History[edit]
Aboriginal Penguins and Colonization[edit]
Penguins have lived in Austiceia for a very long time. Records exist of Aboriginal Penguins residing in Austiceia, which date back up to 50,000 years ago. These penguins are commonly believed to have come from the northern regions, like Asiapelago. These penguins are also believed to have spread out from the north of the continent, traveling from present day Asiapelago to the Northern Austiceian Territories, before eventually reaching down to Tanksmerna. This spread is believed to have taken several thousand years. These Aboriginal Penguins have living in Austiceia for the thousands of years until colinization. In that time, they have developed many diverse societies spread around the continent. All of these separate societies had different languages, beliefs and ways of life.
During the 16th and 17th centuries many large civilizations, like the Puffish, Castillian and Frankterran began to explore the wide and undiscovered seas. The first non-Aboriginal discoverer of Austiceia is often debated, although it is generally agreed that the the Batavians did. These Batavians 'accidentally' discovered Austiceia, after being blown off-course from their original journey to the nearby Batavian colony, Hindonesie. The Batavians who discovered Austiceia named it New Batavia. Despite naming it, they did not establish any colonies.
Many Ninja Archipelagoian explorers and sailors continued to map the coast of New Batavia. The most famous of all was named Jamison Cooker. Cooker was a Puffish explorer who mapped the eastern coast of Austiceia in 1770. By the time he finished mapping it, Cooker claimed the eastern coast of Austiceia for Puffle'and. A few years later, in 1788, the first colony was established, in what is now called Sydden.
Expansion[edit]
In 1815, several more penguins and puffles came to Austiceia from Puffle'and. And in the 1820's more colonies, such as at Milborne and Bridgebane and Purt, were established. Meanwhile, Sydden was increasing in population, and needed to expand. So they sent explorers into the interior. Most of it was desert, but the Syddensiders didn't care. They built settlements such as Darnwing, Adenmaid, and Alin Rings in the mid-to late-1800's. Unfortunately, they ran into trouble with the Aboriginal Penguins. There were several wars and conflicts between the two, until the Puffish were able to defeat them in the 1920's.
Austiceia continued to expand well into the 20th century. It steadily grew as a large power in the region and became one of Puffle'and's largest colonies, rivaling Calada.

The parliament debates on bills and laws, and when they manage to get through both the lower and upper house, named the House of Commons and the Senate respectively, the proposed law is sent off to the King of Puffle'and. After the King signs off the proposed law, it then becomes a fully instated law.
