So, specifically, in Australia, the Governor General has no exclusive power to reject legislation or dissolve Government any more?

Bloody hell. We're free!

Everyone knows Australians are not really humans. No human could survive out there. I was thinking about aliens (since that is where Occam's Razor always goes first), but then I heard about the drop bears. You see, the drop bear population is suffering from a chlamydia epidemic. Where did they get it originally? Obviously from fucking Aussies. This leads to the logical conclusion that all Aussies are drop bear hybrids masquerading as humans.

Aren't Aussies just sentient, cannibalistic, shapeshifting Vegemites?

... no, the Governor-Generals have no power. Officially, they can reject legislation made by the local government (except in Australia, that power was revoked) but doing so would kick up a shitstorm (see Australia).
As a result, the Queen of England and the British parliament have no direct influence over their former colonies. Any ties to England are basically just ceremonial (barring various treaties, but that's not the same thing as an empire).

Also in practice in Canada the GG has been ceremonial only ever since the 1920's King-Byng affair. (also known as the King-Byng Wing Ding) That crisis pretty much led to the removal of direct British influence on the politics of the dominions.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Hah yeah, it's a weird looking one, probably because it has both feminine & masculine facial features.  ???

Nothing for PLANT? It's gotta be interesting if it's in all caps. But yeah, like greatorder said, it's cool how many species there are, I'm actually surprised at the amount tbh. We'll see how that translates in game though.

Drop bears are always a valid concern.

Regarding the portraits, I think PLANT is just a placeholder and they haven't finished them. Yick, I really want to genocide all the furries, but the insects and the tentacular dudes look awesome.

As soon as an alien species has fuzz, it's suddenly "furry" this and "genocide" that.

Fucking self-hating mammaloids.
