}}

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, and more recently expanded far north into Indonesia and up towards China, and to the far east past New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 609, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 129 towns scattered across the Australian continent and parts of Asia which make it the largest nation of the region in both chunks and residents.
Pilbara also consists of 11 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], using gold that had originated from the pre-overclaim grace period of unclaiming chunks, it was led by Unitivebog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name, with the capital city, Onslow Bay being named after a small town in the Pilbara in real life.

== Etymology ==
According to the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre Wangka Maya, the name for the Pilbara region may derive from the Aboriginal word "bilybara" ("dry" in Nyamal and Banyjima languages). Alternatively, it could originate from "pilbarra," an Aboriginal word for salt-water mullet. This fish name was associated with Pilbarra Creek (a Yule River tributary, later "Pilbara" Creek), which in turn lent its name to the Pilbara Goldfield (discovered 1885). The goldfield's name then became synonymous with the wider region.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

On Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth, acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]]

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, and seeing an opportunity with Australia busy fighting the Oceanian Rebel State, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion outside their designated borders.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow, with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora at the time.

=== Second Pilbaro-Australian War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
The Australians, on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to what they believed to be aggression by Pilbara and a pretention to control all of Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians. Eventually, a private conversation would be intercepted by Oceania, in which the Australians planned to stage a conflict between Pilbara and Australia rather than formally declare one. In response, Pilbara officially declared war on Australia, beginning the Second Pilbaro-Australian War.

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus, and the beginning of Pilbara's growth in Eastern Australia.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, CooberPedy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently. 

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy ===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being purchased by Owry and renamed to Gippsland.

=== Great Australian War (4th Pilbaro-Australian War) ===
{{Main article|Great_Australian_War}}
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war on the 7th of October, 2024, following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. Initially, the war saw Australia purchase Theopolis, a town south of NA's capital NYC. Soon after this, NA leader Gautomy made clear his intentions to leave EarthMC temporarily to focus on irl circumstances. He handed off the nation to other NA citizens, who swiftly opted to sell the nation to Australia, with permission from Gautomy. Around this time, the town of Onfast_Bay was also sold to Australia.

Following this, the war would stalemate, with only occasional PVP battles occurring, with disputed outcomes until May 3rd, when Pilbara's PM (SparkleAquaRose), released an announcement declaring victory, which meant that the war was no longer recognized by Pilbara or the Pilbaran Empire.

Later, on June 12th, Pilbara bombed Coober Pedy for a second time, with over 20 spectators witnessing the explosion.

On August 17th, Pilbara experienced an exodus of PLP members to Australia, which consequently allowed Australia to reclaim Coober Pedy and fully restore it, as well as gain several other Pilbaran towns within the NSW/Victoria region.

=== Pilbaran Republican Party Controversy ===
On March 3rd, 2025, former PM of Pilbara GabeTheSavior, would announce the launch of the Pilbaran Republican Party, with the (disputed) goal of limiting Kobi's influence in parliament. This would lead to a series of debates which ended in the party's rebranding and eventual dissolution. The Party would go on to win the subsequent election, with GabeTheSavior becoming Prime Minister, becoming the first and currently only Prime Minister to serve a second term, although he resigned, and SparkleAquaRose became Prime Minister for the remainder of the term.

=== Fall of the Pilbaran Unionist Party ===
The Pilbaran Unionist Party dissolved on the 28th of April, 2025, following internal disputes. This allowed the PPP / PSDP coalition to take over as Pilbara's largest political organization.

=== Panth_r Unban ===
A well-known Pilbaran, Panth_r, was unbanned on June 24th 2025, following his posting of a screenshot containing X-ray to TBI a year earlier.

=== Rise of the Pilbaran Labour Party ===
Following the PPP / PSDP coalition's victory in the April 2025 election and Panth_r's unban, seeing it as an opportunity to participate in Pilbaran politics, Panth_r resigned as Governor General and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior later succeeding him through an uncontested election. Following this, a swath of members from the Pilbaran Social Democratic Party (PSDP) left. The party faced some criticism for this, with the members being exiled from the PSDP. Labour would become the second major opposition party to the PPP/PSDP, contesting the August/September Elections and winning, leading to Panth_r becoming the next Prime Minister of Pilbara.

=== Colonial Period ===
Under LakeFish19's June-July government, with major assistance from members of Pilbaran intelligence, Pilbara's Empire rapidly incorporated nations, eventually absorbing 18 at its peak. The most notable of these was [[Aurora:RSA|RSA]], which alone brought over 200 new residents to the empire. While the exact beginning of the period may be subject to interpretation, an estimate placing the period from June 15th to July 16th, 2025, coinciding with the acquisition of Diamantia and Getz as well as LakeFish19’s later departure, is reasonable.

=== Nubian Tensions ===
Toward the end of Pilbara's colonial period, they would face backlash from [[Aurora:Nubia|Nubian]] officials, primarily due to their expansion into Africa through Eko, [[Aurora:Gold_Coast|Gold Coast]], and Equatorial Guinea, as well as the hunting of their residents. This led a high-ranking official and former leader of Nubia, twomoo1119, to place an overclaim town on Pilbara's colony of East Timor. The main arguments of the discussions that followed were regarding Nubia’s borders in Africa, which, disputably, did not extend outward to where Pilbara’s colonies were located; the aforementioned targeting of residents; and both nations' positions within their respective alliances, with Nubia being in the Entente and Pilbara in the OFN. Eventually, an agreement would be reached between the two nations and another NAP was signed, although tensions arose again following Pilbara's acquisition of RSA on the 16th of July, and subsequent renewal of an RSA NAP with [[Aurora:Crusader States|Crusader States]], a nation enemied to Nubia.

=== LakeFish19 Resignation ===
In the last week of the LakeFish19's Government, he would abruptly resign as Prime Minister and quit EarthMC. Although there is no clear reason as to why, UnitiveBog10934 quickly succeeded LakeFish19, and served the rest of LakeFish19's term, ending on the 28th of July 2025.

=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
Midway through Panth_r's term as Prime Minister, on August 17, 2025, he resigned and handed over his position to BCN_Mark. This was followed by the resignation of the governor general, the external affairs and infrastructure ministers, and then six members of parliament followed by leaving the nation of Pilbara. These resignations meant that no party from either side of the opposition could form a government, resulting in the permanent removal of the party system and a complete reform of the Pilbaran electoral system towards a more unified government. The reasons for the resignation and leaving of the nation were at first unknown with everyone giving unclear answers, but within the following days the answer was more clear that the at the time Prime Minister Panth_r was bored of being in the nation and decided to leave, with a majority of his party (The PLP) deciding to follow him, first to Laurentides and later to reclaim Oceania. Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, including most towns in the southeast of the continent, the overclaim town on CooberPedy (Australia's Capital), and Mungaroona. The conflict eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty. The effects on Pilbara during the short term were dire, with information provided by UnitiveBog showing a 20% to 30% reduction in towns, residents and chunks, but as of December 2nd, 2025, the nation has shown a 70% to 90% recovery in all sectors and finally on December 16th 2025, Prime Minister Lakefish19 declared the nation had fully recovered.

=== War with Sulawesi and Borneo ===
Following the South-East Rebellion in mid August, the Pilbaran Government led by BCN_Mark and UnitiveBog10934 were looking towards other areas around the nation in order to help the nation recover in lost territory and citizens, and in early to mid September, the Dutch town of Sebangau had committed an overclaim against the nation of Borneo, Borneo managed to negotiate with the dutch to get the town kicked. During this time, Pilbara housed the town temporarily in its nation for a couple days while the Dutch East Indies and Sumatra discussed what to do with it. By September 12th, the town rejoined Sumatra and Borneo declared war on Sumatra, an ally of Pilbara, meanwhile Sulawesi, an ally of Borneo declared support for Borneo, Pilbara declared support for Sumatra and lead major operations against Borneo and Sumatra. During the UnitiveBog10934 term as Prime Minister during October/November 2025, Pilbara managed to overclaim the towns of Timor and Papua in Sulawesi, overclaimed the town of Alboria in Borneo, and managed to gain dozens of towns off of Borneo, including the majority of towns around Singapore, and managed to expand as far as Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam during this push, Pilbara also managed to gain the towns of Krakow on the border of Sulawesi's capital as well as the symbolic town of Kraftier from Sulawesi.
On January 2nd 2026, Pilbara and Sulawesi signed a peace treaty and non aggression pact, and on January 7th 2026, Pilbara declared victory against Borneo following the Pilbaran overclaim of Borneo's Parliament.

=== Discord Nuke ===
On October 9th, months after the departure of Dishonesty, Pilbara's Discord was nuked by him via his EMC utility bot, McGooner. The nuke occurred at 4:24pm 8/10/2025 UTC and resulted in the deletion of all channels, however, roles were not affected. The nuke was initiated during an [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3WWoThxyyVrPhcuwmIJ6Ny interview] involving Panth_r and Dishonesty as part of the Global Chat Podcast. The moderations' response to the nuke was to create a new Discord server and issue a public statement. Reactions to the nuke were mixed, with nations such as Cascadia reacting negatively, while other nations such as Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia reacted positively.

== Geography ==
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna].

The main biomes of Pilbara consists of the flat, dry australian outback, the jungles of the Cape York Peninsula and Northern NT, the coastal grasslands and forests of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and the jungle islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government comprising 8 elected MPs and 7 elected ministers. The Pilbaran system of government combines elements derived from the political systems of Australia, Nubia, and Oceania, continuing to evolve, with key elements like political parties (now defunct) (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (now defunct) (ratified 14/8/2024) being introduced. Conversely, other features, such as the federal system, which was implemented after the July 2024 election, were later discontinued, as it was no longer present by the March 2025 election, as well as those now-defunct aforementioned,

The government operates under the following positions, each of which is supported by a corresponding deputy role:

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

* Deputy Prime Minister (DPM): Deputy of the Prime Minister.

* Minister of Internal Affairs (MoIA): Handles internal issues and funds the expansion of the nation.

* Minister of External Affairs (MoEA): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage) whilst managing foreign affairs (MoI and MoFA merged to become MoEO)

* Minister of Defence (MoD): Plans war strategies and provides supplies.

* Minister of Trade (MoT): Oversees trade/shops and internal trade systems.

* Minister of Community (MoC): Creates and runs events to keep activity and morale high.

* Minister of Recruitment (MoR): Responsible for recruiting new residents into Pilbara or aiding others in doing so.

* Minister of National Development (MoND): Responsible for managing and building infrastructure, roads and building projects, also creates helpful guides/resources. Head of Pilbara Transport Authority.

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the king, kobiKraft.
Elections occur every two months.

One major political group usually forms the majority of parliament, this being the Pilbaran Progressors Party / Pilbaran Social Democratic Party coalition, however, in the past, parliament was instead divided between the more liberal Pilbaran Unionist Party coalition and more conservative Pilbaran Progressors Party coalition. Currently, Parliament is heavily contested between the two major coalitions of the PPP/PSDP Coalition, as well as the Labour/DDP Coalition, with several minor parties such as the Wadiyan People's Liberation Party and Pilbara King Cactus Party forming the crossbench in Parliament.

kobiKraft remains King of Pilbara and retains the right to indefinitely view parliament/cabinet chats as well as veto bills (unless a 2/3 majority is reached). The King of Pilbara also possesses the ability to run for parliament, a right that has sparked various debates.

=== Foreign Relations ===
''Note: Only Meganations are mentioned; sub-meganations are not included in this list.''

Pilbara's diplomatic engagements include membership in the Southern Commonwealth, the United Aurora Accord (UAA), and the Treaty of Microsoft Support.

Formal pacts are in place with various nations:
* Mutual Defense Pacts: Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas, Qing.
* Non-Aggression Pacts / Friendship Treaties: Fennoskandia, Victoria, Nubia, Novosibirsk, Melville, Caspian, Brazil.

Other significant diplomatic statuses include:
* Unofficial Allies / Close Relations: Maintained with Baltic, British Colombia, Imperial Russia, USA, Rio Grande.
* Vassal State / Colony: Luritja exists under Pilbaran suzerainty.
* Guaranteed Independence: Extended to Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas (note: this list mirrors nations with mutual defense pacts).
* Strained Relations / Tensions: Currently with Kazakhstan, Egypt.
* State of War: Pilbara does not deem itself a member of any war since its declaration of victory over Australia, however, members of the Entente Australia, California, Illinois, Oceania, recognise war with Pilbara
* Peace Treaties / Ceasefires: While Pilbara does not consider itself to be at war with any nation following its declared victory over Australia, the Entente, comprising Australia, California, Illinois, and (formerly) Oceania, maintains that a state of war with Pilbara persists.

== Military ==
Following Executive Order 36 on the 29th july 2025, the Pilbaran Military is now led by the Minister of Defence and its deputy and will begin the formation of a new Pilbaran Army. The "Military" role is yet again now the standard role.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].
The economy is separated into 3 distinct states: increase, stagnation and decline.
* Increase: This is the second most common state of the bank, during these periods the bank can increase by 10,000 gold in just a month. 4 distinct increase periods have been recorded, usually lasting around a month.

* Stagnation: This is the most common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings match income and gold levels stay around the same. 4 distinct stagnation periods have been recorded, ranging between 2 to 3 months long.

* Decline: This is the least common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings are larger than income and gold levels drop. 1 distinct decline period has ever been recorded, ranging an unknown amount of time so far.

The overall trend of the Pilbaran economy tends to be an increase however, with the bank right now growing ~48x since September 4th 2024.

=== Trade ===
The nation's official shop is a key component of its trade activities. In recent times, a new shop for Pilbara's largest bulk seller, Pilbara Corp, has begun construction in City 71 of Gibson and was officially opened on the 2nd june 2025. The shop rivals that of Ob, Yamato, and Mali whilst boasting cheaper prices. As of LakeFish19 quitting EarthMC, Giannakycc has taken over the shops responsibilities and stock.

The nations official shop, Pilbara n spawn shop, began upgrade works to the existing shops on the 24th June 2025. The upgrades worked to increase the amount of stock and stock variety, it also worked to upgrade the nation spawn walkways and shops themselves and introduced the ability for players to create their own small shop stalls within the nation spawn too. Shortly after this, works began to build a new and large head shop at the nation spawn which was completed just days after work began on the 7th July 2025.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara.

The nation spawn has been changed many times, but in its current configuration consists of 4 floors with different purposes.

* Floor 1 (The set display): Floor 1 is a set display and exists to display Pilbaras achievements in war and battles. Whilst it's now currently unused/neglected and slightly damaged, it does still host many armour and tool sets to look at.

