    Sometimes I question if Australia is in fact a real place. Kangaroos are mammals that evolved entirely on the basis of jumping everywhere as opposed to running, the Australian military essentially lost a war with a goddamn bird, and the entire continent of Australia has been successfully invaded and conquered by... rabbits.

      The Treaty of Campion led to a stalemate between Australia and the Emus. Australia successfully defended their territory but failed to eradicate the Emus. However the Emus' imperialistic ambitions were left unfulfilled due to being stabbed in the back by the cowardly Kiwi birds.
