From the introduction: Welcome to sunny Australia. No no, not that one. Not the ‘Real’ Australia. This is Memetic Australia, which is approximately 10,000 times more Australian than ‘Real’ Australia. Everything here is utterly and completely Australia. The snakes are snakier, the spiders have more spider, and Fosters is actually beer. The radios play Australian music all day, the cars are all Maloofs, and there are kangaroos everywhere. Every day is ANZAC Day, yes, even if you choose a starting point that is before the war.
