A popular way to shorten the phrase 'Western Australia', a large state that covers the west coast of Australia.

This term has gained popularity after the COVID-19 pandemic gave many Australians a sense of pride in their state, an interest in state politics and a negative view of other states.

This may be particularly noticeable in Westralia because of Premier Mark McGowan's decision to close the border from the rest of Australia. While eastern states people and the national liberal government hated the premier for isolating them, Westralians everywhere were on board and separate from the rest of Australia flourished, with tourism actually being somewhat positively affected with less residents going overseas.

This re-ignited a conversation of whether Western Australia should be part of Australia at all and creating a distrust in the Liberal party that led to many safe seats being lost to Labor in the 2022 election, and the term 'Westralia' is really a way of showing your state identity.
