The nations that have united to form Promatia are laid out in this document.

promatia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...

The decision to unify was a collection of individuals who had concluded that pooling together assets (and manpower) from multiple projects would benefit everyone involved.

Promatia has no intention to take land from the Australian government by force, but by normal acquisition through occupation (popular request). Promatia plans to build in the territory, settle the claim, create infrastructure, then connect to the surrounding area (figuratively and literally). We are using land that is not being used by, nor plans to be used in the near future.

The Australian government is not going to come remove people for building a new city on the continent. If all else fails, Promatia can become an incorporated autonomous state of Australia. Sovereignty is just plan A.

How would all this work? Does the Australian constitution expects something like this?

UN provides rights to people to have self-determination and therefore autonomous representation.

New countries will and have been created, and will continue to

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.