* Floor 2 (Resident and head shops): Floor 2 consists of 2 sections. The first is the head shop which is large and probably makes up around 50% to 60% of floor 2. The other section is the chunk wide resident shops, residents of Pilbara can obtain a shop plot for free, but foreigners must pay 25g if they wish to open a shop there.

* Floor 3 (Main shop): Floor 3 is the floor in which the nation spawn is and the main shop. The main shop is stocked by multiple people and offers a wide range of items. This floor also contains res shop pads, of which there are 10 with more individual shops dotted about. Residents of Pilbara can obtain a pad free of charge, foreigners can obtain one for the cost of 5g.

* Floor 4 (Blaze Spawner): Floor 4 has a blaze spawner, which you can grind XP from. This floor consists of enchantment areas, small amount of shops and the utilities you need to make enchanted tools or sets. The spawner currently has 10 blaze spawners, gifted by Silverwind when they quit EarthMC, something we are very much grateful for.

== Infrastructure ==
==== Highway System ====
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog10934 and kobiKraft, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Sean came back in December 2024, Planning to build more lines.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of National Development (MoND) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

== Culture ==
Pilbaran culture is rather bizzare, characterized by a plethora of jokes and generally nonsensical things. Pilbara's largest religion, Kobism, is a defining characteristic of Pilbaran culture.

=== Kobism ===
[[File:Kobigod.png|thumb|Artistic interpretation of Kobi]]
[[Kobism|Kobism]] is a cult of personality esque religion within Pilbara and the first [[KobistReligions|Kobist Religion]]. The religion apparently doesn't possess any values and is apparently the result of a long running joke that began in 2020. The religion is often associated with memes and Pilbaran propaganda. Today it is featured within in-game map art depicting kobiKraft in a god-like manner. It should be noted that this meme is not literal.

=== kobiKraft Aliases ===
Another cultural practice is the alteration of the names belonging to kobiKraft, for instance, KobiKraft may sometimes be referred to as: KobeKraft, KoffeeKrab, Krabby Patty, Kobster, NoobiKraft, JobiJraft, balding nerd, Bartholemew KobiKraft of thornbottom, the god KobiKraft the greatest, as well as many more aliases. Evidence of these aliases being used is scarce, but we’ll just have to take Bog’s word for it, I suppose.

}}

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, and more recently expanded far north into Indonesia and up towards China, and to the far east past New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 609, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 129 towns scattered across the Australian continent and parts of Asia which make it the largest nation of the region in both chunks and residents.
Pilbara also consists of 11 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], using gold that had originated from the pre-overclaim grace period of unclaiming chunks, it was led by Unitivebog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name, with the capital city, Onslow Bay being named after a small town in the Pilbara in real life.

== Etymology ==
According to the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre Wangka Maya, the name for the Pilbara region may derive from the Aboriginal word "bilybara" ("dry" in Nyamal and Banyjima languages). Alternatively, it could originate from "pilbarra," an Aboriginal word for salt-water mullet. This fish name was associated with Pilbarra Creek (a Yule River tributary, later "Pilbara" Creek), which in turn lent its name to the Pilbara Goldfield (discovered 1885). The goldfield's name then became synonymous with the wider region.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

On Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth, acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]]

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, and seeing an opportunity with Australia busy fighting the Oceanian Rebel State, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion outside their designated borders.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow, with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora at the time.

=== Second Pilbaro-Australian War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
The Australians, on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to what they believed to be aggression by Pilbara and a pretention to control all of Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians. Eventually, a private conversation would be intercepted by Oceania, in which the Australians planned to stage a conflict between Pilbara and Australia rather than formally declare one. In response, Pilbara officially declared war on Australia, beginning the Second Pilbaro-Australian War.

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus, and the beginning of Pilbara's growth in Eastern Australia.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, CooberPedy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently. 

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy ===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being purchased by Owry and renamed to Gippsland.

=== Great Australian War (4th Pilbaro-Australian War) ===
{{Main article|Great_Australian_War}}
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war on the 7th of October, 2024, following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. Initially, the war saw Australia purchase Theopolis, a town south of NA's capital NYC. Soon after this, NA leader Gautomy made clear his intentions to leave EarthMC temporarily to focus on irl circumstances. He handed off the nation to other NA citizens, who swiftly opted to sell the nation to Australia, with permission from Gautomy. Around this time, the town of Onfast_Bay was also sold to Australia.

Following this, the war would stalemate, with only occasional PVP battles occurring, with disputed outcomes until May 3rd, when Pilbara's PM (SparkleAquaRose), released an announcement declaring victory, which meant that the war was no longer recognized by Pilbara or the Pilbaran Empire.

Later, on June 12th, Pilbara bombed Coober Pedy for a second time, with over 20 spectators witnessing the explosion.

On August 17th, Pilbara experienced an exodus of PLP members to Australia, which consequently allowed Australia to reclaim Coober Pedy and fully restore it, as well as gain several other Pilbaran towns within the NSW/Victoria region.

=== Pilbaran Republican Party Controversy ===
On March 3rd, 2025, former PM of Pilbara GabeTheSavior, would announce the launch of the Pilbaran Republican Party, with the (disputed) goal of limiting Kobi's influence in parliament. This would lead to a series of debates which ended in the party's rebranding and eventual dissolution. The Party would go on to win the subsequent election, with GabeTheSavior becoming Prime Minister, becoming the first and currently only Prime Minister to serve a second term, although he resigned, and SparkleAquaRose became Prime Minister for the remainder of the term.

=== Fall of the Pilbaran Unionist Party ===
The Pilbaran Unionist Party dissolved on the 28th of April, 2025, following internal disputes. This allowed the PPP / PSDP coalition to take over as Pilbara's largest political organization.

=== Panth_r Unban ===
A well-known Pilbaran, Panth_r, was unbanned on June 24th 2025, following his posting of a screenshot containing X-ray to TBI a year earlier.

=== Rise of the Pilbaran Labour Party ===
Following the PPP / PSDP coalition's victory in the April 2025 election and Panth_r's unban, seeing it as an opportunity to participate in Pilbaran politics, Panth_r resigned as Governor General and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior later succeeding him through an uncontested election. Following this, a swath of members from the Pilbaran Social Democratic Party (PSDP) left. The party faced some criticism for this, with the members being exiled from the PSDP. Labour would become the second major opposition party to the PPP/PSDP, contesting the August/September Elections and winning, leading to Panth_r becoming the next Prime Minister of Pilbara.

=== Colonial Period ===
Under LakeFish19's June-July government, with major assistance from members of Pilbaran intelligence, Pilbara's Empire rapidly incorporated nations, eventually absorbing 18 at its peak. The most notable of these was [[Aurora:RSA|RSA]], which alone brought over 200 new residents to the empire. While the exact beginning of the period may be subject to interpretation, an estimate placing the period from June 15th to July 16th, 2025, coinciding with the acquisition of Diamantia and Getz as well as LakeFish19’s later departure, is reasonable.

=== Nubian Tensions ===
Toward the end of Pilbara's colonial period, they would face backlash from [[Aurora:Nubia|Nubian]] officials, primarily due to their expansion into Africa through Eko, [[Aurora:Gold_Coast|Gold Coast]], and Equatorial Guinea, as well as the hunting of their residents. This led a high-ranking official and former leader of Nubia, twomoo1119, to place an overclaim town on Pilbara's colony of East Timor. The main arguments of the discussions that followed were regarding Nubia’s borders in Africa, which, disputably, did not extend outward to where Pilbara’s colonies were located; the aforementioned targeting of residents; and both nations' positions within their respective alliances, with Nubia being in the Entente and Pilbara in the OFN. Eventually, an agreement would be reached between the two nations and another NAP was signed, although tensions arose again following Pilbara's acquisition of RSA on the 16th of July, and subsequent renewal of an RSA NAP with [[Aurora:Crusader States|Crusader States]], a nation enemied to Nubia.

=== LakeFish19 Resignation ===
In the last week of the LakeFish19's Government, he would abruptly resign as Prime Minister and quit EarthMC. Although there is no clear reason as to why, UnitiveBog10934 quickly succeeded LakeFish19, and served the rest of LakeFish19's term, ending on the 28th of July 2025.

=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
Midway through Panth_r's term as Prime Minister, on August 17, 2025, he resigned and handed over his position to BCN_Mark. This was followed by the resignation of the governor general, the external affairs and infrastructure ministers, and then six members of parliament followed by leaving the nation of Pilbara. These resignations meant that no party from either side of the opposition could form a government, resulting in the permanent removal of the party system and a complete reform of the Pilbaran electoral system towards a more unified government. The reasons for the resignation and leaving of the nation were at first unknown with everyone giving unclear answers, but within the following days the answer was more clear that the at the time Prime Minister Panth_r was bored of being in the nation and decided to leave, with a majority of his party (The PLP) deciding to follow him, first to Laurentides and later to reclaim Oceania. Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, including most towns in the southeast of the continent, the overclaim town on CooberPedy (Australia's Capital), and Mungaroona. The conflict eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty. The effects on Pilbara during the short term were dire, with information provided by UnitiveBog showing a 20% to 30% reduction in towns, residents and chunks, but as of December 2nd, 2025, the nation has shown a 70% to 90% recovery in all sectors and finally on December 16th 2025, Prime Minister Lakefish19 declared the nation had fully recovered.

=== Discord Nuke ===
On October 9th, months after the departure of Dishonesty, Pilbara's Discord was nuked by him via his EMC utility bot, McGooner. The nuke occurred at 4:24pm 8/10/2025 UTC and resulted in the deletion of all channels, however, roles were not affected. The nuke was initiated during an [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3WWoThxyyVrPhcuwmIJ6Ny interview] involving Panth_r and Dishonesty as part of the Global Chat Podcast. The moderations' response to the nuke was to create a new Discord server and issue a public statement. Reactions to the nuke were mixed, with nations such as Cascadia reacting negatively, while other nations such as Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia reacted positively.

== Geography ==
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna].

The main biomes of Pilbara consists of the flat, dry australian outback, the jungles of the Cape York Peninsula and Northern NT, the coastal grasslands and forests of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and the jungle islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government comprising 8 elected MPs and 7 elected ministers. The Pilbaran system of government combines elements derived from the political systems of Australia, Nubia, and Oceania, continuing to evolve, with key elements like political parties (now defunct) (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (now defunct) (ratified 14/8/2024) being introduced. Conversely, other features, such as the federal system, which was implemented after the July 2024 election, were later discontinued, as it was no longer present by the March 2025 election, as well as those now-defunct aforementioned,

The government operates under the following positions, each of which is supported by a corresponding deputy role:

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

* Deputy Prime Minister (DPM): Deputy of the Prime Minister.

* Minister of Internal Affairs (MoIA): Handles internal issues and funds the expansion of the nation.

* Minister of External Affairs (MoEA): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage) whilst managing foreign affairs (MoI and MoFA merged to become MoEO)

* Minister of Defence (MoD): Plans war strategies and provides supplies.

* Minister of Trade (MoT): Oversees trade/shops and internal trade systems.

* Minister of Community (MoC): Creates and runs events to keep activity and morale high.

* Minister of Recruitment (MoR): Responsible for recruiting new residents into Pilbara or aiding others in doing so.

* Minister of National Development (MoND): Responsible for managing and building infrastructure, roads and building projects, also creates helpful guides/resources. Head of Pilbara Transport Authority.

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the king, kobiKraft.
Elections occur every two months.

One major political group usually forms the majority of parliament, this being the Pilbaran Progressors Party / Pilbaran Social Democratic Party coalition, however, in the past, parliament was instead divided between the more liberal Pilbaran Unionist Party coalition and more conservative Pilbaran Progressors Party coalition. Currently, Parliament is heavily contested between the two major coalitions of the PPP/PSDP Coalition, as well as the Labour/DDP Coalition, with several minor parties such as the Wadiyan People's Liberation Party and Pilbara King Cactus Party forming the crossbench in Parliament.

kobiKraft remains King of Pilbara and retains the right to indefinitely view parliament/cabinet chats as well as veto bills (unless a 2/3 majority is reached). The King of Pilbara also possesses the ability to run for parliament, a right that has sparked various debates.

=== Foreign Relations ===
''Note: Only Meganations are mentioned; sub-meganations are not included in this list.''

Pilbara's diplomatic engagements include membership in the Southern Commonwealth, the United Aurora Accord (UAA), and the Treaty of Microsoft Support.

Formal pacts are in place with various nations:
* Mutual Defense Pacts: Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas, Qing.

Other significant diplomatic statuses include:
* Unofficial Allies / Close Relations: Maintained with Baltic, British Colombia, Imperial Russia, USA, Rio Grande.
* Vassal State / Colony: Luritja exists under Pilbaran suzerainty.
* Guaranteed Independence: Extended to Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas (note: this list mirrors nations with mutual defense pacts).
* Strained Relations / Tensions: Currently with Kazakhstan, Egypt.
* State of War: Pilbara does not deem itself a member of any war since its declaration of victory over Australia, however, members of the Entente Australia, California, Illinois, Oceania, recognise war with Pilbara
* Peace Treaties / Ceasefires: While Pilbara does not consider itself to be at war with any nation following its declared victory over Australia, the Entente, comprising Australia, California, Illinois, and (formerly) Oceania, maintains that a state of war with Pilbara persists.

== Military ==
Following Executive Order 36 on the 29th july 2025, the Pilbaran Military is now led by the Minister of Defence and its deputy and will begin the formation of a new Pilbaran Army. The "Military" role is yet again now the standard role.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].
The economy is separated into 3 distinct states: increase, stagnation and decline.
* Increase: This is the second most common state of the bank, during these periods the bank can increase by 10,000 gold in just a month. 4 distinct increase periods have been recorded, usually lasting around a month.

* Stagnation: This is the most common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings match income and gold levels stay around the same. 4 distinct stagnation periods have been recorded, ranging between 2 to 3 months long.

* Decline: This is the least common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings are larger than income and gold levels drop. 1 distinct decline period has ever been recorded, ranging an unknown amount of time so far.

The overall trend of the Pilbaran economy tends to be an increase however, with the bank right now growing ~48x since September 4th 2024.

=== Trade ===
The nation's official shop is a key component of its trade activities. In recent times, a new shop for Pilbara's largest bulk seller, Pilbara Corp, has begun construction in City 71 of Gibson and was officially opened on the 2nd june 2025. The shop rivals that of Ob, Yamato, and Mali whilst boasting cheaper prices. As of LakeFish19 quitting EarthMC, Giannakycc has taken over the shops responsibilities and stock.

The nations official shop, Pilbara n spawn shop, began upgrade works to the existing shops on the 24th June 2025. The upgrades worked to increase the amount of stock and stock variety, it also worked to upgrade the nation spawn walkways and shops themselves and introduced the ability for players to create their own small shop stalls within the nation spawn too. Shortly after this, works began to build a new and large head shop at the nation spawn which was completed just days after work began on the 7th July 2025.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara.

