New Zealand Submits to Australian Influence

Following the establishment of a socialist workers' state in Australia, the Australian government is now working to exert its influence on the region. Citing calls from oppressed farmers and factory workers in New Zealand, Australia has been pressuring the New Zealand government to join in a "People's Union" of the South Pacific. Seeing itself surrounded, and with little hope of timely aid from the Britain, New Zealand has given in to the demands. While the Australian leader proclaims "the equality of all states as an extension of the equality of all people," there is little doubt as to which state is calling the shots.
