== Pilbara and The Pilbaran Empire ==
[[Category:Nations (Aurora)]]
===== Section 1: Pilbaran history =====
[[Category:Pilbara]]
November 10th 2023, the formation of Pilbara. At the time of Pilbaras formation, it quickly gained 3 towns in the northern Australia area expanding its territorial gain at great speed.
Growth continued for about a week until tensions on the continent started rising. At the time, The Australian Empire swore to control the continent under their rule and sometime in Late november of 2023, peace discussions began.


During this period Pilbara had grown by 3 towns, expanding their territory south. At the time this was controversial within Australia, but we however met an agreement just a month later.
'''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.
And so, on the 31st of December 2023, Pilbara and Australia finally signed a treaty and border agreement, locking Pilbara out of Australian claims and Australia out of Pilbaran claims.
However, during this period Pilbara grew rapidly and didnt have room to fit all the new towns within its current border and so on the 9th February 2024, Pilbara left the treaty and border agreement and started expansion elsewhere


During this period, relations with Australia declined rapidly resulting in an Australian town being planted in Pilbaran territory, so in response Pilbara planted 2 towns on their major cities which would go on to overclaim them.
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 largest nation in the region and 10th largest on the server (however it is known to alternate between the 8th and 11th largest).  
As time went on, Pilbara continued to grow, on the 13th march 2024 Onslow Bay reached 100 residents for the first time.


However, in worse news the start of the Australian - Pilbaran war started with anti Pilbaran announcements being posted in the Australia discord, in response Pilbara did a similar announcement back.
Pilbara also consists of 4 nations within its [[Meganation|meganation]] (The Pilbaran Empire), which makes it the 27th largest alliance to currently exist.
On the same day (23rd march 2024) Pilbara officially declared war on Australia in support of Pilbara and in response of recent actions. (War declaration can be found on TBI).  


However, on the 24th march Australia responded by making an invasion town next to the Pilbaran capital, Onslow Bay. This resulted in Australia losing territory in the middle of Australia.  
[[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.
And on the 29th march, Oceania officially merged with Pilbara in order to save a town from overclaim and to unify the 2 nations together. This resulted in Pilbara reaching a nation bonus of 100.


On the 15th April 2024, Pilbara officially overclaim the towns of Freddo, Cooberpeddy and JavaScript resulting in the towns losing around 10 to 20 chunks of territory.

== History ==


And finally on the 26th April 2024, after some discussion Pilbara and Australia formed the treaty of Albury ending the war permanently. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyCJ0zuH_ZWgbQZtd2Gj6u2xs54-q_Og9jZtlyc-kog/edit)
=== Foundation ===
The final and most recent bit of Pilbaran history was the expansion of The Pilbaran Empire into North Korea. (It did however nearly cause a war so we were forced to sell it off)
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.


===== Section 2: our alliances  =====
During Pilbara's foundation, it exhibited fast territorial growth - quickly acquiring 3 towns in Northern Australia.


- Tavastia: On the 16th november 2024, Pilbara signed an alliance with the nation of Tavastia which was at the time led by Salbru.

- Alabama: On the same day, 16th march, Pilbara signed an alliance with Alabama which was at the time led by oIsar.
=== 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]]<br><small>(c. 23/11/2023)</small>]]
 
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<br><small>(c. 23/3/2024)</small>]]
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, 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.<br><br> 
 
=== 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<br><small>(c. 28/4/2023)</small>]]
Formally on the 28th of April, 2024, 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.
 
=== 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.
 
== 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].

=== Kobism ===
[[File:Kobigod.png|Artistic interpretation of Kobi|thumb]]
[[Kobism|'''Kobism''']] is a contrived religion within '''Pilbara''' and the first [[KobistReligions|'''Kobist Religion''']]. The religion doesn't possess any values and is 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. The religion inspired [[Craftism#Kobi|'''Kobist Craftism''']] & [[Newmanism|'''Newmanism''']].
 
=== 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 as well as many more aliases.
 
=== Diversity ===
Pilbara is incredibly diverse, with its residents originating from a variety of places - making the Pilbaran community quite interesting. The assortment of distinct views and behaviors provide a variety of exotic differences to the culture.

=== Appointees ===
In addition to those elected, appointees also operate within the government, with most usually assuming advisory positions. They may be categorized into three groups; re-appointed ministers or advisors. Alternatively, they may also be sorted by those that are appointed on account of policy and those that are simply appointed by an official.
 
==== Advisors ====
Advisors are drawn by ministers and cater to more specific responsibilities.

== Infrastructure ==
 
=== Highway System ===
Pilbaran 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.
Currently, they link all major towns on the northern and southern coasts, and they are in the process of expanding eastward.
The national highway is coupled with Australia's extensive highway network and an alleged international highway.
 
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.

Pilbara is the overarching constituent nation of the Pilbaran Empire, spanning across several regions within 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 Pacific. It boasts 58 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 4 nations within its meganation (The Pilbaran Empire), which makes it the 27th largest alliance to currently exist.

kobiKraft, the founder of the nation, established Pilbara after receiving funding from 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 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 The Australian Empire's declaration of control over the continent. Following this, in late November of 2023, peace discussions began.

(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 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 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

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. 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-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 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

North Korea /n
(c. 28/4/2023)

Formally on the 28th of April, 2024, Pilbara attempted to expand its territory, particularly within Asia, via a purchase of North Korea, which was (and still is) under the possession of 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.

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.

Geography

Overview

Due to Pilbara's sparseness within the Australian continent, it features a distinctive geography, comprised of various types of biomes, flora, and fauna.

Culture

Overview

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

Artistic interpretation of Kobi

Kobism is a contrived religion within Pilbara and the first Kobist Religion. The religion doesn't possess any values and is 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. The religion inspired Kobist Craftism & Newmanism.

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 as well as many more aliases.

Diversity

Pilbara is incredibly diverse, with its residents originating from a variety of places - making the Pilbaran community quite interesting. The assortment of distinct views and behaviors 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, Crimson Skies.

Infrastructure

Highway System

Pilbaran 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. Currently, they link all major towns on the northern and southern coasts, and they are in the process of expanding eastward. The national highway is coupled with Australia's extensive highway network and an alleged international highway.

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.
