The UN can't recognise a state though, other states do.

New countries can surely be created but they count nothing internationally if they're not recognized by some other state.

Also I repeat my unanswered question, does the Australian constitution expects something like this?

Never said the UN recognises other states, and we're not seeking recognition, we are seeking autonomous independence.

Australia's constitution is irrelevant, we are not part of Australia.

The backup plan for Promatia - the statehood option - is legal under Australian law, as long as Parliament consents. If there is a large enough economy in the region when we petition this to them, they will agree. However, we can also create alternative government systems or even become de facto independent - i.e. Taiwan.
