“You call that a knife? This is a knife, a cheese knife, and it will make short work of this brie.”

“G’day mate! How ya goin’ cunt?”

~ Every bloke in Australia

Ah ... Aussielandia, "British America", "Jail" or "The place upside down", is a far-right totalitarian anarchy controlled by the government, mate. Therefore, it does not function as an anarchy, mate. This anarchy was controlled by notorious Brisbane gang leader of "The Smokos", Toe-Knee-Ab-Butt, has subjected hell on all its citizen, and is roaming around 'Straya to find its next victim, mate. As of now, Australia no longer exists due to various flames which were made by our enemies, Wikipedia, mate.

The Great Southern Land, Bogan Land, Ozi, Down Under, The Sunburnt Country, the better version of New Zealand, Terra Australis, Oz (Terra Australis), or "that stupid place that's either burning hot or cold as Greenland"; quite the happy continent, more commonly pronounced "Ostralyuh", or "Horstrayllia" by Her Majesty The Queen of Australia and 53 other worlds, Elizabeth II, mate. This place with many names is a Commonwealth country known mostly by foreigners as Great Britain with a less fruity accent and sun in the sky you can actually see, mate. It is also called "Oz" for short, or "Down Under", mate. Australia is the world's second favourite desert wasteland with only one or two interesting cities and a medium level of social censorship, behind the UAE, mate. The name "Australia" perhaps originates from the Aboriginal word "Walla'borongamala" meaning "where the bloody hell am I?" Alternatively, geologists such as Ash Ligert is the leading theorist that Australia originates from the lack of genetic diversity the Aboriginals first saw and declared the land "a void", mate.

Potential tourists should note that Australia is populated by vicious, venomous creatures (both native and feral), known as "white people" and "kangaroos" that can kill a full-grown man in milliseconds, mate.

Australia became a part of Europe (it’s just west of Portugal) in 2015 and is currently the biggest country of the world, mate.

Pre-history

Australia was originally part of a super-continent called "Down Under" which included "Definitely, Totally America" (South America) and Canada, as well as "African America" and Caucasia, mate. The mythical islands of Aotearoa (Noy Sealand) were also thought to be joined to the super-continent, mate. However, these countries decided to "split" from Oz (as they put it), mate. But do we care? Huh! We don't care one bit! It's their loss! We took our ball and went home ... Australia then became the largest island in the world, but was later discovered to be nothing more than a hilariously undersized continent, mate.

Australia was first colonised by those dirty English around 60,000 BC (before the great Queen Elton-John I), known as "Tell Him He's Dreaming Time", mate. The following account accurately summarises the history of the ensuing years, mate:

“Back to 8th century AD, Australia still consists of many tiny islands, mate. There was a tribe of natives, living confined from outside, mate. The island was named beautifully as AuLai, mate. Kangaroo was divinised as sacred animal, the embodiment of God. The animal was named KAIGELU (kangaroot), meaning Son of the God. In the 17th century Talise, the English navigator, arrived in AuLai with European civilisation. The island residents saw Talise curiously writing diary, using sharpened stick dipped in ink, mate. Talise presented sharpened sticks to tribe leader as gift, which were treated as sacred things and carved with pattern of kangaroo later.”

~ Handbook of Kaigelu Kangaroo Australia Holdings Limited, translated from ChingChongese, mate.

Asian prisoners (natives)

Before a group of Filipinos decided to see how long the water was ten metres deep for, there were a bunch of ugly and sloppy group of people called bogans, mate. As the Asians arrived, they brought food, which the bogans tried to scab at and this caused a war, mate. The Asians won and bogans have been hated ever since, mate. The Asians got a tan and became Aboriginals, mate.

History

Australia, as drawn by Matthew Flinders on an ancient scroll known as "Risk"

The British took control after a bizarre administrative error which also created the American Independence, mate. The first Queen of Australia, Captain James "Jimmy" Chook, built the first Aussie "barbie" (barbecue, not the doll – she came later after Ken moved in), on Lady Macquarie's Chair on Point Bennelong, mate. After the chair was extinguished, a great celebration called Australia Day was held, and a lot of beers were drunk, mate. Then the flags of Norway and Sweden were raised in error, then taken down, then the Vietnamese flag was raised, then taken down, then the Polish flag was raised, and as it was found there was no British flag available a Union Jack was drawn on to the Polish flag and the country was declared to be the possession of General Kosciuszko, who nobody had heard of, and the highest mountain was named after him, mate.

