Iβm guessing that it may have a bit to do with other people vouching for your identity but I ask the question because Iβm thinking of writing a time travel novel and therefore need to know how the protagonist will prove their identity when engaging with the justice system of the time, acquiring/renting property and getting married etc. Iβm yet to decide precisely when I want it set but I do know that itβll take place somewhere between 1600 and 1899 in Britain but also possibly colonial Australia; the person is from Australia and so either travels back to Britain if the novelβs set prior to 1788(although explorers running into a random white dude in pre-colonial Australia could be interesting), or the novelβs set after 1788 and the protagonist travels back to colonial Australia.
I want to work out all the facts of the story before I actually decide whether itβd be worth writing.
So, changing subject from the hundreds of bugs and unifished textures, let me bring up some very bizarre things about the actual map changes in Leviathan Warships, ''Free time projects'' which were front and centre portrayed as a keystone of the patch that was to come alongside the expansion pack.
As some of you might remember, i made a similar post on Golden Century, but the Anglophone bias has only gotten worse, believe it or not Just like i said then, the development stats indicated that the EU4 team seemingly doesnt give a rat's backend about CNs that dont speak english in the modern day, and voila, Leviathan made a USA + Australia patch. Despite the absolute state of South America in EU4.
As for the development numbers themselves, through the use of custom nations, i measured the development of colonial regions yet again, and the results are complely beyond the pale. Here are they: https://i.imgur.com/FCafUSy.png
Your eyes do not decieve you. Colonial Australia has more development than Peru, the beating heart of the Spanish and Inca Empires. This is the kind of bias that would make the most wild of balkan nationalists blush. I already elaborated extensively in said biases in my old post, but this is now getting well into utterly comedic levels. Many of these areas didnt have a single urban settlement, compared to the many hundreds of those in modern Peru alone. Canada is also wealther than Colonial Peru somehow, i guess all those fur traders had some real nice hidden cities in the tundra.
The USA bias in development grew even more relentlessly, with the Thirteen Colonies continuing to be the worst offender. I've seen 4th of July parades less proud of the USofA than Paradox, who made just the eastern seaboard have almost twice the wealth of the Inca Empire before contact. Louisiana also got a buff for some reason, despite being throughly underdeveloped and of no interest to colonizers throughout the timeframe. South America was abandoned to rot yet again, except of one monument. Speaking of, fun fact! South America is the continent with the least number of Monuments in the game. Just one. As i said two years ago:
> And in the end, this is why North America has twice the number of Colonial Regions, and why Iberia did not get a ''proper'' update, as well as its most important Colonial holdings: EU4's modernity biased view of history, and col

Hello guys :) I'm in the process of writing a story that takes place in Australia and that involves a piece of s** who thinks being a missionary is still a thing. I'm French, so I know how to get access to litterature about colonizing (invading) Africa, and there is a lot of that litterature that is openly racist and very clichΓ© about how black people were looked at at this time, and about the exotism of this environment for occidental people. And that's exactly what I'm looking for, but Africa's and Australia's histories (on this period) have huge differences, and I'm having a hard time finding people talking about this period and the books that were written then. You know the kind of African saga where an adventurer goes to Congo and is amazed by the luxurious nature and the savages inhabiting it........ That's what I need for reference, but the Australian ones (to mock them, if it wasn't clear)
I'll appreciate anything that could put me on my way ! Thanks :)
Every city in Australia seems wonderful, but iβm sure, like in every large country with many cities, several of the cities are just βanother cityβ that could be in any other country. Every country has a cultural capital that may be different from its actual political or economic centers of the city. Like Chiangmai in Thailand, Marrakech in Morocco, Kyoto in Japan, Yogyakarta in Indonesia etc etc. What city in Australia would be the most Australian

American here. I have a weird fascination with Australian history lately, and I want to learn more about it. Any recommendations and where to stream it?
While scumbag White Supremacist Colonials openly threaten to murder Maori Women, MP's & others, after the Colonial Coward mass murder of innocent Muslims in Christchurch, their State instead continues to help uninvited wealthy White Property Speculators physically attack Maori trying to hold on to remaining land that the British haven't stolen yet. Kupapa and Kingitanga may shake every Colonial abuser Crown Politician, Royal, Corporate, Pedophile Christian Pope or Priests hands but the majority of us here and around the indigenous world (along with many others) cheer on the chance these racist imposter, thieves and murderers may be brought to justice for once. And their Institutions undone. They all put ropes around our ancestors necks after pretending to be allies. Instead of trying to heal the damage of their Empire murders and theft, Britain has run away to a racist Brexit that is being sold out by a corrupt Government to the corrupt National Security State of America. Who are now setting up rocket launches here. China is welcome to help address this unbalance. Haere mai.

