The group originally founded as The Imperium by [[Vladimir]] in August 2006.<ref>https://forum.astroempires.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=895</ref>. In February 2007, it rebranded as New Planetary Order under [[Ivan Moldavi]].<ref>https://forum.astroempires.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4816</ref>. Following the "Moldavi Rebellion" in Cyber Nations, the New Planetary Order would drift apart from the rest of the community. The guild appears to have rebranded again as The Imperium sometime in the late 2010s, but as of August 2025 appears defunct.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
On August 18, 2021, Xoriet was promoted to the rank of Intelligence Director to help develop and build out the department to gather more information about Torn and the factions that inhabit it.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/193817-imperial-appointment-and-new-department/ Imperial Appointment and New Department]'', {{Torn|SynysterGates}} (August 18, 2021)</ref><br />
<br />
She held the position until the Intelligence department was dissolved on March 7, 2023 and replaced with the {{Tornp|Diplomatic Affairs|Department of Diplomatic Affairs}}, whereupon Xoriet was promoted to the rank of Imperial Officer of Diplomatic Affairs.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/198309-introducing-the-department-of-diplomatic-affairs/ Introducing the Department of Diplomatic Affairs]'', {{Torn|Nemphesis}} (March 7, 2023)</ref><br />

==Emperor/Empress==<br />
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as Delegate of [[the Pacific]].<br />
<br />
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. {{NS|Warrior Thorin}}, most notably, and others referred to Francos Spain as "Emperor," but there are no records showing Francos Spain used that title for himself. During the [[People's Republic of the Pacific]], the equivalent term was Senator of the Delegacy. The title has thus been retroactively awarded to Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan.<br />

<br />
==Emperor/Empress==<br />
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as Delegate of [[the Pacific]].<br />
<br />
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. {{NS|Warrior Thorin}}, most notably, and others referred to Francos Spain as "Emperor," but there are no records showing Francos Spain used that title for himself. During the [[People's Republic of the Pacific]], the equivalent term was Senator of the Delegacy. The title has thus been retroactively awarded to Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan.<br />

The '''New Pacific Order''' found its beginnings in [[NationStates]] in August 2003 after the effective founder of the Order, [[Francos Spain]], mechanically seized the oldest region in the game from sitting delegate Thedoc and began the process of establishing a new government. The NPO has always been primarily based in and maintained sovereign control over [[The Pacific]], a Feeder region in the game from which it takes its name.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Main|History of the New Pacific Order in NationStates}}<br />
The New Pacific Order was founded on September 1, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Although it has operated under several names and charters since, the Order has maintained a politically continuous government since its founding. Francos Spain, the founder of the New Pacific Order, seized the Delegacy of The Pacific from defender delegate Thedoc. He proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while internal allies Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly behind the scenes. Francos Spain's seizure of the region caused a great uproar in NationStates and he found himself under attack on a regular basis by players from many players across many regions. He repelled all attempts to take it back. His original major supporters aiding in keeping the region secure and intact were Infernoice and Poskrebyshev. The opposing side and major opponent to the fledgling Order was [[The Pacific Army]], with notable figures Thedoc and CrazyGirl as members. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support, although other groups tried individually as well.<br />
<br />
After a time all the forces opposing the New Pacific Order either fell apart or ceased to hold interest in fighting. This would, of course, not be the last time the New Pacific Order would face the ire of the NationStates community. When Francos Spain eventually departed from the game, Unlimited and the other Senators from his time founded the People's Republic of the Pacific. The PRP is sometimes referred to as a golden age by older players in the modern day. During the era of the PRP, relations were formed with regions that were hitherto opposed to the Order. The excellent PR and FA work by Sir Paul and Unlimited in particular led to the acceptance of the New Pacific Order in a community that had once been overtly hostile.<br />
<br />
The rise of the game CyberNations dealt a blow to NS NPO, as it drained a good deal of talent and activity from the region. This was a period that lasted until 2015, almost nine years of struggle. Despite the efforts of multiple talented Emperors and their Senates, resuscitating the region proved to be difficult. However, for any internal activity issues, the New Pacific Order remained politically connected and was caught many times subverting the "sovereignty" of other regions. Sometimes this had consequences and other times not so much. 2015 marked a turning point where after the collapse of the New Lazarene Order, an effort to declare ownership of Lazarus executed by Senators Feux, A mean old man, Karpathos, and Milograd along with future Senator Pergamon and Feux's friend Stujenske, activity abroad funneled back to The Pacific. <br />
<br />
It was not until 2018 that controversy would return in full. After years of turbulent dealings with raiders and divisions between independent regions and The Pacific, it culminated in a firestorm of attacks on The Pacific and its government. This marked the end of an era for The Pacific, as the successor to the beleaguered Aleisyr, Lord of Darkness, put an end to the foreign games played by predecessor governments. After that point, the New Pacific Order gradually rose from a region in fortress mode to a powerhouse of foreign affairs led by a strong Senate that pursued good relations abroad and built new relations with regions that previously expressed dislike towards The Pacific. To this day it remains a force of neutrality and refuses to get involved in the primary metagame that stirs controversy in the game, raiding and defending. In a position of solid standing and remaining a neutral power is the state of affairs now and will remain so for as long as the New Pacific Order in NationStates continues. Lord of Darkness later passed the delegacy to Xoriet, who was the first Empress of the NS NPO branch. Xoriet then passed the seat to Marina, who is the current Empress of the New Pacific Order in NationStates.<br />
<br />
==Charter==<br />
{{Main|Charter of the New Pacific Order (NationStates)}}<br />
The Charter of the New Pacific Order is the supreme law of the Order and [[the Pacific]]. NPO adopted its current charter in January 2019.<ref>{{forumlink|NPO|topic=178525-new-charter-of-the-new-pacific-order/}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
{{Main|Government history of the New Pacific Order in NationStates}}<br />
{{Main|Departments of the New Pacific Order (NationStates)}}<br />
<br />
===Senate===<br />
The Senate of the New Pacific Order is normally comprised of the '''Emperor/Empress''', the '''Regent''', and a flexible team of Senators. <br />
<br />
None of these positions are required to be filled at all times save the Emperor/Empress. Other Senators may do the work of an empty Senate position in the instance of no Senator in office at the time. All Senators are the de facto leadership of the departments, overseen by the Regent, who has higher authority than rank and file Senators, and at the dictation of the Emperor/Empress, who has the ultimate authority in all matters. <br />
<br />
*The '''Emperor/Empress''' is the head of state of the New Pacific Order and normally serves as the Delegate of the Pacific. The Emperor's authority is absolute within the branch. The current Empress is {{NS|Syberis}}.<br />
*The '''Regent''' is the Emperor's designated successor and is empowered to act on the Emperor's behalf should the Emperor be absent or delegate their authority. This Senator has higher authority than the rest of the Senate but is subordinate to the Emperor. This position used to known as the '''Consul'''. The present Regent is {{NS|Dio}}.<br />
*The '''Senator of Diplomatic Affairs''' is the top diplomat of the Diplomatic Corps and head of Foreign Affairs of the New Pacific Order. This Senator is charged with maintaining foreign affairs and is the authority on the matter with the exception of being subordinate to the Consul and Emperor. This position used to be known as the '''Legatus'''. The present Senator of Diplomatic Affairs is {{NS|SeasonsofLove}}.<br />
*The '''Senator of Internal Affairs''' is the director of the Internal Affairs department and is liable to be held by multiple individuals to cover Outreach and Recruitment as well as other internal affairs matters. This position was previously known as the '''Senator of Cultural Affairs''' (Pontifex Maximus) and '''Senator of Admissions and Personnel''' (Censor) before the merging of these two Senator positions. The current Senators of Internal Affairs are {{NS|Ghost Queen}}, {{NS|Pathonia}}, and {{NS|Callisto}}.<br />
*The '''Senator of Military Affairs''' is the military commander of the [[Legio Pacifica]], the military of the New Pacific Order. This Senator has complete autonomy in the position unless it becomes a matter of Foreign Affairs or the Regent and Emperor contradict the will of the current office. This position used to be known as the '''Praetor'''. The Senator of Military Affairs is currently vacant.<br />
<br />
Advisory positions of honorary Senate can be granted to retired Emperors and Empresses. The present qualifiers for this position are {{NS|Ivan Moldavi}}, {{NS|Lord of Darkness}}, and {{NS|Marina}}.<br />
<br />
===Exarchate===<br />
The Exarchate/Leadership is organized of the former Governors and the non-Senate heads of the departments of the New Pacific Order. Other non-Officer additions may be considered based on meritorious conduct and great contributions to the Order. There is no hierarchy in the Exarchate, but it is considered mid-government level in the New Pacific Order. The Exarchate presently aids the Senate as well as managing their own tasks as assigned by roles overseeing the departments. Present Exarchs are {{NS|Sitethief}}. {{NS|Primeval Revenant}} and {{NS|Elegarth}} have equivalent authority in their role as Security Officers.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
*The '''Cards''' department is intended to add more culture to the branch and enable citizens to work together to complete collections in regards to the card game of NationStates.<br />
*The '''Diplomatic Corps''' liaises with foreign regions as friendly representatives of the Order. The Senator of Diplomatic Affairs and Regent are responsible for formulating foreign policy and negotiating formal agreements with other regional governments and hold absolute authority over all foreign affairs relations.<br />
*The '''Internal Affairs''' department covers recruitment efforts, outreach to Pacificans, and management of internal events and affairs.<br />
*The '''Outreach''' division was created to help bring in more recruits and help integrate the onsite Pacificans to join the offsite Pacificans. This department took over the responsibilities of the old Praetorian Guard. It was folded into Internal Affairs.<br />
*The '''[[Legio Pacifica]]''' is the military of the New Pacific Order in NationStates. They primarily operate against fascists or the occasional enemy of the Order depending on circumstances. Advancing a career in Legio Pacifica is achieved through meeting qualifications set to ensure top tier officers.<br />
*The '''Pacific Lyceum''' is directed towards recording and promoting engagement with the history and culture of the New Pacific Order<br />
*'''Security Officers''' are not a department as such, but a collective of trusted individuals who will maintain higher endorsements and assist in handling matters involving border control where is fitting. <br />
<br />
====Retired Departments====<br />
These are departments that were retired when they were either superseded by their replacements or no longer served a purpose.<br />
<br />
*The '''Praetorian Guard''' originally monitored applications for Pacifican citizenship and the Pacific at large for violations of NPO's Civil Code. This has been replaced by the Outreach department and volunteer citizens.<br />
*The '''World Assembly Squad''' once reviewed proposed [[World Assembly]] legislation and advised the Emperor how to vote in their capacity as delegate of the Pacific. The WA Squad also edited drafts of WA proposals written by its own members. This position has been defunct almost immediately following its establishment.<br />
*The '''Culture Department''' previously focused on cultural events internally and externally. It was folded into Internal Affairs and Events.<br />
<br />
==Foreign Relations==<br />

==Regent==<br />
The Regent is the only other office explicitly created in the Charter of the New Pacific Order. The Regent is the designated successor to the Emperor and has the authority to act in the Emperor's stead if the Emperor is absent. Except when acting in the Emperor's stead, the Regent does not have any explicitly defined powers, and has traditionally been considered an equal of the other Imperial Officer.<br />

The Emperor cannot be expelled from the Order, can pardon members from Article III invocations, and can expel members at will.<br />

The Regent is the only other office explicitly created in the Charter of the New Pacific Order. The Regent is the designated successor to the Emperor and has the authority to act in the Emperor's stead if the Emperor is absent. Except when acting in the Emperor's stead, the Regent does not have any explicitly defined powers, and has traditionally been considered an equal of the other Imperial Officer.<br />

<div>This page displays the government history of the {{NSp|New Pacific Order}}, with the majority of defunct positions not shown.<br />
<br />
==Emperor/Empress==<br />
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as Delegate of [[the Pacific]].<br />
<br />
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. {{NS|Warrior Thorin}}, most notably, and others referred to Francos Spain as "Emperor," but there are no records showing Francos Spain used that title for himself. During the [[People's Republic of the Pacific]], the equivalent term was Senator of the Delegacy. The title has thus been retroactively awarded to Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan.<br />

The '''New Pacific Order''' found its beginnings in [[NationStates]] in August 2003 after the effective founder of the Order, [[Francos Spain]], mechanically seized the oldest region in the game from sitting delegate Thedoc and began the process of establishing a new government. The NPO has always been primarily based in and maintained sovereign control over [[The Pacific]], a Feeder region in the game from which it takes its name.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Main|History of the New Pacific Order in NationStates}}<br />
The New Pacific Order was founded on September 1, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Although it has operated under several names and charters since, the Order has maintained a politically continuous government since its founding. Francos Spain, the founder of the New Pacific Order, seized the Delegacy of The Pacific from defender delegate Thedoc. He proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while internal allies Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly behind the scenes. Francos Spain's seizure of the region caused a great uproar in NationStates and he found himself under attack on a regular basis by players from many players across many regions. He repelled all attempts to take it back. His original major supporters aiding in keeping the region secure and intact were Infernoice and Poskrebyshev. The opposing side and major opponent to the fledgling Order was [[The Pacific Army]], with notable figures Thedoc and CrazyGirl as members. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support, although other groups tried individually as well.<br />
<br />
After a time all the forces opposing the New Pacific Order either fell apart or ceased to hold interest in fighting. This would, of course, not be the last time the New Pacific Order would face the ire of the NationStates community. When Francos Spain eventually departed from the game, Unlimited and the other Senators from his time founded the People's Republic of the Pacific. The PRP is sometimes referred to as a golden age by older players in the modern day. During the era of the PRP, relations were formed with regions that were hitherto opposed to the Order. The excellent PR and FA work by Sir Paul and Unlimited in particular led to the acceptance of the New Pacific Order in a community that had once been overtly hostile.<br />
<br />
The rise of the game CyberNations dealt a blow to NS NPO, as it drained a good deal of talent and activity from the region. This was a period that lasted until 2015, almost nine years of struggle. Despite the efforts of multiple talented Emperors and their Senates, resuscitating the region proved to be difficult. However, for any internal activity issues, the New Pacific Order remained politically connected and was caught many times subverting the "sovereignty" of other regions. Sometimes this had consequences and other times not so much. 2015 marked a turning point where after the collapse of the New Lazarene Order, an effort to declare ownership of Lazarus executed by Senators Feux, A mean old man, Karpathos, and Milograd along with future Senator Pergamon and Feux's friend Stujenske, activity abroad funneled back to The Pacific. <br />
<br />
It was not until 2018 that controversy would return in full. After years of turbulent dealings with raiders and divisions between independent regions and The Pacific, it culminated in a firestorm of attacks on The Pacific and its government. This marked the end of an era for The Pacific, as the successor to the beleaguered Aleisyr, Lord of Darkness, put an end to the foreign games played by predecessor governments. After that point, the New Pacific Order gradually rose from a region in fortress mode to a powerhouse of foreign affairs led by a strong Senate that pursued good relations abroad and built new relations with regions that previously expressed dislike towards The Pacific. To this day it remains a force of neutrality and refuses to get involved in the primary metagame that stirs controversy in the game, raiding and defending. In a position of solid standing and remaining a neutral power is the state of affairs now and will remain so for as long as the New Pacific Order in NationStates continues. Lord of Darkness later passed the delegacy to Xoriet, who was the first Empress of the NS NPO branch. Xoriet then passed the seat to Marina, who is the current Empress of the New Pacific Order in NationStates.<br />
<br />
==Charter==<br />
{{Main|Charter of the New Pacific Order (NationStates)}}<br />
The Charter of the New Pacific Order is the supreme law of the Order and [[the Pacific]]. NPO adopted its current charter in January 2019.<ref>{{forumlink|NPO|topic=178525-new-charter-of-the-new-pacific-order/}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
{{Main|Government history of the New Pacific Order in NationStates}}<br />
{{Main|Departments of the New Pacific Order (NationStates)}}<br />
<br />
===Senate===<br />
The Senate of the New Pacific Order is normally comprised of the '''Emperor/Empress''', the '''Regent''', and a flexible team of Senators. <br />
<br />
None of these positions are required to be filled at all times save the Emperor/Empress. Other Senators may do the work of an empty Senate position in the instance of no Senator in office at the time. All Senators are the de facto leadership of the departments, overseen by the Regent, who has higher authority than rank and file Senators, and at the dictation of the Emperor/Empress, who has the ultimate authority in all matters. <br />
<br />
*The '''Emperor/Empress''' is the head of state of the New Pacific Order and normally serves as the Delegate of the Pacific. The Emperor's authority is absolute within the branch. The current Empress is {{NS|Syberis}}.<br />
*The '''Regent''' is the Emperor's designated successor and is empowered to act on the Emperor's behalf should the Emperor be absent or delegate their authority. This Senator has higher authority than the rest of the Senate but is subordinate to the Emperor. This position used to known as the '''Consul'''. The present Regent is {{NS|Dio}}.<br />
*The '''Senator of Diplomatic Affairs''' is the top diplomat of the Diplomatic Corps and head of Foreign Affairs of the New Pacific Order. This Senator is charged with maintaining foreign affairs and is the authority on the matter with the exception of being subordinate to the Consul and Emperor. This position used to be known as the '''Legatus'''. The present Senator of Diplomatic Affairs is {{NS|SeasonsofLove}}.<br />
*The '''Senator of Internal Affairs''' is the director of the Internal Affairs department and is liable to be held by multiple individuals to cover Outreach and Recruitment as well as other internal affairs matters. This position was previously known as the '''Senator of Cultural Affairs''' (Pontifex Maximus) and '''Senator of Admissions and Personnel''' (Censor) before the merging of these two Senator positions. The current Senators of Internal Affairs are {{NS|Ghost Queen}}, {{NS|Pathonia}}, and {{NS|Callisto}}.<br />
*The '''Senator of Military Affairs''' is the military commander of the [[Legio Pacifica]], the military of the New Pacific Order. This Senator has complete autonomy in the position unless it becomes a matter of Foreign Affairs or the Regent and Emperor contradict the will of the current office. This position used to be known as the '''Praetor'''. The Senator of Military Affairs is currently vacant.<br />
<br />
Advisory positions of honorary Senate can be granted to retired Emperors and Empresses. The present qualifiers for this position are {{NS|Ivan Moldavi}}, {{NS|Lord of Darkness}}, and {{NS|Marina}}.<br />
<br />
===Exarchate===<br />
The Exarchate/Leadership is organized of the former Governors and the non-Senate heads of the departments of the New Pacific Order. Other non-Officer additions may be considered based on meritorious conduct and great contributions to the Order. There is no hierarchy in the Exarchate, but it is considered mid-government level in the New Pacific Order. The Exarchate presently aids the Senate as well as managing their own tasks as assigned by roles overseeing the departments. Present Exarchs are {{NS|Arthropyria}}, {{NS|Dushina}}, {{NS|Mouse}}, {{NS|Sitethief}}, and {{NS|Tebeat}}. {{NS|Primeval Revenant}} and {{NS|Elegarth}} have equivalent authority in their role as Security Officers.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
*The '''Cards''' department is intended to add more culture to the branch and enable citizens to work together to complete collections in regards to the card game of NationStates.<br />
*The '''Diplomatic Corps''' liaises with foreign regions as friendly representatives of the Order. The Senator of Diplomatic Affairs and Regent are responsible for formulating foreign policy and negotiating formal agreements with other regional governments and hold absolute authority over all foreign affairs relations.<br />
*The '''Internal Affairs''' department covers recruitment efforts, outreach to Pacificans, and management of internal events and affairs.<br />
*The '''Outreach''' division was created to help bring in more recruits and help integrate the onsite Pacificans to join the offsite Pacificans. This department took over the responsibilities of the old Praetorian Guard. It was folded into Internal Affairs.<br />
*The '''[[Legio Pacifica]]''' is the military of the New Pacific Order in NationStates. They primarily operate against fascists or the occasional enemy of the Order depending on circumstances. Advancing a career in Legio Pacifica is achieved through meeting qualifications set to ensure top tier officers.<br />
*The '''Pacific Lyceum''' is directed towards recording and promoting engagement with the history and culture of the New Pacific Order<br />
*'''Security Officers''' are not a department as such, but a collective of trusted individuals who will maintain higher endorsements and assist in handling matters involving border control where is fitting. <br />
<br />
====Retired Departments====<br />
These are departments that were retired when they were either superseded by their replacements or no longer served a purpose.<br />
<br />
*The '''Praetorian Guard''' originally monitored applications for Pacifican citizenship and the Pacific at large for violations of NPO's Civil Code. This has been replaced by the Outreach department and volunteer citizens.<br />
*The '''World Assembly Squad''' once reviewed proposed [[World Assembly]] legislation and advised the Emperor how to vote in their capacity as delegate of the Pacific.