The nation spawn has been changed many times, but in its current configuration consists of 4 floors with different purposes.

* Floor 1 (The set display): Floor 1 is a set display and exists to display Pilbaras achievements in war and battles. Whilst it's now currently unused/neglected and slightly damaged, it does still host many armour and tool sets to look at.

* Floor 2 (Resident and head shops): Floor 2 consists of 2 sections. The first is the head shop which is large and probably makes up around 50% to 60% of floor 2. The other section is the chunk wide resident shops, residents of Pilbara can obtain a shop plot for free, but foreigners must pay 25g if they wish to open a shop there.

* Floor 3 (Main shop): Floor 3 is the floor in which the nation spawn is and the main shop. The main shop is stocked by multiple people and offers a wide range of items. This floor also contains res shop pads, of which there are 10 with more individual shops dotted about. Residents of Pilbara can obtain a pad free of charge, foreigners can obtain one for the cost of 5g.

* Floor 4 (Blaze Spawner): Floor 4 has a blaze spawner, which you can grind XP from. This floor consists of enchantment areas, small amount of shops and the utilities you need to make enchanted tools or sets. The spawner currently has 10 blaze spawners, gifted by Silverwind when they quit EarthMC, something we are very much grateful for.

== Infrastructure ==
==== Highway System ====
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog10934 and kobiKraft, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Sean came back in December 2024, Planning to build more lines.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of National Development (MoND) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

}}

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, and more recently expanded far north into Indonesia and up towards China, and to the far east past New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 609, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 129 towns scattered across the Australian continent and parts of Asia which make it the largest nation of the region in both chunks and residents.
Pilbara also consists of 11 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], using gold that had originated from the pre-overclaim grace period of unclaiming chunks, it was led by Unitivebog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name, with the capital city, Onslow Bay being named after a small town in the Pilbara in real life.

== Etymology ==
According to the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre Wangka Maya, the name for the Pilbara region may derive from the Aboriginal word "bilybara" ("dry" in Nyamal and Banyjima languages). Alternatively, it could originate from "pilbarra," an Aboriginal word for salt-water mullet. This fish name was associated with Pilbarra Creek (a Yule River tributary, later "Pilbara" Creek), which in turn lent its name to the Pilbara Goldfield (discovered 1885). The goldfield's name then became synonymous with the wider region.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

On Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth, acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]]

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, and seeing an opportunity with Australia busy fighting the Oceanian Rebel State, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion outside their designated borders.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow, with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora at the time.

=== Second Pilbaro-Australian War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
The Australians, on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to what they believed to be aggression by Pilbara and a pretention to control all of Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians. Eventually, a private conversation would be intercepted by Oceania, in which the Australians planned to stage a conflict between Pilbara and Australia rather than formally declare one. In response, Pilbara officially declared war on Australia, beginning the Second Pilbaro-Australian War.

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus, and the beginning of Pilbara's growth in Eastern Australia.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, CooberPedy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently. 

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy ===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being purchased by Owry and renamed to Gippsland.

=== Great Australian War (4th Pilbaro-Australian War) ===
{{Main article|Great_Australian_War}}
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war on the 7th of October, 2024, following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. Initially, the war saw Australia purchase Theopolis, a town south of NA's capital NYC. Soon after this, NA leader Gautomy made clear his intentions to leave EarthMC temporarily to focus on irl circumstances. He handed off the nation to other NA citizens, who swiftly opted to sell the nation to Australia, with permission from Gautomy. Around this time, the town of Onfast_Bay was also sold to Australia.

Following this, the war would stalemate, with only occasional PVP battles occurring, with disputed outcomes until May 3rd, when Pilbara's PM (SparkleAquaRose), released an announcement declaring victory, which meant that the war was no longer recognized by Pilbara or the Pilbaran Empire.

Later, on June 12th, Pilbara bombed Coober Pedy for a second time, with over 20 spectators witnessing the explosion.

On August 17th, Pilbara experienced an exodus of PLP members to Australia, which consequently allowed Australia to reclaim Coober Pedy and fully restore it, as well as gain several other Pilbaran towns within the NSW/Victoria region.

=== Pilbaran Republican Party Controversy ===
On March 3rd, 2025, former PM of Pilbara GabeTheSavior, would announce the launch of the Pilbaran Republican Party, with the (disputed) goal of limiting Kobi's influence in parliament. This would lead to a series of debates which ended in the party's rebranding and eventual dissolution. The Party would go on to win the subsequent election, with GabeTheSavior becoming Prime Minister, becoming the first and currently only Prime Minister to serve a second term, although he resigned, and SparkleAquaRose became Prime Minister for the remainder of the term.

=== Fall of the Pilbaran Unionist Party ===
The Pilbaran Unionist Party dissolved on the 28th of April, 2025, following internal disputes. This allowed the PPP / PSDP coalition to take over as Pilbara's largest political organization.

=== Panth_r Unban ===
A well-known Pilbaran, Panth_r, was unbanned on June 24th 2025, following his posting of a screenshot containing X-ray to TBI a year earlier.

=== Rise of the Pilbaran Labour Party ===
Following the PPP / PSDP coalition's victory in the April 2025 election and Panth_r's unban, seeing it as an opportunity to participate in Pilbaran politics, Panth_r resigned as Governor General and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior later succeeding him through an uncontested election. Following this, a swath of members from the Pilbaran Social Democratic Party (PSDP) left. The party faced some criticism for this, with the members being exiled from the PSDP. Labour would become the second major opposition party to the PPP/PSDP, contesting the August/September Elections and winning, leading to Panth_r becoming the next Prime Minister of Pilbara.

=== Colonial Period ===
Under LakeFish19's June-July government, with major assistance from members of Pilbaran intelligence, Pilbara's Empire rapidly incorporated nations, eventually absorbing 18 at its peak. The most notable of these was [[Aurora:RSA|RSA]], which alone brought over 200 new residents to the empire. While the exact beginning of the period may be subject to interpretation, an estimate placing the period from June 15th to July 16th, 2025, coinciding with the acquisition of Diamantia and Getz as well as LakeFish19’s later departure, is reasonable.

=== Nubian Tensions ===
Toward the end of Pilbara's colonial period, they would face backlash from [[Aurora:Nubia|Nubian]] officials, primarily due to their expansion into Africa through Eko, [[Aurora:Gold_Coast|Gold Coast]], and Equatorial Guinea, as well as the hunting of their residents. This led a high-ranking official and former leader of Nubia, twomoo1119, to place an overclaim town on Pilbara's colony of East Timor. The main arguments of the discussions that followed were regarding Nubia’s borders in Africa, which, disputably, did not extend outward to where Pilbara’s colonies were located; the aforementioned targeting of residents; and both nations' positions within their respective alliances, with Nubia being in the Entente and Pilbara in the OFN. Eventually, an agreement would be reached between the two nations and another NAP was signed, although tensions arose again following Pilbara's acquisition of RSA on the 16th of July, and subsequent renewal of an RSA NAP with [[Aurora:Crusader States|Crusader States]], a nation enemied to Nubia.

=== LakeFish19 Resignation ===
In the last week of the LakeFish19's Government, he would abruptly resign as Prime Minister and quit EarthMC. Although there is no clear reason as to why, UnitiveBog10934 quickly succeeded LakeFish19, and served the rest of LakeFish19's term, ending on the 28th of July 2025.

=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
Midway through Panth_r's term as Prime Minister, on August 17, 2025, he resigned and handed over his position to BCN_Mark. This was followed by the resignation of the governor general, the external affairs and infrastructure ministers, and then six members of parliament followed by leaving the nation of Pilbara. These resignations meant that no party from either side of the opposition could form a government, resulting in the permanent removal of the party system and a complete reform of the Pilbaran electoral system towards a more unified government. The reasons for the resignation and leaving of the nation were at first unknown with everyone giving unclear answers, but within the following days the answer was more clear that the at the time Prime Minister Panth_r was bored of being in the nation and decided to leave, with a majority of his party (The PLP) deciding to follow him, first to Laurentides and later to reclaim Oceania. Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, including most towns in the southeast of the continent, the overclaim town on CooberPedy (Australia's Capital), and Mungaroona. The conflict eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty. The effects on Pilbara during the short term were dire, with information provided by UnitiveBog showing a 20% to 30% reduction in towns, residents and chunks, but as of December 2nd, 2025, the nation has shown a 70% to 90% recovery in all sectors.

=== Discord Nuke ===
On October 9th, months after the departure of Dishonesty, Pilbara's Discord was nuked by him via his EMC utility bot, McGooner. The nuke occurred at 4:24pm 8/10/2025 UTC and resulted in the deletion of all channels, however, roles were not affected. The nuke was initiated during an [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3WWoThxyyVrPhcuwmIJ6Ny interview] involving Panth_r and Dishonesty as part of the Global Chat Podcast. The moderations' response to the nuke was to create a new Discord server and issue a public statement. Reactions to the nuke were mixed, with nations such as Cascadia reacting negatively, while other nations such as Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia reacted positively.

== Geography ==
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna].

The main biomes of Pilbara consists of the flat, dry australian outback, the jungles of the Cape York Peninsula and Northern NT, the coastal grasslands and forests of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and the jungle islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government comprising 8 elected MPs and 7 elected ministers. The Pilbaran system of government combines elements derived from the political systems of Australia, Nubia, and Oceania, continuing to evolve, with key elements like political parties (now defunct) (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (now defunct) (ratified 14/8/2024) being introduced. Conversely, other features, such as the federal system, which was implemented after the July 2024 election, were later discontinued, as it was no longer present by the March 2025 election, as well as those now-defunct aforementioned,

The government operates under the following positions, each of which is supported by a corresponding deputy role:

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

* Deputy Prime Minister (DPM): Deputy of the Prime Minister.

* Minister of Internal Affairs (MoIA): Handles internal issues and funds the expansion of the nation.

* Minister of External Affairs (MoEA): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage) whilst managing foreign affairs (MoI and MoFA merged to become MoEO)

* Minister of Defence (MoD): Plans war strategies and provides supplies.

* Minister of Trade (MoT): Oversees trade/shops and internal trade systems.

* Minister of Community (MoC): Creates and runs events to keep activity and morale high.

* Minister of Recruitment (MoR): Responsible for recruiting new residents into Pilbara or aiding others in doing so.

* Minister of National Development (MoND): Responsible for managing and building infrastructure, roads and building projects, also creates helpful guides/resources. Head of Pilbara Transport Authority.

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the king, kobiKraft.
Elections occur every two months.

One major political group usually forms the majority of parliament, this being the Pilbaran Progressors Party / Pilbaran Social Democratic Party coalition, however, in the past, parliament was instead divided between the more liberal Pilbaran Unionist Party coalition and more conservative Pilbaran Progressors Party coalition. Currently, Parliament is heavily contested between the two major coalitions of the PPP/PSDP Coalition, as well as the Labour/DDP Coalition, with several minor parties such as the Wadiyan People's Liberation Party and Pilbara King Cactus Party forming the crossbench in Parliament.

kobiKraft remains King of Pilbara and retains the right to indefinitely view parliament/cabinet chats as well as veto bills (unless a 2/3 majority is reached). The King of Pilbara also possesses the ability to run for parliament, a right that has sparked various debates.

=== Foreign Relations ===
''Note: Only Meganations are mentioned; sub-meganations are not included in this list.''

Pilbara's diplomatic engagements include membership in the Southern Commonwealth, the United Aurora Accord (UAA), and the Treaty of Microsoft Support.

* Strained Relations / Tensions: Currently with Kazakhstan, Egypt.
* State of War: Pilbara does not deem itself a member of any war since its declaration of victory over Australia, however, members of the Entente Australia, California, Illinois, Oceania, recognise war with Pilbara
* Peace Treaties / Ceasefires: While Pilbara does not consider itself to be at war with any nation following its declared victory over Australia, the Entente, comprising Australia, California, Illinois, and (formerly) Oceania, maintains that a state of war with Pilbara persists.

== Military ==
Following Executive Order 36 on the 29th july 2025, the Pilbaran Military is now led by the Minister of Defence and its deputy and will begin the formation of a new Pilbaran Army. The "Military" role is yet again now the standard role.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].
The economy is separated into 3 distinct states: increase, stagnation and decline.
* Increase: This is the second most common state of the bank, during these periods the bank can increase by 10,000 gold in just a month. 4 distinct increase periods have been recorded, usually lasting around a month.

* Stagnation: This is the most common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings match income and gold levels stay around the same. 4 distinct stagnation periods have been recorded, ranging between 2 to 3 months long.

* Decline: This is the least common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings are larger than income and gold levels drop. 1 distinct decline period has ever been recorded, ranging an unknown amount of time so far.

The overall trend of the Pilbaran economy tends to be an increase however, with the bank right now growing ~48x since September 4th 2024.

=== Trade ===
The nation's official shop is a key component of its trade activities. In recent times, a new shop for Pilbara's largest bulk seller, Pilbara Corp, has begun construction in City 71 of Gibson and was officially opened on the 2nd june 2025. The shop rivals that of Ob, Yamato, and Mali whilst boasting cheaper prices. As of LakeFish19 quitting EarthMC, Giannakycc has taken over the shops responsibilities and stock.

The nations official shop, Pilbara n spawn shop, began upgrade works to the existing shops on the 24th June 2025. The upgrades worked to increase the amount of stock and stock variety, it also worked to upgrade the nation spawn walkways and shops themselves and introduced the ability for players to create their own small shop stalls within the nation spawn too. Shortly after this, works began to build a new and large head shop at the nation spawn which was completed just days after work began on the 7th July 2025.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara.

The nation spawn has been changed many times, but in its current configuration consists of 4 floors with different purposes.

* Floor 1 (The set display): Floor 1 is a set display and exists to display Pilbaras achievements in war and battles. Whilst it's now currently unused/neglected and slightly damaged, it does still host many armour and tool sets to look at.

* Floor 2 (Resident and head shops): Floor 2 consists of 2 sections. The first is the head shop which is large and probably makes up around 50% to 60% of floor 2. The other section is the chunk wide resident shops, residents of Pilbara can obtain a shop plot for free, but foreigners must pay 25g if they wish to open a shop there.

* Floor 3 (Main shop): Floor 3 is the floor in which the nation spawn is and the main shop. The main shop is stocked by multiple people and offers a wide range of items. This floor also contains res shop pads, of which there are 10 with more individual shops dotted about. Residents of Pilbara can obtain a pad free of charge, foreigners can obtain one for the cost of 5g.

