Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

The statesian president gets no special title. They are refered to as Mister, Mrs. (don't get me started on the lack of a commonly accepted long form) or Miss when not referred to as President. In statesia we theoretically have no lords, no ladies, no kings or queens, no landed gentry. Anyone in statesia giving themselves a title^1^ can expect their title to be affixed to them via high velocity lead per Federalist 29.

^1^ As always, Joshua Abraham Norton, Emperor of These States United is excepted.
