When it comes to agriculture in Australasia, the development is actually okay. As a country with a population of just over 20 million, Australasia produces enough food for domestic consumption, and even doubling the population is not a problem.

Because of Arthur's emphasis on agriculture, in 1920, Australasia's arable land had reached 39.5 million acres, and the total grain production was as high as 18.5 million tons, setting a new record.

Of course, this has also led to the annual increase in Australasia's grain exports, which have been exported to Asia and Europe, becoming one of the famous grain exporters.

This is also the advantage of a relatively small population, less resource consumption, and more materials can be exported in exchange for a large amount of foreign exchange earnings.

As the first step in the localization of the Australasian colony, Timor's grain production has also exceeded 80,000 tons, and the total arable land area has exceeded 172,000 acres, nearly 700 square kilometers of land.

During this period of vigorous development, the total population of Timor has also exceeded 140,000, barely reaching the scale of 145,300, which is a lot of population growth compared to the previous year.

It is expected that within two years, Timor-Leste will have a population of about 180,000, a total arable land area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, and a grain output of 120,000 tons.

At that time, Timor was naturally incorporated into Australasia proper, and with the reform of Australasian administrative divisions, it became a new state of Australasia.

Speaking of the reform of administrative divisions, it has been put on Arthur's list of actions, and he can start to do so just after the construction of the new capital is completed.

At present, the administrative division of the whole Australasia is not very reasonable, and there are only seven administrative divisions in Australia of more than 7 million square kilometers.

In particular, Western Australia and South Australia in the west generally cover an area of more than 2 million square kilometers, which is larger than the combined area of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, but it is only one state of Australia, and the burden of management can be imagined.

In particular, after the construction of Australia's western industrial base, the management costs of Western Australia and South Australia have skyrocketed.

Because the territory is too large, it is easy to breed crime, after all, it is difficult for the number of police in these two states to cover the entire state, and there will always be some places that cannot be reached by the security department, which is a hidden danger to the security of the country.

The division of such a huge administrative division will help governments at all levels to better manage their own land, and can also effectively promote economic development and exchanges between regions.

The same is true for the eastern part of Australia, which is currently only divided into Queensland, the Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, which is too large and the most elite part of Australasia, bringing together more than half of the population of Australasia, which is very difficult to manage.

The administrative divisions of Australia in later generations also did not have much reference value, after all, the total population of Australia in later generations was only more than 20 million, and Australasia was able to catch up in a few years.

This also means that the administrative divisions of Australasia, especially the administrative divisions of the Australian region, need to be modified according to the specific facts, and there is nothing to refer to.

But this is also good news, to put it bluntly, the current administrative division is the former colony, because now Australasian people do not have much difference in life, and there is no problem of wrong administrative division.

In addition to focusing on agriculture, the four-year development plan also has great requirements for the development of industry.

In 1919 the government had achieved good results, and Australasia's industry as a whole was still in a state of rapid growth and was not affected in the slightest.

It is worth mentioning that before the war, Australasia's industrial output accounted for only 3.7% of the world's total, while the world's top eight were the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, Austria-Hungary, Australasia, and Italy.

After this war, the throne of the world's top eight has changed greatly. The United States is still the world's largest and accounts for 35.1% of the world's industrial output.

The UK overtook Germany to become the second place, and the proportion also increased to 16.2%.

The third is Germany, which accounts for 12.4% of the world's industrial output.

Australasia has made significant progress, with industrial output rising from 3.7 per cent to 7.8 per cent.

France is not far behind, with a share of 7.5 per cent of world industrial output, albeit suffering significant losses.

The sixth is Italy, which accounts for 5% of the world's industrial output.

The seventh is Austria-Hungary, with 2.7% of the world's industrial output.

The eighth is the island country, with 1.9% of the world's industrial output.

These eight countries account for 88.6 per cent of the world's total industrial output, which also shows how huge the gap between the great powers and ordinary countries is.

The current industrial rankings show just how damaging the First World War was to European countries.