* Floor 4 (Blaze Spawner): Floor 4 has a blaze spawner, which you can grind XP from. This floor consists of enchantment areas, small amount of shops and the utilities you need to make enchanted tools or sets. The spawner currently has 10 blaze spawners, gifted by Silverwind when they quit EarthMC, something we are very much grateful for.

== Infrastructure ==
==== Highway System ====
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog10934 and kobiKraft, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Sean came back in December 2024, Planning to build more lines.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of National Development (MoND) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

[[File:Kobigod.png|thumb|Artistic interpretation of Kobi]]
[[Kobism|Kobism]] is a cult of personality esque religion within Pilbara and the first [[KobistReligions|Kobist Religion]]. The religion apparently doesn't possess any values and is apparently the result of a long running joke that began in 2020. The religion is often associated with memes and Pilbaran propaganda.

}}

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, and more recently expanded far north into Indonesia and up towards China, and to the far east past New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 609, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 129 towns scattered across the Australian continent and parts of Asia which make it the largest nation of the region in both chunks and residents.
Pilbara also consists of 11 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], using gold that had originated from the pre-overclaim grace period of unclaiming chunks, it was led by Unitivebog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name, with the capital city, Onslow Bay being named after a small town in the Pilbara in real life.

== Etymology ==
According to the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre Wangka Maya, the name for the Pilbara region may derive from the Aboriginal word "bilybara" ("dry" in Nyamal and Banyjima languages). Alternatively, it could originate from "pilbarra," an Aboriginal word for salt-water mullet. This fish name was associated with Pilbarra Creek (a Yule River tributary, later "Pilbara" Creek), which in turn lent its name to the Pilbara Goldfield (discovered 1885). The goldfield's name then became synonymous with the wider region.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

On Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth, acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]]

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, and seeing an opportunity with Australia busy fighting the Oceanian Rebel State, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion outside their designated borders.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow, with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora at the time.

=== Second Pilbaro-Australian War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
The Australians, on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to what they believed to be aggression by Pilbara and a pretention to control all of Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians. Eventually, a private conversation would be intercepted by Oceania, in which the Australians planned to stage a conflict between Pilbara and Australia rather than formally declare one. In response, Pilbara officially declared war on Australia, beginning the Second Pilbaro-Australian War.

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus, and the beginning of Pilbara's growth in Eastern Australia.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, CooberPedy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently. 

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy ===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being purchased by Owry and renamed to Gippsland.

=== Great Australian War (4th Pilbaro-Australian War) ===
{{Main article|Great_Australian_War}}
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war on the 7th of October, 2024, following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. Initially, the war saw Australia purchase Theopolis, a town south of NA's capital NYC. Soon after this, NA leader Gautomy made clear his intentions to leave EarthMC temporarily to focus on irl circumstances. He handed off the nation to other NA citizens, who swiftly opted to sell the nation to Australia, with permission from Gautomy. Around this time, the town of Onfast_Bay was also sold to Australia.

Following this, the war would stalemate, with only occasional PVP battles occurring, with disputed outcomes until May 3rd, when Pilbara's PM (SparkleAquaRose), released an announcement declaring victory, which meant that the war was no longer recognized by Pilbara or the Pilbaran Empire.

Later, on June 12th, Pilbara bombed Coober Pedy for a second time, with over 20 spectators witnessing the explosion.

On August 17th, Pilbara experienced an exodus of PLP members to Australia, which consequently allowed Australia to reclaim Coober Pedy and fully restore it, as well as gain several other Pilbaran towns within the NSW/Victoria region.

=== Pilbaran Republican Party Controversy ===
On March 3rd, 2025, former PM of Pilbara GabeTheSavior, would announce the launch of the Pilbaran Republican Party, with the (disputed) goal of limiting Kobi's influence in parliament. This would lead to a series of debates which ended in the party's rebranding and eventual dissolution. The Party would go on to win the subsequent election, with GabeTheSavior becoming Prime Minister, becoming the first and currently only Prime Minister to serve a second term, although he resigned, and SparkleAquaRose became Prime Minister for the remainder of the term.

=== Fall of the Pilbaran Unionist Party ===
The Pilbaran Unionist Party dissolved on the 28th of April, 2025, following internal disputes. This allowed the PPP / PSDP coalition to take over as Pilbara's largest political organization.

=== Panth_r Unban ===
A well-known Pilbaran, Panth_r, was unbanned on June 24th 2025, following his posting of a screenshot containing X-ray to TBI a year earlier.

=== Rise of the Pilbaran Labour Party ===
Following the PPP / PSDP coalition's victory in the April 2025 election and Panth_r's unban, seeing it as an opportunity to participate in Pilbaran politics, Panth_r resigned as Governor General and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior later succeeding him through an uncontested election. Following this, a swath of members from the Pilbaran Social Democratic Party (PSDP) left. The party faced some criticism for this, with the members being exiled from the PSDP. Labour would become the second major opposition party to the PPP/PSDP, first contesting the August/September Elections.

=== Colonial Period ===
Under LakeFish19's June-July government, with major assistance from members of Pilbaran intelligence, Pilbara's Empire rapidly incorporated nations, eventually absorbing 18 at its peak. The most notable of these was [[Aurora:RSA|RSA]], which alone brought over 200 new residents to the empire. While the exact beginning of the period may be subject to interpretation, an estimate placing the period from June 15th to July 16th, 2025, coinciding with the acquisition of Diamantia and Getz as well as LakeFish19’s later departure, is reasonable.

=== Nubian Tensions ===
Toward the end of Pilbara's colonial period, they would face backlash from [[Aurora:Nubia|Nubian]] officials, primarily due to their expansion into Africa through Eko, [[Aurora:Gold_Coast|Gold Coast]], and Equatorial Guinea, as well as the hunting of their residents. This led a high-ranking official and former leader of Nubia, twomoo1119, to place an overclaim town on Pilbara's colony of East Timor. The main arguments of the discussions that followed were regarding Nubia’s borders in Africa, which, disputably, did not extend outward to where Pilbara’s colonies were located; the aforementioned targeting of residents; and both nations' positions within their respective alliances, with Nubia being in the Entente and Pilbara in the OFN. Eventually, an agreement would be reached between the two nations and another NAP was signed, although tensions arose again following Pilbara's acquisition of RSA on the 16th of July, and subsequent renewal of an RSA NAP with [[Aurora:Crusader States|Crusader States]], a nation enemied to Nubia.

=== LakeFish19 Resignation ===
In the last week of the LakeFish19's Government, he would abruptly resign as Prime Minister and quit EarthMC. Although there is no clear reason as to why, UnitiveBog10934 quickly succeeded LakeFish19, and served the rest of LakeFish19's term, ending on the 28th of July 2025.

=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
Midway through Panth_r's term as Prime Minister, on August 17, 2025, he resigned and handed over his position to BCN_Mark. This was followed by the resignation of the governor general, the external affairs and infrastructure ministers, and then six members of parliament followed by leaving the nation of Pilbara. These resignations meant that no party from either side of the opposition could form a government, resulting in the permanent removal of the party system and a complete reform of the Pilbaran electoral system towards a more unified government. The reasons for the resignation and leaving of the nation were at first unknown with everyone giving unclear answers, but within the following days the answer was more clear that the at the time Prime Minister Panth_r was bored of being in the nation and decided to leave, with a majority of his party (The PLP) deciding to follow him, first to Laurentides and later to reclaim Oceania. Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, including most towns in the southeast of the continent, the overclaim town on CooberPedy (Australia's Capital), and Mungaroona. The conflict eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty. The effects on Pilbara during the short term were dire, with information provided by UnitiveBog showing a 20% to 30% reduction in towns, residents and chunks, but as of December 2nd, 2025, the nation has shown a 70% to 90% recovery in all sectors.

=== Discord Nuke ===
On October 9th, months after the departure of Dishonesty, Pilbara's Discord was nuked by him via his EMC utility bot, McGooner. The nuke occurred at 4:24pm 8/10/2025 UTC and resulted in the deletion of all channels, however, roles were not affected. The nuke was initiated during an [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3WWoThxyyVrPhcuwmIJ6Ny interview] involving Panth_r and Dishonesty as part of the Global Chat Podcast. The moderations' response to the nuke was to create a new Discord server and issue a public statement. Reactions to the nuke were mixed, with nations such as Cascadia reacting negatively, while other nations such as Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia reacted positively.

== Geography ==
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna].

The main biomes of Pilbara consists of the flat, dry australian outback, the jungles of the Cape York Peninsula and Northern NT, the coastal grasslands and forests of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and the jungle islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government comprising 8 elected MPs and 7 elected ministers. The Pilbaran system of government combines elements derived from the political systems of Australia, Nubia, and Oceania, continuing to evolve, with key elements like political parties (now defunct) (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (now defunct) (ratified 14/8/2024) being introduced. Conversely, other features, such as the federal system, which was implemented after the July 2024 election, were later discontinued, as it was no longer present by the March 2025 election, as well as those now-defunct aforementioned,

The government operates under the following positions, each of which is supported by a corresponding deputy role:

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

* Deputy Prime Minister (DPM): Deputy of the Prime Minister.

* Minister of Internal Affairs (MoIA): Handles internal issues and funds the expansion of the nation.

* Minister of External Affairs (MoEA): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage) whilst managing foreign affairs (MoI and MoFA merged to become MoEO)

* Minister of Defence (MoD): Plans war strategies and provides supplies.

* Minister of Trade (MoT): Oversees trade/shops and internal trade systems.

* Minister of Community (MoC): Creates and runs events to keep activity and morale high.

* Minister of Recruitment (MoR): Responsible for recruiting new residents into Pilbara or aiding others in doing so.

* Minister of National Development (MoND): Responsible for managing and building infrastructure, roads and building projects, also creates helpful guides/resources. Head of Pilbara Transport Authority.

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the king, kobiKraft.
Elections occur every two months.

One major political group usually forms the majority of parliament, this being the Pilbaran Progressors Party / Pilbaran Social Democratic Party coalition, however, in the past, parliament was instead divided between the more liberal Pilbaran Unionist Party coalition and more conservative Pilbaran Progressors Party coalition. Currently, Parliament is heavily contested between the two major coalitions of the PPP/PSDP Coalition, as well as the Labour/DDP Coalition, with several minor parties such as the Wadiyan People's Liberation Party and Pilbara King Cactus Party forming the crossbench in Parliament.

kobiKraft remains King of Pilbara and retains the right to indefinitely view parliament/cabinet chats as well as veto bills (unless a 2/3 majority is reached). The King of Pilbara also possesses the ability to run for parliament, a right that has sparked various debates.

=== Foreign Relations ===
''Note: Only Meganations are mentioned; sub-meganations are not included in this list.''

Pilbara's diplomatic engagements include membership in the Southern Commonwealth, the United Aurora Accord (UAA), and the Treaty of Microsoft Support.

Formal pacts are in place with various nations:
* Mutual Defense Pacts: Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas, Qing.
* Non-Aggression Pacts / Friendship Treaties: Fennoskandia, Victoria, Nubia, Novosibirsk, Melville, Caspian, Brazil.

Other significant diplomatic statuses include:
* Unofficial Allies / Close Relations: Maintained with Baltic, British Colombia, Imperial Russia, USA, Rio Grande.
* Vassal State / Colony: Luritja exists under Pilbaran suzerainty.
* Guaranteed Independence: Extended to Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas (note: this list mirrors nations with mutual defense pacts).
* Strained Relations / Tensions: Currently with Kazakhstan, Egypt.
* State of War: Pilbara does not deem itself a member of any war since its declaration of victory over Australia, however, members of the Entente Australia, California, Illinois, Oceania, recognise war with Pilbara
* Peace Treaties / Ceasefires: While Pilbara does not consider itself to be at war with any nation following its declared victory over Australia, the Entente, comprising Australia, California, Illinois, and (formerly) Oceania, maintains that a state of war with Pilbara persists.

== Military ==
Following Executive Order 36 on the 29th july 2025, the Pilbaran Military is now led by the Minister of Defence and its deputy and will begin the formation of a new Pilbaran Army. The "Military" role is yet again now the standard role.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].
The economy is separated into 3 distinct states: increase, stagnation and decline.
* Increase: This is the second most common state of the bank, during these periods the bank can increase by 10,000 gold in just a month. 4 distinct increase periods have been recorded, usually lasting around a month.

* Stagnation: This is the most common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings match income and gold levels stay around the same. 4 distinct stagnation periods have been recorded, ranging between 2 to 3 months long.

* Decline: This is the least common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings are larger than income and gold levels drop. 1 distinct decline period has ever been recorded, ranging an unknown amount of time so far.

The overall trend of the Pilbaran economy tends to be an increase however, with the bank right now growing ~48x since September 4th 2024.

=== Trade ===
The nation's official shop is a key component of its trade activities. In recent times, a new shop for Pilbara's largest bulk seller, Pilbara Corp, has begun construction in City 71 of Gibson and was officially opened on the 2nd june 2025. The shop rivals that of Ob, Yamato, and Mali whilst boasting cheaper prices. As of LakeFish19 quitting EarthMC, Giannakycc has taken over the shops responsibilities and stock.

The nations official shop, Pilbara n spawn shop, began upgrade works to the existing shops on the 24th June 2025. The upgrades worked to increase the amount of stock and stock variety, it also worked to upgrade the nation spawn walkways and shops themselves and introduced the ability for players to create their own small shop stalls within the nation spawn too. Shortly after this, works began to build a new and large head shop at the nation spawn which was completed just days after work began on the 7th July 2025.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara.

The nation spawn has been changed many times, but in its current configuration consists of 4 floors with different purposes.

* Floor 1 (The set display): Floor 1 is a set display and exists to display Pilbaras achievements in war and battles. Whilst it's now currently unused/neglected and slightly damaged, it does still host many armour and tool sets to look at.

* Floor 2 (Resident and head shops): Floor 2 consists of 2 sections. The first is the head shop which is large and probably makes up around 50% to 60% of floor 2. The other section is the chunk wide resident shops, residents of Pilbara can obtain a shop plot for free, but foreigners must pay 25g if they wish to open a shop there.

* Floor 3 (Main shop): Floor 3 is the floor in which the nation spawn is and the main shop. The main shop is stocked by multiple people and offers a wide range of items. This floor also contains res shop pads, of which there are 10 with more individual shops dotted about. Residents of Pilbara can obtain a pad free of charge, foreigners can obtain one for the cost of 5g.

* Floor 4 (Blaze Spawner): Floor 4 has a blaze spawner, which you can grind XP from. This floor consists of enchantment areas, small amount of shops and the utilities you need to make enchanted tools or sets. The spawner currently has 10 blaze spawners, gifted by Silverwind when they quit EarthMC, something we are very much grateful for.

