The biggest news in the United States over the next stretch of time would probably be where yet another new country had been established.

Of course, with the population already exceeding thirty-six million, Australasia's need for people was no longer quite so desperate.

The result was that the immigration authorities became much stricter in their screening, while the probationary period immigrants had to endure was extended from three to six months to six months to a year.

This also meant that even immigrants who performed extremely well would have to wait at least half a year before they could obtain Australasian citizenship.

Anyone who failed the immigration screening or probationary period would be forcibly deported and barred from applying for immigration for three years.
