Here's a semi-relevant piece from The Other Wiki:
- It was said in Tina Brown's 2007 biography of Diana, Princess of Wales, that Prince William had, like his father [Prince Charles], expressed a desire to become Governor-General of Australia, though fulfilment of the idea was considered doubtful by then-Prime Minister of Australia John Howard...

Fixed two entried under Real Life: the Burr account was simply wrong, and the World War I example had the Lusitania sinking years after it really occurred.

Re: Shiny New Australia and RISK. When I was a child, my dad and older brother would handicap themselves against us younger two kids. My little sister and I were allowed to connect Australia and South America, but the older two (dad and brother) could not.

The examples here need a working-over... A lot of the ones in the australia specifically section aren't actually for this trope— they're Throw-Away Country, But For Australia.