== Infrastructure ==
==== Highway System ====
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog10934 and kobiKraft, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Sean came back in December 2024, Planning to build more lines.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of National Development (MoND) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

}}

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, and more recently expanded far north into Indonesia and up towards China, and to the far east past New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 609, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 129 towns scattered across the Australian continent and parts of Asia which make it the largest nation of the region in both chunks and residents.
Pilbara also consists of 11 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], using gold that had originated from the pre-overclaim grace period of unclaiming chunks, it was led by Unitivebog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name, with the capital city, Onslow Bay being named after a small town in the Pilbara in real life.

== Etymology ==
According to the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre Wangka Maya, the name for the Pilbara region may derive from the Aboriginal word "bilybara" ("dry" in Nyamal and Banyjima languages). Alternatively, it could originate from "pilbarra," an Aboriginal word for salt-water mullet. This fish name was associated with Pilbarra Creek (a Yule River tributary, later "Pilbara" Creek), which in turn lent its name to the Pilbara Goldfield (discovered 1885). The goldfield's name then became synonymous with the wider region.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

On Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth, acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]]

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, and seeing an opportunity with Australia busy fighting the Oceanian Rebel State, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion outside their designated borders.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow, with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora at the time.

=== Second Pilbaro-Australian War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
The Australians, on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to what they believed to be aggression by Pilbara and a pretention to control all of Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians. Eventually, a private conversation would be intercepted by Oceania, in which the Australians planned to stage a conflict between Pilbara and Australia rather than formally declare one. In response, Pilbara officially declared war on Australia, beginning the Second Pilbaro-Australian War.

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus, and the beginning of Pilbara's growth in Eastern Australia.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, CooberPedy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently. 

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy ===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being given to Owry and renamed to Gippsland.

=== Great Australian War (4th Pilbaro-Australian War) ===
{{Main article|Great_Australian_War}}
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war on the 7th of October, 2024, following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. Initially, the war saw Australia purchase Theopolis, a town south of NA's capital NYC. Soon after this, NA leader Gautomy made clear his intentions to leave EarthMC temporarily to focus on irl circumstances. He handed off the nation to other NA citizens, who swiftly opted to sell the nation to Australia, with permission from Gautomy. Around this time, the town of Onfast_Bay was also sold to Australia.

Following this, the war would stalemate, with only occasional PVP battles occurring, with disputed outcomes until May 3rd, when Pilbara's PM (SparkleAquaRose), released an announcement declaring victory, which meant that the war was no longer recognized by Pilbara or the Pilbaran Empire.

Later, on June 12th, Pilbara bombed Coober Pedy for a second time, with over 20 spectators witnessing the explosion.

On August 17th, Pilbara experienced an exodus of PLP members to Australia, which consequently allowed Australia to reclaim Coober Pedy and fully restore it, as well as gain several other Pilbaran towns within the NSW/Victoria region.

=== Pilbaran Republican Party Controversy ===
On March 3rd, 2025, former PM of Pilbara GabeTheSavior, would announce the launch of the Pilbaran Republican Party, with the (disputed) goal of limiting Kobi's influence in parliament. This would lead to a series of debates which ended in the party's rebranding and eventual dissolution. The Party would go on to win the subsequent election, with GabeTheSavior becoming Prime Minister, becoming the first and currently only Prime Minister to serve a second term, although he resigned, and SparkleAquaRose became Prime Minister for the remainder of the term.

=== Fall of the Pilbaran Unionist Party ===
The Pilbaran Unionist Party dissolved on the 28th of April, 2025, following internal disputes. This allowed the PPP / PSDP coalition to take over as Pilbara's largest political organization.

=== Panth_r Unban ===
A well-known Pilbaran, Panth_r, was unbanned on June 24th 2025, following his posting of a screenshot containing X-ray to TBI a year earlier.

=== Rise of the Pilbaran Labour Party ===
Following the PPP / PSDP coalition's victory in the April 2025 election and Panth_r's unban, seeing it as an opportunity to participate in Pilbaran politics, Panth_r resigned as Governor General and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior later succeeding him through an uncontested election. Following this, a swath of members from the Pilbaran Social Democratic Party (PSDP) left. The party faced some criticism for this, with the members being exiled from the PSDP. Labour would become the second major opposition party to the PPP/PSDP, first contesting the August/September Elections.

=== Colonial Period ===
Under LakeFish19's June-July government, with major assistance from members of Pilbaran intelligence, Pilbara's Empire rapidly incorporated nations, eventually absorbing 18 at its peak. The most notable of these was [[Aurora:RSA|RSA]], which alone brought over 200 new residents to the empire. While the exact beginning of the period may be subject to interpretation, an estimate placing the period from June 15th to July 16th, 2025, coinciding with the acquisition of Diamantia and Getz as well as LakeFish19’s later departure, is reasonable.

=== Nubian Tensions ===
Toward the end of Pilbara's colonial period, they would face backlash from [[Aurora:Nubia|Nubian]] officials, primarily due to their expansion into Africa through Eko, [[Aurora:Gold_Coast|Gold Coast]], and Equatorial Guinea, as well as the hunting of their residents. This led a high-ranking official and former leader of Nubia, twomoo1119, to place an overclaim town on Pilbara's colony of East Timor. The main arguments of the discussions that followed were regarding Nubia’s borders in Africa, which, disputably, did not extend outward to where Pilbara’s colonies were located; the aforementioned targeting of residents; and both nations' positions within their respective alliances, with Nubia being in the Entente and Pilbara in the OFN. Eventually, an agreement would be reached between the two nations and another NAP was signed, although tensions arose again following Pilbara's acquisition of RSA on the 16th of July, and subsequent renewal of an RSA NAP with [[Aurora:Crusader States|Crusader States]], a nation enemied to Nubia.

=== LakeFish19 Resignation ===
In the last week of the LakeFish19's Government, he would abruptly resign as Prime Minister and quit EarthMC. Although there is no clear reason as to why, UnitiveBog10934 quickly succeeded LakeFish19, and served the rest of LakeFish19's term, ending on the 28th of July 2025.

=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
Midway through Panth_r's term as Prime Minister, on August 17, 2025, he resigned and handed over his position to BCN_Mark. This was followed by the resignation of the governor general, the external affairs and infrastructure ministers, and then six members of parliament followed by leaving the nation of Pilbara. These resignations meant that no party from either side of the opposition could form a government, resulting in the permanent removal of the party system and a complete reform of the Pilbaran electoral system towards a more unified government. The reasons for the resignation and leaving of the nation were at first unknown with everyone giving unclear answers, but within the following days the answer was more clear that the at the time Prime Minister Panth_r was bored of being in the nation and decided to leave, with a majority of his party (The PLP) deciding to follow him, first to Laurentides and later to reclaim Oceania. Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, including most towns in the southeast of the continent, the overclaim town on CooberPedy (Australia's Capital), and Mungaroona. The conflict eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty. The effects on Pilbara during the short term were dire, with information provided by UnitiveBog showing a 20% to 30% reduction in towns, residents and chunks, but as of December 2nd, 2025, the nation has shown a 70% to 90% recovery in all sectors.

=== Discord Nuke ===
On October 9th, months after the departure of Dishonesty, Pilbara's Discord was nuked by him via his EMC utility bot, McGooner. The nuke occurred at 4:24pm 8/10/2025 UTC and resulted in the deletion of all channels, however, roles were not affected. The nuke was initiated during an [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3WWoThxyyVrPhcuwmIJ6Ny interview] involving Panth_r and Dishonesty as part of the Global Chat Podcast. The moderations' response to the nuke was to create a new Discord server and issue a public statement. Reactions to the nuke were mixed, with nations such as Cascadia reacting negatively, while other nations such as Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia reacted positively.

== Geography ==
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna].

The main biomes of Pilbara consists of the flat, dry australian outback, the jungles of the Cape York Peninsula and Northern NT, the coastal grasslands and forests of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and the jungle islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government comprising 8 elected MPs and 7 elected ministers. The Pilbaran system of government combines elements derived from the political systems of Australia, Nubia, and Oceania, continuing to evolve, with key elements like political parties (now defunct) (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (now defunct) (ratified 14/8/2024) being introduced. Conversely, other features, such as the federal system, which was implemented after the July 2024 election, were later discontinued, as it was no longer present by the March 2025 election, as well as those now-defunct aforementioned,

The government operates under the following positions, each of which is supported by a corresponding deputy role:

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

* Deputy Prime Minister (DPM): Deputy of the Prime Minister.

* Minister of Internal Affairs (MoIA): Handles internal issues and funds the expansion of the nation.

* Minister of External Affairs (MoEA): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage) whilst managing foreign affairs (MoI and MoFA merged to become MoEO)

* Minister of Defence (MoD): Plans war strategies and provides supplies.

* Minister of Trade (MoT): Oversees trade/shops and internal trade systems.

* Minister of Community (MoC): Creates and runs events to keep activity and morale high.

* Minister of Recruitment (MoR): Responsible for recruiting new residents into Pilbara or aiding others in doing so.

* Minister of National Development (MoND): Responsible for managing and building infrastructure, roads and building projects, also creates helpful guides/resources. Head of Pilbara Transport Authority.

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the king, kobiKraft.
Elections occur every two months.

One major political group usually forms the majority of parliament, this being the Pilbaran Progressors Party / Pilbaran Social Democratic Party coalition, however, in the past, parliament was instead divided between the more liberal Pilbaran Unionist Party coalition and more conservative Pilbaran Progressors Party coalition. Currently, Parliament is heavily contested between the two major coalitions of the PPP/PSDP Coalition, as well as the Labour/DDP Coalition, with several minor parties such as the Wadiyan People's Liberation Party and Pilbara King Cactus Party forming the crossbench in Parliament.

kobiKraft remains King of Pilbara and retains the right to indefinitely view parliament/cabinet chats as well as veto bills (unless a 2/3 majority is reached). The King of Pilbara also possesses the ability to run for parliament, a right that has sparked various debates.

=== Foreign Relations ===
''Note: Only Meganations are mentioned; sub-meganations are not included in this list.''

Pilbara's diplomatic engagements include membership in the Southern Commonwealth, the United Aurora Accord (UAA), and the Treaty of Microsoft Support.

Formal pacts are in place with various nations:
* Mutual Defense Pacts: Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas, Qing.

* Vassal State / Colony: Luritja exists under Pilbaran suzerainty.
* Guaranteed Independence: Extended to Havaiki, Cascadia, Vermont, Midwestern Union, Nunavik, Second Mexican Empire, Wollaston, Norway, The Republic, Texas (note: this list mirrors nations with mutual defense pacts).
* Strained Relations / Tensions: Currently with Kazakhstan, Egypt.
* State of War: Pilbara does not deem itself a member of any war since its declaration of victory over Australia, however, members of the Entente Australia, California, Illinois, Oceania, recognise war with Pilbara
* Peace Treaties / Ceasefires: While Pilbara does not consider itself to be at war with any nation following its declared victory over Australia, the Entente, comprising Australia, California, Illinois, and (formerly) Oceania, maintains that a state of war with Pilbara persists.

== Military ==
Following Executive Order 36 on the 29th july 2025, the Pilbaran Military is now led by the Minister of Defence and its deputy and will begin the formation of a new Pilbaran Army. The "Military" role is yet again now the standard role.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].
The economy is separated into 3 distinct states: increase, stagnation and decline.
* Increase: This is the second most common state of the bank, during these periods the bank can increase by 10,000 gold in just a month. 4 distinct increase periods have been recorded, usually lasting around a month.

* Stagnation: This is the most common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings match income and gold levels stay around the same. 4 distinct stagnation periods have been recorded, ranging between 2 to 3 months long.

* Decline: This is the least common state of the bank, during these periods outgoings are larger than income and gold levels drop. 1 distinct decline period has ever been recorded, ranging an unknown amount of time so far.

The overall trend of the Pilbaran economy tends to be an increase however, with the bank right now growing ~48x since September 4th 2024.

=== Trade ===
The nation's official shop is a key component of its trade activities. In recent times, a new shop for Pilbara's largest bulk seller, Pilbara Corp, has begun construction in City 71 of Gibson and was officially opened on the 2nd june 2025. The shop rivals that of Ob, Yamato, and Mali whilst boasting cheaper prices. As of LakeFish19 quitting EarthMC, Giannakycc has taken over the shops responsibilities and stock.

The nations official shop, Pilbara n spawn shop, began upgrade works to the existing shops on the 24th June 2025. The upgrades worked to increase the amount of stock and stock variety, it also worked to upgrade the nation spawn walkways and shops themselves and introduced the ability for players to create their own small shop stalls within the nation spawn too. Shortly after this, works began to build a new and large head shop at the nation spawn which was completed just days after work began on the 7th July 2025.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara.

The nation spawn has been changed many times, but in its current configuration consists of 4 floors with different purposes.

* Floor 1 (The set display): Floor 1 is a set display and exists to display Pilbaras achievements in war and battles. Whilst it's now currently unused/neglected and slightly damaged, it does still host many armour and tool sets to look at.

* Floor 2 (Resident and head shops): Floor 2 consists of 2 sections. The first is the head shop which is large and probably makes up around 50% to 60% of floor 2. The other section is the chunk wide resident shops, residents of Pilbara can obtain a shop plot for free, but foreigners must pay 25g if they wish to open a shop there.

* Floor 3 (Main shop): Floor 3 is the floor in which the nation spawn is and the main shop. The main shop is stocked by multiple people and offers a wide range of items. This floor also contains res shop pads, of which there are 10 with more individual shops dotted about. Residents of Pilbara can obtain a pad free of charge, foreigners can obtain one for the cost of 5g.

* Floor 4 (Blaze Spawner): Floor 4 has a blaze spawner, which you can grind XP from. This floor consists of enchantment areas, small amount of shops and the utilities you need to make enchanted tools or sets. The spawner currently has 10 blaze spawners, gifted by Silverwind when they quit EarthMC, something we are very much grateful for.

== Infrastructure ==
==== Highway System ====
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog10934 and kobiKraft, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Sean came back in December 2024, Planning to build more lines.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of National Development (MoND) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

Aurora:Onslow Bay

759605272607457301: june update for resident count

{{stub}}

{{Town
|title1 = Flag of Onslow Bay
|image1 = [[File:OnslowBayFlag.webp|frameless]] 
|Full_name= Onslow Bay
|Nation= [[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]
|Population= 172
|mayor= [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]]
|Chunks= 1001
|Continent= [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]

[[Category:Pilbara]]

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the ninth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 172 and a size of 1001 chunks, the largest of any on the Australian continent as of June 18th 2025, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the ninth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 155 and a size of 964 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the twelveth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 138 and a size of 964 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 125 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Тръгвам на там където

Няма път или пътека

Бяга светът но ние

Ще е караме полека

Сядаме пред вълните

И на пясъка с китара

Барът е до морето

И морето е до бара

Времето лети все по-далеко,

Ние го следим, но по-полека

Чорлави глави, като пирати

'''Пеем''' и чакаме зората...

