    Default Nods to me: World without...well, uh, WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA.

    Good news, everybody! The Dacia Sandero...

    Well, no. Its better! Little Miss Bullsh!t, the Alien Emissary is being re-deployed somewhere else. That means no-one to rip chunks out of the planet, no one to throw world leaders out of the UN building via the windows, and no-one to make a mockery of humanity in every possible way, and also in ways which were once impossible. So, welcome now the NEW Alien Emissary and hashtag troll, LITTLE MISS #PASSAWAY!

    One thing leads to another, words are exchanged with the military, demands are made at the top levels of global politics, deals refused, and suddenly the only land mass left on planet Earth is...AUSTRALIA.

    YES! We're now on mostly-waterworld, and even though entire continents suddenly vanished and were replaced by water, there was NO LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE. And we must re-build civilization in the most lethal place known to man. REDBACKS! TAPIANS! WOMBATS! The Great Sandy Desert! And the hellish mouth of Hell itself known as...North Coburg. Humanity must now share the resources of the Australian continent, manage carefully its population, find new models of living, new means of government, and hopefully, a way to colonize the seas(we can't leave the planet; the alien blockade is still in effect...)

    Can we do it?

    Or will we be beaten to death by Big Red roos instead?

    WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA.

    Does this include New Zealand? What about Antarctica?

    The Australian Continent can not accommodate the entire population of the earth.

    You have a land mass of 2.97 million sq miles and a world population of 7.125 billion

    = 2398.98989899 persons per Square Mile

    Manhattan, by comparison, has a population of 26,403 people per square mile

    Either my math is wrong, or maybe you can fit the entire world population on one continent.

    Oh joy, more "LOL isn't it funny how I **** you" situation. Oh so funny. Oh so Rumbles.

    Besides, if world flood, a) Australia one of lower continents, would probably flood first, and b) is mostly desert with few resources, so nice extra **** YOU for scenario.

    So many die. I vote cannibalism for future success of species. Which group of people tastiest, I wonder?

    You could technically fit everyone, the issue becomes feeding everyone and dealing with sanitation. No food is grown in Manhattan or other extremely dense population areas. No water is accumulated or stored there. Everything is provided from other places, through an infrastructure that took decades/centuries to develop.

    This. You end up with the problems the Chinese are facing. They've technically got plenty of room even for their huge population, but attempts to spread people out have resulted in empty, dead artificial cities. People end up crammed like sardines into the areas that actually have resources that can be turned into jobs.

    THis ends badly.

    Really badly.

    Could be worse.

    Could be Farrealmer's situations.

    Like that time you sent the human race (Minus him) To hell.

    Or that time he tookall rumblers (But him)in arena, witohut weapons, against a T Rex.

    The problem, or one of them is that a very large portion of Australia(pretty much every part that isn't the coast) is rather close to inhospitable, well not quite inhospitable, but very unpleasant and can by no means support a large city population, very arid and whatnot.

    I think we have one of the most massive deserts in the world, don't we?

    That said, the coastal regions could not support an influx of refugees this large. Almost immediately 100% of labour, recources and money would need to go into desalination plants to try and save as many lives as possible.

    I think you are mistaking inhospitable (meaning, generally, "unfavorable") for uninhabitable (meaning just what it says on the tin). A large chunk of Australia is, indeed, quite inhospitable, at least for a large population. There is not much water, when there IS water, it arrives in floods, and there is certainly no infrastructure to support city-level population density.
