It would be the first time in a hoi game that you cant play with any country you want, so my guess is yes. By the way, playing Australia was funny, but not somethign i would recommend for people new to the game.
Why was it funny? I could imagine it being boring, I was watching a video of hoi3 or 4 and Australia was a massive country with only one military unit.

That why i said it was not a country for people new to hoi. There much happening under the hood
Sì, ma devi mettere il monitor sotto sopra.
Yes, but you have to turn your monitor upside down.
Of course you cant, the only countries in the game are tannu tuva, Haiti and Luxembourg, Get real
There's no need for that we have suction cups on our boots down under
Every country will be playable like previous HOIs.
You have to be aggressive, take out some smal weak countries, recruite their manpower, take on bigger ones like china, maybe dow Japan in hope of getting US material such as tanks and airplanes that you maybe lack, maybe later on take Indian and build a world empire.
Australia's always fun to play - and gets a reasonable number of units, for it's size. Sorry to re-post (but it's on-topic for this thread/question), but here's some screenies of an Australia game from way back when, with Australia leading the charge at D-Day (after being responsible for invading and subduing Japan) - no mods, SF or TFH, probably on 'normal' in single player. Australia not fun, well I never?!

You can have some epic games as Australia, Ok you cannot doing everything at once but you can certainly get involved and have some really good fun.
I have had games where I have built up my navy and spent the game battling with Japan which is really good though you need to take care of your carriers as you can't afford to lose them. I have fought in the fall of France right across africa and all over asia and India.
The minors can be brilliant to play, especially with the lend lease system once it comes into play.

In HOI3, Australia can have some fun licensing British subs and raiding Japan, sometimes snagging some islands and defending them against Japanese attack without going on bizarre conquest sprees.
I imagine HOI4 will be no different.
