through an extrinsic approach related to hegemony. This research was conducted using a qualitative
method with data collection techniques including literature study, observation, and note-taking. The
main data used are novels, as well as several books and journals to support the research. The results
of the research in the novel Terra Nullius are the concept of hegemony and the state involving civil
society, namely the Natives called Aboriginals, with Settlers communities, Europeans. In the
hegemony that occurs, the practice of supremacy has been found, namely a group that manifests
itself in leadership that dominates the opposition to destroy or subdue the Aboriginals with weapons.
All done just to win power over the nobody land called Australia. Consequently, it became an
Integral state, a hegemony shielded by the systems of violence.
