* UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} itself is generally quite period- and location-specific, with gangs generally forming among whoever makes up the most recent immigrant community. The classic Italian Mafia and IrishMob are prominent, but also expect a heavy sprinkle of Russians, Maltese, Chinese, Vietnamese, [[UsefulNotes/{{Lebanon}} Lebanese]], and [[UsefulNotes/{{Sudan}} Suda]][[UsefulNotes/SouthSudan nese]]. On both sides of the Tasman Sea, Polynesian ethnicities, especially Māori, are also commonly found, particularly within outlaw motorcycle clubs.

* If the city has a [[FriendlyLocalChinatown Chinatown]], expect the [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Triads and the Tongs]] to show up at your door.

* If the city has a [[FriendlyLocalChinatown Chinatown]], expect the [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Triads and the Tongs]] to show up at your door. Most mobsters will be more than fluent in Mandarin Chinese, though make sure that you know another dialect (learning Cantonese or Hakka helps) if you really want to get on their good side.



* Obviously enough, Chinese gangs like TheTriadsAndTheTongs operate mostly in UsefulNotes/HongKong, UsefulNotes/{{Macau}}, UsefulNotes/{{Taiwan}}, and several other countries (mostly in Southeast Asia) which have a large enough Chinese diaspora. Criminal gangs do exist in Mainland UsefulNotes/{{China}}. However, as the Communist government has cracked down on Triad-style secret societies ever since they took power in 1949, they're nowhere near as powerful as their diasporic counterparts. Small-time petty criminals and Chinese-flavoured GangBangers will sometimes be found in coastal cities, particularly among internal migrants from UsefulNotes/{{Manchuria}}.