<div>--The list must follow this format:<br />
-- *Game/category blocks separated by a series of at least one hyphen on its own line<br />
-- *Game/category name on its own line at the beginning of the block<br />
-- *Each position on its own line as follows:<br />
-- position name - position holder(s) separated by a comma and space<br />
-- Optionally, each position holder can have a specialization specified in square brackets preceded by a space, e.g.<br />
-- Position - Person [duties], Some Guy, Other Person [other duties]<br />
-- Therefore, names cannot contain square brackets.<br />
-- *Do not pluralize position names, and don't use abbreviations. These are added in Module:Government.<br />
-- *For a position that is defined but currently vacant, leave the line blank after the separator ( - ).<br />
-- *Empty lines can be used for readability and will be ignored.<br />
--The intention is that the list can be maintained elsewhere and copy-pasted here when an update is needed, or vice versa.<br />
--To smoke-test changes, type =p in the console below and press Enter. It should return "table".<br />

<br />
==First Council (February 2006 to February 2007)==<br />
Council members chosen monthly for both the War Council and the Alliance Council. Under the [[Past Charters of the New Pacific Order (Cyber Nations)|First, Second, and Third Charters]], the War Council was tasked with carrying out the plan for wars, while the Alliance Council was tasked with day-to-day operations, diplomacy, and admissions and dismissals of members. This first Council system ended on February 15, 2007.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/restructure-of-the-npo-r57/ Restructure of the NPO]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}}, February 15, 2007</ref><br />

==First Council (February 2006 to February 2007)==<br />
Council members chosen monthly for both the War Council and the Alliance Council. Under the [[Past Charters of the New Pacific Order (Cyber Nations)|First, Second, and Third Charters]], the War Council was tasked with carrying out the plan for wars, while the Alliance Council was tasked with day-to-day operations, diplomacy, and admissions and dismissals of members. This first Council system ended on February 15, 2007.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/restructure-of-the-npo-r57/ Restructure of the NPO]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}}, February 15, 2007</ref><br />

==First Council (February 2006 to February 2007)==<br />
Council members chosen monthly for both the War Council and the Alliance Council. Under the [[Past Charters of the New Pacific Order (Cyber Nations)|First, Second, and Third Charters]], the War Council was tasked with carrying out the plan for wars, while the Alliance Council was tasked with day-to-day operations, diplomacy, and admissions and dismissals of members. This first Council system ended on February 15, 2007.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/restructure-of-the-npo-r57/ Restructure of the NPO]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}}, February 15, 2007</ref><br />

<br />
==First Council (February 2006 to February 2007)==<br />
Council members chosen monthly for both the War Council and the Alliance Council. Under the [[Past Charters of the New Pacific Order (Cyber Nations)|First, Second, and Third Charters]], the War Council was tasked with carrying out the plan for wars, while the Alliance Council was tasked with day-to-day operations, diplomacy, and admissions and dismissals of members. This first Council system ended on February 15, 2007.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/restructure-of-the-npo-r57/ Restructure of the NPO]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}}, February 15, 2007</ref><br />

==First Council (February 2006 to February 2007)==<br />
Council members chosen monthly for both the War Council and the Alliance Council. Under the [[Past Charters of the New Pacific Order (Cyber Nations)|First, Second, and Third Charters]], the War Council was tasked with carrying out the plan for wars, while the Alliance Council was tasked with day-to-day operations, diplomacy, and admissions and dismissals of members. This first Council system ended on February 15, 2007.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/restructure-of-the-npo-r57/ Restructure of the NPO]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}}, February 15, 2007</ref><br />

<div>'''''The Meritocratic Times''''' was a news publication by The New Meritocracy, an organization in the early days of NationStates. While most of the issues appear lost to time, we are archiving those issues which could be found on the now-defunct [https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/udl/ United Defenders League forums].<br />
<br />
==Issue #1 (August 17, 2004)==<br />
<br />
Editor: Sarda<br />
Contributing Writers: Soigacas & Free4All<br />
<br />
First off, I would like to thank all of the people that helped make all this possible. Primarily Soigacas for getting the highlight of our first ediction, secondarily Free4All for helping us conduct a no less interesting interview himself, and thirdly my source in the New Pacific Order for revealing some of the more intimate details of their plans.<br />
<br />
There are of course others that helped make the News & Opinion Agency the viable entity it is today, and I hope they wont take offense at my lack of specific mentions.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I want to ask everyone that can to contribute whatever they can. If you've felt the motivation to interview another nation you work with, we'll publish the result. If you'd like your opinions heard, we'll publish them. Please everyone keep this in mind, we're on the look out for anything of quality and substance... or just something that speaks to our hearts!<br />
<br />
Thank you all again, and I hope you enjoy my first story here, and the two interviews we had the priviledge of procuring for our first issue:<br />
<br />
===NPO Considers Democratic Governor System====<br />
<br />
The Unlimited Delegacy having been secured in the Pacific, the NPO's remaining Senators set their sights on extensives reforms within their government, and among their priorities was a revamped and revitalized governor system.<br />
<br />
Among early plans for the governor system were individualized boards, small sub-governments within each governor's province, and even a Governor's Council to be chaired by a new Senator. It has been brought to my attention through an anonymous source in the Senate, that a decision is being neared, and that decision will likely favor an unheard of system within the NPO government.<br />
<br />
Right now, the Senate at large is leaning towards adopting a democratic governor system. In addition to a democratically elected Governor, the people's choice for the position will potentially appoint his own Provincial Cabinet, made up of local nations filling critical duties in the Pacific's region sized provinces. How ever this democracy will be applied, whether through provincially restricted votes or a Senate/Governor vote on who to accept for each position, it means a radical change in the direction of the NPO.<br />
<br />
During the time of the NPO's government in the Pacific, there has never been an elected government, which has brought stability and the unfortunate malice of many other organizations to the Pacific. Perhaps this change in direction for the Pacific's localized government will promote higher activity, greater general support, or maybe the long-fought for stability of the Pacific will be sacrificed. Right now no one can say for certain what such a decision could entail, but we can all expect numerous and sweeping changesin the NPO in the days to come.<br />
<br />
===Interview with Max Barry===<br />
<br />
The following is an interview conducted by our own Soigacas with Max Barry. You can see his personal questions, along with numerous more contributed by myself and others. Please enjoy, and direct any comments here or specifically to Soigacas.<br />
<br />
The Meritocratic Times has had the rare oppurtunity to speak with Max Barry; writer, Australian and creator of NationStates. In this exclusive interview, he talks about NS2, his shoe size and why Francos Spain stands out in his mind. The questions were all submitted by Meritocratic Senators.<br />
<br />
'''Meritocratic Times''': Why was the Meritocracy form of government not included in the original game? (Soigacas)<br />
<br />
'''Max Barry''': Because as I understand it a meritocracy doesn't map very well to a particular point on our three-axis freedom grid. Basically what I did was come up with the grid first and then think of labels for them. A meritocracy I guess is reasonably libertarian, but then depending on the particulars of how it's implemented, it could have a lot of freedom in some areas or be restrictive. For example, do you outlaw private funding of campaigns to ensure that political candidates compete on their merit and are not helped or hindered by how rich their backers happen to be? Or do you assume that people are wealthy because they are economically meritorious, and thus there should be no campaign finance restrictions? I think it would be difficult to pick a point and say, "Okay, if your country has this combination of political, economic, and personal freedom, it's a meritocracy."<br />
<br />
There are quite a few government/society types like this that are pretty cool but don't fit into a particular slot on the freedom scale -- theocracy, matriarchy, technocracy, etc.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': How would you like to improve NS, in a way that is currently impossible?(Soigacas)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': Well, the most basic thing I would do if I was writing NS from scratch is to use a database, so we could do more powerful searching and nation analysis. People are always asking for obvious things like to be able to search for nations using wildcards or to change their nation name; because of the way I wrote the code, it's just not possible.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': Who would you vote for in the American elections?<br />
<br />
'''MB''': I would vote for Kerry, because Bush has done a lot of damage to America's reputation abroad and that two-party system doesn't allow you to seriously consider voting for anyone else. (The US needs an instant-runoff voting system, it really does.)<br />
<br />
'''MT''': What about the British ones?(Soigacas)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': I don't know enough about UK politics to comment on that one.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': What are your perceptions of the rise of independent government systems operating outside the systems of NS that remain viable merely because of general acceptance? (Sarda)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': If you're talking about the various brands of non-region alliances between nations, I think it's awesome. In fact, if I ever get NS2 up, that's the area I want to expand the most -- I want to provide a framework that allows players to develop their own international political systems that are as simple or as complicated as they like.<br />
<br />
By the way, I don't think you should say these things work "merely" because of general acceptance -- that's the basis on which pretty much the entire world operates. Like banks; we all accept that we'll get our money back if we deposit it in one, and if people stop accepting that there's a run and the bank collapses. Or currencies; it's generally accepted that a US dollar is worth something, so it is. In some societies, particular behavior is generally accepted to be normal and in other societies it'll get you arrested. Even at the international level, diplomacy (the forming of agreements) is enormously important, because as dominant in military terms as (say) the US is, it couldn't survive an attack by a collection of other countries. So the most interesting part of a game like NS2 for me is allowing nations to make and break complex alliances in the pursuit of their goals. And letting the players decide what is "good" or acceptable and what isn't.<br />
<br />
One idea I have for NS2, for example, is to have several different game worlds. And players have enough autonomy that some game worlds might develop a stable world order and others descend into chaos and anarchy. It would be fascinating to look at that and ask, "Okay, how come this world is peaceful and that one is fighting World War 8?"<br />
<br />
'''MT''': What are your thoughts on the fact that NS has extended the practice of national government into regional governments? Did you expect such an event to occur when first devising the NS system? (Sarda)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': Well, I didn't expect much when devising NS -- I certainly didn't expect it to become anywhere near as popular as it has. I love the way people have taken the game and used it as a foundation to build more complex political structures on top of it (the Meritocracy is a prime example). It means the gameplay is far deeper and more involving than it would be otherwise.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': Shoe size? (Sarda)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': It's 11 in Australia, but I'm not sure how that translates. Sometimes 12. Once I bought a pair of sneakers that were size 14, but I think the manufacturer must have had some weird proprietary numbering scheme. I'm 6'2" so I have big feet.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': How do you feel about the evolution of the game? Wereyou surprised to find that it's become so popular? (Bumpy)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': Surprised, then thrilled, then horrified. Especially in the beginning, the growth was just out of control. The game was more or less doubling in size every few days, so I would work really hard to fix some terrible major bottleneck and the next day there'd be a brand new one. It was very stressful.<br />
<br />
In a way it's also been a drag on development of the next game, because I'm still involved in the running of NS and it eats a fair bit of my time. So there are down sides to being this popular. But overall, it's incredibly cool to have this enormous community set up camp on my site and turn a creaky little nation sim game into something spectacular.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': Have any of the multitude of RPs in the thousands of regions of NS created any grist for the publishing mill (Bumpy)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': I've never been inspired to rip off an RP, no. But some of them are pretty amazing. It would be great to collect the best of them somewhere.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': Do you have any Nations in the game? (Obviously the Names need not be disclosed) (Bumpy)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': Yes.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': What 3 Region Crashing/Destroy incidents do you thinkwere the worst(did the most damage)? (Evans)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': I actually don't know, because I'm not involved in that side of things -- that's the job of our trusty moderators. I do remember some truly horrific region-crashing in the days before Region Control, though, because people would set up their region just the way they wanted it -- to RP a particular way -- and some idiot would land there and proceed to spam it into oblivion. This was basically just griefing, not invasions the way we think of them today. Invading has become more organized and, well, almost civilized compared to the early days.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': Out of all the nations throughout the history of the game is there a specific non-Mod nation that sticks out in your mind? If so, why?(Evans)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': There are plenty, for various reasons. Marathon, Francos Spain, Ballotonia, Loop, Grated Cheese... plenty of nations have exerted a particularly strong influence on the game or the community. Others, which I won't name, are memorable for being truly enormous pains in the butt.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': If you were not Max Barry and just a regular person with no real connection to the game is there any group or region that you would join and if so why? (Evans)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': Well, I do play the game to some extent. My nation tends to move around to where things look most interesting. But in truth I've always enjoyed making games more than playing them!<br />
<br />
'''MT''': Many thanks for giving this interview! Any last<br />
thoughts? (Soigacas)<br />
<br />
'''MB''': Thanks; it's good to have the opportunity to speak to you guys. I'm so impressed by what you've done with your region. I keep looking at it for NS2 inspiration.<br />
<br />
===Interview with Free4All===<br />
<br />
The following is an interview I had the privilege of conducting with Free4All. In it, I try and explore more of his opinions of the game today and his actions in the game as it was in the past. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.<br />
<br />
'''Meritocratic Times (MT)''': Hello Free4All, thanks for helping us out!<br />
<br />
'''Free4All (F4A)''': I thank you for your hospitality, the pleasure is mine.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': 1) How long have you been intimately involved with world regional governments?<br />
<br />
'''F4A''': As Ambassador I've had the pleasure and honor to represent Holland and/or Nederland for quite a long time. On June 6 2003 I began my representation of my home region(s) at The Meritocracy which also marked the start of our formal presence on the world stage. Prior inter-regional affairs had mostly been limited to casual and friendly contact with other Dutch-language regions. Soon after my arrival at The Meritocracy I observed a new organization lead by Thomasia, called the Allied Liberation League (A.L.L.), which sparked my curiosity. After some debate on the pro's and cons my region decided to join. After all this time, the A.L.L. is the only inter-regional alliance we've ever joined, and we remain as commited as ever to its founding principles.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': 2) When A.L.L. became active, what were your opinions of the other like minded organizations of the time? Invaders?<br />
<br />
'''F4A''': Like most regions, Holland (later: Nederland) started off quite oblivious to the dangers invaders posed towards our happy little region. When our view of inter-regional affairs extended itself beyond the serenity of the Dutch-language regions it dawned on us that there were threats out there to our sovereignty which had to be dealt with if we were to maintain the basic freedoms all nations in Holland and Nederland cherish deeply. Similarly we were appalled to observe how the independence of nations in other regions was being violated by imperial-minded invaders.<br />
<br />
At first, we did not act against invaders out of fear that we might become a target ourselves, and we were happy to have gained allies by joining the A.L.L. However, when we witnessed invaders from Blue Moon initiating a state of total chaos in the peaceful Dutch-language region Pallas Athene we knew that standing by idly simply meant that one day these violent nations would come to visit our shores, and having allies to help one out doesn't protect one from the horrors of war themselves. It is then my region decided that we needed to make a more active stand against invaders, and so we became active defenders. In that time the ADN was a group of not-so-active regions combined under a non-democratic leadership. The SCDT was something we regarded more as an imperial organization than one aimed at actual defense for the benefit of sovereignty for others. The RRA, well, back in those days they had just been founded and simply were invaders. Thanks to the efforts of Lord Tom the ACC at that time was making an attempt at being a defensive organization, though we did remain very cautious about them.<br />
<br />
''MT''': 3) What is your current technical involvement with A.L.L., and in your position what responsibilities are you charged with?<br />
<br />
'''F4A''': The A.L.L. is an alliance of equals, and as Voting Representative I am merely representing Nederland towards our allies within the A.L.L.<br />
<br />
I also have the honor of being Vice-Chairman of the A.L.L. In the A.L.L. the Vice-Chairman has two responsibilities: arrange for elections to happen when needed, and taking over from the Chairman in case of an emergency. That's all. The only real power the Chairman has is the ability to pull any decision from a committee and placing it for the entire membership to vote upon. This hasn't happened yet, nor is it supposed to happen often. The A.L.L. is supposed to function as an alliance of like-minded regions, and representatives are supposed to focus on cooperation to get things done they agree should be done. There are very few arguments within A.L.L., as there's no internal politicking to argue about. There is no official leader who has power over others. Nobody has the personal authority to enter A.L.L. into agreements with other alliances, nor is any person capable of ordering another region to do something. At most we can remind an ally of an obligation agreed to per the charter, of which there is only one: mutual defense. Helping out a fellow A.L.L. member under siege or occupation is mandatory. The A.L.L. is thus an alliance which generaly doesn't tell members what to do, but instead provides them with a venue in which they can get defensive efforts done.<br />
<br />
As co-Admin of the forum I perform simple tasks to maintain the forum and changing user permissions when required.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': 4) How do you envision A.L.L.'s interaction with other regions and organizations a year from now?<br />
<br />
'''F4A''': Right now the only other organization the A.L.L. has a formal interaction with is the ADN. Through general membership consensus the A.L.L. agreed to recognize the shared ideals between ADN and A.L.L. by titling the ADN as an allied organization, despite the drastically different nature of both organizations (the ADN being a membership Republic, not an alliance). Several of A.L.L.'s member regions are also a member of the ADN, so cooperation is virtually seamless. A year from now I hope cooperation is still as good. I do not expect any other organizations or regions to become titled as allied with the A.L.L. Regions may join as members, while there isn't any organization I know of which could become a partner in operations close enough to warrant a similar titling as the ADN. I do not expect the A.L.L. to ever sign a formal treaty, as the A.L.L. doesn't have any political goals to provide a reason for doing so.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': 5) As a matter of public interest, what is your opinion of the new NPO government? Where do you see the NPO a year from now?<br />
<br />
'''F4A''': Personally, I see no major difference between the current and the previous NPO government. Unlimited has a proven record of dishonesty, versus Francos Spain having a record of ruthlessness. I expect the oppression of the nations in The Pacific by the NPO to continue for as long as they can do so. Next year I expect the NPO to reside in The East Pacific, they will have either taken over from 1 Infinite Loop or have ousted him by force and/or treachery, and they will have lost their control over The Pacific.<br />
<br />
Note: the A.L.L. has no formal opinion on the NPO.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': 6) What is your opinion of the ADN as it is today, and how would you describe the ADN's growth from its comparatively humble beginnings to today? Where do you see the ADN a year from now?<br />
<br />
'''F4A''': When I first observed the ADN, it was a mostly dormant organization combining mostly tiny regions. The improvements since then have been both in terms of quality and quantity. The ADN today in no way resembles the organization it was so long ago.<br />
<br />
For a while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nederland was seriously considering applying for membership in the ADN. Uncertainty on exactly what regional and national sovereignty would have been rescinded by doing so, as well as concerns regarding certain parts of the constitution of the ADN (like the term duration and powers of elected officers) eventually lead the Minister to decide against initiating a vote within Nederland on whether to apply for ADN membership.<br />
<br />
A year from now I expect the ADN to be by far the dominant political entity within NationStates.<br />
<br />
'''MT''': 7) Shoe size?<br />