Chinese diplomat urges Canada to stop human rights violations against indigenous people
"A senior Chinese diplomat urged Canada on Tuesday to immediately stop human rights violations against its indigenous people, and called on the United Nations Human Rights Council to keep following the human rights issues in Canada.
Jiang Duan, minister of the Chinese mission to the United Nations in Geneva, made the remarks at the ongoing 47th Session of the UN Human Rights Council, saying he is deeply concerned about serious human rights violations in the North American country.
Speaking on behalf of a group of countries, Jiang noted that historically, Canada robbed the indigenous people of their land, killed them, and eradicated their culture. The world was shocked to learn the recent discovery of the remains of over 200 indigenous children at a Canadian boarding school, he said.
He quoted reports as saying that during the 19th and 20th centuries, over 150,000 indigenous children in Canada have been forcibly taken away from their parents and sent to boarding schools.
"They were subjected to malnutrition, and many fell victims to abuse and rape. At least 4,000 children died of disease, neglect, accidents or abuse while at school

I understand that the view of the dangers of America's "wild west" have been somewhat diminished from the notions we've picked up from western movies.
Conversely, I've always felt that the wildness and lawlessness of the same era of Australian history has been somewhat understated.
My question is how does the period 1850-1900 compare in the two countries compare, especially with regard to the reality vs the mythology of America's "cowboys" and Australia's "bushrangers".
Was one place more dangerous, rougher and, I guess, wilder, harsher, more brutal, than the other?
"One of the colonies, established in December 1836, was the vast and dry territory of South Australia. In January 1837 it was a wilderness of gum trees, kangaroo grass, grass trees (blackboys), scrub, and native animals. A small figure could be discerned through the intense heat of an Australian summer. It was Colonel Light, the surveyor, with his helpers, pegging on to the wilderness the imaginary lines of what was to become the new city of Adelaide. Tormented by flies during the day, he woke up one morning in his tent next to a ten-centimetre centipede.
Yet in October 1840, only three years later, a polling booth was set up in the middle of the new town, and the ratepayers came to vote to elect the Corporation of Adelaide, with the councillors later electing the mayor. This was the first democratic election ever held on the continent of Australia, held in the most middle class of the Australian colonies, a colony of free settlers, as no convicts were ever transported to South Australia. The small polling booth, βgaily decorated with bannersβ, at the junction of two dusty and unpaved roads, so quiet that a booth in the centre of the crossroads was possible, was the beginning of one of the longest periods of continuous democratic rule in the world. Only North America, the Netherlands, Switzerland and a few other places are comparable." - Reg Hamilton, Colony: Strange Origins of One of the Earliest Modern Democracies, 2010
It should also be noted that the 1st Adelaide City Council election in 1840 was also the 1st ever Proportional Representation election in the world for a governing body.

"Who owns Australia? [check link for maps]
Complex web of data reveals large swathes of country controlled by small number of billionaires and large companies
Josh Nicholas, Calla Wahlquist, Andy Ball and Nick Evershed
Who owns the Australian outback is a vexed question. The true answer is First Nations peoples, whose ownership stems back 60,000 years. The legal answer is more complex. Itβs a mess of titles β freehold, pastoral leases, crown leases, public land, native title and land held by Aboriginal trusts.
And no two jurisdictions store or share that data in the same way.
Six months ago Guardian Australia set out to learn who owns the outback. The data we received was unwieldy, incomplete, inconsistent and often came with a hefty price tag. There is no nationally consistent protocol for recording land tenure and land use information, or even clearly established definitions of what constitutes ownership or control of land.
So, in the absence of official data, we have collated large datasets from every state and territory and pieced together a database of land ownership. We then looked to the work of a rural newspaper, the Weekly Times, which has been tracking farm ownership. We also looked at information contained in media reports, official websites of known major landowners, cattle brand directories, government servers and other online maps.
The information we have sourced paints a picture of increasingly consolidated land ownership in outback Australia and a growing Indigenous estate.
Who owns Australia?
Showing land categorised by tenure type into three categories. Notes: 1) Pastoral leases are grouped with private ownership as the leaseholder effectively has control of the land for some purposes, though not to the same degree as for freehold. 2) The percentage for Indigenous ownership shows two measures, the first being exclusive title areas, the second includes non-exclusive native title areas 3) Crown Leases shows areas in NSW and TAS for which we were unable to determine if they are pastoral or publ
A common trait Assassinβs Creed groups have is the constant theorizing about future settings, because historical tourism is one of the best parts of the series. This series of posts will act as a counter to my Mildly Obscure setting discussions, but rather than looking at a single point, I will be taking a broad setting that is popular and looking at several potential settings to explore within it. Todayβs setting is Colonial Australia.
The Rum Rebellion
Australia began as a Penal Colony for the British in the 1780s who were seeking to undermine the French in the region; and subsequently, the city of Sydney was the de-facto capital of the New South Wales colony where thousands of prisoners were sent. In 1804 Irish convicts who were part of a rebellion 6 years prior rose up again with 233 men. Martial Law was declared quickly and Major George Johnston mobilized 97 men to fight the rebels at Rouse Hill. 15 Died in battle with 9 more executed (including the ringleader Phillip Cunningham) and 23 exiled. Johnston subsequently became the commander of the New South Wales Corps, and over the next 3 years may have investigated further plots by Irish Rebels that had escaped and tried to start new uprisings.
William Bligh became Governor of Sydney in 1805 only to begin clashing with the rich elite of New South Wales who controlled and were pioneers in Australian Rum and Wool industries including John Macarthur. Beyond taking land from these men, allegedly he was interfering with the New South Wales Corps affairs and was abusive towards the men, as reported by Major Johnston in 1807 to the British Military. This in turn culminated with a coup and arrest of Governor Bligh in January of 1808 by Macarthur and Johnston. After contacting allies in Tasmania and sacking some land and reselling it, the two were eventually removed from office in 1810 with Lachlan Macquarie instated as Governor. He would spend the next 11 years transforming New South Wales into a free colony. Macquarie would most likely be portrayed as an Assassin Ally, though I could Macarthur and Johnston also being allies, who either broke the tenets of the creed by being too public, or they could be Templars attempting to seize land for themselves looking for vaults, as several are on the Australian Continent.
