=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
=== Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus ===
Midway through Panth_r's term as Prime Minister, on August 17, 2025, he resigned and handed over his position to BCN_Mark. This was followed by the resignation of the governor general, the external affairs and infrastructure ministers, and then six members of parliament followed by leaving the nation of Pilbara. These resignations meant that no party from either side of the opposition could form a government, resulting in the permanent removal of the party system and a complete reform of the Pilbaran electoral system towards a more unified government. The reasons for the resignation and leaving of the nation were at first unknown with everyone giving unclear answers, but within the following days the answer was more clear that the at the time Prime Minister Panth_r was bored of being in the nation and decided to leave, with a majority of his party (The PLP) deciding to follow him, first to Laurentides and later to reclaim Oceania. Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, which eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty. The effects on Pilbara during the short term were dire, with information provided by UnitiveBog showing a 20% to 30% reduction in towns, residents and chunks, but as of December 2nd, 2025, the nation has shown a 70% to 90% recovery in all sectors.

Consequently, relations between Oceania and Pilbara soured resulting in Oceania pulling more people, towns, and residents from Pilbara over the next 2 months, including most towns in the southeast of the continent, the overclaim town on CooberPedy (Australia's Capital), and Mungaroona. The conflict eventually ended in November 2025, as all hostilities had ceased around this time, with the signing of an NAP and peace treaty.

=== Discord Nuke ===
On October 9th, months after the departure of Dishonesty, Pilbara's Discord was nuked by him via his EMC utility bot, McGooner. The nuke occurred at 4:24pm 8/10/2025 UTC and resulted in the deletion of all channels, however, roles were not affected. The nuke was initiated during an [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3WWoThxyyVrPhcuwmIJ6Ny interview] involving Panth_r and Dishonesty as part of the Global Chat Podcast. The moderations' response to the nuke was to create a new Discord server and issue a public statement. Reactions to the nuke were mixed, with nations such as Cascadia reacting negatively, while other nations such as Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia reacted positively.