<br />
The most immediately pressing issues of news in the past weeks, have been the amazing events in the NPO, and the enormous changes the Pacific will be seeing in the days to come. Our first piece showcases the opinions of most of our current Senate officers, regarding their thoughts and feelings of the NPO. As a journalist though, it is my responsibility to inform you that since these opinions were put forward, certain events may have changed some people's perspectives. Since this is the case, the Meritocratic Times may at some point amend these positions to reflect any new perspectives of the polled individuals.<br />
<br />
We in the News & Opinion Agency hope you enjoy our second issue, and we again encourage anyone and everyone to submit their own works, opinions, and criticisms at their convenience.<br />
<br />
===Senate Officers Speak===<br />
<br />
The following question was answered by Senate Officers Unistrut, Cortath, and NewClarkhaller:<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts on the NPO as it is today, and how do you expect it to evolve in the future?<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
The NPO has recently undergone some regrettable turmoil, but is on the right track towards stablilization in my opinion. It is my hope that they will continue down the path toward openness and freedom, and join with the rest of the NationStates world in making a true effort of inclusion in spite of game mechanics.<br />
<br />
Cortath wrote:<br />
The NPO today is an expansionist, imperialist power. They have sought, through subterfuge, lies, and a myriad of other distasteful tactics, to hold on to and expand their power. They have attempted, thrice, to infiltrate this Senate, something I, as both Senator and Quaestor, am not allowed to forget easily.<br />
<br />
The NPO of tomorrow may be the NPO of today, or they may choose to go down a path that leads to free elections, democracy, freedom of speech and residence. Can one tell? No. This is not the first time the NPO has "changed", and mayhaps it own't be the last. I am cautiously optimist and wary. On the one hand, I offer Unlimited my moral support should he truly be reforming, on the other hand, I watch for the next invasion or take-over of our ALL or any other allies in the NPO's next drive for expansion.<br />
<br />
I have nothing but the deepest sympathies for everyone involved in the NPO, due to the tradegy, but that does not blind me from what they have done or what they may or may not do in the future.<br />
<br />
NewClarkhaller wrote:<br />
The NPO has clearly experienced a great change, the results of which remain to be determined exactly. Right now, the NPO seems to be opening up and loosening its draconian restrictions on civil and political liberties. However, it is still a harsh and authoritarian regime which stands against the core values of many meritocratic nations (though not necessarily the core values of The Meritocracy as a whole). The NPO as it is now, is thus only marginally better than the NPO of yestermonth...and that only because it is weakened due to the loss of its top leaders.<br />
<br />
If the trend towards democritization continues however, the NPO might well emerge from its long diplomatic isolation and reverse the mistakes made nearly a year ago. The stigma of its rise to power might be ameliorated and the NPO welcomed into the peaceful and free NS world.<br />
<br />
In the end however, only time will tell if this is a genuine push for reform of simply another NPO ploy. <br />
<br />
===Meritocratic Consular Elections===<br />
<br />
Though the Senate's Consular elections have always been issues of great importance, never before have we seen such a varied pool of potential candidates and such a large and diverse group of nominees. At the moment, the following candidates have been nominated and/or seconded:<br />
<br />
Nominated/Seconded:<br />
<br />
* Aesculapius (nominated by Iscariot, seconded by Yoco)<br />
* B4kst4br (nominated by Bumpy, seconded by Pittsland)<br />
* Camozayo (nominated by B4kst4br, seconded by Nuclear Industrial)<br />
* Evans (nominated by Pittsland, seconded by Bumpy)<br />
* Eli (nominated by Soigacas, seconded by Old Lutheran)<br />
* Glasguensis (nominated by Hipposhire, seconded by Eli)<br />
* Kitimat (nominated by Evans, seconded by FreeTrade)<br />
<br />
In the past two elections, Evans and Glasguensis both faired well, but were eventually prevailed upon by their more mainstream, prominent opponents. Considering the Senator from Kitimat's general tendancy to refuse nominations, Evans and Glasguensis may have a chance to secure the Consulship. Other less known faces in such elections include former Deputy Director of the MIA, B4kst4br, and more extreme Senator Camozayo. Aesculapius, as founder of ECON, may also gain a significant bloc of votes from his former position as Alderman and perhaps usurp other Consular hopefuls.<br />
<br />
Everything considered, this promises to be one of the most exciting elections to date. <br />
<br />
===Meritocratic Economic Primacy===<br />
<br />
After reviewing generally accepted data, and enduring extensive discussion, the notes of the Meritocracy's general economic supremacy have rung out.<br />
<br />
Among the Senate's most notable positions in the economic world, are the following nations:<br />
<br />
* Absinthe House, a nation held under the purview of the Meritocratic nation Sarda (founder of the Sardaukar Confederacy, the Meritocracy's fourth province), is currently ranked as having the most powerful currency in the world.<br />
* Wolfsreich, a Senate nation, is currently ranked as having the fourth most powerful currency in the world.<br />
* New Jasque, a nation held under the purview of former Senate Consul Jasque, is currently ranked as having the fifth most powerful currency in the world.<br />
* Aesculapius, a Senate nation, is currently ranked as having the eighth most powerful currency in the world.<br />
* Iscariot, a Senate nation, is currently ranked as having the ninth most powerful currency in the world and the sixth highest Gross Domestic Product in the world.<br />
* Sanctuary, a Senate nation, is currently ranked as having the third highest Gross Domestic Product in the world.<br />
* Brittania, one of the first Senate nations, is currently ranked as having the tenth highest Gross Domestic Product in the world.<br />
* Thomasia, a former Senate nation and one of the founders of the Meritocracy and the Meritocratic Isles, is currently ranked as having the fifth highest Gross Domestic Product in the world.<br />
<br />
Where the economic priorities of the Meritocracy will lead us all one day is as yet unknown, but it can be said with certainty that today, the Meritocracy reigns supreme as the dominant economic power in the world. <br />
<br />
===An interview with the Grendels, performed by Soigacas:===<br />
<br />
If you go to the World page, you're likely to spot him near the No.1 position, but what's behind the U.N. Ranking machine? We talked to The Grendels about origins, hate mail, and what's wrong with the US political system.<br />
<br />
- - - -- - - -<br />
Meritocratic Times: When did you start playing NS?<br />
<br />
The Grendels: December 21st, 2002 (meaning I’m not one of those population bug nations you also see on page one of the UN Reports)<br />
<br />
MT:What's the name all about? And the flag?<br />
<br />
TG: It’s simpler than you think. The Grendels were a term used for the collective humanoids menacing the Borderlands of a D&D Campaign I was in, along with the other founding nations of Wysteria. The flag, known as the rampaging wolf, was the third design I used for the Grendels and I get several telegrams a day about it (apparently people sit at their computer and just watch that wolf run, at least they tell me so). Being peopled by Gnolls, I wanted the Grendels to have a lupine flag and the one I currently use is perfect.<br />
<br />
MT:What is the term for the peoples of The Grendels? "Grendalian"?<br />
<br />
TG: Grendel or Gnoll would be correct.<br />
<br />
MT: How long have you been in Wysteria, and why did you choose the region in the first place?<br />
<br />
TG: A bunch of us, who were in a D&D group together founded a region of our very own and it grew from there. Given that it’s where my RL friends are I see no reason to move.<br />
<br />
MT: Have any other nations or regions caught your eye recently? If so why?<br />
<br />
TG: I’ve been trading telegrams lately with Peach Cobbler, the Founder of Boston and formerly the Delegate of Seattle. Besides being a nice guy, you just can’t look at that flag without asking yourself when the last time was that you went to a bakery.<br />
<br />
One of my favourite players is the guy who has the Dragon Alliance (the best flag in the Nation States World), who has a lot of very active and influential nations across the NS World.<br />
<br />
Sultane Gol is a region that has recently had my attention. A lady who regularly sends me telegrams hails from there and the political party system there is worth taking a look at.<br />
<br />
MT:What do your nation's citizens look like?<br />
<br />
TG: Gnolls<br />
<br />
MT: Shoe size(mandatory Merit. Times question, sorry!)<br />
<br />
TG: 9.345895690797433<br />
<br />
MT:What are your RL political views? Bush or Kerry?<br />
<br />
TG: Canadian Centrist. Were I an American it wouldn’t even be a close decision between a weak-brained corporate warmonging puppet, against a candidate with brains and a real service record. The Yale Skull and Bones Secret Society back both, so for them they win both ways. To quote someone from the 1996 US Presidential Election: “it’s about the Economy stupid.” Frankly, I’m a bit concerned with the kind of crazy corporate police state that the US is turning into. What you people need down there is some more serious political parties to get people more interested in politics. The two party system is a recipe for voter apathy and political corruption.<br />
<br />
MT: Thanks for speaking to the MT, anything else you want to add?<br />
<br />
TG: You wouldn’t believe how many telegrams I get a day! Only players like Sketch can truly comprehend the amount of love and hate mail I go through each day. I reply to all of my telegrams, often in an unpleasant and humiliating fashion in the case of the hate mail before adding them to my ignore list. I tell you I have an ignore list that would fill a large region.<br />

Aedile and Editor: Sarda<br />
Contributers: Sarda, Gates, and Jallalacks<br />
<br />
First off, I would like to thank again all those who have supported our efforts here in the times for so long. I'm glad our hopes for the agency have finally reached fruition. Specifically though, I have to thank Soigacas, who next to myself, has provided the most material and support for the Times since it's creation.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I would like to thank Jallalacks for stepping up as our first outside contributor to the times. Having said that, COME ON! I'll get g-mail accounts for the next five people to make contributions<br />
<br />
Thirdly, sorry we don't have any interviews for this issue. There's a lot going on around NS these days, and there are a few things I want to see happen so that our next new interviews are as hard hitting, and insightful as possible.<br />
<br />
Thank you all once again, and enjoy this, the third issue of the Times.<br />
<br />
Our first article today is a piece of my own composition, addressing the recent rise of the People's Republic of the Pacific:<br />
<br />
===The People's Republic of the Pacific===<br />
<br />
The old acronym, NPO, no longer applies to the Pacific. In the absence of Francos, and three of his first deputies in the Senate, the Senators appointed by him after the Pacific Revolution have taken it upon themselves to restore the Pacific. So, by the acts of Senators Unlimited, Mammothistan, Sir Paul, and the newly appointed Black Adder founded the People's Republic of the Pacific, on the foundations of the New Pacific Order. The first acts of this rejuvinated Senate, were the elevations of Governor Pierconium and Warrior Thorin to the Senate, the declaration of new holidays for the Pacific to celebrate as one, and the formation of a new and streamlined Governor system.<br />
<br />
Though the Senate has performed many acts since the foundation of the republic, the most sweeping change was the new governor system. Under the direction of Senator Warrior Thorin, the Senator of Internal Affairs, Governors are now democratically elected to their positions, and are charged with overseeing far larger sections of the Pacific. Where as under the NPO there existed twenty-seven Provinces, there are now only six. Where as under the NPO there existed only one Provincial office, there are now six, and Governors are granted the power to appoint even more.<br />
<br />
This paper announced four weeks ago that the NPO was planning a new governor system, one in which Governors are elected, but now we report on the entirety of this change. Perhaps, once more we may conjecture, the Pacific will gain new credibility in the eyes of its opponents, or perhaps this new limited democracy and the plans for a democratically elected Delegate will fall on deaf ears. Many nations of the Meritocracy and the ADN have shown their farsightedness so far, by gracing this new Pacific authority with their hopes and presence as unofficial good will ambassadors, but what may come later cannot be seen.<br />
<br />
Hopefully though, the people of the Pacific will be served, and the hatchett of former conflict may finally be buried.<br />
<br />
One of our headlines for the day is news of Gatesville's membership in the Union of Sovereigns Alliance! For those unaware, I am a member of the Gatesville High Council, while our own Christian Falangists is the Foreign Affairs Advocate of Gatesville, and is currently representing Gatesville in the Union's Governing Council:<br />
<br />
===Gatesville Joins the Union===<br />
<br />
Earlier this week, after a lengthy vote in the Lower Council of Gatesville, Gatesville joined the Union of Sovereigns Alliance. The High Council of Gatesville first put the vote forward to the Lower Council with its own staggering support in favor, and they were not let down when by unanimous vote, the Lower Council voted in favor of accepting the Union's invitation.<br />
<br />
The Union was first founded by the efforts of New Sparrow founder, Borogravia Moldavi, by not only his great region, but the Pacific and USSR as well. New Sparrow and USSR are world renowned as some of the most active and organized regions around, and the resources of the Pacific under their newest UN Delegate Unlimited, are almost just that: unlimited.<br />
<br />
Gatesville though, in stark contrast to New Sparrow and RedCommunist's USSR, is more like a Pacific region in its shear size and renown. Nations flock to Gatesville of their own volition, and it's UN Delegate: Rose-Colored Glasses, is the most endorsed nation outside of a Pacific region, in the world. Through their UN Delegate, Gatesville makes its presence in the UN known by swinging almost 300 votes.<br />
<br />
Like the Pacific, however, Gatesville has no standing army. Plans to build their own fast response forces have been whispered about, but nothing is known for certain. Despite this, again like the Pacific, Gatesville has enormous resources to draw on.<br />
<br />
Our third piece is easily the longest, and probably the most interesting. This is an opinion piece composed by our own Provincial Senator Jallalacks, which hits home on such issues as senator priviledges, frequent senate retirements, and even the new PRP. Our thanks to him for this contribution, and I would ask our readers to keep in mind that this was written about a week ago, when considering Jallalacks early phraseology.<br />
<br />
===From the Office of The Sultan of Jallalacks, Second dominion of The London Borough of Jixieland, located in The Sardauker Confederacy, Fourth Dominion of The Meritocracy===<br />
<br />
It is with a heavy hand that this Sultan writes. Within the past 48 hours two of The Meritocracy’s longest serving senators have resigned, adding to the tally of respected and established nations who have left The Meritocratic Senate in the past months. Both of these respected nations have left for reasons directly tied to the current direction that The Meritocracy is taking, and this, my fellow senators, should be a cause for prime concern.<br />
<br />
When Jallalacks first came into contact with The Meritocracy, it was, ironically, through the ADN. Several nations had the address of The Meritocracy’s home forum at the end of their signatures, and a visiting delegation there met with some surprise a governmental system that was both complex and unique within the Nationstates world. There is no other organisation which could be said to be more in control of its own actions than one in which the decision making body elects its own members. For The Meritocracy is a democracy like no other. All of the most active members of its region are senators – there is no interest for any nation within its borders to not be one if it wants to guide regional policy. Thus just about every nation who wants to be one is privy to most areas of governmental information, has a vote on every important issue and can have a stake and say in everything that goes on. This is rare, even amongst the most democratic of regions. For most democratic regions normally elect a parliament, headed or aided by a number of elected leaders. These people are elected by the populace at large, and normally such an assembly of nations only constitutes a small number of the nations interested within the region. The founders of The Meritocracy were both bold and imaginative in constructing the governmental system that they did.<br />
<br />
So when Jallalacks was founded with the specific intention of entering and exploring this most fascinating and established of regions, it sought advice from current senators on how best to gain sufficient respect within The Senate to grant it the citizenship vote. Following an arduous citizenship grilling from The Senate, (in which we were fortunate on being questioned on an area in which we happened to be particularly well informed) and the endorsement of several respected and established figures, we were, to the great jubilation of the Jallalacksian government, accepted into its hallowed halls.<br />
<br />
Upon our arrival though, the foreign policy analysts and specialists within our government immediately found themselves in a state of confusion. For it was very close to our arrival time that the nation of Jasque decided to depart (the two events are, to our knowledge, thankfully unconnected). Senators were making reference to the path The Senate was deciding to take, how it changed from when it was founded, how the original ideals were being lost and how it was no longer the respected organ it once was. At the time, new to The Senate, and still exploring its capacious halls we put aside such comments until we had found our way around the long corridors and various meeting rooms that make up the enormous Senate building. They abated somewhat for a few months, whilst we grew used to the politics that ruled here, but the concerns were always there, to be raised occasionally when another senator resigned.<br />
<br />
Now though, with the departure of Argyres, Unistrut and Maverick those concerns have grown to fears, and they can no longer be put aside, not by my government, or, I hope, anyone else’s. It is time, upon the eve of a consulship race which offers more choice in candidates but seemingly limited in policy, to work exactly what we mean when we say The Senate has lost its way. Because I for one still do not understand – what exactly is wrong? So many complain of The Senate in the manner described above, but so few offer a reasoned explanation of the nature of the problem. Densim complained of the erosion of national sovereignty – how? I have yet to see The Senate pass any law which remotely affects the domestic, or indeed foreign, policy of any nation. The Senate has never forced any nation to undertake military action against its will, never forced any nation to vote in any way other than what their government chooses, and has never demanded a united front against foreign entities from its numbers – indeed we freely express our liking or disliking of The Meritocracy’s position in any number of forums foreign to our own.<br />
<br />
But while we have maintained our national sovereignty in my opinion, some have argued that we have lost our regional autonomy. Again, how? We have signed the Alliance Defence Meritocratic Accord, it is true. But do these ‘foreign entanglements’ really threaten our own ability to make decisions? The ADMA requires The Senate to undertake military action should either one of its signatories suffer attack from an ‘aggressor’ as defined by the Alliance Defence Meritocratic Declaration on Justified War. Though some claim that the title itself is a contradiction in terms, it is the continuing belief of the Jallalacksian Government that all of the above ‘entanglements’ are in fact beneficial to The Senate in so far as they provide for a goal of mutual co – operation, respect, and a closer working relationship between what are otherwise two very different organisations (although national holiday prevented us from voting on the ones concerned with the ADN).<br />
<br />
But what has been questioned is whether or not we do in fact have foreign policy goals similar to the ADN – and indeed, whether or not we want to have a definite foreign policy at all. Many have called for the Senate to operate a policy in all foreign ventures of neutrality, although the Consul for one has scoffed at the idea throughout. The most obvious example of this is in the current hostility between the ADN and the PRP (formerly the NPO). Debates into this are inevitably focused upon the various connections that various senators have with either body, and as a result several vicious debates have been centred not around logic or argument, but personal character. I will deal with this later, but for the moment I wish to comment on this most divisive of issues in a manner that I hope will elicit proper debate as opposed to vicious slander. The principal matters for concern in this area is firstly whether or not we allow members of the PRP into this senate, and secondly exactly how closely we want The Senate to be tied to the ADN. On the first count, it is my firm belief that the PRP has undergone a massive leadership change in previous weeks, and we should not seek to judge too hastily those that might apply here who make their membership of that organisation known. We must give the PRP time and space in which to reform itself – something that the NPO never had. If a member of that organisation applies here, passes through the vetting procedure and shows proper merit in his/her application, we see no reason why that nation should not be afforded citizenship. On the second count, the first thing I must stress is that having a close relationship with the ADN does not mean that we must be anti – PRP. On the contrary, there is nothing in our relationship which could constrict our own choice in members or our ability to vote as we choose. And as explained above, the PRP is not the same organisation as the NPO. We should not be hasty in our judgement of its members. To really address the issue of whether or not The Meritocracy is a defender organisation, we must look at our own values – do we not value our own regional autonomy and sovereignty? Do we not recognise the democratic right of regions to elect their own leaders? The answer to both must surely be yes – why then, should we not offer support and refuge to those nations which find themselves subject to such loathsome attacks as are visited upon them by the likes of invading regions? I do not of course speak of compulsory military action by Senators to help re take or defend such regions. That task is for the ADN, and those senators willing to volunteer, but there is no reason why we cannot aid such a task in providing intelligence necessary to complete such objectives, or indeed sharing intelligence in order to weed out potential citizens who are not so honest on their application forms.<br />
<br />
Another area of tension in this arena is of course the issue of divided loyalties, and whether or not members of either organisation would put the interests of their parent organisation before that of The Senates. Indeed, some have claimed that such dual membership leads only to The Senate being manipulated into usage for either side. Personally, I do ascribe to this view, and neither does my government. The ADN might find great use in intelligence that the MIA might offer it, but there is no way it can call upon military action by The Senate’s members, so any advantage gained to the ADN is limited. Some have postulated that the ADN wants to control the Meritocracy, and such a position should be met with nothing short of laughter. As explained above, the potential benefits of control is limited when The Meritocracy exists as it does. In fact, it is my firm belief we should not only accept, but actively welcome those who have commitments elsewhere. It is first of all an indicator of experience and acceptance in another organisation (and provides a useful way of keeping track of a citizenship candidates past record and suitability to a senate seat) and also helps forge closer ties with other entities outside our own. If such commitments are kept in the open, then there is little problem provided the senator is willing to take the necessary steps to avoid a conflict of interest (which given the number of consul candidates offering a stance of neutrality, is unlikely). However, the issue here is, again, about the ADN.<br />
<br />
The ADN – PRP relationship is one that inspires great tension and passion throughout the NationStates world, and given the multi – national make up of The Senate it is hardly surprising that such passion finds itself within these halls as well. This is no excuse for what has recently been passed as debate in senate chambers, when in actual fact all it has been is vicious sniping and character assassination. Unnecessary legal action designed to de rail the Senate’s will undoubtedly falls within this category. It should be stressed that this sort of thing is not limited to either side – indeed I have seen loathsome statements from members of both organisations (although most thankfully outside the chamber). It is the belief of the Jallalacksian government in this regard that those Senators who cannot act with proper decorum in a debating chamber do not deserve to be Senators – it should not be considered a problem for The Meritocracy as a whole that a few bad eggs should ruin an entire basket.<br />
<br />
Where it might worry us is that it is always us who voted such nations in, and as a result (as with every decision taken by The Senate) when votes are proven wrong, we have only ourselves to blame. How to address this issue? It should be noted that the capability to remove a senator for actions like this do not really exist as such. I feel the best course of action is a pressure to resign, and statements that make clear the inappropriate nature of a senator/senatrix’s post. Beyond that, we must trust our own judgement when it comes to citizenship.<br />
<br />
However, we do not believe that we should be overly concerned with the influx of senators from other organisations, or indeed that The Senate suffers from a foreign policy problem in particular. No, we believe that it is in citizenship, and the new senators that we appoint that the future of this senate truly lies, and the breathing of ‘new life’ into the senate demands not a change in foreign policy, or a change in the law or legislation but a change in the way we view each other as senators, and a change in the way we allow ourselves to grow. Allow me to explain. Why, for example, do we constrict ourselves to a limited number of senators from which to draw cabinet positions? I speak of course of not allowing provincial senators the ability to apply and work for the same positions as others. The New Meritocracy might be the capitol region, but that does not mean that those who reside there are worthy of any more merit than those who might reside in The Sardauker Confederacy. I recognise Jallalacks has something of an inherent interest here, but there are those who would benefit The Senate greatly if only we would allow them to do so – Sarda being the obvious choice. It is worth remembering Cortath was also a provincial Senator before moving so as to be appointed Queastor – why on earth should The Senate invade national sovereignty to the extent it does in this regard? Why create a two – tier senate? I have seen no reasonable explanation for it all.<br />
<br />
Following on from this, why is it that The Sardauker Confederacy is the only region which has applied to be a Meritocratic Province? There is again no reason we cannot advertise the possibility of providing the security and stability to a region that might otherwise desire it, and if we allow senators from there the same rights as normal Senators, as such a position would be highly advantageous to both parties – us because we increase our size and influence, and them because they receive the protection and stability of a region as well established and respected as this one.<br />
<br />
To change tack slightly, but in staying with our list of beliefs, we should widen the field from which potential Consul Candidates can be proposed. We recognise that it’s not such a problem in this election, but we all remember the problems at the last consul race, when Unistrut very nearly won unopposed. Again, why the need to have served as a deputy in another’s consul term? There are many who have never done so but equally well qualified, and who have spent an equally long time serving The Senate in various ways. It is up to us to recognise such service, and not tie our hands with needless regulation such as this.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the citizenship process itself. Jallalacks would never seek to propose legislation which any requirements beyond what is currently necessary, or indeed change Senators votes, but we normally feel that previous experience in other NationStates organisations counts strongly in a candidates favour, and we lean towards meriting argument and debating skills, rather than political views which actually play little role in The Senate. Furthermore, to raise the citizenship bar, we would recommend the setting up of a Citizenship Committee, to actively seek out and invite individual nations to apply whom it feels are worthy of attention. This does not necessarily need legislation to do (nor must it change the application process itself), and given the vast number of connections that various Senators hold, I am certain that following an active rather than passive stance towards citizenship we will benefit hugely.<br />
<br />
My fellow Senators and Senatrixes, I thank you for your time, and can only hope that due attention is paid to these issues on the eve of this race, and hope that some candidate adopts the ideas that we have proposed. I apologise for the long windedness of these proposals, and again thank you for reading through them. <br />

