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 | 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. It has been said to be the largest war in Aurora history. On one side of the war was Australia, including a few of its allies. On the other was a coalition formed between NA (NA stands for "North Australia"), Pilbara and their constituent sub-nations. The coalition was 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. | ||

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 violated the Pilbaran-Australian peace treaty, but Australia, not wanting conflict, refrained from declaring war. Even so, the ties between Pilbara and NA, and the creation of pooperpeddy led to a rapid increase in hostility between Pilbara and Australia. Already, those living on the continent feared imminent war. | After the 3rd Pilbaro-Australian war ended in June 2024, relations began to improve between the two nations.

For this, they had Onslow Bay resident Wolftree47 create the town, naming it initially to Sunshine_Coast, identical to the old town name, however then renaming to Freepanthr. Pilbara then gathered a bunch of TNT, where they used the TNT to demolish the infrastructure built up on the land. After this, statues were made of Panth_r, GabeTheSavior, Wolftree47, and kobiKraft. | On October 20, 2024, the then-mayor/holder of the Australian town of Sunshine_Coast, HeyHeyHeyHeyHey, 42 day'd.

On the 19th and 20th of October, the two biggest PvP battles the continent had ever seen took place - The 2nd battle of Emberstone, & the battle of Esperance, both decisive victories for Australia. A day later, Gautomy, realising that defeating Australia would not have been as easy as he previously thought, appointed ArshiaTK as leader and fled to North America with most of the nation's wealth. | On the 19th and 20th of October, the two biggest PvP battles the continent had ever seen took place - The 2nd battle of Emberstone, & the battle of Esperance, both decisive victories for Australia.

ArshiaTK felt betrayed by Gautomy, and was forced to lead a now bankrupt nation.

After a day, he handed his leadership position to Leyons & ZKS1, who almost immediately began negotiations with Australia. On the 28th of October, NA surrendered, and Leyons & ZKS1 sold the capital to Australia for 6000 gold. It was later revealed that one third of this gold was secretly transferred to Gautomy, who had made an agreement with Leyons & ZKS1. | ||
The surrender of NA was a huge victory for Australia, and Pilbara, viewing the event as a result of incompetent and foolish leadership within NA, continued fighting the war with the OFN's support. | The surrender of NA was a huge victory for Australia, and Pilbara, viewing the event as a result of incompetent and foolish leadership within NA, continued fighting the war with the OFN's support. | ||

In early December of 2024, after their obtainment of [[Pilsy]] when VisualVenture was banned and as such 42 day'd, [[Knight2k8]] and [[Woomy2k9]] began rapidly expanding the land claims of Pilsy along the eastern Australian coast, eventually reaching Bairnsdale, the capital of the Pilbaran territory of [[Aurora:Gippsland|Gippsland]]. From here, Pilsy began to overclaim it, beginning small however picking up more aggressively later on to the point where they had taken more of a third of Bairnsdale within about 2 weeks. After overclaiming more chunks, Pilsy reached Bairnsdale's Castle, with [[Swetmc]] doing to blow it up with TNT with Knight's agreement to avenge CooperPedy of its explosion by Pilbara. For fear of a greater destruction, Pilbara responsed to this by sending of [[Aurora:SquishyTheFrog | SquishyTheFrog]] to overclaim into Bairnsdale as well with [[Aurora:Melbourne | Melbourne]]. This expansion campaign has finally resulted in the annexation of more than half of Bairnsdale by [[Pilsy]], and its incorporation into the nation of Australia with the disbanding of [[Aurora:Gippsland|Gippsland]] by [[Woomy2k9]]. | In early December of 2024, after their obtainment of [[Pilsy]] when VisualVenture was banned and as such 42 day'd, [[Knight2k8]] and [[Woomy2k9]] began rapidly expanding the land claims of Pilsy along the eastern Australian coast, eventually reaching Bairnsdale, the capital of the Pilbaran territory of [[Aurora:Gippsland|Gippsland]].

===Albury invasion [ | ===Albury invasion [To be verified]=== | ||
At the beginning of March, the town of '''Diez''', located in southeastern Australia, began to overclaim Albury, having deactivated its shield and taken 24 chunks from it in the course of the day. This was a great victory for the Australians, who received tons of booty and managed to bring one of the largest Pilbaran cities in south-east Australia to its knees. They then blew it up in the same way as Pilbara had done for CooperPedy. This event was also the cause of the 2 biggest crashouts ever seen in this conflict, which made the whole of Australia laugh out loud. | At the beginning of March 2025, the town of '''Diez''', located in southeastern Australia, began to overclaim Albury, having deactivated its shield and taken 24 chunks from it in the course of the day.

===New Caledonia Overclaim & Bombing=== | |||
In April, the Pilbaran town New Caledonia was overclaimed by the town Malabou (Not under Australia in-game, likely due to range limitations, but owned and used by Australians, with government affiliation) owned by Patty_Squad, resulting in a splitting of claims, looting, and bombing of the town's kobiKraft statue. The aforementioned splitting of claims was later found to be illegal, leading to the reversal of the overclaim and bombing, as well as the restoral of some loot. | |||
===CooberPedy Bombing / 2nd Invasion=== | |||
On June 12th, Pilbara bombed CooberPedy for a second time, following a large overclaim campaign that resulted in the annexation of the nation’s shop and consequently its looting. Over 20 spectators witnessed the explosion, with the town accessible globally through open teleportation, allowing anyone to teleport there. The explosion was synchronised with the beat drop of Xenogenesis by TheFatRat, which was playing in the public Pilbara Discord voice channel. Pilbara regarded the bombing as strongly symbolic of their victory, connecting it to an earlier victory declaration on May 3rd. However, on the 28th of August, the bombing was reversed following Pilbara's [[Aurora:Pilbara#Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus|PLP Exodus]] which resulted in the loss of significant territory, including the overclaim town on CooberPedy. | |||
===2.1_ChangeName Invasion [ | ===2.1_ChangeName Invasion [To be verified]=== | ||
During August, Pilbara removed a large part of their nation in the south-east of the continent. This cluster of towns then joined Australia, with some of their previous mayors leaving the continent. this left the town '''2.1_ChangeName''' open for overclaim. a small portion was overclaimed by '''Development''' , which lead to the mayor at the time, Lakefish, to do a mass unclaim, leaving only a string of claims to mark where 2.1ChangeName once claimed. Along side this, the town of Bairnsdale was sniped, and the regional stronghold of Melbourne fell into Australian Hands. | During August, Pilbara removed a large part of their nation in the south-east of the continent.
