'''Panth_r''' was a former EMC player, former '''Prime Minister''' of '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''', King of '''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''', Military General of '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''', and current Chief Justice of '''[[Pilbara]]'''.

=History=

=='''Terra Nova'''==

'''Panth_r''' joined '''Terra Nova''' for the first time on September 21st 2021 after watching Toycat's EarthMC video and being fascinated by the concept of the server. Quickly after spawning in '''[[Mongolia]]''', '''Panth_r''' would join the '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australian]]''' town of '''[[Newcastle]]''', led by '''Valkiee'''.

After only a few weeks of playing EarthMC, '''Panth_r''' purchased the town of Darwin, where he would stay until the town 42'd following Nova's closure.

'''Panth_r''' contributed to several conflicts in '''Terra Nova''', most importantly the '''[[Oniyama Conflict]]''', in which he directly fought along other '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australians]]''' such as '''[[Jacjacheed]]''', '''[[thebandit08]]''' and others in battle against the Japanese led by '''[[Oniyao]]'''. He also participated less directly in the '''[[New Holland]]''' and '''[[Down Under]]''' Rebellions.

=='''Terra Aurora'''==

'''Panth_r''' would not intitially play very much of '''EarthMC''' after the release of '''Terra Aurora''', remaining mostly inactive as a resident of the town of '''[[Canberra]]''' for almost a year. While there were several other smaller towns such as '''Darwin''' which he created, he lost interest in most, deleting them within a few weeks of creation. He temporarily served as '''Australian PM''' during mid 2023, but stepped down from the role after around 2 weeks, giving it to 323Two.

In around September 2023, '''Panth_r''' would begin playing EMC actively again. He created the town of '''Albury''' in Southeastern '''New South Wales''', and also joined '''thebandit08''' in his campaign to become Australian Prime Minister, becoming his Deputy PM after the election. He would spend the next few weeks working on his town, building several skyscrapers and other buildings. However, on the 8th of December 2023, '''GabeTheSavior''', King of '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''' as well as '''thebandit08''', Prime Minister of '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''' were both '''doxxed''', and temporarily quit EMC, while abdicating from both of their positions, leaving them to '''Gaggy_''' and '''Panth_r''' respectively, with '''Panth_r''' taking temporary control of the '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australian]]''' capital '''[[CooberPedy]]''', returning it to '''SCOBlade''' shortly after.

Shortly after the doxxing, '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''' would make peace with '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''', whom they had been fighting for 2 months, signing a peace treaty granting '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' full independence, the first nation on the continent in almost a year to be fully independent of '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''' and '''[[Victoria]]'''. However, due to '''Panth_r''''s major involvement in signing the treaty, which was very unpopular with Australians, he was voted out of office in the January 2024 Elections.

'''The Oceania Era'''

During the Jan 2024 Election Period, '''Panth_r''', '''thebandit08''' and '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''' had been conspiring to return to EMC, and create their own nation within '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''', which was done on the 12th of January 2024, as '''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''' was transferred to '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''' by '''323Two''', who swiftly moved the capital to '''Canberra''', and declared independence from '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]'''.

During the same day as this, '''Panth_r''' and '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''' conspired to rob '''CooberPedy''' of all its valuables and Gold, and before their permissions were removed, the entire head collection of '''[[SCOBlade]]''' and '''[[GabeTheSavior|Gabe]]''', as well as 4000 Gold were removed from '''CooberPedy'''. These two events marked the beginning of the '''[[Oceania-Australia War]]'''.

'''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''' was founded as a Republic with 3 Chancellors at its head, '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''', '''Panth_r''' and '''[[TheBandit08]]'''. During the early stages of Oceania, many noteable players would join, such as '''[[Sneakyavi]]''', '''[[LCGau]]''', '''[[Toastedbread812]]''', '''[[Oliryan]]''' as well as several others.

'''Panth_r''' acquired the town of '''[[Goulbourn]]''' from '''[[Crocheting]]''', which was soon renamed to '''[[Albury]]'''. In the next few months following '''Panth_r''' acquiring the town, it became the largest town on the East Coast by residents, having 49 at its peak. During the '''[[Oceania-Australia War]]''', '''Panth_r''' was apart of several battles and skirmishes, such as the '''[[Siege of Simpson]]''', '''[[Battle of Booderee]]''' and others, as well as hunting several residents of '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]'''.

