Personality and Interests
Australia is quiet when alone, but when approached she is friendly. Australia has very close ties with England, and has inherited his manners. Australia has an irresponsible care-free behaviour which America has influenced. She doesn't tend to get into conflicts, and lets accidents pass. She is a trustworthy country, and doesn't tend to try taking advantage of others. She tends to call people 'mate' often as an expression that she doesn't look down on them, but when ignored she gets rather angry. She often speaks softly and doesn't raise her voice, as a way to avoid fights.

She supports America in wars, but doesn't believe a lot of them are necessary. She gets a lot of music and art from America, and also technology. She has a liking for America's modern culture and is slowly catching up to him. Although she takes a lot of food influence from America, she also takes a fair amount from Asia. Her favourites foods are said to be Dim Sims, lamingtons, Tim Tams and Vegemite. She likes to drink beer, but doesn't get drunk often. During summer she likes to go swimming at the beach in the warm water. When she speaks she often abbreviates words and adds an 'i' or 'y' to the end.

Her hobbies include swimming and guitar. She cannot read the atmosphere She does not tend to react well in awkward situations. She has trouble expressing opinions without someone's opinion and is influenced much by others. When someone tries attacking her, she doesn't feel it much and begins to mock them by calling them 'dipsticks', which is Australian slang for 'idiot'. She also speak Indonesian, English, Italian and Japanese.
