Balladonia

Balladonia is a settlement in rural south-eastern Western Australia on Terra Aurora created by ItzRtqx in early April 2023. It currently consists of only a town hall spawn building and is a one-chunk town. However there are future plans to make Balladonia the official base of "The Resistance" a hypothetical organisation committed to the reclamation of Perth from the current owners, who are deemed by the resistance as illegitimate and useless, with no evidence of building in any of their claims.

Currently, Balladonia is small, but hopes to expand into the outback and towards the sea with more citizens. Although gold was once plentiful in the region, supplies have been run dry by prospectors from Melbourne and WA. Situated beneath the town is a Lush biome, and west of the town there is a poster of singer Rick Astley, known for his infamous song,"Never Gonna Give You Up" which led to the prank of "Rickrolling".The poster was surrounded with a fence and turned into the Rick Astley Memorial Farm on the day of the towns creation. Balladonia also consists of a wheat farm which is around 30 by 20 blocks in size. However this farm is outside of the city as of current, as is the memorial farm.

In the future, there are also plans for a transcontinental underground ice road that can be traversed by boat that will run from outside the limits of Perth to outside the limits of Melbourne and Adelaide. If more residents do join, the town may become a desert capital, a second Cairo, and a hub and midway point for anyone travelling through from Perth to Melbourne and vice versa. The town/city will only have wooden houses until the city has over 20 residents, when it will begin to have skyscrapers.
