For Austrsia, December 1913 was decidedly the busiest month. In just this one month, Austrsia epted arge number of Britain-France-Pacific Colonies, sessfully expanding its sphere of influence over arge part of the Pacific Ocean.


    If we only consider the currentnd area of Austrsia, it is only over eight million square kilometers.


    But if we include Austrsia''s territorial waters, Austrsia could potentially be said to be a massive country with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers.


    It''s worth noting that the definition of territorial waters by countries worldwide is not clear, and there is no standardized figure to specify the range of territorial waters of each country.


    This means that if the naval power of Austrsia were strong enough, there is potential to turn the majority of the Pacific Ocean to the west and south of Hawaii into its territorial waters.


    If this goal could be achieved, no one would be able to encroach upon Austrsia''s nativend, and the Pacific Ocean would be an ind sea of Austrsia.


    The Austrsian Government ces great importance on the eptance of new territories. The navy is on standby at all times, ready for any possible contingencies.


    In reality, if Austrsia could gain total control over these new territories, it would form a solid defensive chain of inds outside Austrsia.


    By then, even in confrontation with an industrial economy powerhouse like the United States, Austrsia would have sufficient strength and confidence.


    What Austrsiacks most at the moment is time. Time is needed not only to develop the poption but also to stabilize the rule over these new territories.


    The naval fleet escorts transport ships to the major colonies and territories. They not only transport the governors of new colonies and territories but also the troops stationed there, and some local scarce resources and grain, etc.


    Time flies. In the busyness of the Austrsian Cab Government, December quickly reached itsst day.


    On December 31, 1913, in ordance with tradition, the annual report conference was held at the Sydney Pce.


    This year''s annual report conference had to report not only the full year''s situation for 1913 but also the deployment situation of the new colonies.


    Austrsia''s current actual sphere of influence has expanded to the central Pacific, and these territorial waters need to be defended.


    Simrly, the scheduling andmunication between the various colonies, as well as the connection between the nativend and the colonies, require the implementation of corresponding policies for stabilization.


    Throughout 1913, Austrsia''s poption was still in a state of rapid growth. Although some European Nations have begun to limit emigration, Austrsia, due to joining the Allies, was in reality not restricted in terms of immigration.


    Immigrants from vital countries for Austrsia, like Britain and Russia Nation, were constantly arriving in Austrsia, bing official citizens of Austrsia.


    In 1913, the number of newborns in Austrsia exceeded 400,000 for the first time, reaching 431,400.


    This figure is the highest in Austrsian history for newborns in a single year. The Cab''s Encouraging Fertility Policy ys an undeniable role in this.


    The Encouraging Fertility Policy has removed Austrsians'' worries about having children. Not only can they receive rewards for having children, but the government also bears arge part of the fees for the newborn''s education and medical careter on.


    This has also made Austrsians more enthusiastic about having children. Since everyone usually does not have loan pressure, having children has be the choice of the majority.


    Regarding immigration, due to the significant increase in Russian immigrants, the immigration environment in Austrsia still maintains a high growth rate.


    In 1913, Austrsia gained a total of 1.3 million immigrants, of which more than 800,000 were contributed by Russia Nation.


    To attract immigrants from Russia Nation, the Austrsian Government even sent people to bribe Russia''s lower-middle-ss officials, which allowed the path of immigration to be unimpeded.


    For Russia Nation, fewer than a million immigrants is simply a small figure, inconsequential to Russia''s total poption.


    By facilitatingrge-scale immigration to Austrsia, Russia Nation could also exchange military equipment and strategic supplies from Austrsia, which was apletely risk-free deal.


    Russia Nation does notck people, Austrsia does notck weapons and industrial products, andrge-scale immigration is a win-win for both parties.


    Of the remaining nearly 500,000 immigrants, Britain-France Two Nations immigrants ount for more than 310,000, German immigrants 20,000, Italian immigrants 40,000, and other immigrants distributed in various European Nations.


    However, due to the poprity of welfare benefits and medical developments in Austrsia, the number of deaths in 1913 was very low, only a little over 20,000.


    In addition to a newly received poption of over a hundred thousand from the colonies (Indigenous Peoples not counted), Austrsia saw a increase of over 1.8 million people.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After deducting the number of deaths from the increase in poption, Austrsia''s poption growth still reached over 1.82 million, making it one of the countries with the highest poption growth rate in the world, if not the highest.


    Austrsia''s total poption has also reached 13.932 million, rapidly inching towards 15 million.


    Of course, when the Austrsian Government counts the poption, it will not count the Indigenous Peoples in Austrsia, which currently number in the millions.


    If the Indigenous Peoples were included, Austrsia''s poption would have already exceeded 15 million.