After people of The Famine arrived in Australia, they immediately set up a camp and began saying Good Ay' to each other, mate. The phrase came about after the British suffered from ear infections after the long boat journey and a load of shouting because of orders. Good Ay' was meant to mean, Is your ear okay? A prison was soon built after crime was rife on the Island. The problem was the number of criminals that arrived on a large pirate ship full of booty. When the Australia Force was formed, prisons were easily built with slave labour from trained crocodiles (affectionately known to the locals as "salties"). The prisons were very crude, and the sound of bells was used as a deterrent to crime, although just what that means no-one has ever worked out.

Other countries, however, viewed Australia as a tourist resort and Europeans came by the thousands and – after having had sex in Australia's drinking water supply – sunbathed on the pristine white beaches. After some undue violence with the prisoners, the English retreated back to England to support their Queen as well as their reigning Monarch, Victoria Beckham.

The governments of the UK and Australia met up in 1902 to discuss the possibility of burning a man, made from half an "Aussie" and half a "Brit" (one of the race unaffectionately known to the locals as "pommie bastards"), put the ashes in a small urn and then play test matches for possession of "The Urn". Australia were quick to dismiss the idea, but after China had started to play Cricket, they knew they must "play up, play up, and play the game". Originally the game was played naked in the burning sun, but clothes were introduced after the first team all died of skin cancer several years after the first match.

A typical Aussie car

In 1978 a giant boat arrived on the shore of the Island, loud disco was booming out of it, but no one got off the boat was several days until the army was called. Once on board the army found a large group of sleeping party people. The people were awoken and welcomed to the Island. This is believed to be the origins of Australia's Underbelly. The Police of Australia met with the people of the boat, and once they had all had massages on the beach from some nearby aborigines, then it was down to business. The party people agreed to keep the party scene going if they could have immunity from the country's drug laws. This was granted and the party scene grew from the boat. The first party was named "The Liberal Party", then "The Country Party" started up, followed by "The Labour Party". Other parties quickly formed including Republican, Communist, Green, Brownish, Purple Hazey, Slightly-puce, The Zoo Party and the Party! Party! Party!

Early British prisoners in Australia used their pickpocketing skills to steal a captain's ID and set sail in the direction of Antarctica, where they hoped to find Father Christmas and his tireless elves. Unfortunately, recent scientific discoveries have discovered that Santa actually lives at the North Pole, and not the South. Luckily for the ship crew, however, one Henry Barrington Smith had actually constructed his 3/4 flood pants entirely out of magnetic rock sourced from the motherland, England. And as he greatly enjoyed circling the ship's rim, he caused the captain's compasses to go in random directions: east, west, north, up, into the fourth dimension, and so on. This lead them in a complete circle and back to the beach from which they had left. This is described in the captain's diary as such: "Antarctica, I have found, is unlike Australia. It has the water, more culture, and much better night life."

Subsequently becoming the part of the Empire where the sun never set (mainly because God doesn't trust an Englishman in the dark), the former convicts (now Australians) cleverly got around the eternal daylight hours by introducing Daylight Saving Time, thereby throwing out all reckoning of time during the summer months. No one was ever again certain that the sun had indeed risen, or whether there was just a particularly bright moon that night.

From here the newly founded Australia built itself on a strong trade in being anal retentive, awesomely bogan-like, pathological cheats at any number of sporting fare, and drunken-destructive by nature. With this booming trade, the first brewery was founded in Sydney, finally freeing the locals from the unpopular practice of drinking each others urine, though it has since been recorded that there was no discernible difference in flavour. A good example of this traditional brew can be found in any Melbournite "brewery". The transition from traditional English seafaring beverage to locally-produced products can be seen today in the architecture of the Sydney Opera House. Only with sufficient drunkenness could the local population have agreed to produce something worthy of being deemed erected, and allow the locals to miss the fact that it had been "erected" and not giggle at the term. The obsession that Australians found in gambling was finally put to good use when they decided (like the dense lot they are) to follow blindly any lead the "good ol' US of A" lays down ... They say "Hump", Oz says "How dry?

