The growth of the summer holidays would eventually die down, as school returned and fewer residents were able to find the time to regularly log on. Throughout the rest of the February-July period, the nation would swing between 15 and 20 towns, gradually losing them to inactive mayors no longer being accessible, and forgetfulness in reminding those that were still in contact to log on regularly. The April Autumn holidays would bring another spike in activity, however would not reach the same degree of prominence of the Summer holidays, and would not produce enough activity to bring about a sustainable community of regularly active citizens. | The growth of the summer holidays would eventually die down, as school returned and fewer residents were able to find the time to regularly log on.

==== Regenerative Period, the Melbourne Conflict | ==== Regenerative Period, the Melbourne Conflict ==== | ||
Although not seeing the high population number of the previous Summer holidays, July brought the Winter holidays along with an extended COVID-19 lockdown in New South Wales. This fostered the appropriate environment for the return of prominent citizens such as [[SCOBlade]], and meant that new mayors would have more time to settle into Australia, and become active citizens. This period is marked as distinctly more successful than the Summer holidays due to mayors other than [[shellblu]] recruiting, indicating a nation that was becoming more self-sufficient and less reliant on a single person. It also saw Australia's first genuine conflict in a year, where the province [[Lower_Australia]] declared independence from Australia after encouragement from Nubia. This declaration of independence was quickly met with the settlement of Bendigo and Ballarat in the area surrounding Melbourne, the capital of [[Lower_Australia]], prompting a conclusion to the war less than 24 hours after it began. This was compounded by the large number of foreign nations that declared support for Australia, due in part to friendships with the leader [[shellblu]], and a disliking for the [[Lower_Australia]]<nowiki/>n leader [[Beaverman1]] for his history in North America. The conflict encouraged more activity in the nation, and was a launchpad through which the nation would continue to grow. | Although not seeing the high population number of the previous Summer holidays, July brought the Winter holidays along with an extended COVID-19 lockdown in New South Wales.

==== Nubian Tensions, Mid 2021 - November 2021 ==== | |||
The conflict in Melbourne was part of the larger extended period of tension between Australia and [[Nubia]]. This was focused around the nation [[Great_Southern]], located in Western Australia. From the Australian perspective, Great_Southern was a nation built from members of the Nubian community, and had been adopted into the Nubian sphere of influence as a colony in all ways except name. | The conflict in Melbourne was part of the larger extended period of tension between Australia and [[Nubia]].

Proponents of the Australian perspective pointed to Nubia's support of Lower_Australia as evidence of Nubia's colonial prospects, with [[Twomoo1119]] admitting Nubian involvement was to place pressure on Great_Southern's local rival. The Nubian and Great Southern alternative was that Great Southern had been founded in open territory in Western Australia, and had improved the region due to the activity brought by [[32Soup]]'s recruitment. | Proponents of the Australian perspective pointed to Nubia's support of Lower_Australia as evidence of Nubia's colonial prospects, with [[Twomoo1119]] admitting Nubian involvement was to place pressure on Great_Southern's local rival. The Nubian and Great Southern alternative was that Great Southern had been founded in open territory in Western Australia, and had improved the region due to the activity brought by [[32Soup]], and later [[Owltamer986]]'s recruitment. Australian rebuttal pointed to vastly rural, although still existent Australian provinces and towns in the region. Nubians also justified support of Lower_Australia as a misinterpretation of 32Soup's words that Australia had previously threatened Great_Southern. | ||
Notable events that occurred in this period: | |||
* Australia joining the Rajasa Pact, and general Rajasa support against Nubia | |||
* Melbourne conflict | |||
* The nations of Nullarbor and Outback joining Great_Southern | |||
* The purchase of WesternAustralia, an Austrailan province, by Great_Southern | |||
* Great_Southern towns encroaching into Australia's Gascoyne province | |||
This period ended with Australia's purchase of Great_Southern for 4200 gold, with many Great_Southern mayors leaving their towns for other continents, with the notable exception of [[ShadowVoider]]. | |||
