{{Quote|Let [[Russia]] never repeat the mistakes of this country.|[[Zarya]]}} {{Infobox map | name = Australia | image = Flag of Australia.png | type = | location = Oceania | terrain = Various }} '''Australia''' is a country in the Earth's southern hemisphere. ==History== Australia was nearly destroyed during the [[Omnic Crisis]]. Following the war, government officials gifted the country's [[omnium]] and the surrounding area to the [[omnic]]s, hoping to establish a long-term peace accord. This arrangement displaced a large number of people from the country's vast and remote Outback—a scattered collection of survivalists, solar farmers, and people who just wanted to be left alone. Furious over the loss of their homes, some of the displaced turned to violent rebellion. They formed the [[Australian Liberation Front]] and struck against the omnium and its robot population to take back their lands. Events continued to escalate until the rebels sabotaged the omnium's fusion core, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the facility, irradiated the region, and littered the Outback with twisted metal and wreckage for kilometers around.<ref name = "Roadhog">[http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/roadhog/ Roadhog], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2015-23-09</ref> The Outback became unlivable to most, but there were some who survived. Calling themselves the [[Junkers]], they scavenged the husk of the omnium and formed a lawless, cutthroat society in its shadow.<ref name = "Junkrat">[http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/junkrat/ Junkrat], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2015-23-09</ref> Currently, Australia is one of the countries affected by the [[Second Omnic Crisis]].<ref>''[[Recall (animation)|Recall]]''</ref> ==Known Locations== [[File:Australia.jpg|thumb|Australia as seen from space]] ===Cities=== *[[Junkertown]] *[[New Junk City]] *[[Sydney]] **[[Sydney Harbour Arena]] ===Regions=== *[[Wasteland]] **[[Burning Lands]] ==Notable Nationals== :''Main article: [[:Category:Australian characters|List of Australian nationals]]'' *[[Jamison Fawkes]] *[[Mason Howl]] *[[Victoria Naughton]] *[[Mako Rutledge]] *[[Odessa Stone]] ==Trivia== *Australia's flag was revealed to be the same as the real-world Commonwealth of Australia as a player icon during the 2016 [[Summer Games]]. *Australia's flag and dialogue from [[Junkrat]] in-game imply that it still retains the same constitutional monarch as the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>''[[Overwatch]]'', ''[[Junkrat/Quotes|Junkrat Quotes]]''</ref> *In an interaction between [[Roadhog]] and [[Mauga]], Roadhog responds that the rates for mercenaries "down there" are modest. It is unclear if this refers to [[Junkertown]], or Australia as a whole. ==References== <references/> [[Category: Countries]]
