Say the Big Bad is about to Take Over the World, but you have something they need. What would you ask for in return for your help? And you can think big; after all, they do have the entire world to offer, no need to feel constrained to beg to be spared. Or maybe you are the Big Bad, and some wannabe villain has some vital piece of Applied Phlebotinum you need to see your evil plan through, but not the means by which to carry it out himself. What could you offer him to get what you want, and even play to their ego so they won't think to stab you in the back and take your hard-earned godhood for themselves? And even if you already have everything you need to carry out your secretive Evil Plans such as Corporate Conspiracy and Government Conspiracy, nothing says you care quite like promising your most faithful minion a good-sized piece of the planet theirs's about to help you conquer. Whatever the case might be, there is one thing every would-be world dominator needs to ensure that their plan is foolproof and no untoward betrayals go off in the last five minutes of their doomsday clock: Australia. That's right, Australia. Australia isn't a global powerhouse, but is still an enormous piece of real estate, so the Big Bad can make it look like an impressive gift while keeping their mitts on the more important countries like the US, the UK, Russia, China, etc. Australia's dreaded military will also provide the Big Bad more firepower, and an opportunity to own them as Mooks and possibly turning them into Private Military Contractors. Also, it has 25% of the uranium in the world, plenty of gold to mine and sell for profit, and is the largest exporter of beef by... quite a large margin. There are also a lot of reasons it's the perfect base of operations for a junior supervillain, though this may itself be a good reason the Big Bad should rethink giving it to said ambitious subordinate. Even then, these villains would masquerade their intentions in order to lure unwitting citizens and visitors into their Propaganda Machine and Peace & Love Incorporated. It doesn't actually need to be Australia. Any big chunk of territory will do, as long as it makes the junior supervillain a powerful ruler, often while leaving the senior one a much more powerful ruler. See also Throw-Away Country. |

In The Shadow, the villain's toady Farley Claymore turns out to be the one local not under mind-control, declaring instead that "There's a new world order coming, and I'm gonna be a king!" Shiwan Khan somehow catches wind of it, and as the culmination of the plan approaches, it becomes clear that this was not cleared beforehand when he takes a moment to violently shut him down over daring to think himself a "king in my kingdom"; Claymore bargains down position by position until Khan lets him go at "...your choice, of course." | |

Dragon Ball: In the Piccolo Daimao arc, the titular embodiment of evil apparently offered the Pilaf gang half the world as a reward for freeing him, loaning their airship and telling him about the Dragon Balls. Daimao never intended to let them have it though, and he ejects them off their airship once he can execute his plan of world domination. This qualifies as the trope since it's highly unlikely the Pilaf Gang would have had any actual power, since the gulf of villainy between them and Daimao is large enough to fit Mr. Satan's ego and Goku's appetite with room to spare. In the beginning of the Android Arc, King Cold offers Future Trunks a place as his son (shortly after Trunks killed his actual son Frieza), with the promise of planets far more wondrous than Earth. Trunks of course declines out of disinterest before killing him as well. |

In Flash Gordon, Ming offers Flash a Shiny New Earth if he'll switch sides, or at least an Unshiny Old Earth that's been decimated by disasters. Presumably Ming would keep the rest of the solar system for himself. Or he just wanted Flash as Ming's viceroy on Earth, just like all the other princes rule the moons of Mongo in Ming's name. Ming would be the overall ruler and Flash Gordon would have to obey Ming. The decimated Earth would be re-populated by Ming and Dale's offspring. | |

Subverted in Superman: The Animated Series. Darkseid has captured and brainwashed Superman into thinking he's his adopted son who grew up on Apokolips. After a successful battle, he then offers Superman the planet Earth to conquer and rule for himself as per this trope. Superman has no memory of having been there and so doesn't realise how Darkseid is using him. | |

In Mass Effect 3, if Urdnot Wreav is in command of the krogan during the final battle, he agrees to help humanity... so long as he gets Australia in the bargain. He then says he's just kidding. For now. Australia must look downright hospitable when your home is a radioactive Death World filled with gigantic thresher maws. Judging by this board, it seems the natives' response to that request would be, "We welcome our sharktoad cousins. You are welcome to stick around as long as you can survive." |

Rome has the second triumvirate of Mark Antony, Octavian and Lepidus (the latter treated as a Butt-Monkey by the series) arguing over how to divide the Roman world they've just conquered between them. There's tension between Mark Antony and Octavian over who will govern the East with all its riches and who will govern the capital Rome and the West, but when Lepidus asks what he gets, Mark Antony and Octavian offhandedly toss him Africa, after which he is never heard from in the series again. | |

Blake's 7. Servalan tries to convince Vila to surrender the Liberator by offering him a planetary governorship. "Earth, if you like." Vila looks like he's actually contemplating it, before Dayna reminds him of Servalan's Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. Though this trope only applies because Servalan rules an empire spanning hundreds of planets, even if Earth Is the Center of the Universe. | |

A new updated version of Monopoly is called "Monopoly: Here and Now, the World Edition." Alongside being updated for inflation and advances in technology, the Atlantic City streets are scrapped and major world cities are used. This leads to conversations such as, "I'll trade you London for Barcelona." "How much do you want for Tokyo?" "Would anybody like to buy Rome?" | |

In Queen of All Oni, Jade, after her Face–Heel Turn, jokingly says that the ultimate goal of the Shadow Hand (her recreation of the Dark Hand) is to take over Australia (Jade is smart enough to realize that world domination never ends well for those who try it) and gets mad at the Enforcers when they take her seriously. Bit of continuity fridge brilliance when one considers that the Book of Ages, one of the most powerful magical artifacts in the series, is hidden in the Australian outback. |
