Yeah, that's what Chrome does to transparent images these days. I've been meaning to just switch to white backgrounds for some time, please keep reminding me if I don't from now on.
I’ve almost never drawn an SVG, I just don’t tend to bother filling in the background.Yes, this is the nature of SVG files. What I do is copy and paste them into Paint.Net so the transparency comes back.
In general it's quite fascinating how decentralised Australian elections are - Queensland and Tasmania, in particular, just seem to do their own thing most of the time.Brisbane's shifts compared to the static picture elsewhere look interesting.
Charters Towers was a city for much the same reason, though its location is obviously much less eye-catching.I know the reason (the same as Broken Hill in NSW, re: mining communities), but I love that both of the big eastern states have One Random City out on their western border.
I can believe it. Australia has set quite a few records for size when it comes to subdivisions. At one point it had the largest single-member district or electoral area in the world, the Division of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia; when it was divided in the post-2010 redistribution, it lost the crown to the riding of Nunavut in Canada. If we count multi-member districts, though, Western Australia is still the largest in the world (for the Senate).Charters Towers was a city for much the same reason, though its location is obviously much less eye-catching.
Fun fact: Mount Isa was (supposedly) also the largest city in the world by surface area when it was incorporated, being more than three times as large (43,000 km2 vs 14,000 km2) as former record-holder Kiruna.
Essentially, yes. Strictly speaking Australia doesn't have 'reservations' in the same way that, say, the United States does (or at least Queensland no longer does). Aboriginal Shires are special municipalities where the indigenous population is given ownership of the land and it's held in trust, with the administrators elected by the population there. In other words, it functions just like a municipal government, but the land isn't publicly held; it's held in trust by the council itself, and can't be bought/sold privately. (I spent way...way too much time on QLD politics once upon a time...)Aboriginal Shire is such a great name for what I'm assuming are basically reservations.

He was, of course, of Danish extraction, as I feel is very important to point out.Honestly thought for a moment that you'd accidentally copy-pasted "Johannes Bjelke-Petersen" from one of your Sweden maps and forgotten to change it.
