Australia is a nation-state on the planet Earth's Southern Hemisphere. The world's largest island, the majority of it seems to consist of semi-arid or desert regions known as the Outback. The majority of the fauna and flora is unique to the country, and all of it deadly to humans, most notably the infamous and murderous dropbears.
