Then they'll get 2 additional armies every single turn! And a territory card!

What is the reference here ? Is it the same reference as neighbour comment about Tasmania and daemon armies ?

My tasmania comment is about what the US-AU army wargames used to use as the hypothetical invader. they were briefly stupid and used a map of indonesia because of jokes about west irianjaya and 'south iriyan' -and then changed to use the map of tasmania (which btw, is a euphemism for female pubic hair) upside down as the notional invader.

the other reference is to turn-by-turn games of war on maps (I think)

The cards reference is to the game of RISK. Owning every territory in the “Australian Content” gets the player a small bonus.
