Description

Following decades of European exploration and colonization, six self-governing British colonies have emerged across Australia. While these colonies have developed vibrant societies, their independence does not come without challenges. Amid growing calls for unity, delegates from each colony—along with the neighboring colony of New Zealand—gather to draft a working constitution. In this committee, delegates will represent key actors tasked with balancing economic, infrastructural, defensive, and political priorities to shape the future of a nation. With the prospect of a unified Federation at stake, will delegates prioritize colonial and personal interests, or will they rise above regional rivalries to forge a united Commonwealth of Australia?