'''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''' would come to an end on March 29th 2024, when '''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''' would merge into its close ally Pilbara following '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''' quitting, and '''[[thebandit08]]''' leaving the nation. The nation of '''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''' would be given back to '''thebandit08''', and is now based in '''[[Sydney]]'''.

=='''The Pilbara Era'''==

After joining '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''', '''Panth_r''' and several other of '''[[Aurora:Oceania|Oceania]]''''s highest ranking officials would be granted advisory positions in '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''''s Government until the next election due to the terms of the Union. '''Panth_r''' would run in the next election for the position of Minister of Defence, but would lose to '''GalaxyGaming2000''', becoming a Military General for the remainder of the war. During this period, '''Panth_r''' contributed to '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' in several ways, writing the Constitution of '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''', securing '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''''s position in the Organization of Free Nations, and securing positive relations with neighbouring nations such as '''[[Havaiki]]'''.

The '''[[2nd Australian-Pilbaran War]]''' came to an end on April 25th 2024, when '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' and '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''' signed the '''[[Treaty of Albury]]'''. Following this, [[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' would not fight any major conflicts on the Australian Continent, however, '''Panth_r''' would direct Pilbara into a few minor conflicts.

=='''Zealandia Conflict'''==

Following '''[[Zealandia]]''''s declaration of war against '''[[Havaiki]]''', '''Panth_r''' would declare '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbaran]]''' support''' for '''[[Havaiki]]''' against '''[[Zealandia]]''' due to their close ties forged as apart of the '''[[Organization of Free Nations|OFN]]''' together. Following '''[[Zealandia]]''' also declaring war on '''[[Aurora:Australia|Australia]]''', '''Panth_r''' would officially introduce the "'''[[War on Zealandia]]'''" bill, which unanimously passed the '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbaran]]''' Parliament, and led to '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' declaring war on '''[[Zealandia]]'''.

=='''Korean Conflict'''==

'''Panth_r''' had purchased the nation of '''[[North_Korea]]''' from '''[[Sculkin]]''' for 200G as a joke, and had transferred its control to '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''', who became the temporary "Supreme Leader" of the '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbaran]]''' colony of '''[[North Korea]]'''. However, the Kingdom of Korea swiftly gave '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' an ultimatum, to grant control of '''[[North_Korea]]''' to them or face war. After tense negociations, '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' released '''[[North Korea]]''' as an independent nation, which calmed tensions, however, '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbara]]''' remained an enemy of '''[[Korea]]'''.

=='''Texas Conflict'''==

After the outbreak of war between '''[[Texas]]''' and the OFN, '''Panth_r''- worked to support the '''[[Organization of Free Nations|OFN]]''' by planting towns near the '''[[Texas|Texan]]''' capital of Houston, founding the towns of '''[[Weezer]]''' and '''[[Weezer2]]'''. Both towns would eventually join '''[[Cascadia]]'''. As well as this, '''Panth_r''' supplied '''[[Cascadia]]''' and '''[[Vermont]]''' with gear in order to support their war.

=='''Ban'''==

On the 11th of July 2024, '''Panth_r''' was permanently banned from EarthMC due to X-Raying, which was leaked due to him posting a screenshot to the public TBI server displaying his use of X-Ray, which was swiftly seen by moderators, and led to his ban. Before he was banned, his town and all of his valuables were given to '''[[GabeTheSavior]]''', who now controls '''[[Albury]]'''.

A service was held a few weeks later for '''Panth_r''', with around 20 players attending to pay their respects, including friends, foreigners and former enemies.

=='''Post Ban'''==

'''Panth_r''' stayed around following his ban, still partaking in '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbaran]]''' Politics, helping the campaign of the '''Pilbaran Unionist Party''', however they ultimately lost the election. '''Panth_r''' also founded the Electoral Scrutiny Commission, which is now in charge of running '''[[Aurora:Pilbara|Pilbaran]]''' Elections.

=='''Unban'''==
Panth_r was unbanned on the 24th of June 2025, and swiftly after formed the Pilbaran Labour Party or PLP, which would go on to win the August/September elections.

