Northern Territory

Northern Territory was a former subdivision of New Shetland that comprised the northern half of the country until 1971, when it was split into Uplands and North. It wasn't part of the federal system of states and was under direct administration of the federal government.

It was a sparsely inhabited, poor and uncultivated region renown for its wildlife and infamous for its high unemployancy and societal problems. This was improved when the job market expanded and school attendance rose in the 1980s.
