Australia

Basic Information

Australia is both a country and Earth's smallest continent. It is located in the southern hemisphere between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

Game and Story Use

• Its remote location makes Australia a popular setting for post-apocalyptic settings - the theory is that it is isolated enough from the rest of the world that the global plague or whatever the trigger for the apocalypse was doesn't reach its shores in time.
• Conversely, in some settings only Australia is affected - as a way of showing that the event might have easily destroyed humanity, if the isolation of Australia hadn't prevented it.
