======================================== =====================================

January – February – March 2008
- Due to a weak and/or ineffective President(s), no international relations are promoted in the forms of NAPs or MPPs.

April 2008
- In a surprise attack Indonesia goes to war with Australia, citing a "rude letter" from and Australian President as justification.
- Australia, with a very small user base, is unable protect itself and quickly succumbs to the military strength of Indonesia.
- The Battle of Queensland is the major battle in this war where an act of heroism shown by zaney defeated over 60 Indonesian soldiers before eventually relocating to Canberra.
- Defeated, the Australians go into exile to countries like eUSA, eUK, and eCanada.
- Contact is kept via external forums to maintain contact between Australian Citizens living abroad.
- Australian Independence Movement is formed.

June 2008
- The Australian Liberation Party is formed within Indonesia as a political option for the Australians who decide to stay in Indonesia.

July 2008
- New country forum is created.

October 2008
- First round of talks with the Indonesians are unsuccessful.

November 2008
- The Australian Independence Movement launches a Australian Independence War in New South Wales with the support of ATLANTIS forces; however, due to poor communication it fails.
- The failed Resistance War, having gotten the attention of Indonesia, prompts the Indonesians to negotiate the release of New South Wales and Victoria with an additional region in 30 days after the release of the Victoria.

December 2008
- A Provisional Government is formed under zaney and the rebuilding of the Australian economy is started.
- Two new political parties are create😛 the Australian Labour Party, which transforms into the Australian Democratic Socialist Party (ADSP), and the Australian National Party (ANP). The Provisional Government party is transformed into Advance Australia Alliance.
- First Congress elections, ANP gains majority, surprisingly.

January 2009
- Australia starts to enjoy some mild prosperity.
- The Indonesian Government, in a surprise move, wants to charge more GOLD then expected for the release of Northern Territory. Negotiations are currently ongoing. However, a acceptable compromise it reached to the satisfaction of both Governments.
- Cottus Arci, an Australia who rallied Canadians to help free Australia and was Canadian President twice, is elected Prime Minister of Australia. His party, the ADSP, is still the prominent party, having majority in the Senate and having the current Prime Minister.
- Australia sees a rise in a "radical" resistance approach by groups such as the "Thors Hammar" and "Independent Australian Army" who pose a threat to the fragile peace between Indonesia and Australia. There are many who question the intelligence/motivations of the group (they are believed to be backed by foreign countrys who wish to use Australia as a staging ground for their own anti-Indonesian efforts).
- A lack of communication on the part of the Indonesians prevents the release of NT (everybody defended), a second one was to happen but due to bugs in the eRepublik system, is put on hold indefinitely.
- Second Congress, or House of Representatives, is elected. ADSP gains majority.

February 2009
- Northern Territory is finally freed. Over the next month, Australia's economy rockets up with the introduction of diamonds.
- Cottus Arci is re-elected Prime Minister of Australia.
- The socialist government is attacked by the right-wing public after MoF, patti11, institutes a market boycott law, for foreign companies and companies that break other instituted company laws, that the Senate does not agree with. Prime Minister Cottus Arci withdraws the law.
- Two new parties are born in Australia: the Australian Independents Party, a party which does not have any real policies and lets members run through it without having to choose a mainstream party, and the Australia Communist Party, a far-left libertarian party. They both win four seats at the next Senate elections. ADSP wins majority again.

March 2009
- Australian economy boom settles down, only to be affected again by a growth in companies.
- Derek Apollyon (ADSP) is elected Prime Minister of Australia after Cottus Arci steps down. He begins his office quite actively.
- As it seems a threat to national security, the inactive party Advance Australia Alliance is taken over by Minister of Trade corny-ratbag and transformed into the True Blue Party.
- In the Senate elections, ADSP gains majority and the True Blue Party gains five seats, despite being created days away from the elections. AIP and ACP gain two seats each, and ANP gains six.