===The North Pacific Delegacy===<br />
<br />
An interesting forum headline regarding the North Pacific's change in delegacy.<br />
<br />
Only a few days ago, the United Nations delegacy of the North Pacific, the largest region in the world, shifted from Thel D'Ran to Sydia. Sydia, a long time member of the North Pacific, and one of the most active nations on the North Pacific forums, exceeded Thel D'Ran's endorsements and received the former delegate's blessing. It was a long held and vocal sentiment of Thel D'Ran to shift the delegacy successfully under the North Pacific's new government, and it's realization has convinced many of the longevity of the North Pacific's democracy.<br />
<br />
What things can be said of Sydia's policies today are not much, and I'm sure we wont be seeing sweeping changes to the North Pacific government, but this delegacy change marks a great even for the people of the North Pacific.<br />

First off, I would like to apologize. This paper is missing a few sections due to ongoing restructuring of the MT Team. Secondly, I would like to thank you for taking the time out to read these articles. Enjoy!<br />

===Peace In Our Time===<br />
By our Foreign Reporter, Ivan Moldavi<br />
<br />
With the recent loss of Francos Spain, leader of the New Pacific Order, a chapter in NationStates history has come to a close.<br />
Luckily for those citizens of the Pacifics a new chapter has begun. With the creation of the People’s Republic of the Pacific a new thrust for peace among all the feeder regions has begun.<br />
<br />
Talks between the Pacific and the west Pacific have been ongoing for several weeks now and today (Sept 22) the first formal peace agreement between the two super-regions went into effect. The end result of countless discussions between the leadership the west Pacific and Black Adder, head of Diplomatic Affairs for the Pacific.<br />
<br />
While peace has been sought out and gained between these two regions, past alienations and conflicts stalled talks between the Pacific and the north Pacific earlier in the week. While things look grim today there is still hope that peace will prevail.<br />
<br />
In other interregional treaty news, the Union of Sovereigns has admitted the region of Gatesville into their group and issued formal invitations to two other regions.<br />
<br />
The Allied States of EuroIslanders, primed to leave the Alliance Defense Network later this week, have started renegotiating their long standing peace treaty with the region New Sparrow.<br />
<br />
SECO troops, the military unit of New Sparrow, moved into The Rejected Realms earlier this week in support of the legal Delegate, Kandarin. Kandarin is also receiving support from several volunteers from the Meritocratic Legions, the A.L.L. and the A.D.N. (The Rejected Realms is a member of the A.D.N.) This move to support Kandarin has rejuvenated the ideals of “Defender Unity”, a term coined by A.D.N. Director Pope Hope. The Rejected Realms is currently under invasion by Carinthe of The Young World.<br />

===Interview with Yaroo, Leader of "The Grendels"===<br />
By our Deputy Interviewer Mark Jellicle<br />
<br />
Meritocratic Times: Greetings, Mr Yaroo. Thanks for granting us the privelge of speaking with you.<br />
<br />
The Grendels: “Yes of course, I always make myself available to the Free Press,” smiles the Warleader Yarooo intentionally showing his teeth to the feline, while opening an envelope and examining some photos. “These photos don’t do justice to your beautiful family, oh yes the interview, let us continue.”<br />
<br />
MT: First off, I'd like to ask you about The Grendels' economy - how does it work?<br />
<br />
TG: “Like the Universe itself oiled its gears!” exclaims Yarooo. “We are the mightiest Superpower of the Nation States World! The Grendels succeed because I give our citizens every chance to succeed and our warrior code has successfully made its transition into the boardrooms of our corporations. We have the greatest industrial base and do not rest on our laurels, pushing the envelope of technology and marketing. The Indomitable Borderlands even includes an enclave of capitalist humans, living in a walled off land, where we can test a lot of products intended for our human markets. We do not accept mediocre performances. Not from employees, not from CEO’s, and certainly not from the Government!”<br />
<br />
MT: What about your political system?<br />
<br />
TG: “I am the political system,” answers Yarooo in an irritable fashion, strumming the claws of his fingers on the desk. “I appoint the District Warlords, who report to the Corporate Council. The Provincial Warlords are ruled by the Clans.”<br />
<br />
MT: Are you a peaceful people?<br />
<br />
TG: “That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all week,” laughs Yarooo. “We are an extremely militant people, living by the warrior code. Free citizens compete for the honour of performing in our gladiatorial games or to hunt Dire Bears with ancient weaponry. Boardroom assassinations are common and are only prosecuted if the victim was proven to excel in their role. The Grendel Expeditionary Forces have been quick to mobilize in a number of conflicts across the Nation States World. No, I do not think many Gnolls would consider themselves peaceful.”<br />
<br />
MT: Do you think the public support you?<br />
<br />
TG: “Of course they do,” replied a shocked Yarooo. ”Have I not taken my people to economic dominance of the Nation States World. Just ask any of them. They will all speak well of me.”<br />
<br />
MT: How are your relations with your Wysterian neighbours?<br />
<br />
TG: “Given that I’ve magnanimously agreed not to wipe my neighbours off the face of the World without cause, I’m very well liked. While I may easily find myself allying with aggressive powers in conflicts outside of Wysteria, I don’t believe in fouling my nest and ruining my relations with my regional neighbours. I may have participated in a few regional conflicts, naval blockades, and threatened to vaporize the odd satellite, but most nations love the Grendels. Except of course for some of those feline nations, who took offense for our recipes for kitten, but that was a simply a cultural misunderstanding.”<br />
<br />
A slightly worried MT: Would you ever consider joining the UN?<br />
<br />
TG: “Do you even know who you are talking to?" stared Yarooo in disbelief "The Grendels would never be a part of the defective organization known as the United Nations. It would interfere with our continued mission of the Model State.”<br />
<br />
MT: Thanks again for speaking to us!<br />
<br />
TG: “Yes it has no doubt been a pleasure for you,” suggests the Warleader. “My attaché assures me that we have some wonderful parting gifts for you, to remind you of your visit.”<br />
<br />
===An Alliance Returns To Its Roots===<br />
<br />
By our Foreign Reporter, Ivan Moldavi<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network, long an example of defender unity against the invader hordes has taken another step on it’s long road of history.<br />
On September 16th, 2004 Pope Hope, Director of the A.D.N. announced an immediate suspension of the A.D.N. Constitution and declared Martial Law. In her statement she cited a decrease in actual defensive military activities as one of the primary reasons for this move. Using a “grass-roots” stump speech approach she called for the various factions within the alliance to put aside their differences and invited them to move forward with her and her home region Nasicournia in an old direction.<br />
<br />
Returning to it’s roots as a purely military defender alliance the A.D.N. leadership said “Constitutionalists be damned, we are here to fight, not talk” and took the multiregional group by the horns and steered them back into the light.<br />
<br />
Of course, as with any political movement and governmental suffling, there were casualties and may yet be more to come. The Allied States of EuroIslanders, a long time member and the largest player-created region within the A.D.N., announced that irreconcilable differences with the administration have led to a vote of formal withdrawal from the group. Others, like newly elected President of Greece, Karpathos, were less diplomatic when withdrawing their regions.<br />
<br />
It has been discussed that several other regions, such as England and Aurora, are contemplating their position within the network.<br />
Some are calling this drastic move away from representative democracy a travesty, others simply point to the original Mission Statement of the Alliance Defense Network and state that the bulging bureaucracy that was the A.D.N. was never it’s intended purpose. The drift away from regional defense and security towards interregional government was a mistake according to some. Only history will decide who was right and who was wrong.<br />
<br />
This reporter remembers the author of that original Mission Statement, he went by several names, Damon Wrathborne, TheProfessor and William de la Birches. But his most memorable moniker seems most fitting with this rebirth of the Alliance Defense Network, Phoenix.<br />

===The New Senate===<br />
By our Meritocratic Reporter, The Sultan of Jallalacks<br />
<br />
Fellow Senators, I no longer have the heavy hand of one who has seen multiple resignations – I no longer decry the prophecies of doom that waft through the hallowed halls of our great chamber. No, Senators and Senatrixes, I am no longer as concerned with the pessimism of some of this chamber.<br />
<br />
Why, you might ask? After all, those who have resigned because they disagreed with the Senate are still, well, resigned, and only one has decided to come back (and its debateable how much that nation left because it disagreed with the Senate’s position, and I cannot of course, speak on their behalf). The same people are still here, we still suffer from the occasional outburst of flaming and discourteous behaviour between Senators.<br />
<br />
What has changed is that we have come out of that dark period just before the Consul election (and a few days after it) just about in one piece. We have a new administration, with new, capable people in it, that ugly court case has now ended, and will soon be forgotten, and the wrathful arguments over the ADN – PRP relationship have, for now, abated.<br />
<br />
It seems that these times of temporary crisis are cyclical, and many Senators of longer standing than I have made reference to this possibility. To support this claim, it is possible to look at the similar crisis of faith that emerged at the end of Jasque’s second consulship – spurious legal action, personal insults, and vicious factionalism…sound familiar? Yes, it does. What we viewed at the end of Unistrut’s term was simply another round of in –fighting that will occur from time to time. It is, of course, possible to avoid, and not always necessary, but bear in mind the amount of time this senate has been around, the various crises it has gone through, before we start to say that the Senate is doomed.<br />
<br />
However, many of the original problems I laid out in my previous article, are, as yet, still present. The ADN and the PRP are still at each others throats, and what with the recent upheavals in the ADN, it is only a matter of time before arguments over this fire up again. So what to do? Well, we can for a start observe some courtesy this time when approaching this issue. I cannot yet comment, for the current crisis between the ADN and the ASE has led to my approval as a posting member being delayed – but enough of that. There is no need for me to hark on the problems of Jallalacks’ sister states outside this body.<br />
<br />
So we move on to the other problems I outlined – the small pool from which Consul candidates can be drawn for example. As it turns out, the current consul has proved exemplary in his term so far, providing insightful comments on all areas of policy. But when steps down, it will be from the same limited pool – why the restrictions? Few so far have outlined their purpose. On the same issue, we also have this provincial senator status, of which we are a part. A partial explanation was provided by the honourable senator from Dope for this, but its principle argument, that it is designed to allow UN nations to reside in a Meritocratic province, falls down on the fact that no provincial senator can be a member of the UN, and no one, myself included has suggested anything different. A senator from a region where UN membership is allowed amongst non – senators is no different to a senator from a region where one is not.<br />
<br />
Why then does Jallalacks not join the MoIP and propose legislation that would change this? Because we feel that these must be issues that the whole senate must be aware of before change is begun. Thus my parading in the Meritocratic Times.<br />
<br />
Change has been seen in Citizenship, the Bureau of Public Relations in particular. This meritorious action is one which we should support and throw our full support behind – citizenship is the single most important area that defines our future as a body, and it is due cause for celebration that we recognise this.<br />
<br />
Thus, it is with hope and optimism that this administration begins its term. Let us hope it continues ever thus.<br />

===Editorial===<br />
<br />
Due to recent events, this issue of the MT has been delayed for some time, and there has been little contributed by the Senate. I would like to preface this issue by announcing that I have appointed B4kst4br as Aedile to replace Sarda, who replaced Soigacas, who replaced Sarda, who replaced IR, who replaced Altair, who replaced Sarda...<br />
<br />
I know that B4 will do an excellent job for the next issue. But until Issue 7, and without any further ado, I present what I hope will be a running serial by our new Aedile, The Lonely Elf:<br />
<br />
===The Lonely Elf, Part 1===<br />
by B4kst4br<br />
<br />
Running through the forest, heart thumping; pulse racing. Valandil looks back, nothing there. “What do I do now? Well first I need to stop running.” Valandil slows down till he’s at a stop. The sweat is water falling down his face, who would have known that he would be running from a troll? Just suddenly it was there and…<br />
<br />
The troll’s club splinters the tree not five feet from him. A frightful shriek comes from the black hole of the troll’s mouth. ‘Wow, that smells’, Valandil thinks. Before the trolls can react, Valandil drew his hardened bow, released three arrows in the direction of the troll and took off. Dodging from tree to tree, jumping over logs, and avoiding animals, he dives behind a tree and melts into the shadows.<br />
<br />
The troll wanders over in the area of Valandil. He shuffles by Valandil’s tree, sucking in air through his grimy nostrils trying to locate him. Valandil smiles an evil smile. He whispers, “you should have stayed where you belong,” In hearing that, the troll perks up, then jerks his club; trying to swing at the tree. The club barrels around the swing and turns the medium tree into saw dust. But the troll sees no elf. It wonders, ‘where is puny elf? I want smash him!’<br />
<br />
As if Valandil could read the thoughts of the troll, “I’m up here!” The troll looks up to the next tree to see a drawn bow, the release, and nothing else.<br />
<br />
The troll’s lifeless body tumbles backward until it hits the ground. An earth shattering Ka-boom is heard throughout the forest. Valandil Mutters to himself, “If a troll dies in the forest with no one around…” He snickers, “ha.”<br />
<br />
===Tribune Elections===<br />
by election supervisor Sir Hippocrates MacKai<br />
<br />
At the opening of nominations, incumbent Tribune Old Lutheran, who had been serving the remainder of NewClarkhaller's term, looked to be secured a victory. Glasguensis withdrew his candidacy and Bumpy remained only in order to give the Senate an alternative. At the time I could not have predicted such a close election as this one turned out to be. Senator Bumpy of Bumpivania came very close to winning the hard-fought elections, with 18 votes to Old Lutheran's 21. Camozayo received 4 votes, Pittsland received 5. Three Senators abstained. Turnout was very impressive, with 51 of 70 Senators voting in the most close and eagerly anticipated election of this Senator's career.<br />
<br />
===Senate News===<br />
by the bureaucrat Censor who is comfortable writing this sort of thing<br />
<br />
The Senate voted 15-14-6 to remove the provincial status of the province "The Meritocracy, falling short of the 2/3 vote required. Following complaints that the vote was conducted improperly the Censor declared it void. The second time around, following more controversy, the Senate voted 27-10-2 and The Meritocracy had its provincial status removed. Consul Aesculapius enacted the Emergency Legislation Act to put forward a bill to terminate the ADMA treaty and bypass the MoFP. The Senate voted 30-10-4 to annull the treaty (75% support).<br />
<br />
The Senate approved the Citizenship Transfer Act, requiring Senators who wish to change the nation they represent to resign and reapply. Article X of the charter was amended to revise military organisation. The Senate voted down an amendment to force the Consul to put treaties before the MoFP. The Senate voted 15-11-7 to pass the Role Play Freedom Act. It is hoped that this piece of legislation will help to avoid future court cases resulting in RP misdemeanors. The Senate voted 34-2-3 to repeal the MIA Membership Act, which set a limit on the membership of the MIA.<br />
<br />
The Senator from Nem was approved as new Director of Public Relations. Siempre was granted citizenship on his fourth attempt. The Senate voted 24-9-7 to make Siempre a Senator, despite his long-standing service to the PRP. The Senate rejected Daikerta for citizenship for a second time. The Hall Monitor, once discovered to be former Senator Unistrut, was voted down by a massive majority of 93%, with 41 Senators voting against (3-41-8). Citizenship was also granted to Petrovya, Borealium, Dilber II, Yamba and Of The People-F.<br />

===Meritocratic Poll===<br />
Meritocratic Times Staff Writer Soigacas<br />
<br />
Earlier this week, Unistrut re-applied for citizenship. Given his history (both positive and negative) we asked the Senate:<br />
<br />
Give us your views on Unistrut's application for citizenship?<br />
<br />
Here are a range of the responses we received:<br />
<br />
* Once a Meritocrat, always a Meritocrat.<br />
* I am not pleased about it - he cannot waltz back in and expect to regain control.<br />
* I support it.<br />
* He is a silly little boy who is sulking because we did not play his game his way! He was attempting to rattle our chain, if he had gotten in he would probably have done as much damage by attempting to get thrown out and generally messing us around. Something he continues to do for no better reason that he know he is anoying us. Like I said, he is a sulking child.<br />
* Unistrut is a duplicitous scoundrel. Hell-bent on bolstering his own ego, he embodies arrogance and is only amiable when it benefits him. He somehow manages to portray himself to the more impressionable Senators as the victim to a system bent on bringing him down. He is no tragic hero; he reaped what he sowed. To bring him back would be an epic mistake unless of course divisiveness is cherished.<br />
* (Feel free to cite my name.)<br />
* Like him or not, he's a hell of a player, and a great asset to our group. I'll be voting AYE<br />
* The only thing more surprising, more astonishing and more disappointing than him applying again is the high level of support he seems to have here. I cannot believe that people could seriously consider welcoming him back after the ADMA invocation, the Hall Monitor subterfuge, the anti-MIA propaganda, the secession of "The Meritocracy" and everything else he has done to attack and undermine our organisation.<br />
* Should have seen it coming. Surprised, but should not be. WTF??? what does he really want?We have some time to determine motives.<br />
* Really made me do a gut check on what I believe.<br />
* I think he's rough around the edges, and maybe even a little Machevellian, but Unistrut is generally honest and worthy of being Senator.<br />

===Introducing the International Progressive Thinktank===<br />
Xiang Gang<br />
<br />
IPT, the International Progressive Thinktank was established on November 28th.<br />
<br />
It will be a forum for progressivism - the political ideal of finding what will make things better and doing it. Join up!<br />
<br />
On the agenda:<br />
<br />
1. Progressivism and Taxation<br />
2. Progressivism and Devolution/Federalism<br />
3. Progressivism and Security<br />
<br />
My views:<br />
<br />
1. Progressivism and Taxation<br />
--- Taxation should always be on goods and services - 25% for example. Each person then receives a fixed sum of money in rebate - thus creating a tax which is not regressive, yet also cheap and simple to administer.<br />
<br />
2. Progressivism and Devolution/Federalism<br />
--- Federalism and high-level devolution create intra-national inequalities and vast, complex and overlapping multi-level bureaucracy. It is necessary that central institutions define law and localised, grassroots bodies apply this fully to their specific situation whilst retaining a small number of powers such as local town planning. They must therefore have a certain represenation in central institutions.<br />
<br />
3. Progressivism and Security<br />
--- Our security is important, but not paramount. We should not be so paranoid about what may happen and should not sacrifice our principles of law to ensure our assets and lives are protected. We must work to find solutions to end problems which pose real dangers to our lives through dialogue and discussion.<br />
<br />
What about you?<br />
<br />
===Free Trade===<br />
Akilina Bay of the Constitutional Monarchy of Sexanddope<br />
<br />
While I believe in Free Trade that is almost certainly because I live in an industrially developed nation. Of course it was the advocation of Free Trade that made Britain Great and gave it an empire, but that was in an age when Britain was the most developed industrially and had a virtual monopoly on many industrial practices. In reality Free Trade only works amongs nations who have a roughly equal level of development. This does not have to all be industrial but the nations in a free trade agreement must be generally equal on a broad development scale. It is no use having a Free Trade agreement between, Brazil and USA, for example, as most if not all the benefit would go to the USA! Their financial clout would mean that they would get all Brazils agricultural output for 20 SUV's a year! (exaggerate for effect).<br />
<br />
The effect of Free Trade in an unequal market is that the poor get very poor and the rich get very rich, as in the scenario of the garment workers in the Philippines. I am fortunate, (some would say extremely) to have been raised in developed nations, and I would be loathe to forgoe my luxuries, my PC, my Car, my houses, my NHS. As that is what is required if we are to avoid a world wide revolution!<br />
<br />
Revolution from Free Trade? How absurd! I don't think so, with modern communications becoming available to a majority of the world, the poor, even the extremely poor, now know there is another way, life is not about surviving, it can be about so much more that getting enough rice! As they learn this and become resentful to those of us with more than the basics, they become easily persuaded by those with another agenda. The rebels, the freedom fighters, the terrorist. When these organisations are put down with shock and awe type weapons a sense of utter futility takes over, when enough people feel that futility they band together and eventually become a force!<br />
<br />
Of course it may not come to revolution, the extremely poor people of this world who are being used as extremely cheap labour, come, in the main, from China and the Indian subcontinent. Those nations are starting to realise that such a large population is a weapon mightier by far against a capitalist opponent that a missile!<br />
<br />
The balance at the moment is we, (the west), need their labour to give us our cheap products, and hence standard of living; they need our money to attempt to step up to our level. Soon now, (and some already have), the futility of that attempt will come home, they will realise that the west will never allow them that step, they cannot afford to, as to do so would mean sacrificing their highly valued standard of living, as we will not pay the amount for those products that this step up would require. When they do that they will realise, (most already have) there is no military option, that leaves economics, between India and China there are 2 billion people, almost a third of the worlds population. That is a very powerful weapon, it just needs a clever person to lead it as a single unit and the revolution the religious extremists currently on the fringe are attempting to start will no longer be neccesary.<br />
<br />
What is the cure? If I knew I would be a highly paid politician! However there really will need to be a balance of wealth in the medium scale if the world is not to avoid major conflict. This could take two options, our governments see it coming and rather than give a pittance in aid force their companies to start paying a living wage to all their employees. This would mean that 90% of the west can no longer afford luxuries, no personal cars, no PCs, houses are basic and furniture is home made, food is a lot less, (but probably more healthy). The other option is that the emerging nations India and China club together and refuse to export to us, but tie themselves together and become in internal market, this in turn would have a disastrous effect on the developed nations possibly causing meltdown. Of course the danger in the latter is the governments involved would see that as a threat and take the, to them logical step; invade to secure their sources, first thing to do of course is to secure a flow of oil, so they would have to invade an oil rich nation.............................................<br />

A funny thing happened to me last week as I was walking home from the Senate chambers. I was passing nearby to the Active Residents Group when I noticed some new construction amid a bunch of dusty buildings. "O.K." I thought, "it's worth a look-see, I've never seen any of this before."<br />
<br />
The sign on the building was intriguing, "Evil Lair Bar". I was feeling evil that day and hey, if you can think of anything more evil than an off-duty Spelling Cop let me know. I'll be waiting here while you think, unless I die of old age first.<br />
<br />
I had evil peanuts and an evil drink, but there's lots more on the menu. Go on, give it a try if you're feeling evil. You'll be glad you did.<br />

