I’m fairly certain Australia isn’t real

I was reading a thing about Yanks in Australia during WW2; and how, unlike when the Americans were in the UK wining and dining the British ladies while the majority of eligible young British men were off fighting in Europe, in Australia most of the Aussie soldiers and sailors got recalled back because they were needed to defend Oz from potential attack by the Japanese. So you had the hard-bitten Aussie troops getting mad because the flash Yank soldiers were "overpaid, oversexed, and over here" and stealing their women, to the point that actual riots broke out over it. Glad to see our special relationship has endured.
