Aliens come to your country.
>You're a bunch of cunts in this country. Give us one book to justify your existence?
Which book do you pick to represent your country in this scenario? Or, if you're Australian, where do you hide when you realize you've produced no good literature or art in general in your entire history as a nation?
Henry Lawson is pretty gud
Impression i get as a foreigner whose never been to Australia is that your culture is dominated by your tiny urban elite, and the vast expanse where interesting stuff is happening thus never proliferates amongst the population.

As an Englishman I'd pick,
Humpty Dumpty and Other Nursery Rhymes Board book by Lucy Cousins

Pretty much sums up the state of UK politics.

How does the UK sincerely expect to survive as a single nation economy in 20XX I have no idea. No valuable exports, and most of your food has to be imported. My guess is they want to turn you into a Singapore styled tax haven, just like Trump is trying to turn USA into a Saud/Russia styled fossil fuel economy.
