The Rise of Australasia

Of course, neither Arthur nor the government had intended to instantly turn all these colonies into Native Land.

After all, nativization isn’t just a title, it means building up various aspects of a colony to resemble Native Land.

That requires a population to match, a considerable level of Industry and Agriculture, a large amount of supplies and effort, and so on.

Over the past four years, what the government most valued and vigorously pursued in terms of nativization was naturally the New Guinea Colony.

By land scale, the territory of the New Guinea Colony does not fall short compared to any state, even considering it as a state might seem extravagant.

But currently, with New Guinea’s population just breaking eight hundred thousand, it cannot support too many administrative divisions.

Currently, the New Guinea Colony has Three Major Cities, which are actually the former capitals during the tripartite rule.

As the first region controlled by Australasia, Moritzby Port, the former capital of the Australian New Guinea Colony, is now the largest city in the New Guinea Colony and the only city with a population exceeding 250,000.

Apart from that, there are HerbertsHera and Modovi, two cities with populations that have broken the hundred thousand mark.

Then there are many coastal Small Towns with populations ranging from a few thousand to several tens of thousands, such as Baimuru, Kerema, Arawa, Wan, Chayapura, Lae, and others.

The so-called nativization of a Colony, in fact, is about building these colonial cities into Native Land Urban cities, and then extending that influence to smaller villages and towns.

Arthur took the nativization policy of New Guinea very seriously and decided to personally visit New Guinea to inspect the nativization progress of the various cities.

The first stop was definitely Moritzby Port, the capital of New Guinea.

On August 11th, 1925, Arthur arrived in Moritzby Port with the protection of the fleet and a cluster of Royal guards, accompanied by some government officials, and received a warm welcome from the New Guinea Governor, local officers, and a large number of immigrants.

Arthur was not new to Moritzby Port, but compared to his last visit, Moritzby Port now seemed much larger and more advanced to him.

This was actually normal because the population of Moritzby Port had multiplied, and it was impossible not to expand the Harbor.

Currently, New Guinea Island has achieved practically zero Indigenous Peoples, and if one does not regard it as a colonial city, Moritzby Port now has little difference from a Native Land Harbor in Australasia.

All residents of this Harbor city are Australasians, and everything, including architectural styles and various systems, is all Australasian.

Accompanied by Colonial Governor John Price, Arthur inspected the Hospital, School, Street, and infrastructure in Moritzby Port, and he was quite satisfied with the nativization progress of the port city.

In the following days, Arthur successively visited Kerema, Baimuru, Lae, Arawa, Wan, and other regions; he even went to HerbertsHera on New Britain and Kavieng on New Ireland Island. The inspection results were not much different from Moritzby Port; the nativization construction of these cities was fairly successful.

This also represented a fact, after the recent transformation of Dili into a direct-controlled state, the time for the New Guinea Colony to become the New Guinea directly controlled state was not far off.

Compared to the Colony’s immigrants, these permanent residents of New Guinea certainly preferred to become part of a Native Land city, that is, the population of a direct-controlled state.

Because the Welfare Policy of a Native Land city is definitely better than that of a colony, with access to basic infrastructure and various transportation conveniences that colonial cities cannot experience.

After affirming the deeds of Governor John in New Guinea, Arthur embarked on the journey back to Sydney.

Since the nativization work of New Guinea was going well, the process of renaming New Guinea Colony to the New Guinea directly controlled state could be accelerated.

After all, if war broke out, there certainly would not be much time left to continue the nativization work of the colonies.

This also meant that if the nativization of the colonies could not be completed before the onset of the war, it would definitely face obstacles from other nations, including the United States, if one attempts to continue post-war.

Moreover, after the nativization of the colonies, the economic development of these cities would also accelerate. If The Great Depression still erupted, this would benefit Australasia to better withstand the economic crisis and reduce the damage the crisis brought to the country.
