I sometimes also call Australia as a whole the Texas of the Commonwealth nations. We're big, we have snakes and desert, we love big things, we're ornery and we've flirted with secession more than once.

Texas wanted to secede because they're racists who want slaves. Australian republicans hate living under a dictatorship and want a government based on democracy.
