  1. country baby with 6 states


  2. Australia is unique in that it is a country (has a nationality), is a continent (a plate of its own), and the inhabitants have divided it into states (as mentioned in several answers already) for easy geographical reference.  What does the different terminology have to do with its beauty, history, and impact on the world?  Australia is Australia.  There's only one like it. Said and done.

  3. The terms state and country are synonymous. The Queen of England is the head of state. The chief diplomat in the U.S. is the secretary of state.

    The use of the term state as a subdivision of a country is not the original meaning.

    So, Australia is both a country and a state.

  4. Australia is a continent not a state.

  5. Australia is a country, not a state.

    Also, to Crstyalby, you said there were 7 states, yet you only managed to list 6 states. Get your facts straight, there is only 6 states in Australia, Qld./NSW/Tas/Vic/WA/SA!

  6. I'm from Melbourne City, Victoria, Australia.

    It's beautiful here

    It's a country and continent.

  7. "state and a country are the same thing. Your question makes no sense."

    Australia is the biggest island in the world.

  9. Australia is a country and a continent but it is not an island.  Apparently, it has been decided Australia can either be an island or a continent, but not both.

  10. Australia is imaginary.

  11. Australia is a country and is a constitutional monarchy - meaning the Queen has absolute power (but is a figure head)