== Time in Australia and Pilbara ==
=== Early Days on Aurora and on the Australian continent ===
ItzRtqx originally joined the Aurora server in late 2023, gathering enough gold from vote crates and underground to form his own town, Balladonia, in Central WA. He joined the nation of Australia and built up Balladonia, building a replica of Los Pollos Hermanos, the chicken restaurant owned by drug kingpin Gustavo Fring in the HBO Max series ''Breaking Bad'', as well as a town spawn building. Eventually, Perth, which had until then been a trap town, collapsed, and the area of the IRL Perth Metropolitan Area was left unclaimed. ItzRtqx took action, immediately selling Balladonia for 300 gold and setting up Mandurah. Mandurah originally joined Australia and was bordered by Rottnest to the west, however upon becoming dissatisfied with Australia, Mandurah seceded and joined the new nation of the Pilbaran Empire, which stood as the key anti-Australian power on the continent. Over time, Mandurah grew, and ItzRtqx built a massive highway, the Great Eastern Highway, which had began construction while he was still in Balladonia, and now the highway stretches past the former Victorian town of Galatrice. RosemaryMan, a new player, created the town of Mundaring and joined Pilbara. Although initially hesitant, the shared borders and nationhood between Mundaring and Mandurah developed a friendship between ItzRtqx and RosemaryMan. ItzRtqx also began to construct a highway to link from Mandurah to Onslow Bay, the Pilbaran capital. He then became interested in the politics of the nation, and joined the GPDP in an attempt to run for the seat of Southern Pilbara, which is the electorate Mandurah and Mundaring are in. He won the seat uncontested. Pritchy009 won the role of Minister of Transport, and after seeing ItzRtqx's feats across the continent, appointed him advisor. At the following election, Pritchy009's newly formed United Pilbara Party (UPP) ran for government successfully, with Pritch becoming Prime Minister. ItzRtqx ran for Minister of Transport, knowing that if Pritch won Prime Minister he could not be Minister of Transport, however he lost to former GPDP ally Wolftree, who was later exposed and booted from the nation for inappropriate comments. RosemaryMan, a friend of ItzRtqx, won Minister of Internal Affairs and Expansion however, and appointed his friend as advisor. At the outbreak of the Fourth Australian-Pilbaran War in early October, ItzRtqx took a leading role, suspending construction of the Mandurah-Onslow Highway and shutting the great eastern highway by walling off Mandurah and Mundaring from the outside. He also appeared at battles in New_Brisbane and north of his town in Lemburg. He funded his alt's town of Tarcoola, which sits south of Coober Pedy and serves as a base of attack on the Australian capital. His alt was later banned, although Itz falsely claims it was his brother, although it can be confirmed to be his alt.

=== <big>Premiership of Pilbara</big> ===
ItzRtqx became Prime Minister of the Pilbaran Empire on February 3rd 2025, leading the Pilbaran United Party to victory over the PPP candidate SquishyTheFrog after being carried by his party in the election. His premiership was not as eventful as the one of Gabe's before his leading to his label as the "Biden PM", but he did pass fairly useless infrastructure bills such as the National Development Program bill which established volunteer work projects for infrastructure builds, and the development councils which consists of infrastructure enthusiasts coordinating their ideas and working together on projects. However, he was criticized for a lack of action in several factors, such as his Foreign Policy and Diplomacy in the Australia War, as well as his lack of initiatives in almost all other areas, with the Development Councils too plagued by inactivity and a lack of use, all of which have been repealled.

=== Post Premiership and the Mandurah Crisis ===
ItzRtqx's term as Prime Minister ended on April 3rd 2025 after he refused to seek re-election, citing continueing commitments at university in real life. He was succeeded by GabeTheSavior, his friend and predecessor, as Prime Minister. He was reappointed Minister of National Development. At Haggler84's request he left Mandurah again and created north eyre, leaving the town in the hands of Sn1p3r_R1fl3786. When he tried going back to Mandurah eventually, Sn1p3r refused, even rejecting ItzRtqx's offer to give him his "small town in the desert" . Eventually, Mandurah was given back to Itz, although Pilbara over claimed it as when the gambler left Pilbara, they assumed he was not going to give it back. They built a "monument" in the overclaimed part, which caused great annoyance to Itz and caused a greater divide between him and his friends. This was not good for Pilbara’s development.

