How is Tijuana, Mexico part of the Southern California megalopolis? That doesn't make much sense and I wouldn't consider San Diego part of the LA/OC megalopolis either, especially since there's a mountain range separating them with not much civilization in between.

Either way, we've got enough people to invade Australia and no Kokoda Trail is going to help them this time! We must get a plan to Gavin Newsom’s desk at once. The Koala mines will be ours!

The only thing that stops San Diego from being connected to LA/OC is the Camp Pendleton Marine base for about 7 miles. Basically you can go from Tijuana all the way up the coast to LA and only have that stretch not populated with civilians.
San Diego and Tijuana used to be one region that was cut in half by the Mexican-American war of 1846.

Australia pre infiltrated California with eucalyptus sleeper groves decades ago ... one tossed ciggie and Cali's toast.
I guess the huge wildfires in Australia a few years ago were a dry run?
Like the Trinity test on home soil before unleashing hell in Japan . . .

It's all true! We've even planted counter intell to misdirect!