Времето лети все по-далеко,

Ние го следим, но по-полека

Огънят гори, луната мига

И за сега това ни стига.

§§§

Утрото без аларма

Е като небе без облак

Някой е спрял Земята,

А бедрата ти са топли.

Гледаме към вълните

И на пясъка с китара

Барът е до морето

И морето е до бара

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 125 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.
== Infrastructure ==
=== Architecture ===
Onslow Bay features fairly mixed architecture, with infrastructure ranging from small huts to modern skyscrapers. It houses a variety of recognisable structures which are essential to the town's architectural integrity, some examples are:
[[File:OnslowBayApartments.png|310x310px|thumb|left|Eastern Apartments]]

===Transportation===

'''Ice road'''

There are 3 ice way systems that go through onslow bay, being National Highway, Onslow Line and [[Aurora:Sean Underground-highway System|SUS]].

The SUS, or Sean system, currently has 6 stations in Onslow Bay. The station on the Green Line: Pilbakraft Hall, Bambüs, Onslow Bay center and Cactus; on the Red Line: Cactus, Onslow south; on the Light Blue Line: Cactus and Drzewszów. You would be able to transfer for the Blue Line at Pilbakraft Hall in the future, and the Light Blue Line will extend further east.

The National Highway has 2 stations in Onslow Bay, one which links to the Green Line at Pilbakraft hall, and another which links at Onslow Bay center via a secondary connection which works only 1 way (north to south).

=== Farms and resources ===
The town publically farms some trees (like dark oak, Acacia, birch, spruce, oak and cherry) in the southeast of the town spawn. There are also animals kept near the town spawn, such as cows, horses and llamas.

The town has an underground mob farm, maintained by JEP700, together with massive potato/carrot/beetrot/wheat farms also maintained underground in various parts of Onslow Bay, there also exists within these underground farms additional tree farms for oak, spruce, acacia and birch wood.

'''Public Resource and donation Centre'''

The town has a public Resource centre located to the north of the town spawn between the horse and cow pens, this Resource centre has various resources and runs off of community donations, and is also open for the community to take whatever they want from it (as long as they are a citizen of Pilbara), the Centre was rebuilt and expanded during January 2025.

Additionally Onslow Bay has a free item dropper for food, diamonds, iron, lapis, and xp at its /t spawn and a free to use enchantment area for its residents.

'''Sean's farms'''

Sean loves building farms. There was an aboveground mob farm constructed by Sean, but it is terrible in appearance and was later removed by residents. Sean also made underground cactus farm, sugarcane machine, bamboo machine and clay room.

}}The '''Great Australian War''', also known as the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war, was a global conflict involving over 50 in-game nations, fought primarily in Australia and North America. On one side of the war was Australia, including a few of its allies. On the other was a coalition formed between NA, Pilbara and their constituent sub-nations. The coalition was heavily backed by the OFN which joined the war after invoking their mutual defence clause on the 13th of October, as Pilbara and NA were part of the military alliance.

= Background =

=== Lead-up ===
After the 3rd Pilbaro-Australian war in June 2024, relations began to improve between the two nations. Although a rivalry still clearly existed, this period was one of peace and development for the entire continent. On the 24th of July 2024, the nation of NA was created by Gautomy and joined Australia as a province. About a month later, NA declared independence and left Australia on good terms, signing a non-aggression pact on the 29th of August. However, relations between the two nations began to deteriorate immediately. In the opinion of Gautomy, this was because of Australia’s alleged aggressive behaviour towards NA. On the other hand, the Australians claimed that Gautomy was trying to frame Australia as aggressive in order to start conflict. In the month of September, NA and Pilbara strengthened ties and had improved relations. On the 17th, Pilbara created the town of “Pooperpeddy” next to the Australian Capital, CooberPedy. This was seen as an act of war by Australia, and led to a rapid increase in hostility between Pilbara and Australia. Already, those living on the continent feared imminent war.

=== The Adelaide Declaration ===
On the 1st of October, Australia created the town of Paradisi 5 chunks from Ayr, which was in NA at the time, previously in Australia. NA viewed this as a hostile act, while Australia insisted that the town had no aggressive purpose, and that creating towns was not against the NAP previously signed by the two nations. Australia then proceeded to buy Ayr and the Pilbaran town of Ponta_do_sol. Gautomy was angered at this, and also labelled the purchases as hostile. Australia once again pointed out that the treaty had not been broken, and contained nothing about buying towns. Furthermore, Gautomy accused Australia of breaking the treaty by trying to sway a mayor in NA to their side. Firehawk722, who was a mayor in Australia, messaged a mayor in NA, suggesting that he should defect. The Australian government, extremely frustrated at this point, said that Firehawk722 did not represent Australia and was merely a mayor who could not be controlled.

Tensions increased dramatically after it was revealed that Gautomy himself had messaged some Australian mayors to join NA, even bribing them to do so. As well as this, Gautomy was paying members of the OFN Alliance 10g for each Australian they killed. On the 4th, Pilbara and NA formed a coalition and sent a joint ultimatum to Australia, known as the Adelaide declaration, demanding that Australia return the purchased towns and apologise for aggressive behaviour, threatening to declare war after 48 hours. While Australia wanted to avoid war at all costs, the towns were believed to have been purchased rightfully, and the government thought that if they gave NA and Pilbara what they wanted, it could lead to more potential ultimatums or demands.

Australia thus ignored the ultimatum, and the NA-Pilbara Coalition (NPC) declared war on Australia on the 7th of October. In response, Australia released an official announcement claiming that the towns were rightfully purchased, and that it was Pilbara and NA who had acted hostile towards Australia in weeks preceding the declaration of war, with examples such as the creation of Pooperpeddy and Gautomy’s bribing of mayors.

War had finally begun.

For this, they had Onslow Bay resident Wolftree47 create the town, naming it initially to Sunshine_Coast, identical to the old town name, however then renaming to Freepanthr. Pilbara then gathered a bunch of TNT, where they used the TNT to demolish the infrastructure built up on the land. After this, statues were made of Panth_r, GabeTheSavior, Wolftree47, and kobiKraft.

In early December, after being kicked about 3 weeks prior for his gross and disgusting behavior, Wolftree's statue was demolished with TNT.

From here, Pilsy began to overclaim it, beginning small however picking up more aggressively later on to the point where they had taken more of a third of Bairnsdale within about 2 weeks. After overclaiming more chunks, Pilsy reached Bairnsdale's Castle, with Swetmc doing to blow it up with TNT with Knight's agreement to avenge CooperPedy of its explosion by Pilbara. For fear of a greater destruction, Pilbara responsed to this by sending of [[Aurora:SquishyTheFrog | SquishyTheFrog]] to overclaim into Bairnsdale as well with [[Aurora:Melbourne | Melbourne]].

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 125 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Непременно по-такова, опаковано готово

По-високо, по-нагоре, повече по-много

По-богато, по-голямо, по-добре, по-много.

Потанцувай си, почакай, наслади се на момента,

The following is the story of EMCplayer Kobikraft, mayor of Kraftier.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:kobiKraft}}
==Beginning of his story==

Kobikraft first became aware of the server in November 2019 and thought it would be enjoyable, but at the time, he did not know the server IP. Months later, in March, he logged in for the first time, spawning in central America. During his time in America, he opened his first gold crate and obtained 2 gold. He constructed a small house near Chicago and built a boat, then set sail for Europe, where he was subsequently killed.

A few days later, he logged in again. The queue was 150 players long, and after 4 hours, it was his turn. He opened a second gold crate and received 5 gold. He traveled to New Zealand in search of food but found none, then proceeded to Tasmania, where someone provided him with some food. Subsequently, he was invited to Newbelleville in Ancient Egypt, where he built a pleasant house and prepared for life. He remained in the town until May 6th. During those six weeks, he also acquired a god sword and god armor.

In late April, he engaged in a couple fights and was threatened by The_Imapler because, at that time, most of the world was at war with Ancient Egypt. He was also accused of being a scammer multiple times due to his attempt at selling 10 stacks of redstone for gold, but one individual asserted that 1 gold was worth 45 stacks of redstone. Kobikraft did not appreciate this and countered that the other person was the real scammer.

==Kraftier==

On May 3rd, Kobikraft messaged 57gorky, requesting assistance to fund his own town. At that time, after purchasing various items, he had 27 gold to his name and needed an additional 37 gold to establish his town. 57gorky informed him that once he reached 44 gold, he would provide an extra 20 gold. Following the proposal, Kobikraft worked effortfully to accumulate gold by selling various items such as redstone, sand, and iron, which he received from his daily gold crates. His desire to create his own town stemmed from the bullying he experienced for being a part of Ancient Egypt, which was widely regarded as the worst country on the server. He decided to leave on May 3rd.

On May 6th, Kobikraft logged in and informed 57gorky that he had reached 44 gold and was ready to establish his town. 57gorky instructed him to meet in Mersa, so, Kobikraft left Ancient Egypt and traveled to Mersa, where he received 20 gold and founded his new town, Kraftier. He then began constructing a farm and a house. On May 8th, Kobi welcomed his first resident, Todaystheday, who helped develop the town and farm. Over the next day, the town grew rapidly but was attacked on May 16th, during which one resident, Bmoboy, lost all his gold.

On May 18th, Minecookie200 and his friend joined Kraftier. They were the most active players in the town, with Minecookie becoming the town builder, responsible for constructing all houses since his arrival. They urged Kobi to go to war with them, and on May 20th, they attempted to destroy the Great Pyramids of Egypt. During this battle, Kobi lost his god armor. However, on May 21st, Kobi recovered his belongings and began selling his own book, "Cowfish Monster." During his adventures, he encountered a fork in the road, a taunter, Emperor 6k, who insulted his town. This conflict was temporarily resolved in the Maldives on May 22nd, when Kobikraft killed the Emperor during a hunt and subsequently moved to Nubia.

In the following week, Kobikraft struggled to attract new residents, but his town expanded by 10 chunks. He experienced good fortune with gold crates, and on May 25th, he opened his metro and shop, where he continues to sell various items such as plants, sand, emeralds, and glowstone. Thus far, he has earned 2 gold from these sales.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 125 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.
== Infrastructure ==
=== Architecture ===
Onslow Bay features fairly mixed architecture, with infrastructure ranging from small huts to modern skyscrapers. It houses a variety of recognisable structures which are essential to the town's architectural integrity, some examples are:

===Transportation===

'''Ice road'''

There are 3 ice way systems that go through onslow bay, being National Highway, Onslow Line and [[Aurora:Sean Underground-highway System|SUS]].

The SUS, or Sean system, currently has 6 stations in Onslow Bay. The station on the Green Line: Pilbakraft Hall, Bambüs, Onslow Bay center and Cactus; on the Red Line: Cactus, Onslow south; on the Light Blue Line: Cactus and Drzewszów. You would be able to transfer for the Blue Line at Pilbakraft Hall in the future, and the Light Blue Line will extend further east.

The National Highway has 2 stations in Onslow Bay, one which links to the Green Line at Pilbakraft hall, and another which links at Onslow Bay center via a secondary connection which works only 1 way (north to south).

=== Farms and resources ===
The town publically farms some trees (like dark oak, Acacia, birch, spruce, oak and cherry) in the southeast of the town spawn. There are also animals kept near the town spawn, such as cows, horses and llamas.

The town has an underground mob farm, maintained by JEP700, together with massive potato/carrot/beetrot/wheat farms also maintained underground in various parts of Onslow Bay, there also exists within these underground farms additional tree farms for oak, spruce, acacia and birch wood.

'''Public Resource and donation Centre'''

The town has a public Resource centre located to the north of the town spawn between the horse and cow pens, this Resource centre has various resources and runs off of community donations, and is also open for the community to take whatever they want from it (as long as they are a citizen of Pilbara), the Centre was rebuilt and expanded during January 2025.

Additionally Onslow Bay has a free item dropper for food, diamonds, iron, lapis, and xp at its /t spawn and a free to use enchantment area for its residents.

'''Sean's farms'''

Sean loves building farms. There was an aboveground mob farm constructed by Sean, but it is terrible in appearance and was later removed by residents. Sean also made underground cactus farm, sugarcane machine, bamboo machine and clay room.

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, following a drastic surge in expansion between December 2023 and the present.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 329, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 58 towns scattered throughout the Australian continent which make it the 2nd largest nation in the region behind Australia who founders of Pilbara betrayed for founded their own nation and 10th largest on the server (however it is known to alternate between the 8th and 11th largest).

Pilbara also consists of 4 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire), which makes it the 27th largest alliance to currently exist.

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], which was led by UnitiveBog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name.

= Pilbara and the Pilbaran Empire =
== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after betraying Australia and receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

During Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth - quickly acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]] 

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion elsewhere.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow - with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora.

=== Australian - Pilbaran War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
Despite Pilbara's growth, it soon faced a serious threat - The Australians, who on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to the aggressivity of Pilbara and its pretention to control all Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians, which eventually escalated into a declaration of war presented by the Pilbarans, thus instigating the Australian - Pilbaran war. (War declaration can be found on TBI).

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, Cooberpeddy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently.

The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being given to Owry and renamed to Gippsland.
=== Great Australian War ===
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. This war cost it the lost of one of its biggest towns, Onfast Bay and some of its catastrophic decisions. W.I.P

== Geography ==
=== Overview ===
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna]. In resume Pilbara is a nation in desert with some jungle and some plain, full of bloodthirsty monsters, above all in desert.

== Relations & Diplomacy ==

== Culture ==
=== Overview ===
Pilbaran culture is rather bizzare, characterized by a plethora of jokes and generally nonsensical things, particulary on the French people which they have great contempt for. Pilbara's largest religion (which is literally a cult of personality), Kobism is a defining characteristic of Pilbaran culture.

=== Kobism ===
[[File:Kobigod.png|Artistic interpretation of Kobi|thumb]]
[[Kobism|'''Kobism''']] is a cult of personality within '''Pilbara''' and the first [[KobistReligions|'''Kobist Religion''']]. The religion apparently doesn't possess any values and is apparently the result of a long running joke that began in 2020. The religion (or cult of personality) is often associated with memes and '''Pilbaran''' propaganda. Today it is featured within in-game map art depicting kobiKraft in a god-like manner.