From here the rest of Australia's arrested development was chosen, and the Australian national motto decided: "Be wicked which you can't help anyway because you're Australian and criminal behaviour is your birth right!" This cryptic motto comes from an early regional dialect often referred to in early cave paintings as "boof-head/bogan". It has yet to be fully translated, but its impact on Australia is unmistakable.

Australians don't not have tax, they have buckets in the street where people throw money they don't want. It has provided enough money to keep things under control. The buckets have a large vacuum inside that sucks notes in. In recent years, the machines have been repeatedly filled with dog excrement and photographs of money.

Politics and Government

This picture was taken after a Budweiser beer boat sank around the southeast perimeter of Australia. It is a Commonwealth country known mostly by foreigners as Great Britain with a less fruity accent and a sun in the sky you can actually see.

Australia is the only nation in the world to completely occupy an entire continent. This gives Australian government officials a +4 influence bonus, one extra Special Power usage, and two extra armies each turn. Another notable aspect about Australia is that it possesses the detached province of Tasmania, which are used in the Australian Army as shock troops, as well as making good moving targets down at the shooting range or as an alternative to abortion. Occasionally the government hold elections *cough* *cough*.

However, Australians are relatively passive in world affairs, preferring to save up their extra armies every turn and turtling in Indonesia or Siam until they have a sufficient force in reserve to suddenly envelop Asia and thereby enact world domination. Damned lamers. Despite having the best-trained, well-equipped army in the entire world consisting of all the cannons in the black army, half the cavalry, 15 solders and a shit rugby team, the Aussies generally choose to just own the Americans at war games and send them out on beer runs for the rest of us.

For most of the 20th century, Australia was ruled by England's Queen Elizabeth II, a tyrannical and insane monarch who also runs things in New Zealand, Canada, America and India. The current government's international policy seems to be "No Worries, She'll be Right" and apparently consists of doing the American army's work for them, before heading off to the local pub while the Americans take the absence as an opportunity to claim credit for winning the war.

Contrary to Popular Belief among the English, Australia is no longer a colony of criminal miscreants and has grown sobbingly wealthy, this brought us the term "whinging pom", because we all know an English person would lose their prominence and position if they are seen being dirty in any way and "uncivilised". The new 21st century Queen of Australia, Victoria Beckham, has pleaded with Australia to grow up and be independent. However, Australia prefers to still be governed by Great Britain for the sake of tradition, just like Americans prefer to be fat because they can't get off their behinds to save their lives, and the Japanese like to be productive and creative because they're stuck in the 1600s. Not that Australians think they are superior.

Australia, despite being ruled by the monkey queen, has escaped the iron grip of a mutant Grue-eating slug since mid/late-2008, and is now controlled by a big red mole rat who leaves the country whenever he has to do any significant form of work.

Since 2008, Australia has had seven prime ministers. These include Julian Assange's porn star clone, a headless chook, a not-so Christian conservative banker, Dumbo's racist cousin & an unloveable, egocentric toad.

Wars

Illegal queue-jumping parasite Simpson (right) and his donkey. And some other dozy bludger who managed to get himself shot at Gallipoli.

Australia has a long tradition of supplying cannon fodder for its imperial overlords – (Britain 1788–1958, and America 1958-Armageddon) – any time they decide to embark on a new adventure. This first began in the Boer War, which wound up with Edward Woodward being tied to a chair and shot. Australians recently commemorated this event by briefly renaming a pub on Chapel St, South Yarra, "Rorke's Drift".

More recently however, Australia has managed to consolidate control of the continent and has been deploying its two extra armies every turn on Indonesia.

The You-Beaut War

In World War I Australians performed an outstanding service to the British Empire by acting as bullet-collectors in the Somme and Gallipoli. The "idea" for the latter was conceived by the then British Monster of Navy, Winston Churchill. Churchill's reward for his brilliant strategy to reduce the population of Australia was to be eventually made leader of the Tory Party and subsequently elected as Prime Monster. Churchill famously never visited Australia, because he was warned there were Anzacs queuing up to shoot him.

During a famous truce at Gallipoli the Turks lobbed tobacco into the Australian trenches and Australians lobbed their tinned beef into the Turkish trenches. The Turks tried the beef before promptly lobbing it back. Australians are particularly proud of having been slaughtered at Gallipoli, which is commemorated each year by thousands of young Australians booking a package tour to Turkey, getting pissed and throwing up on war graves.

