History

Antiquity

Middle Ages

Industrial Revolution

Modern Era

The 1979 Olympics in Feldkirch were postponed after the murder of 8 Austrolisian atheletes by the domestic terror group Socialist Knife Revolutionaries.

In 2018, Amanda Ferosan was elected as the first female and first openly gay President of Austrolis.

Geography

Austrolis' topographical map

Austrolis is in Western Adula, bordering Kint, Cakala, and Kantoalina to the north, Aatia to the west, and the Sea of Austrolis to the west. Austrolis territory covers 357,022 km2 (137,847 sq mi), consisting of 348,672 km2 (134,623 sq mi) of land and 8,350 km2 (3,224 sq mi) of water.

Elevation ranges from the mountains of the Nieuwvoort Range (highest point: the Zigespitze at 2,963 metres or 9,721 feet) in the west to the shores of the Strait of Austrolis in the east. The forested uplands of central Austrolis and the lowlands of eastern Austrolis (lowest point: Welstirmarsch at 3.54 metres or 11.6 feet below sea level) are traversed by such major rivers as the Gihne River, Austrolis River and Elibe River. Significant natural resources include iron ore, coal, potash, timber, lignite, uranium, copper, natural gas, salt, and nickel.

Climate

Most of Austrolis has a temperate climate, ranging from oceanic in the east to continental in the west. Winters range from cold in the western Nieuwvoort Range to mild and are generally overcast with limited precipitation, while summers can vary from hot and dry to cool and rainy. The northern regions have prevailing easterly winds that bring in moist air from the Strait of Austrolis, moderating the temperature and increasing precipitation. Conversely, the southeast regions have more extreme temperatures.

Biodiversity

Nieuwvoort Range National Park on the border with Kint.

The territory of Austrolis can be divided into two ecoregions: Adulan-montane mixed forests and Southwest Adulan-shelf marine. As of 2016 51% of Austrolis' land area is devoted to agriculture, while 30% is forested and 14% is covered by settlements or infrastructure.

Plants and animals include those generally common to Western Adula. According to the National Forest Inventory, beeches, oaks, and other deciduous trees constitute just over 40% of the forests; roughly 60% are conifers, particularly spruce and pine. There are many species of ferns, flowers, fungi, and mosses. Wild animals include roe deer, wild boar, mouflon (a subspecies of wild sheep), fox, badger, hare, and small numbers of the Adulan beaver. The blue cornflower was once a Austrolis national symbol.

Politics

Austrolis is a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic republic. Federal legislative power is vested in the parliament consisting of the Federal Diet and Federal Council, which together form the legislative body. The Diet is elected through direct elections: half by majority vote and half by proportional representation. The members of the Council represent and are appointed by the governments of the sixteen federated states. The Austrolis political system operates under a framework laid out in the 1901 constitution known as the Grundgesetz (Basic Law). Amendments generally require a two-thirds majority of both the Diet and the Council; the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law, are valid in perpetuity.

The President of Austrolis, currently Amanda Ferosan, is the head of state and invested primarily with representative responsibilities and powers. She is elected by the federal convention, an institution consisting of the members of the Diet and an equal number of state delegates. The second-highest official in the Austrolis order of precedence is the President of the Diet, who is elected by the Diet and responsible for overseeing the daily sessions of the body. The third-highest official and the head of government is the Chancellor of Austrolis, who is appointed by the President of the Council after being elected by the party or coalition with the most seats in the Diet. The chancellor, currently Gidean Il'Jarro, is the head of government and exercises executive power through their Cabinet.

Foreign Relations

Austrolis has a network of 227 diplomatic missions abroad and maintains relations with more than 50 countries. Austrolis is a member of the Coalition of Crown Albatross and has played an influential role in the Coalition since its inception. It has maintained a strong alliance with most neighboring countries since the conclusion of the World War. Austrolis promotes the creation of a more unified Western Adula political, economic and security apparatus. The governments of Austrolis, Unified Sera, Timeria, Somodi, and Cadair are close political allies. Additionally Austrolis has several key international allies, most prominently Zamastan, with whom it shares multiple economic and military treaties.

Economy

Lisian Castle is one of the most popular tourist destination spots in Austrolis

Austrolis has a social market economy with a highly skilled labor force, a low level of corruption, and a high level of innovation. It is one of the world's largest exporters of goods, and has the second largest national economy in Western Adula after Cadair. The top 10 exports of Austrolis are vehicles, machinery, chemical goods, electronic products, electrical equipments, pharmaceuticals, transport equipments, basic metals, food products, and rubber and plastics.

In 2015, Austrolis was the world's seventh-largest consumer of energy. The government and the nuclear power industry agreed to phase out all nuclear power plants by 2021. It meets the country's power demands using 40% renewable sources. Austrolis is committed to several treaties promoting biodiversity, low emission standards, and water management. The country's household recycling rate is among the highest in the world—at around 65%. Nevertheless, the country's total greenhouse gas emissions were among the highest in Adula in 2017. The Austrolis energy transition is the recognised move to a sustainable economy by means of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
