[Mad Max] Is it possible there are any remnants of the Australian government and/or military left?

Just something I’ve been thinking about lately. I discuss this somewhat in a somewhat related question I posted 2 years ago but I thought I’d make a post asking this specific question.


While there is of course some government left during the first movie, what about by the later ones? Such as Fury Road?


Is there any chance that any remnant of the Australian government or military could still exist?

Let's sort this out by timeline.

The first film was when the society was already on the brink of collapse, and MFP was a rudimentary, hastily formed police force to try to protect some small renmants of functional society left.

By the second film, global apocalypse already occured and society crumbled. MFP ceased to exist and you see proof of it as some of Lord Humongous's gang wears MFP leather and drives MFP cars.

Third film, set 15 years further, there is nothing left. Hell, people were shocked when Max said that he was a cop.

And the fourth film, which, while a reboot, is set a bit after the trilogy, you can see that it's a wild wasteland like in Fallout. However, Immortan Joe's backstory shows that his original gang were former Australian military. He was a Colonel and his inner circle are his former disciples.

So, yeah, maybe there was military, but mostly in the first movie, if at all.