In popular Straylian mythology (not the black mythology, the other unreal one), The Great War (or "The Bonza, You-Beaut War", as it is known in Australia) was the beginning of the modern Australian nation. The real pre-John Howard mythology, dating from 1989 BC (Before Costello) is that the beginning of the Australian nation was forged on the goldfields and at the "Eureka Stockade" (which was a stockade or corral where "ideas" or "eurekas" were kept fenced in). Australia's most dramatic and successful war campaign during the You-Beaut War was its valiant relieving the Germans of Papua New Guinea, or "German New Guinea" as it was then known, distinguish it from "Dutch New Guinea" which was to west and spoke Dutch but now speaks Indonesian. ("Don't mention West Irian.") Famous prisoners-of-war (POWs or Piss-Weaks as they are known to Aussie non-combatants) from the First You-Beaut Papuan Campaign included Bronislaw Malinowski (Who?), the father of modern Anthropology and well-known Stella Artois enthusiast who invented the upside-down toilet catcher.

The most potent icon to emerge out of the Gallipoli conflict was that of Simpson and his Donkey (pictured), who risked life, limb, hoof and tail ferrying wounded Australian soldiers away from the front line under heavy Turkish fire. However, it was recently discovered that Simpson was in fact an illegal Scottish immigrant, so his shattered remains were dug up and sent back to Britain at the British government's expense. Dirty yobbo, pretending to be an Aussie hero, may he rot in peace!

The Shit, not Again You-Beaut War

During World War II the Australians were all over the place, planting gum trees in Syria, liberating France, causing riots in Kosovan brothels, building the Burma Railway and the Bridge over the River Kwai. Note: the Burma War history was later amended to include William Holden, famous American (aka "Septic") car designer and other yanks and Brits, but Aussie soldiers were deleted by David Lean the infamous "historical revisionist" greatest man ever (see John Howard) and movie director.

Other You-Beaut Wars

Australians were also in Malaya at some point in the '50s, though nobody seems to remember why. It may have been something to do with Britain's War on Communism. Then they piled into Korea. Returning soldiers tried to interest their loved ones in kimchi, which led to an unprecedented spike in the Australian divorce rate. Then it was Vietnam, though nobody seems to remember why. It may have been something to do with America's War on Communism. Then the "First Bush War" in Iraq, then the undeclared war in East Timor against those tricksy Indonesians who took away Dutch New Guinea ("Don't mention West Irian" again), "The Bali Bombing" in Indonesia, then the "Second Bush War" in Afghanistan, and the "Third Bush War" and "First Trump War" – Iraq again. Australia valiantly attacked the Solomon Islands, East Timor again, and is probably due to attack the World again. Australia enthusiastically joined the "Bush War on Terrierists", which arose from a misinterpretation of the American accent of President George Bush who was angry at people keeping terrier dogs (he preferred poodles) but was later taken to mean anyone from the Middle East or an Arab (see Muslim or anyone wearing a towel on their head such as Cronulla residents or Maroubra expatriates).

The Hard War

In 1972, a war erupted between Australia and Hungary, after Australia declared that it did not like the country. Australia started to heavily bomb the country, and was joined in force by Italy, Japan, Russia, Jersey, Isle Of Wight, and London in the war. Hungary teamed up with Jamaica, but never started it's war effort due to everyone in the country evaporating after a lot of steam was poured on the country by Japan. Australia denies it being a hard war, because they don't want bogans saying how bad the country is.

More You-Beaut Wars

Japan and Australia went to war in 1967, after a disagreement about flared trousers. The war was settled with a massive game of conkers using cranes. Japan declined to comment after losing the war and went into what is now known as "The Great Japanese Silence". The rest of the world were not to hear from Japan until 1978, when the country recorded a version of "The 'Boy's'r Back in Town".

In 1983 Australia was embroiled in a war with Jamaica over the running man dance. It was never settled and the countries remain enemies.

