Answer:
Fort Sumter is an island fortification located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina most famous for being the site of the first shots of the Civil War (1861-65). Originally constructed in 1829 as a coastal garrison, U.S. Major Robert Anderson occupied the unfinished fort in December 1860 following South Carolina’s secession from the Union, initiating a standoff with the state’s militia forces. When President Abraham Lincoln announced plans to resupply the fort, Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard bombarded Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, kicking off the Battle of Fort Sumter. After a 34-hour exchange of artillery fire, Anderson and 86 soldiers surrendered the fort on April 13. Confederate troops then occupied Fort Sumter for nearly four years, resisting several bombardments by Union forces before abandoning the garrison prior to William T. Sherman’s capture of Charleston in February 1865. After the Civil War, Fort Sumter was restored by the U.S. military and manned during the Spanish-American War (1898), World War I (1914-18), and World War II (1939-45). It’s now a National Historic Site.

Obviously Australia doesn't have the economic strength of Europe or the North American Free Trade Agreement, but between the two, it can be measured in different ways, many people would suggest that EU is in fact bigger, but by measure of GDP, the EU is dominated by NAFTA with a per capita GDP of just over $21k in comparison to EU28's which is just over $18k
I would suggest that it is NAFTA at the moment but this answer might be subject to change in the future,
