Australian Federation Proposed Across Australasia
A future federation named the United States of Australasia would unite five Australasia colonies. West Australia and New Zealand may join later. The federation would feature a federal parliament with a queen represented by a governor general and an executive council. The lower house would control finances while the senate suggests amendments. Population and area would rival early U.S. levels, with New Zealand, Tasmania, Fiji, and parts of New Guinea potentially joining. Foreign trade would be substantial, aided by rich resources and agriculture.