===My Opinion by Ivan Moldavi===<br />
A commentary through the eyes of a true doctrinaire.<br />
<br />
''Disclaimer: While I will be taking past experiences and present duties into account these articles will be written from my perspective as a Senator of The Meritocracy. The opinions expressed herein are my own and are not necessarily representative of any group that I belong to outside of the Meritocracy or any group that I have belonged to in the past. While personal bias will be prevalent throughout, this is not meant to be defamatory against any group or persons and should be taken with a grain of salt. I am known to be harsh and unrelenting, I expect no less from my readers.''<br />
<br />
Today I wish to speak about my vision for the future of The Meritocracy. I wish to express my opinion of what neutrality is in relation to our Senate and the NationStates gaming world at large. Further, I would like to elaborate on my personal views as an isolationist.<br />
<br />
First, let’s speak on neutrality. What is neutrality in a game? Some say it is not taking a stand or not having a “backbone.” I disagree with this. It is my opinion that being neutral is one of the harder positions to be in within the NationStates world. It is not a weakness. It does not make one cowardly to stand back and proclaim that they will not be influenced by outside forces into going to war or supporting one group over another. To say otherwise is an error. The definition of neutral states very simply, not aligned with either side in a controversy, not belonging to either side in a conflict. Why is this opinion such a threat?<br />
<br />
Many, including our Consul, think that my affiliations with certain outside organizations influences my decisions and votes in this Senate. That is a falsehood. How does my opinion that The Meritocracy would be better off without outsiders influencing our actions make me such a horrible person? How is it such a horrible thing for the Senate? The interventionist can hide behind their rhetoric for all eternity for all I care, it doesn’t make me wrong or them right. We recently discussed the dissolution of the ALL and MACTO, two alliances that the Senate signed onto a long time ago and that really have no tangible benefit to The Meritocracy. How can I say that, you say? Because the former Consul’s handpicked Alliance Inquisition team did extensive research and voted a recommendation stating just that. I will note that I was intentionally left off the AIA team because I had an obvious bias against the alliances and would possibly have skewed the results. The team that was selected was hailed by many to be a true collection of a representation of the Senate. So why was their recommendation trampled on? Some, including me, would say it is because the leadership of the Senate is “controlled and influenced” too heavily by outside groups. Don’t take my word for it. Look around. Also, take a look at which ministries all the new Senators that are also members of outside groups have been applying for. Some could call what is catamount to stacking a Ministry a conspiracy, some don’t see the sudden interests in the FDC and MoJ as such and that is fine. But, back to the matter at hand.<br />
<br />
So I am an isolationist. I believe the Senate should remove itself from any and all military alliances immediately. I do not believe the Senate should be compelled to put forth a good faith effort, or indeed any effort, if it doesn’t wish to. Again, I fail to see how that is such a horrible ideal. I am not stating that The Meritocracy should declare war on the ALL and ADN and join up with the PRP, even if some would like to make you think that is my intent. I have said countless times I am against all such treaties. I would not be a party to the Senate signing a military alliance with the Pacific, New Sparrow or any other region in this game.<br />
<br />
Thus, I have created M.A.D.D. or Meritocrats Against Diplomatic Density, a group that has only one member and is fine with that. (It would be a bit ironic to have an isolationist group solicit for members I think.) Our motto is simple, The Meritocracy for the Meritocratic Senate! We do not concern ourselves with affairs outside of the normal exchange of diplomats. We do not concern ourselves with the development of an army to go around the world in hopes of imposing our ideals on other regions. We do not let our foreign policy be dictated to us by treaties that force mandatory participation in actions the outsiders deem suitable. (For the record, I will never put forth a "good faith" effort in any defense unless I deem it worthwhile.) We are dedicated to the rebuilding of The Meritocracy from within. We pursue avenues that will hopefully be catalysts to increased activity in the Senate.<br />
<br />
We never falter on the ideal that this place belongs to the Senate and the Senate is the ultimate authority here. We will not waver. We will never yield.<br />
<br />
===Alliances===<br />
Jasque<br />
<br />
Without our alliances, what exactly do our "international political and economic relations" consist of? The exchange of ambassadors? That is it. Nothing else that I can see is going on. I doubt any political scientist, when considering if a nation is isolationist, would consider the exchange of ambassadors as adequate "relations." Other than these simple exchanges, what does the Meritocracy actually do? What is it in favor of doing?<br />
<br />
Everything that this Senate is currently fighting for is withdrawal. The Senate is isolationist. It is isolationist to the extent that the internationalists have been reduced to the state of arguing robustly in the defense of the Allied Liberation League – a relatively inactive organization. THAT is our only meaningful international relation at this point Everything else has been dropped, destroyed, or, through inactivity, has decayed to near-nothingness.<br />
<br />
Take a look at our current direction. Everybody who is in favor of neutrality, take a look at your own actions. What foreign policy goals have you been proactive in? This does not mean debating your fellow Senators; it means going abroad in the name of the Senate. Have you actively created new relationships for the Meritocracy? Have you actively engaged in intelligence sharing; in interregional trade agreements; in defense of our friends; in what? All I have seen is withdrawal! withdrawal! withdrawal! There are not many fighting to expand our influence. How can we? We internationalist are reduced to defending the status quo with all our might. Most of what has been achieved is a result of the proactive actions of past Meritocrats. And it is slipping away.<br />
<br />
It was not always like this. Twice I was Consul, and once Quaestor. The Meritocracy was much more active in international projects during that time. Sometimes we would create these projects ourselves; sometimes we would join another group of people. But we were constantly engaged, and constantly looking forward. Today, all I see is a glance inward, and a hope that others will look in at the Senate too, and, on their own initiative, engage us. That is very idealistic, and it may happen that way from time to time. For the most part though, you must be proactive, you must take the initiative – you must go out and get involved in the world in order to get any recognition for your region. After all, there are over 14,000 regions in the game, and 123,000 nations. The world does not revolve around us, and it never has. If it seems as if it does, then credit must go to those in the past who have achieved success. We must always be willing to interact with other regions in some manner, or else we will be left alone. This is not what I want, and I do not believe it is what others want.<br />
<br />
The Allied Liberation League is a chance to cooperate with several of our friends. I do not believe most of you have ever even visited their board, much less signed up to contribute. If you had, you might realize that international politics is not what you think it is. It is not about mutual defense pacts that are only enacted once every year and a half. That is just the binding force to bring people together. The day to day affairs are much different. Above all else, the ALL creates a working relationship between several regions in the world, and creates potential for future cooperation. The benefits of these kinds of alliances are not primarily in self-defense. Not even for the founderless regions. The benefits are in diplomacy and political affluency. Two things the Meritocracy is in danger of losing.<br />

===Cortath Dies===<br />
<br />
Last weekend one of our investigative reporters noticed that the Nation of our Vice Consul, Cortath had died and been resurrected, thus apparently making the Senator from Cortath a non-Senator according to article III of the Citizenship Act.<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
III. - Inactivity<br />
Any Nation that ceases to exist while holding a seat in the Meritocratic Senate shall be considered to have ceded their right to Senate Representation and Meritocratic Citizenship.<br />
<br />
Both the Vice Consul and the Censor made statements for our reporter regarding this incident. The Vice Consul wrote:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
It was an honest and foolish mistake. I only log in to Cortath when I have diplomatic messages, such as the confirmation of Ambassadors' being duly appointed by the leaders of their government, etc., etc., and not expecting or having messages in that regard, I foolishly neglected to log in to that nation.<br />
<br />
The Censor wrote:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
I noticed it... but not until the nation was already resurrected. The deletion and resurrection were within 1 hour of each other. I sent the Senator from Cortath a message informing him of the close call, and saying had I noticed while the nation was still deleted, he would've been reported in violation. I decided if a nation dies and resurrects before I notice (since I check the territories at least twice per day), I will inform the Senator of the problem and issue a warning, rather than remove a Senator for something that has already been corrected. I will note that if the Senator had wanted to be sneaky, he could've moved puppets into and out of the New Meritocracy to hide his trail. He did not do so. That also factored into my decision. <br />
<br />
===Bumpy resigns as FDC===<br />
<br />
In a brief statement made in the morning of Christmas Eve, the Senator from Bumpivania announced that he was resigning as the Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs.<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate,<br />
Regretably I am faced with RL issues which conflict with my duties in the FDC. Therefore I am resigning, effective immediately. I will remain somewhat active in Senate affairs, but can not fullfill my obligations as Deputy Minister of Foriegn Affairs with the dilligence such a job requires.<br />
<br />
Sorry to let you down.<br />
<br />
We, at the Times, wish the Honorable Senator the best of luck in resolving his RL issues and thank him for his distinguished past service. We'll miss you Bumpy and we hope things work out for you.<br />

===TYW/RRA Interviews===<br />
<br />
by Meritocratic Times staff writer Soigacas<br />
<br />
Earlier this year, tempers flared and diplomatic skills were tested to the limit when The Youngworld's Army moved into the Rejected Realms. The Meritocracy played a vital role in diffusing tensions. But what is the background to the incident? We asked the Youngworld, the Rejected Realms Army, the Rejected Realms and the Meritocracy for their opinions.<br />
<br />
''Encyclopedians: TYW''<br />
<br />
TYW army had grown in strength due to the Great Blight defence, but without access to defender data, we didn't have any missions to go on. So Carinthe took it upon herself to start tailing some invaders, seeing if one would let a target slip.<br />
<br />
One day, Fleeb, the delegate of Iran got deleted, and some of the invaders that Carinthe was tailing started to talk about "such a golden opportunity" they had to invade Iran. Now the orignal YW fell to invaders through just this way, only it was Carinthe's original nation that got deleted.<br />
<br />
Carinthe TG Grub since she thought that Fleeb was a TITO officer and offered her support. Seeing how the invaders were waiting until the UN scan was close at hand, Carinthe felt that they would take control of Iran before Grub got the message, so she ordered the YW army to hold it until TITO could get their.<br />
<br />
However, Fleeb was not a TITO operative. CG, some say "and the RRA", other say "of her own accord", moved to stop Carinthe from taking the delagacy and labeled her an invader for taking preemptive action. The invaders, faced with two armies, never came. And by the end of the day, the YW army was in the RR.<br />
<br />
The YW army initial left the RR, except for Carinthe. Diplomatic talks started between the RR, ADN and TYW. It looked like the regions would settle things with an apology when CG claimed that Iran wasn't an RRA mission, and thus Kandarin couldn't issue an apology for it. ADN did nothing to act as a neutral forum between defenders, first siding with the RRA, then martial law was declared ceasing talks their as well.<br />
<br />
Carinthe decided to move all her troops into the RR to apply pressure onto Kandarin, while I went to the Realm of Criminology to see if the dispute could be handled in the courts. Little did I know that the founder of criminology was an ex-RRA officer who had defected to the NPO after learning the RRA's goal of invading the pacific. (Warrior Thorin)<br />
<br />
With Carinthe's friendship with CG gone, and with it the reason for her hatred of the NPO, she took relations with the Franco-less NPO one step further and apologized to them for acting like an invader to their government. Moved by this, Old Luthern decided to try an act as mediators since his region [The Meritocracy] was the only one where NPO allies and A.D.N allies actually came to talk.<br />
<br />
You can read what came next for yourself on the TNM forums***LINK***. Hiding the talks would have been a good idea if it only included CG and Carinthe, since neither wanted to show weakness in front of their respective armies. But the hidden talks included first 6, then 8 then most of both sides of the conflict and all of the senators.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Greymarshess came back from vacation to see the RR littered with endorsements, Kandarin calling in re-enforcements from New Sparrow, three or more active armies, and all over an apology that Kandarin withdrew. He basically went over to TYW forum re-issued the basic apology on behalf of the RRA, Kandarin confirmed it, TYW finally finished voting on it. CG, busy with school work, came back two days later to see the RR empty, the apology accepted, and Kandarin's endorsement level back down under 200.<br />
<br />
So you might say CG's inactivity defeated TYW army, no?<br />
<br />
''Carinthe: TYW''<br />
<br />
This is supposed to be an interview, but I don't know anything to say. So much has been said already, and I hate repeating myself. Every time when I pass this thread, I think: "Oh no, not again?!"<br />
<br />
Sorry Old Lutheran [he asked the questions in TYW], but I am perfectly happy if you let CG tell my side of the story, and while you are at it, you may also ask why she is invading The Den.<br />
<br />
I see in this a plot to tire me out. It is not our newspaper, and I already know the general opinion.<br />
<br />
Here are the most important threads about the subject:<br />
<br />
* RRA wants peace [this topic did not exist]<br />
* RRA Ambassador<br />
* Peace talks are over [this topic did not exist]<br />
<br />
Kandarin shouldn't have withdrawn from the peacetalks, the day that this all started. They wanted this war.<br />
<br />
He shouldn't be so lazy, and do his own investigating. the thread is open to the public, and for him to read. This is a great chance to show how unbiased he is.<br />
<br />
''Greymarshes: RRA''<br />
<br />
1)Give me a step by step account of the entire incident<br />
<br />
Dormant region<br />
Nations moving in.<br />
Defenders moves in.<br />
Defenders win<br />
Defenders eject unwanted nations<br />
Defenders leave<br />
<br />
2) Why did you go into Iran?<br />
<br />
Word came that there were an massive influx of nations coming into Iran. Since Iran earlier had been targeted by invaders it was assumed this was a new invasion. Because of that different nations from several regions moved in to endorse CrazyGirl as spearhead to fend of the invasion.<br />
<br />
3)How did the Meritocracy get involved?<br />
<br />
If I recall correctly it was Old Luther who talked to Carinthe of the TYW and then Carinthe posted a message on the Merit forums regarding the Iran situation. And then it went from there.<br />
<br />
4)What agreement was reached?<br />
<br />
That The YoungWorld should leave The Rejected Realms. This happened after an official statement from the RRA suppleanted by Kandarin.<br />
5)Do you think the level of secrecy at which the talks were held was to high or too low?<br />
<br />
I have no real opinon about it.<br />
<br />
Greymarshes would like to point out that in Question 2, 'you' refers to the RRA, and not Greymarshes personally<br />
<br />
''Old Lutheran: TNM''<br />
<br />
1)How did the dispute begin between the RR and TYW?<br />
<br />
I was not present for the beginning of the conflict so I am going by what various sources have told me. The various interpretations of events will probably always be in dispute, but the events are(as I understand them) as follows.<br />
<br />
1. TYW forces went into the region of Iran where the delegate had apparently been deleted.<br />
2. RRA, NasiCorp and other troops went in after the TYW presence was noticed.<br />
3. Zandra was made delegate and ejected the TYW forces.<br />
4. TYW forces then commenced action against the Rejected Realms region after discussions on both the TYW and ADN forums fell apart.<br />
<br />
2) How did the Meritocracy get involved?<br />
<br />
That was my doing. A couple of weeks before the talks in the Merit began, I ran into Carinthe on the PRP forum and in a brief conversation, found her to be nothing as she had been portrayed. In that conversation, I learned that there was an opportunity for peace here, but it seemed that no one had yet tried to connect the dots.<br />
<br />
After consulting with then Consul Aesculapius and the Merit cabinet, I went to the TYW forums myself on a fact finding mission to see if there was interest in settling this matter peacefully. I found the Youngworlders to be witty, engaging, fun loving and more than willing to seek a peaceful solution. I went back to the Merit cabinet to help set things up knowing in my heart that an opportunity existed to put an end to the conflict peacefully. I believed this conflict to be needless and I thought that it could be resolved fairly easily with reasoned discussion and mutual give and take.<br />
<br />
3) Was any solution or agreement reached?<br />
<br />
Yes, an agreement was reached. The official negotiations here were over and the discussions on the release of the negotiations transcripts had pretty much slowed to a crawl. On November 19th, I (using a well known puppet of mine) endorsed Gothicville and Carinthe in the RR. This caused an uproar in certain circles to say the least.<br />
<br />
Shortly before the uproar started on the afternoon of the 19th, I was contacted by Greymarshes as to the reasons for my endorsement of Carinthe and Gothicville. We had an excellent discussion behind the scenes that led to me approaching Carinthe about the possibility of setting up a meeting to settle things once and for all. I was asked to draft a statement that would be initially acceptable and both Carinthe and Greymarshes then agreed to a meeting. There were hints on the TYW/RRA Negotiations discussions thread that something was going on, but Greymarshes, Carinthe, and I agreed to take the discussions offsite on the morning of the 20th instead of continuing in that thread or having another one started. I need to commend both Carinthe and Greymarshes at this point(and probably cannot praise them enough ) because it was their willingness to invest the time, in spite of everything that had already transpired, to come together and resolve the conflict once and for all. By early afternoon (Saturday the 20th) the agreement was reached. I watched as it was approved by Greymarshes, Kandarin, and Carinthe with then Consul Aesculapius and current Consul Eli present. The TYW army began leaving the Rejected Realms later that same afternoon and early evening.<br />
<br />
4) Do you think the decision keep the discussions private was a good one?<br />
<br />
As far as the initial negotiations in the Merit, no probably not. That was a kneejerk reaction out of surprise on my part that I wish I had not made.<br />
<br />
As far as the final negotiations, yes absolutely. The results speak for themselves and the primary focus(at least for me) was on the two parties who were not only willing to still negotiate, but able to officially end the conflict. I knew that, given time offsite and out of the public eye, a peaceful settlement could be reached between Carinthe and Greymarshes and again, I cannot lift up the praises those two deserve high enough.<br />
<br />
==Consular Interview==<br />
by Altair<br />
<br />
The Meritocratic Times recently interviewed the newly elected Consul Eli. This interview was conducted in stages via PM with the Senatrix from Sexanddope overseeing the last half.<br />
<br />
MT = the Meritocratic Times (Altair, dope where noted)<br />
Eli = Consul Eli<br />
<br />
MT: What is your primary nation?<br />
Eli: Eli is my primary nation.<br />
<br />
MT: What first attracted you to NationStates? To the Meritocracy?<br />
Eli: I ran into NationStates when reading National Review's online version. It was listed as their 'favorite' site of the day. When I joined NS, December 2002, there were very few non-feeder regions and the Capitalist Alliance was one of them, I joined it as the members there seemed to have similar beliefs to me. I knew about the Meritocratic Isles most likely about that same time as our regions did interact some. At that time the RR didn't exist yet and there was only one feeder region, The Pacific. I was attracted to The Meritocracy as it seemed to be a region that wouldn't persecute me for my unpure conservative/capitalist views. And I knew one of the founders and one of the Senators very well, hi Jasque and Britannia.<br />
<br />
MT: What other NS organizations besides the Meritocracy do you belong to?<br />
Eli: As Eli I belong to no other NS organizations. I have puppets that belong to the CA and to the ADN. The others are in feeders and the RR.<br />
<br />
MT: Given that the job of consul has been a largely thankless task in recent months, why did you want to become Consul?<br />
ELI: I thought that I could bring an ability to communicate and a vision of the course that the Meritocracy should take.<br />
<br />
MT: What do you see as the biggest problem(s) facing the Meritocracy and how will you go about addressing them?<br />
Eli: IMO the biggest problem is the perception many of our members have that we are an ADN-centric organization. I think nothing could be further from the truth. While some of our members have outside ties to that group I do not think our policies or our politics are unduly influenced by the ADN's politics and policies. I think we need to remove this misguided fixation from our discourse.<br />
<br />
I think we need to focus on advancing our Meritocratic ideals, self determination, the pre-eminence of national sovereignty, and the will to advocate those positions as the rights of all nations.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you like to discuss in brief the direction and goals that you have with respect to foreign policy?<br />
Eli: I would like to achieve closer economic, cultural, and social ties with all of the pre-eminent regions and nations in NationStates.<br />
<br />
MT (Senatrix dope): Could you expand upon this? Do you see TNM making such ties with regions that either are now, or were in their history, what many in The New Meritocracy would define as 'Invaders'?<br />
I avoid invaders, griefers, hackers, and what ifs. I think the Senate should also. I consider invaders, griefers, hackers, to be without Merit and unworthy of the consideration of this body.<br />
<br />
MT (Senatrix dope): Some here in The New Meritocracy have said any alliances short of military are pointless with 'invaders' as such alliances are purely RP and 'invaders' have no interest in such. Would you care to comment on such views?<br />
The Meritocracy will have no alliances with 'invaders' if I have anything to say about it. Anyone that thinks we should is opposed to my views.<br />
<br />
MT: Three months from now, how do you wish your consular term to be remembered?<br />
Eli: As one that re-focused The Meritocracy on its ideals.<br />
<br />
MT: By that criteria, how would you rate your term so far?<br />
Eli: I think it is going pretty well. I've voiced my view about it and we have of course had views that don't align themselves perfectly with mine but I think the discourse as been instructive.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Are you grooming a successor to the office?<br />
Eli: I am not. The Senate can do quite well at selecting a successor.<br />
<br />
MT: What do you see as your role in the Meritocracy when you become a former Consul statesman next year?<br />
Eli: I will serve the Meritocracy in the role that its members see fit to honor me.<br />
<br />
MT: I meant besides the statue carved into the face of Mount Winnipeg. What kind of role do you want to play?<br />
Eli: In RL I will be very challenged and will travel extensively on business in the coming year. This may preclude me from being the extreme post machine that I am now. I think that I am qualified to serve in any Ministry of than the MoJ. I have an aversion to legal tedium. I get enough of that in RL.<br />
<br />
MT: OB golf question. What's your favorite course and favorite hole? What's the most memorable round you've played and why?<br />
Eli: My favorite course that I have played would be Pebble Beach. My favorite hole would be the eighth hole there that doglegs over the ocean.<br />
<br />
My most memorable round of golf was a few years ago in an amateur tournament here in Missouri. I was fortunate enough to birdie the last hole to edge out my fellow competitor for the victory. This fellow was a young, smart aleck, sarcastic, college kid who had derisively called me "old man" all day. He was devastated by the fact that an old man had beat him. I was glad to have won and he did a rather good job of motivating me. Strangely enough I felt sorry for him afterwards because he took it so hard.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your time, Consul.<br />

