These natives spoke more than 250 different languages, and were one of the oldest human ethnic groups in the world at the time.

abstract
  • The Dirigist Bloc was originally home to a native population of aborigines who colonized the continent more than 50,000 years ago. These natives spoke more than 250 different languages, and were one of the oldest human ethnic groups in the world at the time. The neighboring islands of Polynesia and Aotearoa were settled by the Polynesians, with the latter colonized around 1400 AD by the Māori, one of the Polynesian peoples of the region. Contact with the indigenous Australians and Māori, as well as the other islander populations were established in by the late-18th century, when the British Empire claimed the continent for themselves through one of its most famous explorers, James Cook. The island of New Guinea was colonized by the Melanesians 40,000 years ago, and the first signs of irrigation evidenced to have begun around 10,000 years ago. The continent of Australia was designated a colony for freed African slaves who were intended to serve as cheap labor on the hostile and largely inhospitable mainland, and weather the native peoples' attacks on behalf of the British government and military. Dissatisfaction with the British authorities by the early-19th century led to the formation of an independence movement within the population of black Africans, and the Coup of 1827, followed by a declaration of independence during the Oceanic Proclamation. The colonists secured their independence following the three year-long Oceanian Revolution, in which their sovereignty was recognized by Great Britain in 1830. The rise of dirigism in the 1850s would lead to the Oceanian Civil War by 1860, and the establishment of first ever dirigist state in the world following the adoption of its constitution in 1865. The Dirigist Bloc grew quickly as regional power, invading and annexing the islands of Fiji, Kanaky (New Caledonia), New Guinea, and Vanuatu, and establishing a sphere of influence throughout the rest of the South Pacific Ocean. The nation often served as a major power broker between the European empires and the local East Asian states seeking to negotiate on an equal footing with the West. The Dirigist Bloc's role during the Opium Wars and the Dutch colonization of Indonesia. The country developed one of the most advanced economies in the world during the 19th and 20th centuries, and by the dawn of the turn of the century, was widely regarded as entirely self-sufficient agriculturally and industrially. The standard of living in the Dirigist Bloc often exceeded that in other nations in the world, surpassing even the United States and Argentina as the world's most economically prosperous nations per capita. Remaining neutral during the First World War, the Dirigist Bloc was spared the devastating effects of the later Great Depression, and remained economically stable throughout the period. The nation did join the Allies during the Second World War, after fears of a Japanese invasion drove the government to support the Allies. The Dirigist Bloc gained international notoriety for its role during the war, and leveraged its position to promote dirigism throughout the world, leading to the creation of the Fourth World under Dirigist control. The Dirigist Bloc eventually ended its attempts at foreign political expansion, and took a neutral stance throughout the rest of the Cold War, seeking to maintain its relatively peace and prosperity in the region. Since then, the country has grown into an economic and political juggernaut, as well as a highly-developed country wielding the world's third-largest and most advanced economy. Also wielding what some consider to be disproportionate power and influence for its size and location, the Dirigist Bloc is an active supporter of foreign interventionism, and has sent troops abroad to support or remove regimes according to its independence foreign policies. Because of the Dirigist Bloc's support for authoritarian governments and military adventurism, the country is widely condemned in foreign media and politics, and typically labeled as a rogue state removed from international affairs. The nation is also criticized for having sacrificed many individual rights and freedoms for its citizens in pursuit of development and national security and stability.
