Australasia's military expansion was not good news for the Island Nation.

Counting the forces from the Philippines and Kalimantan, Australasia could control an army size of over 1.3 million, which is more than three times the size of the Island Nation Army.

In the Pacific Ocean, Australasia's sole contender is the Island Nation. The purpose of the expansion is obvious, and this has caused a high level of tension within the Island Nation.

The current Island Nation is facing a very different situation from its historical counterpart.

Due to its small size, the Island Nation has little petroleum of its own. Historically, prior to World War II, the Island Nation was extremely reliant on petroleum imported from the United States.

One set of data illustrates just how exaggerated the Island Nation's dependency on foreign petroleum was. Before World War II, over 90% of the Island Nation's total petroleum consumption came from imports.