===Tribune Election Report===<br />
<br />
by Altair<br />
<br />
It's Tribune election time in the Meritocracy again, with the next election to be held in the timepart of December 28th. Senatrix Akilina Bay of The Constitutional Monarchy of Sexanddope, the Senator from Aesculapius, the Senator from Old Lutheran, the Senator from Glasguensis, the Senator from Bumpivania and the Senator from Moldavi were nominated. The Senator from Aesculapius, the Senator from Old Lutheran and the Senatrix from Sexanddope have accepted their nominations and the Meritocratic Times is privileged to publish their Tribune platforms.<br />
<br />
It is the editorial policy of the Meritocratic Times to not endorse a candidate, however, we do urge all Senators to get out and vote in the election.<br />
<br />
''Addendum'': After this issue went to press, the Honorable Senator from Aesculapius withdrew as a candidate for Tribune.<br />

<br />
wrote:<br />
Greetings, my fellow Senators,<br />
<br />
Once again, I stand before you, asking for your favor. Many of you already know me well- as Praetor, Consul, or Friend. I feel that I have extensive experience in the law, even if it has been as somewhat of an outsider. As Praetor for almost two terms, I worked, hands-on, with the law. I directed the efforts of the Ministry of Internal Policy to create the Civil Code (Though I certainly could not have done it alone). I was personally involved in the drafting, editing, and passing of many pieces of legislation. I would like the opportunity to continue working with the law. I ask you now to consider voting for me for Tribune in the upcoming election.<br />
<br />
I have accepted the nomination for the position of Tribune because I feel that it is time for change. I have great reverence for the ideals of tripartite government. In my opinion, to succeed, all governments must obey the separation of powers; to do less is to allow any one branch of the government, be it legislative, judicial, or executive, to establish tyranny over all. That is, of course, the most terrible of outcomes, because it distorts, silences, and destroys the voice of the people. Senators, I worry that the authority of the judiciary of this body is being diluted. It is being diluted because of entanglements in areas that it should not be; it is being diluted, because it seems there is a fear and distrust of the judiciary. That worries me greatly. The judiciary must command the respect that comes out of swift, sure, exact, and just decisions.<br />
<br />
I pledge that as Tribune, I shall remain completely objective and fair. I will not look at the names of any Senator coming before the court and prejudge them; they will all be equal in my eyes. Moreover, I promise that I shall stick to the law, and not personal opinion, as it was written and passed by the rightfully elected Meritocratic Senate. As such, when looking at any case, or making any legal opinion, my sole guide will be the letter of the law. I confess that I am a stickler for procedure and doing things according to a somewhat constructionist view. That is because I feel that the Senate is best served when there is no doubt as to the legal correctness of an action. That is why I propose to make the jurisidiction and procedure of the Ministry of Justice clearer, and close loopholes and gaps in the law.<br />
<br />
As far as the qualities that a Tribune must have, I believe Bumpy said it best:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
<br />
The job of Tribune calls for objectivity, freedom from prejudice and a love of Justice. A lonely and unpopular position at times, those who would sit in judgement must do so with the understanding that the power they wield is not their own, but derives from the laws they are charged with administering; vengeance must be tempered with fairness and compassion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Senators, I wish to uphold these values as Tribune. I pledge to you that I shall be, as always, a humble servant of this body.<br />
<br />
I ask for your consideration, and questions.<br />
<br />
''The Senator from Old Lutheran''<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
My Campaign for Reelection as Tribune of the Meritocracy is based on a record of progress and achievement by the Ministry of Justice and the Senate that I have felt an honor to have been both a member of and served as Tribune these last 3 months.<br />
<br />
During my time as Tribune, our Ministry of Justice has stayed busy and made substantial progress in clarifying questions of application and interpretation of the Law in both The Charter and Legal Code. We have seen the Role Play Freedom Act, 3 legal Code Amendments, and the Judicial Review Board Act passed by the Senate. We currently have two more Legal Code amendments at vote together in the Senate. This activity reflects an increased level of open dialogue between the judiciary and the Senate that I have not before seen in my time as a Meritocratic Senator.<br />
<br />
I am the first Tribune who has not seen a sitting Consul sued since I first joined the Meritocracy. In large part, this is because I have had the honor of serving with two outstanding Consuls. I believe that it is also because both Consuls felt comfortable enough with me as Tribune to come to me for legal advice on possible courses of action at critical times over the last 3 plus months. Said advice wasn’t always followed as both Consuls are of their own mind, but both have felt comfortable enough with this Tribune to ask for an opinion when they felt it necessary.<br />
<br />
I have seen this level of comfort in my interactions with my fellow Senators over the last 3 plus months as well. I have been asked, with increasing frequency, about various legal matters and interpretations of law by many different Senators and have felt honored to be asked on each occasion. In short, the Law of the Meritocracy is not practiced in a sterile environment in which the Tribune is perceived to be above “entanglements.”(A false perception for any Tribune or any member of the Cabinet) The Tribune is very much a member of the Senate and the application and interpretation of Law is done best in the midst of the day-to-day activity of the Senate. While I think that I may be the first activist Tribune and that has probably taken some aback, the MOJ has certainly seen a tremendous amount of activity and progress as a result.<br />
<br />
There have been comments about “entanglements.” I will point to the peaceful]http://merit.jink.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5526]peaceful end of the TYW/RRA conflict[/url] as a foreign policy “entanglement” that was done with full foreknowledge and approval of the Consul of the previous administration. As you can see, this particular “entanglement” was viewed as a success by the previous administration and Consul. I believe the result (ie: the successful and peaceful end of the conflict) speaks for itself in that regard. I have also been asked to participate in various discussions in the West Pacific and elsewhere and have kept the current administration and Consul well appraised of my activities. I believe these positive foreign interactions continue to help the Meritocracy. My own foreign policy opinions are my own and have been stated. Every candidate for any office in the Meritocracy has opinions on foreign policy so I am sure this is nothing new. What is more important for the office of Tribune is what constitutes Justice and one’s views on the subject. I wish I could get away by saying I’m not a lawyer in RL, but that answer should not suffice for someone who wishes election, or reelection, to the office of Tribune of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
My theories of justice have been confirmed over the last 20 timeparts so I will review them here. My overriding premise stems not from our legal code but from our Charter. (bold mine)<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
Membership shall be afforded to all nations who swear the oath of allegiance to The Meritocracy as prepared by the Senate body for citizenship applicants, and who are approved by a majority vote of the standing Meritocratic Senate. <br />
<br />
Every Senator here was voted in by a majority of the Senate. They deserve the same respect when brought before the court as the day they were accepted into our Senate Halls. I can guarantee that Senators charged will receive that respect if or when they are brought before a court in which I sit as Tribune and Chief Justice. Obviously, not everyone can agree in a court proceeding, but it is my hope that any Senator charged in the future will agree that they received fairness and respect from the court even if they disagree with the outcome. Justice should not be blind, but rather the lens used to determine justice should view every Senator equally.<br />
<br />
I believe this point was made best during the last Tribune election when I was asked by Senator Yoco:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
What do you believe is the single most important responsibility of the Tribune? <br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
To safeguard the Charter and Meritocratic Law in a manner consistent with the ideals of the Meritocracy and to protect the rights of our Senators guaranteed therein. <br />
<br />
<br />
I believe that I have done this to the best of my ability and I plan to continue to do so, hoping to improve my efforts as I learn from almost every interaction with you; my fellow members of the Meritocratic Senate.<br />
<br />
Every Senator, including cabinet officers and candidates for Tribune, have opinions on issues from citizenship to foreign policy and these should be allowed to be expressed regardless. Our society not only allows for, but encourages that kind of open expression. There are those who disagree and they will wring their hands and decry our international reputation and tell us we need to be afraid of everything from declining citizenship applications to tyranny. Those who do so need only look at the number of current and recent applications from not only new applicants, but former Senators returning to the Meritocracy (and I have never seen anything like the current high levels of returning Senators to the Merit in my NS career) to see that the politics of fear are unfounded and have no more basis in the reality of the Meritocracy than false claims of tyranny. With the passage of the Judicial Review Act, the Tribune and Tribunal rulings have never been as open to scrutiny as they are right now. I supported that legislation and was pleased to have a role in drafting what became the Judicial Review Act. We currently have 6 of our fellow Senate members up for vote for a role on the Judicial Review Board. This panel will be able to review Tribunal decisions without the fear of embroiling the Meritocracy in a no confidence vote and all the ugly potential fallout afterwards. This is progress and this is making the judiciary more open to all Senate scrutiny just as having your Tribune down in the trenches with you on the tough issues can foster greater understanding and open discussion with someone you may have previously felt was unapproachable because of their office and how they wore the mantle of their responsibility to the Senate. This is not tyranny, it is progress and some only know two ways to handle progress. They will attempt to tell you two things:<br />
<br />
1. Why you should be afraid of it.<br />
<br />
And<br />
<br />
2. Who to blame for it.<br />
<br />
A vote for Old Lutheran is a vote for progress and against the politics of fear. I ask for your vote.<br />
<br />
A RL President of the United States once described the US as a “Shining city on a hill whose light cannot be hidden.” The President was Ronald Wilson Reagan and the quote was a reference to Scripture. Specifically,<br />
<br />
Matthew 5:14 wrote:<br />
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.<br />
<br />
In Nationstates, The New Meritocracy is that shining city. That has been apparent to me since I joined this outstanding organization and this unique body of people that make up the Meritocratic Senate. This is not because of our foreign policy or our military, or even the high numbers of pet owners among our Senate (well maybe the last one has helped a bit ) but rather; it is because of the uniqueness of our bond to each other. I think we need only look at the number of returning Senators to our ranks to see that unique bond at work and to see that we are indeed doing things well in maintaining our highly visible role as that “shining city on a hill” in the NS world. While we are not a military organization, there are portions of the US Army Ranger Creed that I see lived out here which I will paraphrase as:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
we do not leave our people behind…We do not abandon our own. <br />
<br />
We may not always agree, but I believe that we can continue to support each other as fellow members of the most unique, challenging, and dynamic region in Nationstates.<br />
<br />
I ask for your questions, consideration, and your vote.<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

Senators and Senatrix’ of The New Meritocracy,<br />
<br />
I stand before you asking for your consideration in an election for the first time. I genuinely feel truly humbled to be standing alongside such a wealth of Cabinet experience as that possessed by Aesculapius and Old Lutheran. The previous election between Senators Bumpy and Old Lutheran was one of the most decorously conducted elections in recent times and I hope that we can maintain such high standards in this election, I assure all here I will not allow myself to degenerate into personalities or negative tactics. I am asking for your consideration as I feel I have something to offer, I have spent my entire Meritocratic career in the Ministry of Justice, I have authored and assisted in MoJ based Charter amendments and I have authored several successful Legal code amendments. I have a history in the Ministry of Justice and Meritocratic law; I feel my experience in this field will serve the Senate well.<br />
<br />
The Office of Tribune is a central one; the whole of our Meritocratic system is worked on the balance between the Consul and the Tribune. I see this balance as being essential and I will do everything in my powers to maintain such a balance. While I do not expect to have to use the extensive powers of the Office of Tribune against this or any future Consul I will not hesitate to do so if I deem it necessary. As has been said the Office of Tribune can be lonely and isolated, while I will not search out such circumstances I am well used to the same my RL situation have lent me such experience.<br />
<br />
My personal views on The New Meritocracy’s foreign policy have been well aired and are open for anyone to look at, although I feel sure many of you are not aware that I am involved in the revival of the MACTO agreement and the negotiations of same. However, my views on my preferred foreign policy for The New Meritocracy will not in any way colour my position on any issue that may be brought before this Senate. All my nations in NS serve only the Meritocracy, I have 4 nations in total, this one, a UN puppet and two others which I use for MIA work, none of my nations have ever been allied to any other region or organisation, and I therefore come before you totally unencumbered by the viewpoints that such acquaintances may at times attempt to place upon you. I will continue to vote in the interests of my Nation, and of The New Meritocracy, however if elected I will not promote policy amendments as I feel doing so from the Office of Tribune would lend such opinions undue weight. That leads me to the way I feel the Office of Tribune should be viewed; I am of the opinion that for Justice to be served the Judiciary must be more than unbiased, they must be seen to be unbiased and The Tribune must be above the day to day politics of the Senate. To ensure that, not only will I endeavour to ensure my position is actually unbiased, but more, that it is totally untainted by any possibility of any such accusations, I will refrain from overt comment in the passage of acts through ministry, or on matters of Foreign Policy unless I notice something that requires Tribune input at an early stage to prevent me having to do so when it gets to the floor. Of course I will be totally impartial and neutral in all my judgements, but I would expect that of anyone standing for this Office.<br />
<br />
The letter of the law will be my guide, however in a region such as this our Legal Code is not totally comprehensive, we have not had the millennia to evolve that RL nations have, I will therefore use the principles of common law, and where I am aware of it, the spirit that the law in question was written in. I repeat the letter of the law will be my guide, but if the letter of the law is not sufficient I will attempt to use the spirit of the law and the ethos of The New Meritocracy. These will be my guides in the coming weeks if I am honoured by your votes. I have already worked to close loopholes in the Legal Code and of course I will continue to examine the code as required. I was in the Ministry of Justice during the Unistrut / NewClarkhaller / Pittsland cases, the Pilmour and the Argyres cases, so I have close experience of work in a politically charged environment.<br />
<br />
In summary I feel I have qualities, I can offer this Senate, I am my own person and I am not afraid to voice opinions that may not be popular. I have successfully passed legislation in TNM, and indeed helped cause it to be passed in RL. I will not bend to political pressure while I will be totally unbiased in all my judgments, saving I will always act in the best interests of The New Meritocracy, I will always be aware of the aura the office should be held in and do all I can to maintain same. I am certain however you vote The New Meritocracy will be well served in the next Tribunal term as you have some outstanding candidates. I do though humbly request that you give me your consideration and allow me to lead the Ministry of Justice and serve this Senate in the forthcoming term as your Tribune!<br />
<br />
I thank you all and invite questions, either in this forum or by PM, for the record, all my PM’s are always classed by myself as confidential and will not be released to the public without the consent of all those involved, or a court order!<br />

===An Interview with Xixia (Sarda), Part I of LXIII===<br />
by Altair<br />
<br />
We recently had time to visit and do a brief interview with the Honorable Senator from Xixia (Sarda). Due to its size, we will be serializing it in 63 parts. This is part 1.<br />
<br />
MT = The Meritocratic Times (Altair)<br />
XS = Xixia (Sarda)<br />
<br />
MT: What is your primary nation in NS?<br />
XS: Sarda, which currently holds my place in the Pacific, as Minister of Culture and Governor of our largest Province. Right now though, my most active nation would be Lies Incorporated. As General of the Gatesville Militia, we just secured Warzone Asia under my leadership with that nation.<br />
<br />
MT: What attracted you first to the Meritocracy? Why did you come back after leaving the first time (the turn of last year)?<br />
XS: I was first brought here by the good Senator Daedalus, to discuss Meritocratic membership in the 'Sardaukar Confederate Defense Trust,' which is an interview in and of itself... but the Meritocracy accepted membership. After the SCDT as it was called, dissolved, I decided I'd been hanging around the boards here long enough, so I applied and won my seat.<br />
<br />
I returned after my last departure, because it was rash... that is to say, it was infectious and covered with boils. Seriously though, I left at the time because in real life I was overloaded... writing short stories on commission, exams, pulling my grades out of a nose dive... I lost touch with a lot of friends because of my hasty departure.<br />
<br />
MT: What other organizations are you active with? Which is your favorite?<br />
XS: The Pacific, Gatesville, Vesta, and the North Pacific. The first two most actively. I'm Minister of Cultre and a Governor of the Pacific, I'm a member of the Gatesville High Council and General of all her soldiers, I'm one of two General Secretaries of Vesta, and I'm the Deputy Minister of Arts & Entertainment over at the North Pacific. The latter two are very low impact. Of these four, I'd have to say I enjoy my time in the Pacific and Gatesville the most. I have a crud load of friends over at the Pacific forums and Gatesville is just fun, because we have a really solid goal in mind with our politics.<br />
<br />
MT: About the SC, do you have any further plans associated with it?<br />
XS: Really couldn't say... Hidlberg is in charge right now, I just don't foresee another resurge. My fear is that the SC will be dissolving in a year or so.<br />
<br />
MT: What kinds of activities do you envision yourself becoming involved with when you return from your leave-of-absense?<br />
XS: Well, being what I guess amounts to the 'Deputy Director of Public Relations' right now, I plan to help with recruiting, in the administrative area that our current Director doesn't enjoy!<br />
<br />
MT: Let's digress for a moment and discuss your role in the creation of this publication. While you were writing the enacting legislation what kind of goals did you envision for the N&OA?<br />
XS: The creation of a truly sweeping, and informative periodical. I saw the institutions that floated independently and without course, throughout the world. I had the priviledge of gracing the covers of the Radio Network, SeattleNews, all the greats... but which are still here today? I hope that regardless of staffing problems, and potential lack of articles, the Meritocratic Times will endure as our own domestic media body... and I believe that our last few Aediles have done a great job doing that, and avoiding the onamotaepoetic meaning of their name!<br />
<br />
MT: What goals did you accomplish in the term you spent as Aedile?<br />
XS: I believe I succeeded in fulfilling my duties as the legislation entailed, but what's more, I set the precident for arrangement and design that permeates policy today. Though I wasn't a ground shaking man of the media, I like to think I helped laid a firm foundation for your work today.<br />
<br />
MT: Any comments regarding the rival publication that Senator Evans attempted to put out?<br />
XS: I think Evans' heart was in the right place, but I don't think it would have held out for all that long. It was however the stimulus for me, to get things going again.<br />
<br />
MT: What comments do you have regarding the direction the paper took after you resigned as Aedile?<br />
XS: When Soigacas took over, I was overjoyed that both our visions paralleled so often. I believe he followed much of the example I set, and helped build on the afore mentioned foundation. You've also to date, exemplified the great and high standards of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you ever want to take the job again in the future?<br />
XS:<br />
<br />
MT: What advice do you have for me (as Aedile)?<br />
XS: Interview me. Often. The people... they can't get enough of my size 13 feet, and size 14 wit. I am... how you say, fabulous.<br />
<br />
MT: Moving on, in 20 words or less, please describe what you like best about the Meritocracy?<br />
XS: The cheese... the cheese, and the conversation. The cheese, conversation, and politicos.<br />
<br />
MT: Regarding your recent change out of Provincial Senator status, do you have plans for a future run at the Consul seat?<br />
XS: Not unless half the Senate was just dying for me in the office<br />
<br />
MT: What would be Consul Xixia (Sarda)'s vision of the future of the Meritocracy?<br />
XS: Probably turning our sights inward to build up a stronger domestic infrastructure where needed, and to expand our foreign embassies. Just because I don't think we should have any external entanglements, doesn't mean I don't want us to be more active in other regions.<br />
<br />

