Liquid Gold

Australia is in crisis; water has vanished everywhere except the eastern states with the advent of global warming. The population from Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory have migrated east with millions of Aussies on the move. The political climate changes to a dictatorship as it comes to grips with the overpopulation of the East Coast.

Across the Tasman, Australia looks with envy at New Zealand's abundance of water. A plan is devised to use the might of the Australian forces to take the water.
To invade, would New Zealand capitulate or fight? It has been 250 years since an invasion of NZ.
The outcome will be uncertain, but the winner will have the biggest prize, Liquid Gold.