The Coffee War

On October 16, 2002, Australia was invaded by the "Coalition Forces" of South Africa and Mongolia. The two countries were going through a severe coffee shortage and because Australia was so abundant with Starbucks and other coffee shops (the United States said they would stop financing their anti-white immigration acts if they invaded them) the two countries came in for action. Instantly, all the towns with coffee stores were evacuated and their citizens were taken to the Sydney Opera House and forced to listen to superoperas for hours upon hours. The Australian Army attempted to protect the coffee supply by putting twerking black pre-pubescent girls in front of the store. The South Africans killed the twerkers, called the "Founding Twerkers." (The Founding Twerkettes from Western dialogue.) The war lasted until May 7, 2005, when Starbucks agreed to open a location in South Africa and Mongolia. However, nearly eight million Australians died in the years to follow from withdrawal due to coffee addiction.

The Existential Crisis War

On November 5, 2017, Australia was once again invaded, this time by a group of around 68 random idiots who came to see if Australia really existed. The country realized how dumb some people are, and decide to go to war with these people, nicknamed the "Doofuses of the Earth". They (Australia) won within 10 minutes, and a new law was passed making it illegal for Doofuses of the Earth to ever enter the country. Nowadays Australia denies the war even happened due to not wanting to look stupid.

Economy

Resemblance to "chocolate money" is not coincidental.

“Insert Money Here”

Aussie Land is famous for its domestication of the bizarre eucalyptus tree, on which wooden kangaroos and emperor penguins grow. These animals are harvested, painted a variety of pleasing colours and exported around the world. Large amounts of raw alcohol are also annually excavated from mines and refined into beer through complex chemical processes.

Australia is also famous for its wide and diversified exports, these include such valuable commodities as: cheap, bad beer (all the good beer remains in Australia), emigrants (e.g. human excrement), putrid food, reconstituted putrid food, child sex offenders (especially to Thailand and Vietnam), "innocent" drug traffickers (and their "specially packaged" surf-boards), Kylie Minogue Fan Club kits, AC/DC, unique and endangered fauna, putrefied alcohol, crappy melodrama TV shows, and selling useless junk to American tourists.

Richard Gere, dressed as a woman, appears on Australia's $10 note for some reason.

After switching to the metric system in 1983, Australian currency now takes the form of stubbies (single items), six packs, and slabs (of 12 or 24) – and as any Australian mathematical genius would deduce these are all perfectly divisible by ten. This is often broken down into various types, most common being VB and XXXX, then progressing on to slightly classier brews, such as Crown Lagers or "Crownies" as they are affectionately referred to. Trade with such delicate currency can have devastating effects on the local economy. NOTE: the item Foster's Lager is not a true beer as it comprises (at least) 50% horse urine, hence it is the chief sponsoring product for the so-named "Foster's Melbourne Cup".

Geography

Australia is renowned for its beaches. However, contrary to Popular's beliefs and government propaganda, these seemingly wonderful places are chock full of piranhas, barracuda, poisonous sea serpents, box jellyfish, plankton, genetically-engineered killer dolphins, and of course, hated by all, floating speed humps, a.k.a. bodyboarders. The waters adjacent to the beaches are even worse. Despite the earnest effort of local authorities and the military, the number of syringe attacks is still sky-rocketing.

Much of current Australia either consists of flat desert or flames. This makes going to Ayers Rock a rather tedious affair, and many a fatality was caused by some poor yob trying to win a Darwin Award, throwing rocks at burning potoroos while bored on the road. Other people hold a "corroboree" (Ancient Strayian for "Kiley Minogue Concert") in or near their cars (which are frequently parked on top of local beauty spots) until they get drunk and fall over. Or have sex. Or both.

On the plus side, it makes Australia an ideal location to put suburban sprawl. That should be interesting.

States

States of Australia. This map is now invalid: Queersland seceded and was later sold and sailed to the Japan in the 1980s by Premier Sir Joh Bjerky-Whatshisname. Westraylia has been dug up and shipped to China.

Australia has several states as well as the Fostern Territory. these are:

• Southern Territory (Basically a southern hemisphere version of Quebec)
• ACT (Everyone forgets this state, er territory, which is ... somewhere in NSW near Queanbeyan)
• Tascademania (Inhabited by Taswegians and cheese) ← This isn't part of Aussieland
• New South Ireland (Famous for its beaches such as Maroubra and Cronulla, which are good for a punch-up)
• Victoriana or "Tramland" (Named for Queen Gracie but later reattributed to the 'other' Queen, Victoria Beckham)
• Westraylia (This has being dug up and exported to China)
• Queersland (Named after the present British Queer, David Beckham. Seceded from Australia under Joh Bjerke-Whatshisname in 1983 and sold to Japan)
• Newzild (But only the good bits, like Russell Crowe)

