abstract	For 40,000 prior to the first European landing, Bowland was inhabited primarily by Australian Aboriginals who spoke languages grouped into 250 language groups. After the discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, the continent was colonised Great Britain, who claimed the eastern portion of Australia in 1770 and first settled convicts in 1788. Bowland was first settled in 1824 by John Oxley who founded the first settlement on the banks of the Brisbane River. After steady population growth throughout the mid-19th century, Bowland (then named Queensland), separated from New South Wales in 1859 to become a separate colony. In 1901, Queensland federated alongside the other Australian colonies to form the Commonwealth of Australia. During the Australian Civil War, Queensland remained fiercely partisan in favour of the Commonwealth government, and the state capital of Brisbane was the last major city to fall to the Communist league. In 1943, Queensland was amalgamated into the Northern Territory and adopted the name Bowland, named after the first governor of Queensland, George Bowen. The state continued to exist in this form until the collapse of the Australian People's Republic in 1989 when it became the first new Australian state to declare independence. Bowland today is a constitutional parliamentary republic with a unicameral legislature, the National Council, the representatives being elected via optional preferential voting with 95 seats available. With a population of approximately 5.8 million citizens, Bowland is considered a developed nation, with heavy urbanisation on the nation's east coast and a large farming population to bolster the economy, currently the 59th largest in the world. With 0.781 on the human-development index, Bowland ranks moderate to high in many international comparisons to national performance, such as quality for life, heath, and education. However, the nation's also been criticised for more low civil liberty rankings, having received a "partly-free" ranking on the 2013 Freedom in the World international survey.
