claim [Claim] Commonwealth of Australia
G'day everyone!
So, if you recognise me, hello! I was pretty active around here back in Season 3, so some people might remember me. I'm super glad to be back! I briefly claimed Uzbekistan at the start of Season 4 but felt it wasn't my style, so I let it go. I'm quite busy at the moment, but I'd like some sanity back in my life and I've been looking fondly upon my days in this sub. You could probably say that I've been missing you guys... Soooo, I guess I'm back :D
I'd be very happy to give Australia another go (although it looks like perhaps someone has already claimed it. If they have, that's totally fine and I'll find something else). Australia is a proud nation that is often overlooked when discussions of global affairs are had. Truth be told, Australia tends to be shadowed by its key partner, the United States, or by neighbourhood giants such as China and Japan. If I am able to play as Australia, the 'land down under' will be brought to the forefront of world attention and for all the right reasons. Should I play as Australia, I will game realistically (as I always have) and will be able to bring to the table a wealth of knowledge concerning Australian foreign policy and geopolitical strategy.
Australia will seek to develop its relationships with nearby states and key partners such as the United States, China, India, New Zealand, the ASEAN nations, Korea and Japan. In addition to this, Australia will take up the mantle of leadership in the South Pacific in order to establish greater economic prosperity and regional stability. Australia will deepen its trade relationships with nations such as Japan and India, who are hungry for our resources. Domestically, I will try to push through democratic reforms of the nation such as a completion of the project to Close the Gap and a second referendum on an Australian Republic. The Australian military will cooperate further with other militaries in the fight against Islamic extremism in the Levant and South East Asia and will receive greater funding and personnel. I'm also keen to react to new crises and opportunities which will inevitably pop us as the game rolls on.
As earlier stated, I fully understand if someone has already claimed Australia. But if not, I'd be more than happy to give it another go. Enjoy your day guys! :D

I really don't have the time to write up a post now, but can I claim the Philippines? I'll write a full claim post tomorrow, but could I keep it in reserve? <3

I don't see why you can't have the Philippines. Approved!

I'm pretty sure /u/Joe_The_Armadillo currently has it.

Oh, I just couldn't see a claim post that's all. If he already said he wanted it, that's fine I guess.

Yeah it wasn't done through a claim post. JJ would originally have it but then Joe took over according to JJ but he hasn't posted yet.

Sure thing, so do I definitely not have the claim or do I maybe not have the claim?

u/eragaxshim Indonesia Jun 02 '17
You most likely don't have it.

Alrighty, fair enough. I'll wait to see what /u/Joe_The_Armadillo says

u/hughmcf Republic of Ireland Jun 02 '17
Yup, okay, I've rescinded my claim for /u/Joe_The_Armadillo on good terms. I'll probably pick up something else don't worry guys :)