=== Downfall and collapse of popularity in Pilbara ===
In early April, majority of the government defected to the opposition. However, due to ItzRtqx having conflict with velvetworm in the past, he was not offered to join with his former friends. This led to him feeling his good friends Gabe and Smothy had stabbed him in the back, as they didn't try to convince velvetworm to let him in either. He became deputy leader of the Democracy and Development Party, which formed following the collapse of what remained of the Pilbaran United Party and a merger with the Democratic Efficiency Party. On April 30th, during a cabinet shuffle, ItzRtqx was shuffled off of MoND on to the open position of Minister of Transport. A couple of hours later it came to light that ItzRtqx had misappropriate over 50% of his ministry funding via gambling it at Brazil. He resigned his position as Minister of Transport later that night, realising that the impending inquiry would likely mean this anyway, and he preferred to leave on his own terms, however the next day he would attempt to unresign and challenge the inquiry, and lost which led to most trust for Itz being lost.

The inquiry which led to his downfall:

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1zSMWYq9N8nwWckxX-qSsGeCX8GPgLcSb8gztCJjGyno/mobilebasic

=== Aftermath ===
After his fall from government, he had attempted to gain a deputy position in the cabinet, however this was repeatedly denied. He attempted to mend relations with his friends but they fell out again after Itz attempted to steal $400-$500 worth of Heads from Albury, and was caught by GabeTheSaviour and smothyhoo, with Itz later claiming the action to be a "prank", a fact he still stands by today. Itz then went ahead and deleted Mandurah, having practically given up on playing at this point, and was subsequently banned from Pilbara in-game as well as their discord, and went on an extended break overseas until July 28th. His citizenship was revoked, which has been officiated by the Pilbaran Enemy of the State Act 2025, with the Pilbaran Government and Monarchy supporting the permanent ban of Itz from Pilbara. It is possible he will attempt to be diplomatic with Pilbara in future, though it seems unlikely that he'll ever return to Pilbara

''Itz's crashouts have been immortalized in Pilbara, with several memes being made in the community relating to them, with famous quotes such as:''

''"gg you just ended Pilbara's development"''

''"Fuck you Galaxygaming"''

''"Well done smothyhoo"''

''"you would not be here to look down on me if i had not given you the stairs to ascend above me"''

''"WHY CANT I DELETE SMOTHYS MESSAGES FUCK I HATE THIS DISCORD IM NOT IN CONTROL"''

==Exile to Canada and the beginnings of Nunavik==

Due to Pilbara's insistence that ItzRtqx leave the Australian continent fully under threat of all out war, after his assertion that he would make a nation called Wudjari near the Pilbaran town of Esperance, a deal was brokered between ItzRtqx and his former comrades, the terms of which were as follows:

Balladonia was to be sold to Pilbara for a price of 300g, in exchange for ItzRtqx leaving the continent permanently. Pilbaran citizen Dishonesty also agreed with government consent to snipe a nation in Canada for Itz to take over. The chosen nation was a 2.1d nation in Quebec.

On July 4th 2025, Balladonia was put up for sale and sold in a matter of hours to Pilbara. ItzRtqx was immediately kicked from the town under the terms of the deal, thereby ending over 2 years of his presence on the Australian continent for good. He claimed his nation by creating the new town of Hudson Bay along the coast of the bay of the same name, and having the nation transferred to him, on July 7th 2025. The current capital, The_Imperials, was then deleted by Pilbara, leaving Hudson Bay as the capital of the new nation. The nation will begin developing on July 29th upon Itz's full return to EMC

==Exile to Canada and the beginnings of Nunavik==

Due to Pilbara's insistence that ItzRtqx leave the Australian continent fully under threat of all out war, after his assertion that he would make a nation called Wudjari near the Pilbaran town of Esperance, a deal was brokered between ItzRtqx and his former comrades, the terms of which were as follows:

Balladonia was to be sold to Pilbara for a price of 300g, in exchange for ItzRtqx leaving the continent permanently. Pilbaran citizen Dishonesty also agreed with government consent to snipe a nation in Canada for Itz to take over. The chosen nation was a 2.1d nation in Quebec.