===Equilism===<br />
<br />
by Neboe<br />
<br />
On January 13, 2004 a new player came to NationStates. That player sought to create a nation in which all people would be equal. Combining a bit of French and English, the nation of Equility was born. On that same day the founder of Equility began the construction of a new region to be built around the same principles. The region of Equilism was founded.<br />
<br />
As Equility grew in the Nation States world the nation became quickly appalled by the idea that other regions would invade, disrupt and destroy regional activities. Equility began to recruit other nations and within the first week Equilism began to grow. By the third week Equilism had grown to a region of 20 nations and applied for membership in the Allied Liberation League (A.L.L.). By the end of January 2004 Equilism had been accepted as a member of A.L.L. and the Alliance Defense Network (ADN). From these early beginnings, Equilism and her member nations have been and continue to be prominent and active members in both defending organizations.<br />
<br />
Somewhere at the end of January Equility officially assumed the position of (Interim) President, until credible elections could be held. A few (semi-) active members such as Rhonanvin, Le People Francephone, Tomika, Swamp-land and Daradah worked on a little Constitution and established 6 Departments: Department of Internal Affairs, Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Immigration, Military Department, Intelligence Department and Environment, Human Rights and Social Affairs (this department later merged with the Internal Affairs Department). They were mostly trying to organize, get members active, and develop the tasks of the departments. On February 5, 2004 Equilism participated in its first Military defensive action.<br />
<br />
In Mid March Equilism.com forum was opened. The website was very attracting to new members. It was the first step of the regions success. At that time Westwind was becoming more active, he participated in one of Equilism’s first Military actions (not the very first one though) and was elected Senator directly as Equilism moved to the new forum.<br />
<br />
Equilism kept growing, and became more active within the ADN. The Government Departments started doing some good work. Somewhere during that period, around March/April, Ostendt (he was an experienced defender at that time already) joined the region to help with setting up a good defensive force, along with a strong intelligence department. A training mission commenced for the E-Army, where the Intelligence Minister Ellandar participated. During that mission the Intelligence Department noticed Ellandar’s strange behavior towards another nation, along with other suspicious activities from him. Not long after that it was discovered that Ellandar had multi UN nations, probably spied on Equilism and also broke the Constitution. The decision was made to ban him, and a resolution was approved that made sure he never could regain office in Equilism government ever again. Ellandar remained a persistent spammer of Equilism, claiming his innocence, later apologizing for his illegal actions and then again rejoined the region to spam the RHQ with puppets.<br />
<br />
Around that time Tse Moana joined, she quickly became Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs. She was promoted a few weeks later to Interior Minister and remained there until recently, leaving a great legacy. Neboe joined the region not much later, and became Minister of Foreign Affairs a few weeks after his arrival. He communicated with many new members, and established several foreign embassies in allied regions despite having almost no Ambassadors available to work with him. From there Equilism kept growing.<br />
<br />
Equilism remained a vigorous, growing and active region during the month after the Ellandar scandal. New officials were elected, new nations received successful chances in power, foreign relations were established, the E-Army got better and better, and the region survived mostly without problems.<br />
<br />
In August of 2004 the equilism.com site and forum was deleted without warning. This was a big hit to the region and the community; Equilism was “homeless” for more than a month. Fortunately Equility and Westwind fixed a new forum at equilism.net, with a new layout. Unfortunately around 22000 posts were lost from the old forum, thought the administrators do have all posts as a text file.<br />
<br />
Since the reopening of the Equilism forums a new recruitment initiative and elections for the sixth Government Cabinet have been successful. Equilism is now home to 234 nations and growing. The representative democracy is thriving on the active participation among members.<br />

===Editorial===<br />
<br />
Welcome to issue 9 of the Meritocratic Times. This edition features an article from the Senatrix from Crazygirl in response to last issue's interviews with other participants in the TYW/RRA incident (ED: This article appears 2nd due to the fact that it contains QUOTE markups). We have an interview with the new(ly reelected) Tribune, an interview with NS economic superpower Densim and an article on GUSTO.<br />
<br />
In this issue, we bid farewell to B4kst4br in a special article which includes an interview as well as a report from one of his former "bosses". We bid a returning welcome to the Senator from Jallalacks who gives a report on the North Pacific. We also bid welcome to a newcomer, the Senatorial candidate from Czarist Duchies, who becomes the first non-Senator to have an article published in these pages.<br />
<br />
We have our standard games, a crossword from Soigacas, answers to Cryptogram I with the winners of the contest and new Cryptograms and contests from me. We are also unveiling the results of the first Senator of the Year poll and show various New Year's resolutions that Senators are making.<br />
<br />
And always remember, if you disagree with an article you see here, don't get mad, write up your disagreement and send it to us so we can publish it.<br />

===Old Lutheran Reelected as Tribune===<br />
<br />
Last week the Meritocracy held Tribunal elections and in a very close decision the winner proved to be the sitting Tribune Old Lutheran. The Meritocratic Times is pleased to offer congratulations to the winner and to the challenger, the Honorable Senatrix from Sexanddope who both ran exemplary campaigns.<br />
<br />
We had the opportunity to sit down with the returning Tribune for a brief conversation.<br />
<br />
MT = The Meritocratic Times (Altair)<br />
OL = Tribune Old Lutheran<br />
<br />
MT: What is your primary nation?<br />
OL: It is now Old Lutheran. My oldest nation is Promise of Joshua which I started in June of 2003 as "The" Promise of Joshua and then RPed its almost complete destruction and rebirth on the NS forums from July to August of 2003.<br />
<br />
MT: What first attracted you to NationStates? To the Meritocracy?<br />
OL: A link on a Yahoo message board in June 2003 was what got me interested in NS. My original "home" region was the North Pacific when Nastic was delegate.<br />
<br />
I was drawn to the Meritocracy by Maxx Barry's new article in December 2003. I first noticed it in January 2004. I stayed because I recognized some veteran players who were respected on the NS forums (B4 and Garrison II and others,) the really cool site, and because the Merit had a map. I thought rp would be very cool with a map of the region showing where everyone was. I still remember who some of the first Senators to welcome me were; Frappacino, LR, Jasque, Pilmour, Argyres and Corintur.<br />
<br />
MT: What other NS organizations besides the Meritocracy do you belong to?<br />
OL: I have a nation in the West Pacific (Faithful Lutherans) and Vesta(Promise of Joshua) I am also the founder of The United Peoples of Abraham. I have not always controlled that nation, but took it over for a NS friend who left the game.<br />
<br />
MT: Why did you decide to get involved in the justice department?<br />
OL: Always had a fascination for the Law in RL. Took several pre-law courses as an undergrad and also took a few paralegal courses just because they interested me when I was single and younger. (Actually the instructor was an equally young and very attractive lady and that sure didn't hurt ) I'm also a Law and Order junkie so it fits.<br />
<br />
MT: What first appealed to you about the office of Tribune?<br />
OL: Nothing. I was both honored and floored to even be asked by then Deputy Tribune Hipposhire to complete NewClarkHaller's term, but I was honestly planning a future Consul run at the time. I accepted because I felt I genuinely owed something back to the Merit after my resignation as Quaestor in July 2004 due to RL circumstances. I quickly realized two things:<br />
<br />
1. I liked the role of Tribune<br />
<br />
2. I felt that some things about the role of Tribune did need to change. (ie: The Tribune needed to be more active in day-to-day activities of the Meritocracy.)<br />
<br />
MT: How would you rate your current term in office?<br />
OL: It has had its good and not so good moments. The MOJ is completely revitalized and active. We have gotten a tremendous amount of work done and I throughly enjoy working with the members of the MOJ. I also enjoyed being there and being involved in the end of TYW/RRA conflict even though that didn't really fall into my job description. I have represented the Meritocracy abroad in an unofficial capacity as occasional legal advisor and I have enjoyed just about every moment of that. In remaking the role of Tribune into a more activist one, I feel that I have benefitted the Meritocracy for the long term but that the effects of those efforts will not be fully felt until after I leave office.<br />
<br />
I have felt it necessary to take some unpopular stands and those have not always been "good" moments for me. I have made my apologies when I feel I've been in the wrong and have few regrets otherwise. [/i]<br />
<br />
About the job of Tribune:<br />
<br />
MT: How much time per day on average does it take to be Tribune?<br />
OL: To just do the job of Tribune, not a great deal of time. Maybe an hour a day. If you are involved in the Senate, it can easily be more.<br />
<br />
MT: In the worst case, how much time have you had to spend in any one day being Tribune?<br />
OL: There was one day that I had off in RL during my last term where I was online in the Merit for probably 6-8 hours. That has not happened since.<br />
<br />
MT: Six months from now, how do you wish your current term to be remembered?<br />
OL: As one of strong MOJ activity and progress in making necessary reforms to the Charter and Legal Code. As a term where the perceived role of Tribune was completely overhauled so that future Tribunes could come out of the ivory tower and stay as active in the Senate as they were to even be considered for Tribune to begin with. As a term where the powers of the office of Tribune were utilized to help unify the members of the Senate in a newfound respect for each other and for the ideals of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
MT: You just won the second closest Tribune election in history. How do you feel?<br />
OL: My first thoughts were to give the old stock answer that quarterbacks used to give after the Super Bowl, ie: "I'm going to Disneyworld."<br />
<br />
In all honesty, shocked. I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I was not surprised at the high level of integrity and decorum that Senatrix Aki showed throughout the campaign. She showed herself to be a person of class, character, and definitely of sufficient Merit to be Tribune of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
MT: What do you see as the top item of priority you will attend to as we enter the new year?<br />
OL: There are some loopholes and inconsistancies in various aspects of our legal and legislative structure that will continue to be looked at. There has been a great deal of work already and I am certain that we will see more proposals come forward once the New Year is underway in earnest.<br />
<br />
MT: Do you wish to make a statement?<br />
OL: I need to thank all of those who supported me in the campaign and who voted for me in the election. The campaign gave me food for thought in a couple of areas. While I don't have any promises or statements to make along those lines just now, I do plan some reflection on certain aspects of office.<br />
<br />
===Account of TYW/RRA Incident===<br />
By Crazygirl<br />
<br />
1) Give me a step by step account of the entire incident<br />
<br />
i was alerted to an invasion of "iran"<br />
i saw it was carinthe, moved in, and asked: "since when does carinthe invade? "<br />
<br />
she yelled flamebait, and that we were no longer friends.<br />
i checked the xml, and indeed, she was invading, she was the first one in the region after the last native, and then the rest of her army after her.<br />
i had some contact with one of the 3 natives, and he asked me to help.<br />
<br />
i called some friends, and they came to endorse me. (note, this wasn't just rra, not by far).<br />
we won, i kicked the invaders and passlocked the region while i gave the password to all 3 natives. later, one or two of the natives thanked me on their civil HQ.<br />
<br />
then carinthe invaded the rr, as a revenge because we saved iran, and started demanding an apology or else she would keep attacking the rr with her army.<br />
<br />
the talks here at merit didn't go well at all, carinthe came here and a secret forum was created, uni and me had to ask for the password, and then the attacks started. they all wanted us to apologise for helping iran, but i don't regret what i did there, so i wouldn't apologise, because it would be a lie.<br />
<br />
OL, Carinthe and other people from the youngworld kept attacking us, and later they even threw in more merit senators and even the npo/prp folks, who are also my enemies in this game, and who had nothing to do with this whole situation.<br />
<br />
to say it got out of hand is an understatement.<br />
<br />
then greys came back from retirement, got curious then came up with some weird political statement.<br />
<br />
the youngworld accepted the thing, and that way, it finally sorta got resolved.<br />
<br />
some notes:<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
TYW army had grown in strength due to the Great Blight defence<br />
<br />
the only person from that region who gave puppets was carinthe herself, and she never activated the un on it, so she didn't even help in the actual liberation.<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
One day, Fleeb, the delegate of Iran got deleted<br />
<br />
fleeb, a defender friend of mine, was only delegate of iran for one day to stop another invasion, and was long gone from iran before he was deleted (he also got restored because he was deleted unjustly.)<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
However, Fleeb was not a TITO operative<br />
<br />
he is, if i remember right, he's even second in command<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
With Carinthe's friendship with CG gone, and with it the reason for her hatred of the NPO<br />
<br />
<br />
she already disliked/hated npo before we became friends, it's how we got to know each other.<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
you may also ask why she is invading The Den<br />
<br />
<br />
i wasn't invading the den, tito was. my un nation first stayed in the RR, then later moved to urbanites to endorse the native free iuthia.<br />
i only moved in my main nation to put an end to the flaming and flamebaiting, which helped even.<br />
<br />
2) Why did you go into Iran?<br />
<br />
an invasion going on, a native asking for help...pretty obvious, no?<br />
<br />
3) How did the Meritocracy get involved?<br />
<br />
old lutheran started talking to TYW<br />
<br />
4) What agreement was reached?<br />
<br />
greys would make some political statement (which he did show to me and asked if i could live with it).<br />
<br />
TYW leaving the RR<br />
<br />
5) Do you think the level of secrecy at which the talks were held was to high or too low?<br />
<br />
either way. it should've been either wide open for all to see, or closed so the participants get to say who gets in and with a clear seperate list of who has access.<br />
<br />
===The New North Pacific Conflict===<br />
<br />
By Jallalacks<br />
<br />
And so, once again, the region of The North Pacific is at the top of the international news agenda. Once again, it is due to its relationship with the outside world, and once again, the ADN is involved.<br />
<br />
On December 23rd, 2004, Wilkshire, the Foreign Affairs Minster requested that Pixiedance, delegate of the The North Pacific feeder region, post a message that refuted their membership of the ADN. The background to this was strange, to say the least: a few incidents on the IRC chat rooms needed for inter – ADN communication were to be discussed and resolved peaceably in diplomatic talks between the Director’s office and The North Pacific government. A disagreement over whether these talks should be held publicly or privately led to a resolution being proposed, but never voted on, let alone adopted by the ADN council. In short, muddling through the chronology of this incident, and hearing opinion on it, it seems matters in recent weeks should not have been enough, under normal circumstances, to warrant a diplomatic furore like this. Some members of The North Pacific reacted, not surprisingly, with shock:<br />
<br />
“Wow! I knew things were going bad, but not this bad!”<br />
— Nish81, Head of Ministry of Kirby<br />
<br />
Others, confusion:<br />
<br />
“What happened to an action plan/allowing us to vote? will this still happen?”<br />
— Fulhead Lane, Ambassador to the Proletariat Coalition<br />
<br />
Stretch our minds back to before the resignation, and we discover that on December 12th, Pixiedance had resigned as the representative of The North Pacific to the ADN council, after she said that “I am unwelcome in the ADN channel on IRC.” Following on from that, Insane Power was kicked from the ADN channel by CrazyGirl:<br />
<br />
“Weirdly I tried discussing this.....I got the following message!<br />
* You were kicked from #alliance_defense_network by Crazy_Girl (get out )”<br />
— Insane Power, Deputy Minister of Minsitry of External Affairs<br />
<br />
These incidents, whilst clearly enough to cause a diplomatic spat, should not have been enough to warrant a resignation from the ADN in what has previously been described as the mildly pro – ADN government. Some have gone so far as to criticise Pixiedance (registered as Cathy on the The North Pacific forum) for aggravating the situation:<br />
<br />
“Members of the ADN had previously noted that Pixiedance was spoiling for a fight and creating a diplomatic incident out of some perceived slurs received from ADN members. Two ADN members used the word 'pissy' to describe this behaviour.”<br />
— Eurosoviets Federation, Founder of the Allied States of Euroislanders, in a press release on the day of the resignation.<br />
<br />
<br />
This was not the primary cause of the resignation though – that was to come later. Diplomatic talks were proposed by Pixiedance to resolve the situation, and were graciously accepted:<br />
<br />
“Of course we accept and appreciate this invitation.”<br />
— Pope Hope, Director of the Alliance Defence Network<br />
<br />
In fact, in the days following this incident, members of the ADN acted with nothing but decorum on the boards of The North Pacific. The diplomatic skills of Pope Hope and WestWind quickly poured cold water on an inflamed wound, and the IRC incidents were rightly explained away as misunderstanding and minority views which did not represent the whole of the ADN. However, it seemed no one could prevent the situation from escalating as a ‘size of the table’ style argument over whether diplomatic talks should be public or private began:<br />
<br />
“I am sure that there are a number of nations within the North Pacific who are interested in these talks, and i think as a matter of principle these talks should take place in the open.<br />
<br />
At the outset, I therefore formally request that this forum be openly viewable (without, naturally, open posting rights.)”<br />
— Flemingovia, Minister of The North Pacific<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This statement was followed swiftly with a series of approvals from various members, of both The North Pacific and the ADN. However, the proposal was gently rejected by Pixiedance, who stated that: “ Much of the discussion will, of necessity, concern specific individuals and incidents…They are not talks about ADN in general…I do not believe it right or helpful that a discussion of individual incidents be public - especially so since our forum is open to all.” This rationale appears stronger to Jallalacks than the ones for making the forum open to all, as many members suggested – transparent government could still be maintained if the subject of those talks was released two weeks later, for example. However, the populace of The North Pacific reacted badly to this news, and it could be argued that the disagreements fermented here would lead to the current crisis. In responding to the wish of CrazyGirl that the talks should be open to “ adn and north pacific members, not people who like throwing more fire on top of already existing problems.” One member responded:<br />
<br />
<br />
“This is TNP--it's gonna happen, regardless.<br />
<br />
...Wait! That's not funny... ”<br />
— Monte Ozarka, Minister of The North Pacific<br />
<br />
It seems that fire was thrown onto an already existing problem however, with the introduction to the ADN council of a resolution that essentially called for the proposed talks to be abandoned. Taking simply the operative clauses that concern the specific talks themselves:<br />
<br />
1. The Council of Representatives disavows any agreement reached at said talks as illegal.<br />
2. The Council of Representatives disavows the claim of anyone claiming to represent this Alliance at said talks.<br />
3. The Council of Representatives thoroughly objects to said talks being held in secret.<br />
4. A full report to the Council shall be made by The Director of every word said in the aforementioned talks, within private chambers if necessary, but in a public thread otherwise.<br />
<br />
It is unknown to Jallalacks who proposed this resolution, but it never went to vote, and sources within the ADN state that it was extremely unlikely it would have been accepted. This is not surprising – it is extraordinarily blunt, and would have undermined the authority of the Director, Vice Director and Cortath, all of whom were due to represent the ADN at these talks. If we consider the words of Unistrut, also commenting on the proposed talks:<br />
<br />
“If these talks are in regards to any ADN policies, decisions, or leadership I would recommend that those concerns be taken up within the ADN Council- as that is the appropriate medium for resolution of member concerns.”<br />
Unistrut, Secretary of Defence for the Alliance Defence Network<br />
<br />
It might be possible to deduce that there was at least some section of the ADN that was unhappy at the ‘special treatment’ that The North Pacific seemed to be receiving (of which the aforementioned speaker may, or may not have been, a part).<br />
<br />
However, this does nothing to hide the fact that Pixiedance’s rejection of the possibility of talks after this point was premature. The resolution was blunt, but as countless ADN officials pointed out, it had not been voted on, and, as it turned out, never was. Some have accused Pixiedance of a severe over reaction to a few minor incidences, others have speculated that this was an excuse that a section of The North Pacific government was looking for to withdraw from the ADN. Some simply suggested a personality clash created between The North Pacific members and the ADN Council, although this seems a small thing to waste an alliance on.<br />
<br />
Events in The North Pacific now include legal action on several counts towards several members, a crisis of faith in leadership and in the region as a whole, and an issue that is not likely to subside in an already troubled region:<br />
<br />
“The same Alliance that rescued us from the tyrant Great Bight, the same Alliance that shares our deepest values of freedom and democracy, and the same Alliance that holds together the defense of all democratic regions in the NS world from invaders. We are living in a strange time indeed if we are cozying up to our sworn enemies the NPO and rejecting our greatest allies…. for the worst display of diplomacy in the history of the North Pacific, the blame lies solely on Pixiedance.”<br />
— Mr Sniffles Reborn, Deputy Minister of The North Pacific<br />
<br />
Some have expressed concerns that The North Pacific, in its weakened state, is vulnerable to endorsement swappers and invaders. It is right then that the world remains watchful for this danger, unlikely as it is.<br />
<br />
However, the focus of this article is on the wider world’s response. Firstly, the absurd suggestion on the part of some that the ADN will respond with military intervention (presumably along the same lines that it liberated the region from Great Bight) is ludicrous – the ADN, for all that its critics might like to make out, does not invade regions because they refute membership of it. Besides, it is obvious that any such suggestion from its leadership would lead to a mass walk out among its rank and file. Currently, its only response has been one of dismay and disappointment, and a considerable amount of confusion, as well as some bitterness on the part of ADN members who took part in its liberation.<br />
<br />
The ADN, currently, has little option but to wait and see what happens. It is still possible for The North Pacific to withdraw their resignation, as they have a two week waiting period, and if there is indeed a change in leadership, or some of the legal action actually follows through, then that waiting period will become extraordinarily important:<br />
<br />
“I think the ADN should stay well away from the North Pacific and the North Pacific, if it is to have any chance of re-establishing peace and democracy in the region should take a much harsher view of what constitutes a native.”<br />
— Eurosoviets Federation, Founder of the Allied States of Euroislanders<br />
<br />
Other organisations such as the RLA, the Meritocracy and the PRP would also be best advised to sit this one out, offer no comment, and wait until The North Pacific re – approaches something close to normality.<br />
<br />
Interference in its affairs is likely only to inflame and confuse the situation, and dual membership on the part of some of its members has led to many of its internal conflicts in the past. The North Pacific’s sovereignty is crucial to it right now, and none of us here has the right to intervene in a region still suffering the after effects of one the grossest degradations of that in recent memory. <br />
<br />
===GUSTO===<br />
<br />
by Jasque<br />
<br />
Many of you have probably heard some mention of GUSTO on these forums, probably in relation to the Meritocratic Central Bank. Some of you may be actively involved in GUSTO, others may have no clue what GUSTO is. In this article, I would like to give you a brief introduction to GUSTO and list our current projects.<br />
<br />
GUSTO stands for the Globally Unified Statistics and Trade Organization. It is a civil department of the Organization of Sovereign Nations (OSN). GUSTO was created on February 27, 2004 with very ambitious goals. The project is still under development, but is coming close to achieving its goals.<br />
<br />
''GOALS of GUSTO''<br />
<br />
The purpose of GUSTO is to expand on the information provided by NationStates in order to generate statistics that give nations a more complete picture of their economic situation. Participant nations are generally assumed to be interconnected through trade, currency exchange, and foreign investment, as well as other forces. Because of this assumption, equilibrium on a global basis is a fundamental goal of GUSTO. Economic statistics therefore reflect not only the result of national statistics coming from the NationStates server (Economy, population, income tax, etc.), but also the economy as it interacts with all other nations in the GUSTO system. GUSTO is therefore a holistic system designed for a community of interconnected nations.<br />
<br />
The ultimate goal of GUSTO is to serve as a system that expands upon NationStates, but that is also able to stand on its own in many respects. Participant nations will have options that allow them to develop a more complete economic policy than is currently allowed in the game. Participants will be able to make policy decisions that affect many areas, including:<br />
<br />
Trade: Exports and Imports<br />
Monetary Policy<br />
Currency Exchange Rates<br />
Interest Rates<br />
Savings and Investment Decisions<br />
Fiscal Policy<br />
Productivity of Workers<br />
Aggregate Output, or GDP<br />
Employment<br />
Distribution of Income<br />
<br />
''CURRENT PROJECTS''<br />
<br />
Until now GUSTO has been carried out through Microsoft Excel and an XML gathering script created by Cortath. This works well, but takes a long time to update. The GUSTO team is currently working on automating the system so that updates will only take several seconds each day. Once this is complete, players will be able to see current statistics on their economy whenever they wish. While working on automating the system, an economic calculator similar in style to others found in the NS world was created and, on Christmas day, given to the members of the OSN in gratitude for their commitment to the organization.<br />
<br />
Once GUSTO is automated, many other features will be implemented. Nations will be able to make policy decisions that will affect their economies in new ways. The central banks will also have a much larger role, and monetary policy will become very important. To this end, GUSTO is working on creating a better currency exchange system to serve the banks.<br />
<br />
We are also working on a military calculator to go along with GUSTO. This calculator would work off of GUSTO statistics, generating information on the capabilities of a nation’s military. It would also create options to appropriate the military budget to the following areas: research, maintenance, training, supplies, production, and a more general fund (used for purchases and emergencies). Each of these will affect the capabilities of militaries, and nations will have a better chance to role play their conflicts by using the information provided by GUSTO.<br />
<br />
For anybody interested in more information in GUSTO, you may visit the OSN website, or the GUSTO blog. Updates are posted, on average, once a week. There is also an upcoming course on central banking in GUSTO, and, as always, you can ask your local MCB banker more about how to get involved.<br />

