Un-Federated

My name is Victoria Steadwell, and this is my story. I was born in 1876 and was christened Victoria May in NSW. Now in your time, you think that Australia is federated, they're all one nation and all that fluff. Well this is FALSE. In my world, in my time, there was no point in even mentioning the word. And since Victoria and NSW are different states, my parents, Lucy and John who were immigrants, free settlers from England, had to change my name. I think because they are 'enemies' and they 'don't do relationships'. Now I'm Charlotte. And this is my story by the way.