=== Monarch Aliases ===
Another significant element to the culture is the alteration of the names belonging to Pilbaran monarchs, for instance, KobiKraft may sometimes be referred to as: KobeKraft, KoffeeKrab, Krabby Patty, Kobster, NoobiKraft as well as many more aliases.

=== Diversity ===
Pilbara is according to Pilbarans "incredibly" diverse, with its residents according to them originating from a "variety of places", almost only from Anglo-saxon world - making the Pilbaran community quite according to them interesting. The assortment of "distinct" views and behaviors (influenced by their propaganda) provide a variety of "exotic differences" to the culture.

=== The Environment's Impact ===
The location of Pilbara, characterized by its vast, red, mars-like expanses, has played a key role in shaping Pilbara's culture today. It is particularly observable within Pilbara's national anthem, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2WOGXVnHOA Crimson Skies].

== Government & Politics ==
=== Overview ===
The Pilbaran government is according to Pilbarans a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism unicameral] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister%20(government) ministerial] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional%20monarchy "parliamentary" monarchy], featuring a permanent leader/monarch (kobiKraft) and both elected ministers and appointed advisors who don't lead the nation unlike the king who is not elected by people.

== Infrastructure ==

=== Highway System ===
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Today, the legacy of SEAN lives on, with numerous memorials and dedications existing across the country.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of Transportation (MoTR) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara. The nation's spawn was recently changed, providing a larger space to fit more shops. *If you want a shop plot in Pilbara, msg kobiKraft in-game or /mail him.*

== The Military ==
=== Overview ===
The Pilbaran military contains anywhere between 11 to 16 people. The military features a distinct skillset, with some proficiently trained, some sufficiently trained and some sub-optimally trained. The military's leader is the Minister of Defence (MoD) who supplies the military with the necessary resources to fulfil its needs. This system allows Pilbara to have an effective military without relying on large amounts of backup.

[[Category:Pilbara]]

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, following a drastic surge in expansion between December 2023 and the present.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 329, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 58 towns scattered throughout the Australian continent which make it the 2nd largest nation in the region behind Australia who founders of Pilbara betrayed for founded their own nation and 10th largest on the server (however it is known to alternate between the 8th and 11th largest).

Pilbara also consists of 4 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire), which makes it the 27th largest alliance to currently exist.

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], which was led by UnitiveBog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name.
=Polemics=
==Christmas 2024==
Pilbara had verbally attack Australia by accusing them of liars and bastards after a Pilbaran ruined Christmas by killing an Australian the day of 25th December at morning around 8 o'clock (European time), which was contrary to the December 24-26 ceasefire between Pilbara and Australia which was justified by Pilbara with a holiday in Norfolk island in Oceania so with a time difference of 5 hours moreover so when this happened it must have been around 1pm in the Norfolk Islands which meant that Pilbara had insulted the members of Australia for no reason and prefered to do not assume it fault after people realized it lied and wrongly accused Australia.

==Fake control maps==
Many people have noticed that the Pilbara control maps, in addition to being very inaccurate, were literally falsify, such as the integration of certain non-Pilbaran cities into Pilbara for no reason, the inconsistent surface area of certain cities depending on whether they belong to Pilbara or not. People have noticed that certain cities larger than others could be represented smaller on their map compared to the latter in order to artificially increase the surface area of Pilbara and to promote themselves compared to other nations, for example the control map made in December represents the nation of Oceania with Sydney, a city of 25 chunks being extremely diminished in favor of a small neighboring Pilbaran city while Melton, a city of 20 chunks in the meganation of Oceania is 6 times bigger than Sydney on the map for no reason. Pilbara benefits also greatly from placing cities in areas with a very low concentration of cities in order to artificially increase its area and to claim an entire region that even does not belong to them and thus threatens the mayors who decided to found cities in these regions.

==Others==
some people from Pilbara, including some high-ranking officers, have expressed their hatred towards some of their former members by playing on RP and manipulation. They used arguments like high treason for having made a "/n leave" that some clearly associate with high treason IRL and clearly told them to go kill themselves in the Ukrainian army if they did not agree with them. They use the argument of high treason to commit questionable actions like the recurring provocation of these people, giving them hypocritical moral lessons in order to pass themselves off as benefactors and then throwing everything in the trash when it suits them like for example saying that it is wrong not to respect the rules of the server, and that they still had to not respect them for example with the voluntary and complete blocking of claims from enemy cities, which is literally outside the rules in addition to having divided allied cities in 2 in order to achieve this objective. They regularly come to mock these people in groups and insult them to their faces, even occasionally using racist stereotypes in order to reinforce their psychological attack. They also use victimization as a manipulation technique to justify their actions and to manipulate in order to generate a strong contempt for their enemies, they also use it as a way to always blame others and never themselves.

= Pilbara and the Pilbaran Empire =
== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after betraying Australia and receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

During Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth - quickly acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

[[File:Firstpilbaranclaimmap2.png|frame|left|First official claims of Pilbara (c. 11/11/2023)]] 

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.
[[File:Kobikraftattackaustraliapilbaranwar.jpg|frame|right|Screenshot of [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] ambushing Australians during a tree-related skirmish in [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] (c. 23/11/2023)]]

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CsPqwyVpEoknIN6kup6ifIaT0Nj04lvn_LS-L4kxiQ/edit?usp=sharing treaty and border agreement] - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion elsewhere.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow - with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora.

=== Australian - Pilbaran War ===
[[File:Australiaduringthepilbaranwar.jpg|frame|left|Australia on the day of the war declaration (c. 23/3/2024)]]
Despite Pilbara's growth, it soon faced a serious threat - The Australians, who on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server due to the aggressivity of Pilbara and its pretention to control all Australia. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians, which eventually escalated into a declaration of war presented by the Pilbarans, thus instigating the Australian - Pilbaran war. (War declaration can be found on TBI).

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, Cooberpeddy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently. 

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was then renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire was formerly a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire, meaning that any nations joining the empire would join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Purchase Attempt ===
[[File:Panthrannouncesnorthkorea.png|frame|right|North Korea /n (c. 28/4/2023)]]
On the 28th of April 2024, Panth_r purchased the nation of North_Korea from Sculkin_ for 200G, because he thought it was funny. The nation swiftly joined Pilbara as a colony, with GabeTheSavior becoming Supreme Leader of North Korea. However, this led to tensions with [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]], who claimed North_Korea as their own, and swiftly declared in game war on Pilbara. Following this, Panth_r decided to remove North_Korea as a colony of Pilbara, however it remained under the rule of GabeTheSavior until he too decided to leave the nation, to retake the town of Canberra in Pilbara.

=== Pilbara's admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

=== Adelin Controversy===
Adelin_10 was an early member of Pilbara who always had ambitions to create his own nation. This was accomplished through the Pilbaran Empire on the 24th of April 2024, when Adelin purchased the nation of Chatham_Islands, and designated his town of Onfast_Bay as the capital city, thereby founding the Pilbaran Territory of Auralia. However, things would become controversial when Adelin would be consistently ridiculed by the community for months, further perpetuated by his sometimes extreme retaliations, which often led to arguments in-game and on Discord. All of these internal issues culminated in his decision to declare full independence from Pilbara on the 24th of July 2024.
Following Auralia's declaration of independence, it swiftly joined the North Sea Republic as a colony and merged with the nearby nation of Lefroy, whom Pilbara had previously signed a treaty with. However, Auralia's position in the NSR was only brief, as they left on the 5th of August 2024 to create their own Meganation. Auralia would then be 2.1'd much to Adelin's dismay, and would be forced to rename to Esperance. The small scale conflict between Pilbara and Esperance would eventually end on the 23rd of August 2024, when Esperance was purchased back by Pilbara, with Adelin leaving the Australian continent permanently and the nation of Esperance being given to Owry and renamed to Gippsland.
=== Great Australian War ===
Pilbara declared the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war following an ultimatum brought forward by Pilbara and an ally, NA, against Australia, due to the acquisition of towns from either nation. This war cost it the lost of one of its biggest towns, Onfast Bay and some of its catastrophic decisions. W.I.P

== Geography ==
=== Overview ===
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna]. In resume Pilbara is a nation in desert with some jungle and some plain, full of bloodthirsty monsters, above all in desert.

== Relations & Diplomacy ==
=== Allies ===
- [[Tavastia]]: On the 16th of November 2023, Pilbara signed an alliance with the nation of Tavastia, which was at the time led by [[Salbru]].

== Culture ==
=== Overview ===
Pilbaran culture is rather bizzare, characterized by a plethora of jokes and generally nonsensical things, particulary on the French people which they have great contempt for. Pilbara's largest religion (which is literally a cult of personality), Kobism is a defining characteristic of Pilbaran culture.

=== Kobism ===
[[File:Kobigod.png|Artistic interpretation of Kobi|thumb]]
[[Kobism|'''Kobism''']] is a cult of personality within '''Pilbara''' and the first [[KobistReligions|'''Kobist Religion''']]. The religion apparently doesn't possess any values and is apparently the result of a long running joke that began in 2020. The religion (or cult of personality) is often associated with memes and '''Pilbaran''' propaganda. Today it is featured within in-game map art depicting kobiKraft in a god-like manner.

=== Monarch Aliases ===
Another significant element to the culture is the alteration of the names belonging to Pilbaran monarchs, for instance, KobiKraft may sometimes be referred to as: KobeKraft, KoffeeKrab, Krabby Patty, Kobster, NoobiKraft as well as many more aliases.

=== Diversity ===
Pilbara is according to Pilbarans "incredibly" diverse, with its residents according to them originating from a "variety of places", almost only from Anglo-saxon world - making the Pilbaran community quite according to them interesting. The assortment of "distinct" views and behaviors (influenced by their propaganda) provide a variety of "exotic differences" to the culture.

=== The Environment's Impact ===
The location of Pilbara, characterized by its vast, red, mars-like expanses, has played a key role in shaping Pilbara's culture today. It is particularly observable within Pilbara's national anthem, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2WOGXVnHOA Crimson Skies].

== Government & Politics ==

== Infrastructure ==

=== Highway System ===
Pilbaran Ice-Highway infrastructure consists of five primary branches: the national highway, SEAN, PilbaraConnex, United Oceanic, and the Onslow line.

These branches are extensive and continue to grow.

'''The National Highway''': The National Highway was the initial system, which enabled transportation and movement around [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]]/Western Australia. Under the coordination of UnitiveBog, the system was expanded eastward towards Oceania, where it ends at [[Melbourne(Aurora)|Melbourne]]. Today, the National Highway system has become back-bone of transportation within the nation, with it's primary purpose of linking all towns with Onslow Bay.

'''SEAN''': Named after its founder, SEANISVERYGOOD, this system connects Onslow Bay to the PEEL Region via the coast of Western Australia. A transcontinental branch also exists, linking [[Aurora:Adelaide|Adelaide]] to [[Aurora:Rockhampton|Rockhampton]]. The full vision of this system was never realized, with SEAN quitting EMC due to frustration from being hunted. Today, the legacy of SEAN lives on, with numerous memorials and dedications existing across the country.

'''PilbaraConnex''': This system aims to provide international connections to Pilbara and the Continent. Initiated by pritchy009, the first stage (which opened July 2024) links the ACT with Antarctica, via an 8000 block long tunnel. The second stage to [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]] opened a month later, which branched off stage 1 to Port Jason. The third stage, which opened in October 2024, connects Onslow Bay with The Pilbaran Indies/[[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]]. Stage 3 also links to the [[Transnational Ice Highway]] Network, enabling travel to Asia/The Middle East.

'''United Oceanic''': Built by BuskerGamer, this systems aims to provide a unified ice highway for all nations on the continent. Starting in Kalgoorlie, the system spans east to west via Galactrice, before heading north to Rockhampton.

'''Onslow Line''': A local system that encircles Onslow Bay, primarily built by KobiKraft.

The Ministry of Transportation (MoTR) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara. The nation's spawn was recently changed, providing a larger space to fit more shops. *If you want a shop plot in Pilbara, msg kobiKraft in-game or /mail him.*

== The Military ==
=== Overview ===
The Pilbaran military contains anywhere between 11 to 16 people. The military features a distinct skillset, with some proficiently trained, some sufficiently trained and some sub-optimally trained. The military's leader is the Minister of Defence (MoD) who supplies the military with the necessary resources to fulfil its needs. This system allows Pilbara to have an effective military without relying on large amounts of backup.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 125 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

[[Category:Pilbara]]

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 117 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.
== Infrastructure ==
=== Architecture ===
Onslow Bay features fairly mixed architecture, with infrastructure ranging from small huts to modern skyscrapers. It houses a variety of recognisable structures which are essential to the town's architectural integrity, some examples are:

The town has an underground mob farm, maintained by JEP700, together with massive potato/carrot/beetrot/wheat farms also maintained underground in various parts of Onslow Bay, there also exists within these underground farms additional tree farms for oak, spruce, acacia and birch wood.

'''Public Resource and donation Centre'''

The town has a public Resource centre located to the north of the town spawn between the horse and cow pens, this Resource centre has various resources and runs off of community donations, and is also open for the community to take whatever they want from it (as long as they are a citizen of Pilbara), the Centre was rebuilt and expanded during January 2025.

Additionally Onslow Bay has a free item dropper for food, diamonds, iron, lapis, and xp at its /t spawn and a free to use enchantment area for its residents.

'''Sean's farms'''

Sean loves building farms. There was an aboveground mob farm constructed by Sean, but it is terrible in appearance and was later removed by residents. Sean also made underground cactus farm, sugarcane machine, bamboo machine and clay room.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the sixth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 117 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] on the 10th of March 2023.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.
In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the fifth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 112 and a size of 900 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] in mid-March of that year.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

===Transportation===

'''Ice road'''

There are 3 ice way systems that go through onslow bay, being National Highway, Onslow Line and [[Aurora:Sean Underground-highway System|SUS]].

The SUS, or Sean system, currently has 6 stations in Onslow Bay. The station on the Green Line: Pilbakraft Hall, Bambüs, Onslow Bay center and Cactus; on the Red Line: Cactus, Onslow south; on the Light Blue Line: Cactus and Drzewszów. You would be able to transfer for the Blue Line at Pilbakraft Hall in the future, and the Light Blue Line will extend further east.

The National Highway has 2 stations in Onslow Bay, one which links to the Green Line at Pilbakraft hall, and another which links at Onslow Bay center via a secondary connection which works only 1 way (north to south).

=== Farms and resources ===
The town publically farms some trees (like dark oak, Acacia, birch, spruce, oak and cherry) in the southeast of the town spawn. There are also animals kept near the town spawn, such as cows, horses and llamas.

