent that was not already claimed by the Crown. This was followed by the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829, including the site of the present-day capital, Perth. York was the first inland settlement in Western Australia. Situated 97 kilometres (60 miles) east of Perth, it was settled on 16 September 1831. Western Australia achieved responsible government in 1890 and federated with the other British colonies in Australia in 1901. Today, Western Australia's economy mainly relies on mining, oil and gas, services and construction. The state produces 46 percent of Australia's exports. Western Australia is the largest iron ore producer in the world. Its motto is "Cygnis Insignis" ("Bearing the Sign of the Swan"). Its nickname is "The Wildflower State". |

Geography
Biome
Westralia is Arid in mainly the north, It does not affect anywhere near it's square city and the surrounding coast south of it.
Terrain
Westralia only has Hilly terrain in the small cities of Karratha and Roebourne. Other than that, it is flat.
Cities
Westralia has just 17 cities. With Perth being the one and only square with 1.5M population, you can make tanks in only Perth. which gives Westralia an advantage.
Border
Westralia borders only one country and that is Australia.
Threats
Australia trying to reintegrate you. (UNCOMMON)
Indonesia or another Southeast Asian power expanding into you. (UNCOMMON/RARE)
Japan Invading you to form the
Empire of Japan. (UNCOMMON)
China being an aggressive and expansionist power. (COMMON)
Strategy
First and foremost, make at least 2 electronic factories, a motor and a steel factory for tanks (MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RESOURCES NEEDED FOR YOUR FACTORIES!). Secondly, sell electronics for more money. Next Research Factory Output and Tax Collection for extra money and resource production.
WAR STRATEGY
As a releasable of Australia, you should always be conscious of threats from Australia being a player. If Australia is player, or any Southeast Asian nation wants to expand into you, place fortifications on your most important cities and make entrenched troops on those cities (Also make Tanks on Perth, your only square city). Make artillery on those cities in case any player overwhelms you with troops, so you can grind them easily. If Australia, or any nearby nation is AI, this will make things easier for you. Make up to 1.2K tanks to invade Australia and other nations needed for your formable (MAKE DESTROYERS TO GRIND DOWN ANY HOME GUARDS, AND TRAIN YOUR TANKS TO INVADE AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND).
