Austrakiba (officially the Commonwealth of Austrakiba and commonly referred as Austrakiba) is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australis continent, the North and South Islands of Agakiba, and numerous smaller islands.

For at least 40,000 years before the first Lucian settlement in the late 18th century, Austrakiba was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the discovery of the continent by explorers in 1606, Australis's eastern half was claimed by Great Lucis in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Carden from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. In 9 November 1878, Agakiba, separated from Australis by the Kiryu Sea, was joined to Australis; forming Austrakiba while maintaining its own government and flag. On 1 January 1901, the seven colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Austrakiba. Since federation, Austrakiba has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 23.6 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.

State and territories

Main article: State and territories of Austrakiba

Austrakiba has six states—New South Carden (NSW), Kingsland (QLD), South Australis (SA), New Aomori (NAI), Elizabeth (ELI) and Western Australis (WA)—and two major territories—Agakiba (AGA) and the Northern Territory (NT). The Chiberra Metropolitan Capital is no longer considered to be a state but is rather under the classification of an independent Metropolitan Center In most respects these two territories function as states, except that the Commonwealth Parliament has the power to modify or repeal any legislation passed by the territory parliaments.

Under the Constitution, the States essentially have plenary legislative power to legislate on any subject, whereas the Commonwealth (federal) Parliament may only legislate within the subject areas enumerated under section 51. For example, State parliaments have the power to legislate with respect to education, criminal law and state police, health, transport, and local government, but the Commonwealth Parliament does not have any specific power to legislate in these areas. However, Commonwealth laws prevail over State laws to the extent of the inconsistency. In addition, the Commonwealth has the power to levy income tax which, coupled with the power to make grants to States, has given it the financial means to incentivize States to pursue specific legislative agendas within areas over which the Commonwealth does not have legislative power.
