Commonwealth of Australia
The Commonwealth of Australia is an island nation located in the continent of Oceánie in the south Tichý oceán. The sixth-largest country by land area (including the Torresovy úžinové ostrovy, Tasmánie, and other outlying islands), Australia's interior is mostly desert, and the country has ¬ 24,141,800 people, most of whom live along the coast in cities.
Austrálie byla osídlena Spojené království v průběhu konce 18. století, počínaje James Cook's discovery of the island in 1770, a od 26. ledna 1788 byl ostrov používán jako trestanecká kolonie. To vedlo k rychlému osídlení a na ostrově bylo založeno pět korunních kolonií, které se 1. ledna 1901 staly společenstvím.
Od té doby je to liberal democratic country, having the twelflfth-largest economy in the world and the fifth-highest per capita income.
The country is still a part of Commonwealth of Nations, and Queen Elizabeth II of Britain is still considered as the de jure ruler of the country, represented in Australia by her Governor-General; the Prime Minister is the de facto head of state.