Although it seems that the proportion of some countries is increasing, this is because the industrial output of the world as a whole is decreasing.

The Russians fell from the original fourth industrial power to the bottom of the list, and the civil war has caused the collapse of Russian industry and agriculture to the extreme.

Had it not been for Soviet Russia's restrictions on the population it controlled, I am afraid that a large number of Russians would have fled long ago.

But even so, millions of people emigrate from Russia every year, and the number of people who secretly flee is even more numerous, at least hundreds of thousands.

Australasia's industry is undoubtedly the most advanced of all countries.

Before the war, Australasia's industry was only the seventh largest in the world, and there was a considerable gap between it and the countries before it.

But now Australasia's industry is the fourth in the world, and although the gap with France is not huge, the progress is obvious.

It is not surprising that the defeated Germany still maintained the world's third largest industrial output, after all, Germany's industry was so large that it was impossible to completely stop production.

What's more, many European countries are also very obsessed with cheap industrial products in Germany, which undoubtedly stimulates the growth of German industry, although it is only some light industry, but the foundation of industry is still there.

The same was true of Austria-Hungary, which, as a great power country, had a decent industrial scale.

Although Hungary became independent, Hungary was a grain-producing region, not an industrial-grade region.

Czechoslovakia, which became famous in later generations and had a considerable industrial scale, was actually the northern region of Bohemia and Hungary in the present-day Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Coupled with the developed industry in Austria, this is the reason why the current Austro-Hungarian Empire is still able to rank on the list of industrial output.

Of course, compared to its own brothers, the situation of Austria-Hungary was not very good.

After Hungary became independent, Bohemia did not want to be independent, but it was ruthlessly suppressed by Austria-Hungary.

It is worth mentioning that the current Austro-Hungarian Empire has actually been renamed, to be precise, the Austrian Empire, in which Hungary has become the Republic of Hungary.

Relatively speaking, the only countries that are doing well at the moment are the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Australasia.

For other countries, the industrial growth and economic development of these countries are relatively good, which also leads to the fact that in terms of international status, no other country can suppress any of these countries.

Needless to say, the Russian civil war does not have much to say, and Italy does not have much say in Europe, let alone the entire world.

In addition, the only countries that are not defeated but also great powers are island countries. But after the islanders became a joke at the naval conference, no major powers paid attention to them again.

Even the US-Japan alliance has a slight crack, and if it weren't for the fact that the Americans have made too much infamy in the international community, I'm afraid the Americans don't want this ally.

The relatively good economies of the four countries have also created a situation in which house prices have risen.

Yes, house prices are rising steadily in several countries, including Australasia.

This is unavoidable, because the economy is volatile, and it is naturally impossible for housing prices to remain at the same level.

Of course, this increase in housing prices is a premeditated action, mainly aimed at the United States, and other countries are affected.

The real estate economy that is making a big splash in the United States will also spread to Europe and Australia, and it is normal for it to have an impact on Europe and Australasia.

However, compared with the United States, which has a very serious impact, the rise in housing prices in Australasia is controllable, and the increase is not too large.

Who made Australasia's greatest capital Arthur himself? As long as there is no capitalist participation, stable housing can be guaranteed.

As long as you have a stable housing supply, it will not cause panic about the housing crisis to the people, otherwise you will not rush the house, and it will not have too drastic impact on housing prices.

During this period, the proportion of house price growth in Australasia has been maintained within 5%, which is far less exaggerated than the increase in house prices in Europe and the United States.

According to the latest news, housing prices in New York have risen to about $500, which is more than $130 compared to a few months ago, which is not a small income.

After all, the currencies of various countries have not depreciated too much, and the famous era of devaluation has not yet arrived.

Now the money is still very valuable, 130 US dollars, which is equivalent to the income of Americans for most of the year, such a price increase is still very exaggerated.

However, the rise in housing prices has also allowed governments to see dividends, and at the same time capitalists have seen dividends.

Many capitalists made tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 dollars during this period of housing price rise, directly doubling their net worth.
