Chapter 227: Fishermen Conflict

If the first two Cabinets focused on domestic development, starting with the third Cabinet, Australia also sought to develop its international influence, looking outward for more power and influence.

In July 1907, with the joint efforts of many Australasian artists and composers, the Kingdom of Australasia's national anthem, "Australasia, advance!" was officially born.

Although the name is somewhat similar to the historical Australian anthem, the content is entirely different.

Historically, the Australian national anthem represented Australia's detachment from war and its idyllic, carefree beauty.

However, the Australasian national anthem, while extolling the royal family and Arthur's contributions, encourages Australasians to join hands and push Australasia to the top of the world.

There are two versions of the national anthem: one is a purely instrumental version, used to be played on solemn occasions of the country.
