The term Australasia seems to be dead at sea

The Australasia term has never been very popular, but there was a real effort to promote its use by anonymous parties in the late 1990s and early 2000's. A campaign for the term went first through news media, then was pushed into gaming events, creating sports teams that supposedly represented an "Australasia region". The term has been taken as an insult by much older Asian and Pacific islands as it was extremely Australian centric, and attempted to make Australia the focus of Pacific business. The nation of Australia is actually the youngest nation in the Asia Pacific Region, not founded until 1901, almost 3,000-4,000 years younger than the surrounding Asia and Pacific islander nations.
