Colonial Australia (abbreviated as COA) is a nation located in the southern central part of the Australian continent and a member of the Osiris region. It covers a total land area of 983,482 square kilometres, and was the fourth-largest state in Australia before its annexation in 2016. It has a total population of 167 million people, which is highly centralised around the capital Adelaide and its surrounds, although the sudden massive population burst in recent years has forced many tens of millions to relocate further out.

All of Colonial Australia's borders are shared with Australian states and territories - Northern Territory to the north, Western Australia to the west, Queensland to the north-east, New South Wales to the east and Victoria to the south-east. The southern border is made up of the Great Australian Bight and the Southern Ocean. The nation's colonial origins date back to the early 19th century when plans were made for a freely settled and planned British province, unique to Australia. The colony was officially proclaimed on 28 December 1836 at the beach-side town of Glenelg - more specifically the Old Gum Tree - by Governor John Hindmarsh.

The region was previously occupied by Aboriginal peoples, most notably those of the Kaurna tribe. The original goal of settlement was to establish the province as a centre of civilisation for free immigrants, promising civil liberties and religious tolerance. The previous state's recent history was marked by economic hardship, owing to the government-run State Bank collapse in 1991. The subsequent privatisation of the state's electricity trust to make ends meet and the deregulation of electricity prices in the state led to the state having the highest electricity prices in the world, even though the power supply is extremely prone to blackouts.

Even after the rather hostile takeover and annexation of the state, Colonial Australia remains well-known for its fine wines and numerous cultural festivals. The rather large amount of Chinese immigrants on top of the nation's already heavily Chinese influenced culture has lead to Mandarin becoming the nation's primary language alongside English. The economy is dominated by the agricultural, mining and manufacturing industries.
