Former Countries in Oceania

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Auckland are the country’s most populous cities. George Orwell’s dystopian book Nineteen Eighty-Four has three imaginary superstates: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Citizens of Oceania only know what their party tells them about the world. Therefore the reader has no idea how the globe came to be divided into these three nations, nor does he know whether they exist in reality or are just part of the party’s narrative to promote social control. In the 20 years between 1945 and 1965, the countries looked to have emerged from nuclear warfare and civil breakdown.

History of Oceania

Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia make up the countries of Oceania, an area of the world. It is estimated that Oceania has an area of 8,525,989 square kilometres with more than 41 million people. Papuan New Guinea, Indonesian New Guinea, Kiribati, Vanuatu and Tuvalu are among the world’s least developed countries in the Oceania region. Pacific island nations with smaller economies include Palau, Fiji, and Tonga.

Oceania has a diverse range of economies, from the highly developed and globally competitive financial markets of Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, French Polynesia, and Hawaii. 

More than 60,000 years ago, people began arriving in Australia, New Guinea, and the huge islands to the east. From the 16th century forward, Europeans began to explore Oceania. The Tanimbar Islands, portions of the Caroline Islands, and West Papua New Guinea were discovered by Portuguese explorers between 1512 and 1526. He travelled to Tahiti and followed the east coast of Australia for the first time on his maiden journey in the 18th century, which led to his arrival in the Hawaiian Islands.

Biggest Cities 

One of Oceania’s biggest cities is Sydney, located in Australia. It stands at 4,884 metres, making it the tallest mountain in Oceania. More than 60,000 years ago, early people began to arrive in Australia, New Guinea, and the huge islands to the east. When Europeans first set foot in Oceania, it was in the 16th century. The Tanimbar Islands, portions of the Caroline Islands, and western Papua New Guinea were all explored by Portuguese explorers between the years 1512 and 1526. He travelled to Tahiti and followed the east coast of Australia for the first time on his maiden journey in the 18th century, which led to his arrival in the Hawaiian Islands. World War II’s Second World War was marked by fierce battles on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, particularly between the United States, the Philippines (a US Commonwealth), and Australia.

Oceania in 1984

At this same time in 1984, for instance (assuming it was 1984), Oceania was engaged in combat with Eurasia and was allied with Eastasia. It was never accepted, either in public or in private statements, that the three powers had ever been categorised according to various lines at any point in time. War is necessary and an indicator of its existence when it comes to a totalitarian state. There is a perpetual conflict between Oceania and one of the other two superstates. The Party must use this tactic to keep the population in perpetual fear and flux. There will be no supply or demand regulation until the Party has made this submission to ensure classism and power in the end. Although we never see the front lines, war looms large in the backdrop of this tale like a furious hippopotamus.

Oceania 1984 Flag

• Mr Orwell had nothing to say about the flags of the superstates that divided his fictional world.
• For Oceania, the colour red represents the dominant ideology, known as English Socialism or Ingsoc in Newspeak. 
• Blue represents the seas that separate the state’s various provinces, comprising the British Isles, the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. 
• White represents the purity of thought (goodthink in Newspeak). 
• The letter V represents the final global conquest of Oceania and Ingsoc. In contrast, the three white stars represent the three-party slogans (War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength).

Conclusion: 

Oceania is the aggregate term given to the many islands strewn over the Pacific. The phrase refers to the whole area bounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean in its broadest definition. This concept does not include Ryukyu, Kuril, Aleutian, and Japan archipelagos. Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines are often omitted from the definition of Oceania because of their historic ties to Asia and the people who live there. Including Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, the total land area of Oceania is roughly 317,700 square miles (excluding Australia but including Papua New Guinea and New Zealand) (822,800 square km).
