      As someone who lives in Auscalifornia, it is kind of uncannily accurate.

        As someone from New Mexico, I’m just happy to be included (Americans often assume it’s a country outside the USA)

    I sometimes also call Australia as a whole the Texas of the Commonwealth nations. We’re big, we have snakes and desert, we love big things, we’re ornery and we’ve flirted with secession more than once.

    In Australia we believe in equality, so I’ll piss off all the states.

    Victoria : “afDanistan”, wokeville. Small latte drinkers who don’t have a driver’s licence. Labourers and Stop/Go people on $200,000.

    New South Wales: dumb boomers on $3m property. Driving at 80kmh on their Learner drivers plates. Shit at rugby. Sydney nightlife ends at 9pm.

    South Australia: “oh yeah I have an auntie there I think.” Nothing to do. Their water tastes funny. Churches everywhere. Weird 1.5hr timezone.

    Western Australia: If you want to know why there’s a wait time for Toyota’s, it’s bloody WA buying them all. Full of cashed up bogans in lifted land cruisers. Have to watch footy at lunch time because they are 3 timezones away. If you are anti social and don’t mind a 6hr drive to anywhere live there.

    Tasmania: 10 people live there with a mild sense of imbreeding. Looks kinda nice, but why would you go to Tassy if you can go to New Zealand for the same price.

    Northern Territory: biggest employers, the mines and Pine Gap (the CIA base). Otherwise it’s Australia’s poverty lane.

    Australian Capital Territory: Australia’s Uni campus. A concrete jungle, a tiny town where we keep the big wigs who are driven everywhere in black BMWs or Camry’s.

    I work on a remote team with three Australians who live in three different states. I’m sure they’ll appreciate this! Especially the Ausalabaman guy!

      I can’t speak for the Australian version, but US Oregon is pretty hit or miss depending on which part.

    Nice, does Australian NJ also have a very beautiful environment once you leave the populous north, or is it flipped since it’s Australia?

      Canberra is called the Bush Capital. It’s a small city in the middle of a lot of bush, it’s very beautiful.

    New Jersey right in the middle of California? Sounds like Bakersfield/Fresno/Modesto.

      Because 99% of the people live near the coast line and it’s all beaches and generally laid back.

      Whereas the large interior is dry, hot outback with very few people.

    The Northern Territory contains no alligators, and three "Alligator River"s
