ASB troll swaps Poland and Australia for places.

[Batrix2070]

A certain ASB, with a strongly trollish sense of humor, for a joke swaps Poland and Australia in places, August 18, 1939 . At the same time, in order not to be normal, he expands Poland to the size of Australia, preserving the logic of the building of the Polish state so that the distances between localities are appropriately scaled to the new and larger territory, increases natural resources and fills the expanded territory with pristine emptiness, matching the Polish natural environment. If necessary, it relocates parts of Poland's neighbors as part of the preservation of geographical logic. For example, the German Upper Silesia, so that there is no cutting into the sea between mining and industrial cities.

In turn, he does the same with Australia, but reduces it to the size of Poland so that it fits into the ex-Polish territory.

What kind of madness is going on?

England demand that we become their vassals.USA and Japan demand the same.
Since we were Japan allies,we probably support them.

Germany do not invade Australia,becouse Hitler liked England.

But,more important - what about flora and fauna? yoou just killed most in Australia during first polish winter,and many species in new Poland would die,too.

I wonder how? They didn't do it when we were in Europe, they won't do it even more so when we are so far away from them.

He will do it anyway, Australia now lies on the road to German Lebensraum in Russia. It's whether England likes them or not. It doesn't matter. Especially since the Australian Army compared to the Polish Army at the time is simply a joke. This is a situation where you can easily and quickly bring the Australians to their knees in less than a week.

They will simply be nicer to them than to us, because Australians are Germanic like the British or Germans. Another matter concerns the Aborigines, these rather have an even worse fate.

In the first year, the ASB gave an adjustment period to the natural environments of both countries. Yes, because it can.

I suggest swapping the 2nd Republic for Victoria and the SE of NSW. Such a c. 390km2 exchange fits Poland "down under" and guts Australia by taking away 3/4ths (more?) of its population.

Well, Britain come and make gulag, using emus and drop bears to guard perimiter.

Hitler liked Britain but ... seeing all that EMPTY lebensraum, will he resist seemingly free mud?
IMO Stalin will not move in - no gambler he. He did gamble to an extent with the Hitler-Stalin Treaty, assuming that the Entente will twiddle its thumbs. But there is a difference between Poland and a transplanted piece of British real estate.

I was thinking of something like this, just to exchange km for km, in a good place. But the idea of Poland but as an island-continent appealed to me more. (Especially that instead of cutting into Australia, you could swap Poland with New Zealand because the latter is smaller than Poland) Because, you know, finally Poland has peace from its neighbors, because the only neighbor is water itself.

But in general, any visions of how history would turn out in such a situation? Yes, just for fun, in the style of historical games.

For example, I see our dear leadership seeing that there are actually no more threats to us. They are playing such a naval Switzerland.

Well, Britain come and make gulag, using emus and drop bears to guard perimiter.

Can it be clearer?

No, especially since he may take up the offer to help resettle Australians in GB in exchange for all of Australia in Europe.

IMO I think the British might agree to that. They get rid of a troublesome undefendable area for the Empire and at the same time Hitler stands directly with Stalin which will sooner or later provoke a war between them. All you have to do then is pull out the popcorn and enjoy the spectacle.

Gulag with emu and drop bear guards was a joke.

Yes, a NZ for Poland swap better. Or Labrador.

I agree that Piłsudski's morons would be devasted with the army being safely cut down to 10%. And that they'd start building a navy. The planned (most expensive in the world) destroyers would be built, with more to come.
Although finances would be "interesting" ... I'd expect French military loands being cancelled. Much smaller British might remain.
BTW - the only sensible ships would be the training vessel ORP Gryf, due to its large range (diesels) and the subs. The destroyers would have to be augmented - and then replaced - with Pacific range craft.

Piłsudzki morons still ruled,so they probably would keep army big just becouse.
Navy - we started to build next 2 destroyers,but that was all.Rest/more subs and torpedo boats/ would be buyed,dunno where.

Another joke:Germany annexed Australia in 1938 instead of Austria. The British Empire was very surprised that their dominion finally separated and for some reason wanted to join the Third Reich. Attempts by George VI and Neville Chamberlain to convince them not to do this were unsuccessful, as for some reason all white residents of the Australian Union began to speak only German and consider themselves Germans.
Voices began to be heard in Britain that it was necessary to declare war on the Reich and rein in the arrogant colonists, but in the end everything was put on the brakes. Hitler was also not particularly happy with such a gift (he opposed Germany's acquisition of overseas possessions), but was forced to accept and begin to establish communications between the two parts of the Reich (also because of this, he had to invest more resources in the navy and deploy part of the already small Wehrmacht forces in Australia) and integrate new territories.
Later it turned out that Austria would not be able to be peacefully annexed, since for some reason the locals began to speak mostly English, restored the monarchy, crowned George VI and joined the British Commonwealth of Nations).
