The Commonwealth of Australia is referred to as "Australia". Its territory covers an area of ??7,692,024 square kilometers.

Australia was originally the habitat of Australian Aboriginals. In the 17th century, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch colonists arrived here successively. The arrival of the "First Fleet" in 1788 made it a British colony. In 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia was formed and became a British autonomous territory. In 1931 it became an independent country within the British Commonwealth.

Australia is a highly developed capitalist country with Canberra as its capital. As the most economically developed country in the southern hemisphere, the 12th largest economy in the world, and the fourth largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, it is also the world's largest exporter of various minerals, so it is called "the country sitting on the mine cart."

At the same time, Australia is also the country with the largest number of sheep and wool exports in the world. It is also known as the "country riding on the sheep's back". Australia's population is highly urbanized, with nearly half of its citizens living in Sydney and Melbourne, and many cities have been rated as one of the most livable places in the world.

It is also a sports powerhouse, hosting many global sports events all year round. Australia actively participates in international affairs and is a founding member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. It is also a member of the United Nations, the Group of 20, the Commonwealth, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Pacific Islands Forum.
