Editing Post-Cold War (section)

=== Oceania ===

The 2010s had been a political clusterfuck in the Land Down Under. Over a decade of [[Game of Thrones]]-style political backstabbings has led Australia to transition to ''[[EPIC FAIL|six Prime Ministers]]''. This levels of dysfunctionality has led the degrading of Australia's stature in the Oceania region and the rise of New Zealand being the only adult in the room. To make matters worse for Australia, rampant political lobbying has turned Australia's potential as a leader in renewable energy into a circus filled with coal and fossil fuel executives. Likewise, neglect and outright political corruption from the Australian liberal coalition had led to the worse bushfires in Australia since 2009, leading to over ''1 billion'' Australian animals to perish in the fires. This neglect was not only restricted to the environment, as it also translates to Australia's diplomacy [[fail]]s towards the Pacific Island Nations, as climate change is very much an existential threat for them. But Canberra's [[That Guy|dismissive attitude]] towards them had cost Australia plenty of goodwill in the region. Suffice to say, the new labour administration has a lot of baggage to unfuck Australia's position, and it will take a ''long time'' to rebuild the lost trust with its island neighbours.