The larger island is divided into "more than three" states. Maybe five or six – nobody is sure because states continually disappear and some are territories, or not, which is confusing. Norfolk Island, Heard Island, King Island and the Christmas Islands are not shown on maps, nor are the 'Outer Immigrant Islands'. Somewhere within New South Ireland lies the "Capital City of Australia", Queanbeyan, but no-one is sure if it is a myth or just a rumour. The usual comment by visitors to the Capital City is, "It's well laid out!" but so is a corpse. Antarctica was invaded by Australia in 1901 and declared the 7th state (or is it 8th?) –it is ruled by the 'Emperor Penguin' (see Batman). The Northern Territory was ceded by Fiji to Japan in 1982. Australia's favourite state, however, is Intoxication.

Capital cities

An accurate rendition of Australia. Notice how Tasmania is missing. I wonder why that is.

• Adelaide: Regretted labelling itself the "city of churches" since the 60's. Commonly referred to as "never heard of it". Home to 72% of Australia's bogan population (and some giant silver balls), and, ironically, a best expensive wine and cabaret in the world. Go figure.
• Brisbane: Population including Cane Toads: 5.2 million. Population minus Cane Toads: Nowhere near Melbourne and Sydney's. Interstate migrants have been introduced to correct this problem.
• Canberra:AKA: The biggest hole on earth! The love child of a dummy spit between Melbourne and Sydney. The solution: Put the capital somewhere between the two cities. Everyone's a winner. Except if you have to move to Canberra.
• Darwin: Hot, humid and crappy with the slight chance of crocodile. Only capital city in the world where businessmen wear shorts and long socks to meetings about resources, company mergers and acquisitions.
• Melbourne: Best State-that's-really-a-city in the Country. All the cool (or deep frozen) people live there. It poops on Sydney's face frequently. Sporting capital, culture capital, should really be the Australian capital except that no-one living there can reliably spell the word "capital". The city's favourite sport is "AFL" and all its dwellers hate Sydney but worship a strange variant of Gaelic Football called "Aerial Pingpong". Oh, there's a heck lotta Greeks, can't forget about them.
• Perth: A city that far away from the East coast cannot still be in Australia, can it? Getting to back to civilisation is a month-long walk through the desert.
• Sydney: Typical concrete jungle with everything that signifies it, e.g. traffic jams and air pollution. The city's favourite sport is sodomy and all its dwellers hate Melbourne and the Sydney Swans, a team which plays Aerial Pingpong. Residents support a sport which is a local variant of brutal gladiatorial combat known as "Thugby" which derives from the English town of Rugby, famous for its gladiatorial massacres.

Flora and Fauna

The horrible embarrassment of evolution

As mentioned previously, kangaroos and emperor penguins are part of the native fauna in the Australian bush. There is a lesser-known creature that is kept out of the media to prevent a drop in tourism, which is known locally as the Drop Bear. The Drop Bear (Phakus cinereus) is related to the common Koala bear, neither of which is related to the bear species. The platypus is also native to this land, but the locals try to shun association with this horrible embarrassment of evolution. Hoopsnakes and One-eyed Trouser Snakes are also a vital part of Australian life, supplying much of the country's sperm donations.

Crocodiles are typically considered part of the wildlife of this country, but only by foreigners and the late Steve Irwin. In truth, with crocodiles so numerous, they have been allowed the same rights as humans. Of course in Australia, that really doesn't amount to much, since whiteys are legally allowed to hunt and kill Aborigines much in the same way humans can kill crocodiles. This is due mainly to the fact that Aborigines, up until 40 years ago, were considered fauna.

Of course, the most dominant animal species in Australia, the dingo, remains a deadly baby-eating monster. Most commonly known for eating the child of Meryl Streep, the dingo remains an ongoing problem in Queensland. In the bush areas of the state, it is well known that the nationally produced 'dingo patrol' must stay at bay 24 hours a day to stop swarms of dingoes getting through the great divide and devouring everything in site.

The country is also awashed in feral animals including cats, dogs, pigs, horses, goats, camels, plastic bags, prisoners of mother England posing as citizens (since 1788), pommies,American|yankee]]s and those eh ... people from that funny country attached to Alaska.

