}}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.

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.

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.

===Bairnsdale invasion===

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]].

===Albury invasion===

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.