On July 4th 2025, Balladonia was put up for sale and sold in a matter of hours to Pilbara. ItzRtqx was immediately kicked from the town under the terms of the deal, thereby ending over 2 years of his presence on the Australian continent for good. He claimed his nation by creating the new town of Hudson Bay along the coast of the bay of the same name, and having the nation transferred to him, on July 7th 2025. The current capital, The_Imperials, was then deleted by Pilbara, leaving Hudson Bay as the capital of the new nation. The nation will begin developing on July 29th upon Itz's full return to EMC

}}

'''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.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 622, 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 17 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[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, 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.

=== 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 and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior replacing him in 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.

== 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].

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, with the country's constitution highlighting a more in-depth liberal democratic political system. It features a unicameral parliament of 15 elected MPs. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government (Cabinet) comprising appointed ministers and headed by a Prime Minister, who must also be an MP, linking the legislative and executive branches. 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 (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (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.

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

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

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

* Minister of Intelligence (MoI): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage).

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

* Minister of Foreign Affairs (MoFA): Manages foreign issues with the aim of keeping relations with other nations peaceful.

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

* Minister of Transport (MoTR): Builds new transport links and creates helpful guides/resources. Head of the Pilbara Transport Authority.

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

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the head of the Constitutional Court, the Chief Justice. Chief Justice elections are instead headed by the PM.
Parliament is elected every two months whereas the Chief Justice is elected quarterly.

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.

* 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 ==
The Pilbaran military remains in a state of neglect, however, a War Cabinet does exist.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].

=== Trade ===

=== 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.

== 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. 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 Transportation (MoTR) 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. 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 ===

}}

'''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.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 622, 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 17 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[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, 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.

=== 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 and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior replacing him in 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.

== 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].

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, with the country's constitution highlighting a more in-depth liberal democratic political system. It features a unicameral parliament of 15 elected MPs. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government (Cabinet) comprising appointed ministers and headed by a Prime Minister, who must also be an MP, linking the legislative and executive branches. 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 (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (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.

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

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

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

* Minister of Intelligence (MoI): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage).

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

* Minister of Foreign Affairs (MoFA): Manages foreign issues with the aim of keeping relations with other nations peaceful.

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

* Minister of Transport (MoTR): Builds new transport links and creates helpful guides/resources. Head of the Pilbara Transport Authority.

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

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the head of the Constitutional Court, the Chief Justice. Chief Justice elections are instead headed by the PM.
Parliament is elected every two months whereas the Chief Justice is elected quarterly.

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.

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 ==
The Pilbaran military remains in a state of neglect, however, a War Cabinet does exist.

== Economy ==
Pilbara's economy operates under a distinct model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism capitalism] referred to as [[Pilbaran Capitalism]].

=== 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.

=== 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.

== 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. 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 Transportation (MoTR) 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.

Established on the 10th of November 2023, with a total population of 622, 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 17 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire).

[[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, 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.

=== 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.

=== 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 and established the Pilbaran Labour Party (PLP), with GabeTheSavior replacing him in an uncontested election. Following this, a swath of members from the Pilbaran Social Democratic Party (PSDP) left. The party faced some criticism for this, though would continue on to perform well in the subsequent parliamentary election.

=== 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.

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].

== Government and politics ==
{{Main article|Politics_of_Pilbara}}
Pilbara is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, with the country's constitution highlighting a more in-depth liberal democratic political system. It features a unicameral parliament of 15 elected MPs. Executive power is exercised by a centralized government (Cabinet) comprising appointed ministers and headed by a Prime Minister, who must also be an MP, linking the legislative and executive branches. 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 (ratified 5/6/2024), the office of prime minister (ratified 30/6/2024), and a constitutional court (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.

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

* Prime Minister (PM): Leads the Cabinet.

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

* Minister of Intelligence (MoI): Gathers intelligence on matters deemed important (espionage).

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

* Minister of Foreign Affairs (MoFA): Manages foreign issues with the aim of keeping relations with other nations peaceful.

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

* Minister of Transport (MoTR): Builds new transport links and creates helpful guides/resources. Head of the Pilbara Transport Authority.

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

The parliamentary electoral system uses preferential voting and is overseen by the head of the Constitutional Court, the Chief Justice. Chief Justice elections are instead headed by the PM.
Parliament is elected every two months whereas the Chief Justice is elected quarterly.

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.

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.

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