Things that will kill you

It is generally held that Australia is stuffed full of dangerous flora and fauna, many of them resident in the Federal Department of Immigration and released periodically when an election is in the offing. These include many snakes, things in the sea etc. What the locals usually don't mention are the really worrisome creatures:

Stingrays are also notably dangerous for being capable of killing an Australian who made a living out of wrestling crocodiles. Sharks and Box Jellyfish have had 'bad press' recently and are considered dangerous by some, but are actually friendly, huggable creatures that make good pets and amusing nightclub companions.

The Australia Effect

A unique trait of the wildlife of Australia is that all organisms, upon arrival to the continent, become venomous. It is widely believed that the continent was the origin of Vampires, and Homo sapiens vampiris. The venomous Australian eagles have been known to use venomous fire to hunt for venomous prey. It is because of this effect that (o)possums are widely considered the only non-venomous marsupial. Australia is also known for its venomous ... plants. As plants usually fall under the category of non-poisonous, it is very rare to come across a venomous plant. Most genuses of venomous plants are known to originate from Australia as it is also known as the land of the venom. The alien parasite by the same name is also thought to originate from there (Not sure about Carnage, Though).

Demographics

The customary greeting given to all local citizens consists of ripping off one's shirt and making unrestrained angry faces.

'Straya consists largely of people who do not come from a country other than Australia. The long and the short of it is that Australians love beer, money, beer, cricket, beer, football, beer, sodomy, beer and anything they can fuck (including beer). Things they can't fuck are great too, since deep down Australians really love a challenge – for example, first-year primary school English lessons. Almost all Australians have a "Blitish" or Asian or Italian or Greek or anything-else background, although it is a little known fact that half of the "immigrant" population of 'Straya in 1900 was Irish. As a result of this "mixed breeding", the locals usually refer to each other as mongrels, and enjoy being hailed by tourists with the endearing greeting, "Piss off, ya fuckin' mongrel."

Dialects

This man and his ancestors took care of Australia until the white people arrived. Thanks for a job well done!

Australians are widely thought to be uncultured on account of their accent, which is purely an environmental adaptation. In Australia, the wider you open your mouth and the longer you leave it open the more flies get in.

Note that it may sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between Australians and New Zealanders (commonly known as kiwis). The most popular method of quickly checking which one they are is by asking them to say "chips". While Australians are able to pronounce the word correctly ("cheeps"), kiwis invariably pronounce it as "chups". However, there is another distinctive difference in that whereas kiwis can spell the word, a high proportion of Australians cannot actually spell "chips". (Google: "Remedial English for Australian Adults"). Local terms that tourists should endeavour to learn include: Chunder (previously, "technicolour yawn"), Sheila (anything female on two legs, or sometimes four), and Bonza ("jolly good old chap").

Hoon: This is a unique Australian word of unknown derivation, but possibly was borrowed from the German word "Hunne" (Chicken) from which we get the charming description of Germans as "huns". Visitors to Australia are invited to study "hooning", which is a local method for driving cars and is greatly admired by the police. Visitors may also wish to become honorary hoons which involves drinking a lot of beer then attacking police officers.

Culture (for want of a better word)

“It is a common misconception that we Aussies are a friendly bunch. In reality, this is designed to attract tourists, who are then beaten, robbed and fed to the crocodiles or koalas.”

The famous "Oxley Moron". It is customary in Australia to dry wet flags by draping them over a local buffoon or (in the quaint Australian dialect) a "bloody gorbuson".

The term culture in Australia is synonymous with sport (see below). This is expressed by the well-known mathematical equation first devised by the Australian-of-the-Year (1847) – Sir Les Patterson: Sport = Culture.

Australian culture is wide and about as diverse as a tub of plain, white sour cream. Much of Australia's culture (e.g. sour cream) lies in upholding the cultural barriers between themselves and their neighbour New Zealand, and flipping off the Americans in public while sucking up to them in private.

Another charming aspect of Australian culture is the humiliation of other nations, though conventional or unusual methods (such as genetically altering fauna and flora to hate tourists). A prime example is the koala, whose only purpose is to lure in Japanese tourists with furry good looks and leaf-eating predilections. Once cuddled up in the victim's arms for a photo opportunity, the koala slashes major blood vessels with its razor-like claws, causing instant (and often permanent) death. The Japanese would have put a stop to this long ago, were it not for Australia's strategic advantage (see "Politics and Government").

