Origins of the Anglo Republic of Australia

The Anglo Republic of Australia was forged amid a violent uprising led by a syndicate of miners and tradesmen who felt utterly betrayed by the old order. When mega-corporations and powerful banks slashed wages, seized assets, and forced labourers into bleak conditions, a coalition of disgruntled workers rallied under a new, fiercely nationalist banner. Denouncing the financiers and company owners as profiteers hoarding Australia’s vast mineral wealth, the rebels seized control of key mining towns and port facilities in a sweeping campaign that toppled the existing government.

Under the iron-fisted leadership of Managing Director Icarus Wyvern, the coalition solidified a Stratocracy, merging military discipline with fascist social policies aimed at restoring “traditional” values. Despite touting itself as a movement “for the people,” the new regime clamped down hard on freedoms, blaming immigrants for economic woes. Laws were passed to slash immigration quotas and deport “undesirables” who lacked proper papers, intensifying the focus on preserving resources solely for native Australians.

With bank directors dethroned and corporate heads exiled, the newly christened Anglo Republic of Australia declared its allegiance to extreme right-wing economics, selling the dream of a self-sustaining worker-state free from “foreign meddling.” Pollution spiralled into crisis due to accelerated industrial expansion, but the regime’s grip on power remained firm. Shouts of pride and fear alike echoed in the mines and factories, as the government’s firm hold on the economy fuelled its grand vision of national rebirth, even as it alienated much of the wider world.

Thus, in just a few days, the nation emerged from the ashes of corporate strangleholds into a world shaped by iron-willed order, radical nationalism, and a promise that the workers themselves would command Australia’s destiny… at least, under Icarus Wyvern’s uncompromising gaze.
