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)

Queensland. It’s Queensland.

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.

I don’t think this person knows much about either country beyond stereotypes

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.

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