Australiaball

Australia, or Australiaball is a countryball between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific. It is a part of the Anglosphere. Finally can into Eurovision.

Pre-Colonization
As a Pacific island, Australiaball was once inhabited by 7balls. These 7balls enjoyed life quite nicely in the otherwise harsh desert. They learned to love and to care for the animals and plants that lived there. sometimes they burnt large patches of dead, dry grass and this freed up land for new plants to grow.

These 7balls most likely came to Australia when the world's glaciers expanded and sea levels dropped. This meant that Australia was connected to New Guinea and that Tasmania was connected to the mainland.

Discovery, Exploration and Colonization
Everything changed when the Dutch made their first landing on Australia. They sailed in the Duyfken and were led by Wilhelm Janszoon. They then made another discovery, this time, it was Abel Tasman who discovered Tasmania (named after him). James Cook and his men landed at Botany Bay in Sydney.

After USAball rebelled against his former master and overlord, UKball needed somewhere else to dump his convicts. So he dumped them in Australia, which became the World's Largest Prison (back then). Things were tough for the convicts, because the land wasn't as fertile as Britains and there was so many deadly animals. Meanwhile, the 7balls were getting a hard time as well, and they were treated very harshly.

Post-Colonization
After Australiaball got independence from UKball, it started to develop its own ways and culture. For example, take the world-famous or rather world-infamous Vegemite. Apparently only Australians can eat Vegemite. Then there's beer. Victoria Bitter, Carlton Draught, all good beers.

And who could ever forget AFL? It's one of the most popular sports in Australia. Thousands of people go to the stadiums to watch their favourite teams duke it out and even more people sit back at home with a beer or two and watch the show. There is also Neighbours which is a drama TV show running for more than 30 years.

Wars
Australia has been in both world wars because he was dragged in by both UKBall and USAball. He was also dragged into the Vietnam war ( Do not mention it at all).His most famous (and most regrettable) war was the Emu War where Australiaball became the only country to fight a bunch of animals and lose.

Australiaball and the Eurovision Song Contest
Australiaball's interest in the Eurovision Song Contest began in 1983 (the year Germanyball hosted) when it was broadcast on TV in his country for the first time. Since then, his interest grew and grew (along with its fan following) and in 2014 Denmarkball invited him to be part of the 59th contest in Copenhagen as an interval act.

In 2015, to celebrate the 60th contest hosted by Austriaball in Vienna, he was invited to participate as a contestant where he ended up in 5th place in the final. Thanks to much positive feedback from fans and the media, Swedenball decided to invite him back to compete in the 2016 contest in Stockholm, but having to go through the semifinals. Australiaball got 2nd place.
