The Siege of Akpatok took place on 1 November 2024 and was part of the Great Australian War. It was the only battle during the war fought between Australia and the OFN, not including NA or Pilbara. It was also the only battle fought outside the Australian continent.

Before November 2024, FISHISM was a town located on Akpatok Island, northeastern Canada, belonging to Vermont. It contained a fishing fortress, spanning approximately 30 chunks, where Vermont fished and stored fishing loot, in large storage systems and barrel rooms. At the beginning of November, the town fell, and Vermonters rushed to the fort to retrieve the valuable items present and bring them to the capital city. On the 1st of November, Zenvy15, an Australian soldier, investigated the island due to seeing Vermonters on the EMC Dynmap. When the Vermonters located Zenvy15 and tried to attack him, he teleported back to Australia and notified other Australians of the fortress. A group of 5 Australians then approached the fortress, attempting to raid it.

The Vermonters and Australians engaged in PvP, with 3 or more neutral PvPers arriving at the scene after a while. During the raid, the Australians destroyed hundreds of double chests and barrels, containing hundreds of thousands of items. A limited number of valuable items were taken by the Australians, over 1000g worth of loot. The rest of the items were destroyed using lava and fire, in order to prevent the Vermonters from retrieving them. According to Zenvy, there were so many items on the ground that it caused dramatic reductions in FPS.

According to the former mayor of the town, thacommoncold, the (destroyed) over-enchanted armour in the chests was worth approximately 30000g. Therefore, the raiding of this valuable fortress was an important victory for Australia and a large loss for Vermont, and indeed the OFN as a whole.
