Talk:Australia

Why Australia remains outside control of the other powers
There are several theories as to why this is, including:


 * here, after it was colonised, Australia used its vast reserves of Uranium to build nuclear weapons and closed its borders. But the first nuclear weapon was F.L.E.I.J.A., made by Nina Einstein. Therefore, Australia cannot have nuclear weapons.


 * A response to the above theory was that Australia was simply the Switzerland of the Code Geass world, and remained neutral. This is a popular theory.


 * here The Australia Act in 1986 is a real-world act that ended British involvement in Australian government, so that Australia was fully recognised as an independent country. It is possible that a similar act was created between Australia and Britannia, in which Britannia recognised its independence. This would explain why Australia has not seen invasion.

There could be a chance that further information on Australia's stance will be provided in the coming third season.

Other theories
 * There is some debate on whether or not Australia was ever colonised by European settlers in the Code Geass timeline. However, as seen below, a yellow target for Schneizel's plan for peace is placed in Australia, which would lead some to believe that Australia is inhabited and capable of waging war.


 * This speculation was originally was originally posted by Knowledgio‎ on the main page.

Personally I suspect that the reasons Australia that remains independent is that it lacks any substantial resources such as sakuradite and doesn't have thought elevators residing within its territory and thus was able stay neutral. I find it hard to believe that Britannia would recognize the independence of another nation and not invade them on that alone, it seems more likely that they would have allowed Australia to continue to exist as tributary empire like Euro Britannia if they reached any agreement with them but it never shares the same color of Britannia or any of the other powers on any map shown throughout the show which would indicate that the country is neutral in the conflicts.--173.30.163.170 14:04, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
