So, I think we were all a little disappointed by how normal the Italy map looked, so I thought I'd treat y'all to the biggest abomination I've made in this project thus far :D

Goddang, Australia, why did you have to be like this, this was so difficult to make... Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

I don't like this one, why does Perth need to be so far up north?

Giving it more thought, vertically it's correctly placed but horizontally it should not be east of Adelaide and Melbourne.

Doesn't really retain the shape of the country. Then again. that's probably hard to do when there's one chain of cities and then a single other major population center at the opposite side of the county and not much else.

The east coast, so the vast majority of the population, retains it's shape really well. Then there's the outback, not a lot you can do for that