Australia is a very relaxed society and it is considered okay to use abusive or ugly words to describe fellow citizens who may be suffering from physical or other handicaps. This is because Aussies have rejected the idea of "politically correct" (PC) language (see John Howard) which may be amusing to visiting Europeans (wogs), Americans (septics), Asians (chinks), etc. On the other hand, Neo-Nazi visitors to Australia will be very pleased. Anyone who is intellectually handicapped can be abused, for example as "autistic" or "retard", and the locals will laugh along heartily: names like "spastic" are enjoyed widely. Indigenous citizens can be referred as "abbos", "boongs" and "niggers" and their hopelessness and poverty seen as hilarious, but no one will take offence! Join in the fun!

Visitors to the country often comment on the uniquely Australian whimsy for place names. For example, the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are both, deceptively, kinds of fungus grown in caves in land-locked Alice Springs. Similarly, the states of New South Wales, Western Australia, the Northern Territories, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia are all national parks in the island of Tasmania. ontrast the states of Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria named by the plain-speaking English.

100% Aussie Prid

Australians are perhaps proudest of their long tradition of home-slaughtering, a cherished pastime in which the whole family joins in in killing, gutting and butchering animals ranging from emu, kangaroo and platypus to the more exotic dugong and wobbegong. Another common pastime is annoying the Brits, for example, by going into a drunken diatribe about how the English murdered all the Aborigines with the quaint recipe, "strychnine in the flour and cyanide in the billabong", then saying "Nah, just kidding, mate. You're all right ... for a stinkin', lousy, bath-dodging, whingeing Pom."

Sports

Australians are renowned for their unseemly, hairy-chested and generally puzzling obsession with sport. Anthropologists largely agree that this is because there's bugger-all in the way of Australian artistic, economic, scientific or culinary achievement for them to carry on about.

The biggest sports in Australia are, in order of popularity: Australian Rules football, Rugby Union, Cricket, V8 Supercars, Formula 200, quickie, teabagging cross dressing, fight club, Koala racing, two-up and the Olympics. Australians will, however, slap on the green-and-gold zinc cream and clamber aboard the bandwagon of any Australian sportsman or team that seems to be in with a sniff of winning something – for example, if an Australian tennis player other than L'il Lleyton Hewitt gets past the first round at a Grand Slam event. HA! Fat chance!!!

A new sport in Australia is Professional League Barbecuing. Each round takes place on a beach in Australia, and whoever manages to grill and eat the most weight of meat is the winner. First prize is death by massive coronary thrombosis and a complimentary bout of irritable bowel syndrome thrown in for good measure, mate. Last year, at the end of the league, over 500 tonnes of meat was eaten by ten contestants, mate. There is another division of barbecuing called Extreme Power Barbecuing, mate. This is where the contestants have to take out their V8s from their cars, hook them up to their barbecues, and grill away, mate. So much meat is cooked in this league it is enough to feed an average sized farm of velociraptors, mate. Instead, the Australians have developed a system where they can use the meat to make new cars, which they ship off to the UK and US, mate. This is designed to kill as many English and Americans as possible, mate. This all slots into place with their master plan, which amounts to "bupkiss", mate.

Australian National Anthem

The "Offical national anthem" is called 'Advance Australia Fair', mate, but cause Aussie kids are made to sing it at every assembly in primary school, most of us fucking hate it, cunt. However, the nation does offer a smorgasbord of anthems from which any Aussie or visitor may like to choose. Although "Down Under" is the best unofficial Australian national anthem, mate.

God end the Queen's way too fukn old

This used to be the standard fare, but many Australians had not realised there are five verses to the song including one about buggering the Scots, and had trouble remembering more than the first verse, mate. Also the non-English citizens of Australia (more than 50% of the population in 1900) had "problems" with singing about a British rock band, mate.

The new selection includes:

Waltzing Matilda

The personal favourite of former Prime Monster Malcolm "The Grazier" Frazer, mate, who enjoyed the rousing words about the troopers and "squatters" (trans: wealthy land-owners) riding rough-shod over the poor "swagman" (trans: bum) who was only trying to huff a "jumbuck", mate (trans: sheep or kiwi – the context is not clear, mate).
