Australia: Plus and Minus

+ Easy to acquire guns.

Australia actually has a ton of guns, mainly for use in rural areas to kill foxes and other pests. I live in the South of Sydney and am about 1-and-a-half hours drive from my cousin's dad's farm. They have at least 7 (scoped) Remington Model 700s for some reason, as well as plentiful ammo.

+ Island nation.

If it's some other nation going under, we'd have time to prepare as the zombies would have to come to us. Also, Australia's population is low for such a large land mass, which raises the survival chance higher.

+ Food supply.

Australia is very self sufficient in food production (we export like 700 Megatons of beef a year, not to mention a crap ton of mutton and other meats) and if the apocalypse were to rise, food isn't too big of an issue until Australia really collapses.

- Military forces.

We aren't China, so our Armed Forces aren't exactly numerous. Also, despite being one of the biggest contributers to armed conflicts, in, say, the Middle East, our military is kinda outdated.

Our Army might use pretty up to date equipment like AUGs from Austria, but we still depend on UH-1 Hueys for transport. Our Navy still uses outdated targeting systems, and our Air Force suffers the worst out of all three forces.

We even still use Mirage Jets, which were phased out by Israel at least 2 decades ago.

In short, we can't really rely much on the military.
