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

The Great Australian War, also known as the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war, was a global conflict involving over 50 in-game nations, fought primarily in Australia and North America. On one side of the war was Australia, including a few of its allies. On the other was a coalition formed between NA, Pilbara and their constituent sub-nations. The coalition was heavily backed by the OFN which joined the war after invoking their mutual defence clause on the 13th of October, as Pilbara and NA were part of the military alliance.
Background
Lead-up
After the 3rd Pilbaro-Australian war in June 2024, relations began to improve between the two nations. Although a rivalry still clearly existed, this period was one of peace and development for the entire continent. On the 24th of July 2024, the nation of NA was created by Gautomy and joined Australia as a province. About a month later, NA declared independence and left Australia on good terms, signing a non-aggression pact on the 29th of August. However, relations between the two nations began to deteriorate immediately. In the opinion of Gautomy, this was because of Australia’s alleged aggressive behaviour towards NA. On the other hand, the Australians claimed that Gautomy was trying to frame Australia as aggressive in order to start conflict. In the month of September, NA and Pilbara strengthened ties and had improved relations. On the 17th, Pilbara created the town of “Pooperpeddy” next to the Australian Capital, CooberPedy. This was seen as an act of war by Australia, and led to a rapid increase in hostility between Pilbara and Australia. Already, those living on the continent feared imminent war.
The Adelaide Declaration
On the 1st of October, Australia created the town of Paradisi 5 chunks from Ayr, which was in NA at the time, previously in Australia. NA viewed this as a hostile act, while Australia insisted that the town had no aggressive purpose, and that creating towns was not against the NAP previously signed by the two nations. Australia then proceeded to buy Ayr and the Pilbaran town of Ponta_do_sol. Gautomy was angered at this, and also labelled the purchases as hostile. Australia once again pointed out that the treaty had not been broken, and contained nothing about buying towns. Furthermore, Gautomy accused Australia of breaking the treaty by trying to sway a mayor in NA to their side. Firehawk722, who was a mayor in Australia, messaged a mayor in NA, suggesting that he should defect. The Australian government, extremely frustrated at this point, said that Firehawk722 did not represent Australia and was merely a mayor who could not be controlled.
Tensions increased dramatically after it was revealed that Gautomy himself had messaged some Australian mayors to join NA, even bribing them to do so. As well as this, Gautomy was paying members of the OFN Alliance 10g for each Australian they killed. On the 4th, Pilbara and NA formed a coalition and sent a joint ultimatum to Australia, known as the Adelaide declaration, demanding that Australia return the purchased towns and apologise for aggressive behaviour, threatening to declare war after 48 hours. While Australia wanted to avoid war at all costs, the towns were believed to have been purchased rightfully, and the government thought that if they gave NA and Pilbara what they wanted, it could lead to more potential ultimatums or demands.
Australia thus ignored the ultimatum, and the NA-Pilbara Coalition (NPC) declared war on Australia on the 7th of October. In response, Australia released an official announcement claiming that the towns were rightfully purchased, and that it was Pilbara and NA who had acted hostile towards Australia in weeks preceding the declaration of war, with examples such as the creation of Pooperpeddy and Gautomy’s bribing of mayors.
War had finally begun.
