Southeast Asia and Oceania


Indonesia- 11 735 citizens, a world and regional power it is currently holding territories in Australia, New Zealand and Colombia.

Australia- 1019 citizens, a troubled community, Australia has half of its original regions occupied by Indonesia, despite this, Australia is actively engaged in training wars with New Zealand and Chile, and holds Otago permanently as part of a region swap.

New Zealand- 778 citizens, has a significant Serbian population and has been heavily involved in South America recently, currently holding one Chilean region, it is also actively engaged in a training war with Australia and holds the region of Tasmania as part of a region swap.

Philippines- 367 citizens, recently involved in war with Indonesia that allowed the Indonesians to enter South America, currently has one region held by China due to a NE declaration that came as a surprise many in the Philippines. According to a recent article in the Philippines a request has been made to have this returned.

Singapore- 347 citizens, a small and mostly isolationist country that have recently been involved in wars with Malaysia and currently hold Peninsular Malaysia as tensions remain high.

Malaysia- 259 citizens, a small country that currently has tense relations with Singapore, however, both Singapore and Malaysia currently hold an MPP with Australia, and are therefore able to fight in Aus-NZ training war. This makes it unlikely a new war will start because this will have the effect of wiping both countries sole MPP.
