I don't like the name Shakespeare for the capital... it just doesn't seem Australian at all. Too imposed by English colonists, me thinks.

Do you know if Shakespeare is an actual settlement in Australia?

Well, it might be, but I know it's not the name of the city in its place here IOTL.

Canberra, the capital of Australia.

No, Canberra was chosen because it was roughly equidistant from Sydney and Melbourne. My question was what city, if any, is located on the border between NSW and Victoria, which was obviously used as a different kind of compromise as the OTL.

Did Western Australia refuse to join the confederation, or did it secede in the 1930s?

Is Western Australia an independent state, or occupied by someone else ? I've always wondered why it stands away from the British on your maps. Was it the Revolution that made it independent ?

Read the book: World of Fight and Be Right By (Ayn Rand, Head of the a Jewish homeland in Australia)

I have. I am still slightly confused, because it has been awhile.

In 1933, Western Australia pledged to secede from Australia if it ever decided to break the last of its ties to Great Britain.

This conversation has been going on for nearly four years now

Well I know how edthomasten rarely ever replies to comments, and I knew enough about the history behind Western Australia and Auralia to feel confident that I can answer the question correctly.

I was hoping the gray area represented Erewhon, or maybe Elektropolis....

I had never heard of either of those. I would think that Erewhon would be in southern New Zealand, but I dont know much about that. I couldnt find any definition of "Elektropolis" that had anything to do with Oceania.

It's a novel written by Otfrid von Hanstein: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otfrid_vβ¦
Elektropolis was built in the remote fastnesses of Western Australia by a secretive inventor known only as "Herr Schmidt", equipped with astonishing electrically-powered infrastructure (lighting, heating, communication, transportation), and defended against a jealous world with (you guessed it) electrical super-weapons.