The town has an underground mob farm, maintained by JEP700, together with massive potato/carrot/beetrot/wheat farms also maintained underground in various parts of Onslow Bay, there also exists within these underground farms additional tree farms for oak, spruce, acacia and birch wood.

'''Public Resource and donation Centre'''

The town has a public Resource centre located to the north of the town spawn between the horse and cow pens, this Resource centre has various resources and runs off of community donations, and is also open for the community to take whatever they want from it (as long as they are a citizen of Pilbara), the Centre was rebuilt and expanded during January 2025.

Additionally Onslow Bay has a free item dropper for food, diamonds, iron, lapis, and xp at its /t spawn and a free to use enchantment area for its residents.

'''Sean's farms'''

Sean loves building farms. There was an aboveground mob farm constructed by Sean, but it is terrible in appearance and was later removed by residents. Sean also made underground cactus farm, sugarcane machine, bamboo machine and clay room.

Lyrics:

Тръгвам на там където

Няма път или пътека

Бяга светът но ние

Ще е караме полека

Сядаме пред вълните

И на пясъка с китара

Барът е до морето

И морето е до бара

§§§

Времето лети все по-далеко,

Ние го следим, но по-полека

Чорлави глави, като пирати

'''Пеем''' и чакаме зората...

Времето лети все по-далеко,

Ние го следим, но по-полека

Огънят гори, луната мига

И за сега това ни стига.

§§§

Утрото без аларма

Е като небе без облак

Някой е спрял Земята,

А бедрата ти са топли.

Гледаме към вълните

И на пясъка с китара

Барът е до морето

И морето е до бара

§

По-високо, по-нагоре, повече по-много

По-богато, по-голямо, по-добре, по-много.

По-велико, по-красиво, малко по-такова,

По-дебело, по-широко, опаковано готово.

По-любимо, по-активно, по-необходимо,

По-напред, по-набързо, по-веднага, по-живо

По-велико, по-красиво, по-чисто ново,

Непременно по-такова, опаковано готово

По-високо, по-нагоре, повече по-много

По-богато, по-голямо, по-добре, по-много.

Поогледай се, послушай, поразпитай помълчи

Потанцувай си, почакай, наслади се на момента,

Забави, Забави...

По-полека,

Забави, забави... (×3)

§ (×4)

Чорлави глави, като пирати

''' Пием ''' и чакаме зората...

Времето лети все по-далеко,

Ние го следим, но по-полека

Огънят гори, луната мига

И за сега това ни стига.

[[Category:Towns (Aurora)]]

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the fifth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 134 and a size of 550 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] in mid-March of that year.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow Bay were not without conflict, with the first transpiring on the 11th of April, 2023, when former resident Mr_mysterious76 established a town abutting the borders of Onslow Bay, named Cotreta. This sparked a conflict due to it's interference with kobiKraft's plans to expand. Consequently, they struck a deal following a short period of arguments with the mayor, leading to the eventual demise of Cotreta. However, that was not all which the week featured for the young town.

On April 12th 2023, another town was formed nearby, named Neu Bochum, which was lead by player Naskheera. The residents of Naskheera, particularly one individual, BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow Bay and littering the greater region with inappropriate symbols. Initially, the server moderators rolled back the grief and warned them, which accomplished little as the perpetrators persisted, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project. Eventually, an attack was launched on the town, with Onslow Bay emerging victorious, even displaying the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh following the attack. The victory did come at a cost, however, with Wolftree47 quitting for the year. However, his railway project continued to be griefed even despite his inactivity, with mods refusing to roll back the damages. In the end, the players were eventually banned and Neu Bochum fell into ruin the following month, May.

On April 29th of the same year, a group of townhoppers joined Onslow Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was granting a plot, which began a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
Amid the times of the aforementioned conflicts, Onslow Bay grew at a relatively decent pace, growing to 20 residents, and subsequently by mid-May, the town grew to 30 residents. However, the server began to kick those who were inactive, particularly those who hadn't played in 42 days by this time, leading to the stagnation of the town's growth. Despite a decline in residential growth, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023.

Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, constructing a valley in what later became the river south of the town's spawn, serving as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation. This was the only event of long-term significance around this time.

On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft became unable to log on, due to a hardware issue regarding his PC, which caused both recruitment and chunk growth to reach a complete halt. The town consequently suffered from slow decline over the following month. However, the town did join the nation of [[Aurora:Australia|Australia]] on the 25th of June 2023, regardless of the decline.

=== Australian Era ===
Following Onslow Bay's integration into Australia, the town began expanding and recruiting once again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft receiving a new computer, enabling him to log on again.

In early July, the town recovered from it's decline, reaching 30 residents again, and by the middle of the month, Onslow Bay opened it's resource donation centre, which almost immediately earned the town 128 gold. Following alongside the recovery, on July 21st the town reached 150 chunks.

In spite of the town's recovery, On July 22nd 2023, an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow Bay and promptly outlawed a few of its residents, resulting in Onslow Bay declaring him an outlaw, hence provoking a small conflict and argument, which continued with no resolution, simply being disregarded overtime.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow Bay reached 200 chunks, receiving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks. Representative of the town's financial success, it claimed an old ruin, which in April and May of 2024 was transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.

The town ended the month on a rather low note, due to it only periodically reaching 38 residents, before decreasing to just 22. This lead to yet another period of decline in expansion, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

In the following month of September, not much occurred, with the month seeing a brief recovery by reaching 35 residents and 248 chunks on the 30th.

The town later reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, marking the end of the second period of residential decline.

On October 5th 2023, growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On October 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to yet another surge in inactivity, reaching a peak of 65 residents in late October, before declining to 62 residents. The town subsequently left Australia to establish it's own nation.

Onslow Bay features fairly mixed architecture, with infrastructure ranging from small huts to modern skyscrapers. It houses a variety of recognisable structures which are essential to the town's architectural integrity, some examples are:

Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation ([[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]), and the fifth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 119 and a size of 521 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.

The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to [[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]] in mid-March of that year.
[[File:OnslowBayMapView.png|500x500px|thumb|center|Surface Map view of Onslow Bay]]

== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.

In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.

=== First Residents ===
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.

The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.

=== Early Conflicts ===
The early days of Onslow_Bay were not without there conflicts however, with the first being on the 11th of April 2023, When former resident mr_mysterious76 formed a town on the towns borders, named Cotreta, this sparked a conflict as it interfered with kobiKraft's expansion plans, as such they made a deal after a short period of arguements with the mayor, and after not long, the town was gone, but that was not all that week featured for the young town.
On april 12th 2023, a town was formed near by, named Neu_Bochum, lead by a player named Naskheera, the residents of this town, particularly one individual named BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow_Bay and placing swastikas all around it, initially mods rollbacked the grief and warned them, but they kept coming back, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project, which was paused due to these events, eventually an attack was launched on the town, with the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh on display at the town spawn. this victory did come at the cost of Wolftree47 quitting for the rest of the year however, as his project got griefed and mods refused to rollback the railway, however in the end the players did get banned and the town died during may to inactivity.
On april 29th a group of townhoppers joined Onslow_Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was giving a plot, this started a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.

=== Growth slows ===
During the times of those conflicts, Onslow_Bay grew to 20 residents, and by mid May grew to 30 residents, however inactivity begain to kick those who hadnt played in 42 days by this time, and the growth stagnated, but while resident growth slowed, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023
Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, and built a valley in what became the river south of the towns spawn, as well as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation, however this was the only event of long term significance around this time.
On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft's computer broke, causing recruiting to stall entirely, as well as land claiming, and the town sufferred from slow decline over the following month, during this time of inactivity the town did join the nation of Australia though on the 25th of June 2023.

On August 7th 2023, Onslow_Bay reached 200 chunks, recieving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks, it claimed an old ruin on this day, which in april and may 2024 were transformed into Pilbara's current spawn.
The town ended the month on a bit of a low however, after briefly reaching 38 residents, the town was down to a low count of just 22 residents and expansion slowed, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents.

[[Category:Nations (Aurora)]]

'''Pilbara''' is the overarching constituent nation of the '''Pilbaran Empire''', spanning across several regions within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%20(continent) Australia]. It has however, since its foundation, expanded to most of the north, west, east, and south coasts, following a drastic surge in expansion between December 2023 and the present.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 261, Pilbara is one of the more populous political presences within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Ocean Pacific]. It boasts 34 towns scattered throughout the Australian continent which make it the largest nation in the region and 10th largest on the server (however it is known to alternate between the 8th and 11th largest).

Pilbara also consists of 5 nations within its [[Meganation|sub-meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire), which makes it the 27th largest alliance to currently exist.

[[Kobikraft|kobiKraft]], the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from [[Aurora:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]], which was led by UnitiveBog10934 at the time. Its name was derived from the geographic region with the same name.

= Pilbara and the Pilbaran Empire =
== History ==

=== Foundation ===
Pilbara was established on the 10th of November in 2023 after receiving funding from Oklahoma. At the time of its creation, it joined [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] under the Titicaca, which was controlled partially by Vantacrus. Pilbara remained a member of Brazil for 4 months until it was ousted for acting as a sovereign nation on the 25th of March 2024. Following its expulsion, Pilbara joined the Seljuk Empire on April 4th 2024.

During Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth - quickly acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.

=== Growth & Tensions ===
Growth continued for approximately a week until tensions on the continent emerged, as a result of [[Aurora:Australia|The Australian Empire]]'s declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.

During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. The expansion south sparked controversy, however, an agreement was made just a month later.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia ultimately signed both a treaty and border agreement - locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
Subsequently, Pilbara experienced a sudden surge in growth once again. Unable to provide sufficient space for its new settlements within its border, Pilbara withdrew from the treaty and border agreement, beginning expansion elsewhere.

Following the termination of the two agreements, relations between Pilbara and Australia declined promptly, leading Australia to plant a town within Pilbaran territory. In response, Pilbara planted 2 of its own towns within Australia's major cities, which would go on to overclaim them.
As time progressed, Pilbara continued to grow - with [[Aurora:Onslow Bay|Onslow Bay]] reaching a staggering 100 residents on the 13th of March 2024. It later reached 118 residents on the 18th of May 2024, which made it the largest town within Aurora.

=== Australian - Pilbaran War ===
Despite Pilbara's growth, it soon faced a serious threat - The Australians, who on the 23rd of March 2024, had begun posting a series of anti-Pilbaran announcements within their Discord server. In response, Pilbara posted a similar announcement denouncing the Australians, leading to a declaration of war by the Pilbarans, thus instigating the Australian - Pilbaran war. (War declaration can be found on TBI).

Just a day later on the 24th of March 2024, Australia responded by establishing an invasion-oriented town adjacent to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in the loss of central-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceanic] Australian territory. Following Australia's actions, on the 29th of March, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to prevent a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together - resulting in a 100 nation bonus.

With the unification of Oceania and Pilbara, the nation reached a whopping 200 residents, cementing itself as one of the largest nations to exist on the server.

On the 15th of April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaimed the towns of Freddo, Cooberpeddy and JavaScript, resulting in the territorial losses of approximately 5 to 20 chunks for each town.

Ultimately, on the 26th of April 2024, after some discussion, Pilbara and Australia signed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit the treaty of Albury], ending the war permanently.

=== Pilbaran Empire Foundation ===
The Pilbaran Empire was established on the 23rd of April 2024 after one of Pilbara's towns obtained a nation. At the time, the acquired nation was named "Chatham Islands" but was recently renamed to Auralia. The nation of Auralia was incorporated into the territory of Pilbara, meaning that Auralians would share the same values and rights as any other Pilbaran resident would.

The Pilbaran Empire is currently a sub-meganation of the Seljuk Empire. Meaning that any nations that join the empire join the Seljuks as well.

=== The Korea Conflict ===
More recently, Pilbara attempted to expand its territory, particularly within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia Asia], via a purchase of North Korea, which was (and still is) under the possession of [[Aurora:Korea|Korea]]. However, the attempt was quickly rescinded and the territory was sold back to the Koreans due to the rising possibility of it escalating into a conflict.
In the end, the potential conflict was narrowly avoided thanks to quick thinking from those affiliated such as Panth_r.

=== Pilbaras admission to the OFN ===
Beginning on the 5th of May, 2024, 2 government votes had appeared in the voting acts channel on the Pilbaran Discord server. The first vote questioned whether Pilbara should join the ESO (Eastern Security Organisation). The vote ended with 6 people for and 2 against the proposal. Despite the majority being in favor of the decision, the vote was later vetoed by the king. The second vote that appeared, however, was oriented around membership under the OFN (Organization of Free Nations). The vote, identical to the aforementioned, ended with 6 in favor of membership, and 2 against. The vote neared another veto due to both the king and a minister disapproving of the decision under skepticism. However, after later discussion with the secretary general of the OFN, Dracnoian, the king of Pilbara, kobiKraft, later agreed to join the alliance. The following vote ended unanimously with 8 in favor of the decision. And so, after the OFN held their own votes in regards to Pilbara's membership, on the 10th of May, 2024, Pilbara was admitted into the alliance.

== Geography ==
=== Overview ===
Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome biomes], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora flora], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna fauna].

=== Appointees ===
In addition to those elected, appointees also operate within the government, with most usually assuming sub-ministry positions. They may be categorized into two groups; re-appointed ministers or sub-ministers. Alternatively, they may also be sorted by those that are appointed on account of policy and those that are simply appointed by an official.

==== Sub-Ministers ====
Sub-Ministers are drawn by ministers and cater to more specific responsibilities.

== Infrastructure ==

=== Highway System ===
The Pilbaran highway is extensive and continues to grow. Currently, it links all towns on the northern and southern coast (Including Auralia). The highway is currently in the process of expanding eastward, particularly towards Eastern Pilbara.
The highway is coupled with Australia's extensive highway network and an alleged international highway, currently under heavy construction.

The Ministry of Transportation (MoTR) is responsible for the construction of the national networks and the upkeep of them.

=== The Shop ===
The nation's official shop (situated near Pilbara's spawn) is owned and led by numerous different people within the nation. The shop provides Pilbaran residents an opportunity to succeed in becoming rich. Foreigners may also obtain a shop plot within Pilbara. The nation's spawn was recently changed, providing a larger space to fit more shops. *If you want a shop plot in Pilbara, msg kobiKraft in-game or /mail him.*

== The Military ==
=== Overview ===
The Pilbaran military contains anywhere between 11 to 16 people. The military features a rather distinct skillset, with some proficiently trained, some sufficiently trained and some sub-optimally trained. The military's leader is the Minister of Defence (MoD) who supplies the military with the necessary resources to fulfil its needs. This system allows Pilbara to have an effective military without relying on large amounts of backup.
