Bab 246: Chapter 227: Fishermen Conflict

If the first two Cabinets focused on domestic development, starting with the third Cabinet, Australia also sought to develop its international influence, looking outward for more power and influence.

In July 1907, with the joint efforts of many Australasian artists and composers, the Kingdom of Australasia's national anthem, "Australasia, advance!" was officially born.

Although the name is somewhat similar to the historical Australian anthem, the content is entirely different.
