The Commonwealth of Australia is a branch of the United Nations centered around the continental mainland of Australia. Governed by a federal parliamentary system, it encompasses the former nations of Australia, New Zealand, East Timor and numerous other islands in the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans.

Originally established at the beginning of the 20th from the English colonies established, Australia would become a regional superpower and a close ally of the European Union and the United Republic of North American. Maintaining a small but significant spaceworthy navy, the Australian military would participate in the Rainforest Wars and the larger Interplanetary Wars. It was influential in reforming Earth into a planetary government, and has remained so ever since.