===North Pacific: Democracy Rebuilding===<br />
by Czarist Duchies<br />
<br />
North Pacific, not The North Pacific, but just North Pacific. It’s one of the largest player created regions, it has a strong well-trained defensive force, its democracy is one of the best organized and most efficient in NationStates, and it’s known for its strong Foreign Affairs and Immigration departments. But things were not always so in this ancient region.<br />
<br />
Only a few months ago, North Pacific was a land ridden with chaos as invader after invader swept the region. This is an account of the rebuilding of North Pacific, as the beacon of democracy it was, is, and, God-willing, will always be.<br />
<br />
August. North Pacific has been rocked by constant invasion. Before that the region was griefed, separatist movements had decimated the population, the founder deleted. The region is currently under the rule of a “defender group” known as the LRA. It’s leader; Pax Romania. Despite well over a week of rebellion, the LRA still controls the region and refuses to leave despite requests from almost every nation in the region. This was the point at which I entered the scene. Russo-Princepolis, had been serving as delegate of Pacific NationStates, a region which had old ties to North Pacific through its founder. A nation passed through the region informing the region that “their group was defending North Pacific and there was no threat to us, so please don’t meddle, thank-you-very-much.” Big mistake. The first thing Russo-Princepolis did was to “meddle”. Pacific NationStates, now in its decline, had been threatened by invasion on multiple occasions within the last weeks. Every danger was to be investigated. Russo-Princepolis was to North Pacific to see what was going on. The LRA, though not actively being terrible oppressive, was just refusing to leave. In the following week, Russo-Princepolis took an active role, leading a diplomatic effort backed by Pacific NationStates “encouraging” the LRA to leave. Fortunately, Russo-Princepolis, with several opposition leaders was able to talk the LRA out of the region. But the damage had been done before the LRA left North Pacific; it was isolated from the world by ages of war, shrunken far within its former boundaries, and utterly disorganized. Before any reconstruction could begin to take place, another usurper, Adairia seized the delegate’s seat and held it until forced out by the nations of North Pacific.<br />
<br />
It was at this point that Russo-Princepolis put together the ICDNP, that is, the Inter-regional Consortium for the Defense of North Pacific. It was a small alliance of regions, but it was sufficient to offer NP a shield under which to begin rebuilding itself. Out of the ashes rose Unelion, a strong nation who led North Pacific in its rebuilding. Under his delegacy the population rose back over 150 nations and a democratic system was developed. It was Unelion who established the system of Ministers and an elected Ruling Council. He proceeded to organize the government to a greater degree, aggressively pursuing Foreign Affairs and Recruiting to rebuild the region internally and externally. It appeared that North Pacific was back on the road to greatness. So with a faltering region of his own to take care of and his duties as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chancellor, Russo-Princepolis dissolved the ICDNP.<br />
<br />
Weeks passed peacefully and the region continued to flourish under the strong democratic leadership of Unelion. However, in one fell swoop the region was in turmoil again as yet another usurper, Evoyyep, used outside backing and endorsement swapping to seize the Delegacy. War, war such has been seen in only a very few regions fell upon the region. For a week it raged as Evoyyep expelled whomsoever used their title as Minister or violated the harsh NPO law he forced upon the region. But calls to our friends did not go unheard. Nations flooded from everywhere, prepared to take vengeance for the harm done to them by such invaders. The greatest contributer was The North Pacific who answered our call speedily and with great force. Evoyyep was eventually removed; deleted for griefing. And so another war had come and gone, leaving in its wake a crippled North Pacific. But there was still life left in North Pacific and it was not so badly off as it was after the LRA and Adairia, its government in exile quickly resumed activities and work began to rebuild the region.<br />
<br />
Since then the region, though suffering threats of invasion, has existed peacefully, a neutral giant, friend to all those who are kind to it. Unelion continued to govern wisely until he was peacefully replaced by another nation. The nation who had most actively and generously answered North Pacific’s call for help. That was Talthia. And that transfer of power was one of the greatest landmarks in the rebuilding of North Pacific. It proved that the government and the region could and would remain stable when the delegate was replaced by another.<br />
<br />
Talthia took up leadership of the region and has led it since. There have been many landmarks on the slow recovery of North Pacific. The Embassy system was refined and expanded as Russo-Princepolis, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Talthia endevoured to reopen the isolated NP to the world. The region’s size more than doubled since the LRA, reaching over 270 nations thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the Minister of Immigration, Biotherm. The council continued to actively hand down legislation and has now had two peaceful elections. The Senate, a larger legislative body of which any nation can be a member without being elected was created by Talthia and passed by the Council. Ministers have left office and been peacefully replaced and UN votes decided upon. Recent landmarks in the history of North Pacific seem to mark the end of reconstruction and the beginning of normalized existence for North Pacific. The NPDF, North Pacific’s Defensive Force successfully completed training and developed a good structure. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs began talks not just of friendship, but of alliance with several regions, finally completing the opening up of North Pacific and reaffirming it as a concrete diplomatic power. A judicial system was passed by both Senate and Council while talks of a Constitution begin in Earnest.<br />
<br />
North Pacific has been forced to take a long road to achieve the greatness for which it was destined, but it is stronger and wiser for it.<br />

===B4kst4br Retires from NationStates===<br />
By Altair and Jasque<br />
<br />
On the morning of New Year's Eve, the Meritocracy received word that long time Senator B4kst4br had retired. In a brief message on the boards, B4kst4br announced his retirement to NationStates. The staff at the Meritocratic Times expresses its regret and wishes the Senator the best of luck in the future. To mark the passage of one of our most distinguished Senators, the Senator from Jasque made a statement and we had time to conduct a brief interview.<br />
<br />
===B4kst4br===<br />
By Jasque<br />
<br />
I am sad to say that the Senate will begin the New Year without one of its hardest working members. On December 30th, Christian Morte Venzetti of The United Socialist States of B4kst4br officially resigned from the Senate. He had already been removed for inactivity some time before this, but his resignation confirmed that he would not be coming back any time soon. I had the chance to work with him on a great many occasions while he served in the Senate, and I would like to take this opportunity to honor his achievements.<br />
<br />
The first thing I always remember about B4kst4br is that he was the Senator who discovered that Viridacity was a traitor to the Meritocracy. Very few individuals knew this at the time, but through B4kst4br’s hard work the Senate leadership was kept well informed. His work on discovering Viridacity’s true motives was also the cause of what I like to think of as the second birth of the MIA. During Thomasia’s time we had a great spy network, but activity fizzled out some time after Lord Tom withdrew his efforts. B4kst4br was able to revive the MIA and turn it into a productive asset of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
While B4kst4br proved his worth as a spy in discovering Viridacity, his greatest strength was in organizing people and assigning them to where they could do the most good. He showed this during his brief term as Lictor during my first Consulship, but his talent really shined through during his countless terms as head of the MIA. I planned on naming the number of times he was reappointed, but I have lost count. Let’s just say it was a great many times, and he probably enjoyed a great reappointment rate than any other Senator in this body. This was because he always did a superb job with whatever resources the Senate had, and the Senate’s leaders always had timely and relevant information on the many activities in the wider NationStates world.<br />
<br />
While the MIA has fallen out of favor in recent times, I would like to remind this body that in times past it was an essential tool of the Meritocracy, and that it was B4kst4br who made it possible. Many people can make good spies, but very few can run a spy network. Anybody can repeat a rumor, but few can gain access to the hard evidence needed to make a well informed decision. Christian Morte Venzetti did all this, and I, for one, will miss his presence in the Senate. <br />
<br />
===An Interview with B4kst4br===<br />
By Altair<br />
<br />
MT: What was your greatest (or most favorite) moment in the Meritocracy?<br />
B4: My most favorite moment in my merit history was when Consul Jasque appointed me to Lictor. I still have that PM saved somewhere. I worked hard for that position, and I was really into military tactics (I still am). But kinda fresh from the ACC and all, it was great to be back in control of a military. Now of course the merit doesn't really have need for a military, and it was voluntary, so I had to adjust my strategy. All in all, that had to be my most favorite moment.<br />
<br />
MT: What offices did you hold while you were Senator?<br />
B4: well, I held Lictor for a short time, DDI of the MIA, and Aedile. Im not sure if I missed one.<br />
<br />
MT: What past organizations were you a part of?<br />
B4: I was a center piece at the ACC (Not the AA), but they easily replaced me with Raptor when I left. Then I came here. From here I have branched to such organizations as the ADN, RLA, and the prestigious OSA. There are more, but again, my memory is not on my side.<br />
<br />
MT: You told us in your farewell thread that you will no longer have time for NationStates. Would you like to add any further comments regarding your RL time constraints?<br />
B4: Ya, RL is more important than NS. I know, an NS junkie saying that is heresy, but its true. Never let it interfear with RL. But RL had finally caught up to me, and I must turn in my nation. sad really.<br />
<br />
MT: What about the car accident?<br />
B4: It was a tragic event, and shows what a drunk hit and run can do. If I ever find that guy...<br />
<br />
MT: Do you wish to say anything about your spy work?<br />
B4: Most of it is classified, and if released, would hurt many organizations that I have worked so hard to help protect and/or build. But my spy work goes to show that anyone can be good at it, even if you don't think so. I always thought my calling in the NS world was military tactics, but I found that it was spy work. It goes to show that you should try anything and everything, you'll find something you're good at.<br />
<br />
MT: You taught about spying in the University. Do you have any comments about the course you taught?<br />
B4: It was a very toned down type of spy work I was teaching. More recon and how to do it unseen sort of thing. The only way for me to actually teach someone my ways was to take them under my wing. I have only done that once, and that was with Tyrantar, he may not have known it, but I was trying to teach him all I could.<br />
<br />
But the course was never finished do to RL constraints on my part. I do apologize for that, and one of these days, I may even open a school in NS, teaching such things as recon spy work, tactics across the board, how to read your enemy and such. Look for that around Febuary, if I get the time. Haven't figured out a name for it though.<br />
<br />
MT: How do you wish the name B4kst4br to be remembered six months from now?<br />
B4: I'm pretty sure they won't remember me, but if they happen to, I would like to be remembered as a decent spy, because that's what I was. Not great, but not bad. I did my job. There are many others out there that greatly surpass me, but I'm not worried about it, I did the best I could, and that's all I can ask of myself.<br />
<br />
MT: Do you have any advice to leave for the MIA?<br />
B4: Yes, a little. The problem that I always had with the MIA was activity. People love to go inactive fast, recon just isn't interesting, and you had to be trusted to be a covert agent. SO, I suggest this, you let your agents know what they need to know on a need-to-know basis.<br />
<br />
Give them there own forum and such to report, but also give a general forum for semi-sensitive material for all the covert agents to talk and exchange info. I dont know if it would work, it's just an idea, but always be recruiting. Out of 10 guys recruited, there will be that one guy who is your key man and will stay dedicated.<br />
<br />
Thank you, B4.<br />
<br />
===An Interview with Densim===<br />
By Altair<br />
<br />
In a region of economically powerful nations, Densim stands out as one of the best of the best. Last week we sat down and had a talk with the CEO.<br />
<br />
MT = The Meritocratic Times (Altair)<br />
D = Densim<br />
<br />
MT: What is your primary nation?<br />
D: The Corporate Union of Densim.<br />
<br />
MT: What first attracted you to NationStates? To the Meritocracy?<br />
D: I was first attracted to NationStates after seeing a link on solidsharkey.com. I saw the simplicity of the game and decided it wouldn't hurt to start a nation, such a simple game could never take that much of my time. So much for that.<br />
<br />
I originally stumbled across the Meritocracy when I tired of my previous region, hell. Back then I was more interested in the torturing of my population, so hell fit. That, however, got tiring, and I set out to find a region where I could work the economic angle. Even in those early days, I was making it into the world's top ten, so it seemed a good way to go. After some link-hopping, I eventually came here. Or rather, New Meritocracy, but what happened there is another story entirely.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, the ideals of sovereignty and free enterprise appealed to me greatly. It was a match made in heaven.<br />
<br />
MT: What other NS organizations besides the Meritocracy do you belong to (or have belonged to)?<br />
D: Well, I had a brief (very brief) stint as part of the OSN. That's about it. The Meritocracy has been the only place I was ever really interested in.<br />
<br />
MT: You've written on the boards before that you are in college. What field of study are you in?<br />
D: A mishap in my first year had me taking a dual major in the political and computer sciences. I'm planning on withdrawing from one, but I haven't decided which, yet.<br />
<br />
MT: Computer science? That's my field. I have to ask the eternal question: What's your favorite editor? Emacs or VI?<br />
D: Emacs, for mostly sentimental reasons.<br />
<br />
MT: Sentimental reasons? Could you explain? Have you tried XEmacs before?<br />
D: I only mean as a matter of familiarity. And no, I haven't tried XEmacs.<br />
<br />
MT: What do you consider is the most notable thing you've ever done?<br />
D: The handling of my economy is hands down the most notable thing I've done. Judging from the telegrams I've received, I seem to be one of the most hated and envied of all states in existence, at least on the scale of individual states.<br />
<br />
MT: You are consistently at the top of the rankings in The New Meritocracy. How many rankings are you in the top 10 in the world? Are you ranked #1 in anything?<br />
D: I haven't actually counted exactly, but I believe I've made the worlds top ten in five or six different categories. I have been #1 in the world twice. However, that was a very long time ago, before the population bug eternally shunted me down to #5 and lower.<br />
<br />
MT: Exactly how many telegrams does a #1 world ranking tend to generate?<br />
D: Disgusting amounts. Seriously...If I make the top 10, I can expect to have my normally empty telegram inbox filled with recruitment letters, people asking how to play the game, war threats, requests for economic treaties, and more.<br />
<br />
MT: What is the strangest telegram you've ever gotten?<br />
D: Well...I got this one telegram from some over active environmental activist. Apparently he considered the environmental state of my NS state to be a crime against mother earth in real life[/i]. He wouldn't leave me alone about it for a good couple weeks.<br />
<br />
MT: Where did the name "Densim" come from?<br />
D: It's completely random. When I first created this state, I sat for about five minutes, trying to think of the perfect name. I failed.<br />
<br />
MT: May I ask why you think you failed?<br />
D: Because it wasn't the perfect name. It seemed passable, but not great. Though time has worn it down to a comfortable familiarity, and I like it better than I used to.<br />
<br />
MT: What kind of image do you wish people to see when they think of the nation of Densim?<br />
D: A monolithic corporate powerhouse is always nice. But first and foremost, we must maintain a stance of neutrality and fairness, in order to keep our trading partners happy. Also, more personally, I would like to be viewed like this.<br />
<br />
MT: Densim is a Compulsory Consumerist State. Is that by design?<br />
D: While it's very fitting, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. For the longest time I was a Corporate Police State, and I've made forays into the world of Capitalist Paradise. Any one of the three is fine by me.<br />
<br />
MT: I see also that crime is unknown in Densim. Do you think that that helps your economy ranking?<br />
D: It must. Crime isn't good for business. I suppose it helps that illegal industries elsewhere in the world are perfectly legal within the borders of Densim.<br />
<br />
MT: You have only an All-Consuming Meritocratic economic ranking in the census. Have you tried to get that to Superpower, or does that matter to you?<br />
D: I've noticed that my economic power within NationStates and my economic rating within the Meritocracy seem to be mutually exclusive. My constant drive towards profits often necessitate moves that would seem to curb both civil rights and political freedoms. It is the unfortunate case that both these things are necessary for a high ranking within the Senate.<br />
<br />
MT: Which NS issues do you attribute some of your economic success to (for example, corporate welfare seems to be a required ingredient to gaining a Frightening economic ranking)?<br />
D: Corporate welfare isn't required...But it does help. However, as I've said before, subsidization in Densim is hardly as rampant as the UN rankings would have you believe. Because our government is an automotive corporation, naturally all government funds will also be corporate funds. The rankings are just too blind to take this into account.<br />
<br />
Other reasons would include are very leniant advertising rules. Some might actually call them strict, but the personal radios are also used to give other important information, so never mind that.<br />
<br />
Overall, Densim is just a very business friendly state. Think of an issue. Think of the solution that would benefit the economy most. That's what Densim would do.<br />
<br />
MT: What other kind of games do you like? Did you try the Cryptogram in issue 8?<br />
D: Other games? I'm a table top RPG geek. Seriously, it's sad how much money I drop into that hobby. It's in the order of thousands of dollars. Well, hundreds now that I'm a student, but still...<br />
<br />
Also, games like the Civilization series plus Alpha Centauri, to feed my lust for nation building. And Counterstrike, Day of Defeat, and Halo to sate my bloodlust.<br />
<br />
I did try the cryptogram. However, the battery in this laptop I'm on died a bit before I finished. I never got around to doing it again. C'est la vie. (Editor's note: We tried. See the solution to Cryptogram I).<br />
<br />
MT: Congratulations on your recent citizenship vote, Senator. Now that you've been reinstated to the Senate, what kinds of things do you see yourself doing in the coming weeks?<br />
D: Primarily, refamiliarizing myself with all those forums I can't see. Mostly, I plan on getting back into some sort of groove. I threads will be read, posts will be made. Not very exciting, but there it is.<br />
MT: Since you're one of the most senior Senators and have been around since before the Meritocracy was first advertised in the NS news, would you care to comment on the changes you've seen in the Senate?<br />
D: Well, the most important change, the catalyst for every other change that was to come, was the massive growth. When I first joined the Meritocracy, it was quite small. Despite the slick, professional forum, the place had a sort of small town feel to it. Close-knit, a small time operation. Everyone knew one another reasonably well, and Senators, for the most part, had similar ideologies, primarily the defense of both sovereignty and the free market.<br />
<br />
Since then, we've voted in states with vastly differing viewpoints (a marxist, even!). While there are advantages to a wider range of thought and opinion, it has resulted in a distancing between states. The small town sort of feel is gone. We no longer only look professional, we are professional.<br />
<br />
Which isn't to say that this is bad. Only...Different. Do I miss those early days? Definately, sometimes. But there is plenty enough interesting about the Meritocracy of today to make it interesting in it's own right. <br />

====The Meritocratic Central Bank wants you!====<br />
By Eli<br />
<br />
The Meritocratic Central Bank would like to announce that, we have changed to a public forum, and open to anyone that has registered here. We would invite any nations interested in to check out the forum and ask questions. We also are interested in adding nations to our roster of member states. The only requirement is that we have the time and the manpower to add you, and that you convert your NS currency to the New Merit.<br />
<br />
We also are in need of some additional directors for the Bank. To qualify as a Director of the MCB one needs to be a Senator of The Meritocracy and one of the member states in the MCB. The Bank has one director for every five member states and we are two directors short of our allotment. Please volunteer for service to the Bank by responding in this thread. I promise that all of the economic minutiae that you did not know existed about your nation will keep your interest piqued. <br />

====Senator of the Year Awards====<br />
Presented by the Senator from Soigacas<br />
<br />
Senators, Residents and Foreign Diplomats. You join us here in the Senate Hall after another fine year in the life of the Meritocracy. 2004 saw many great things for the Meritocracy, far too numerous to mention here. But what really makes the Meritocracy stand out from the crowd is the calibre of the Senators who sit in these halls. And this is why you are all here tonight - to congratulate those Senators who really have made an outstanding contribution to the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
We have two awards to hand out - the Senator of the Year award and the Consul of the Year award. We asked the entire Senate (plus a couple of prominent residents) to choose the winners of both these awards, and we had a good response.<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the winner of the Consul of the Year award...<br />
<br />
Aesculapius AND Jasque<br />
<br />
The votes were tied at seven each, so you'll have to share it. A Runner-Up Award goes to Argyres (5 votes) who will receive a basket of kittens in the post. Congratulations, and speeches are required by Meritocratic Law.<br />
<br />
So, onto our second award, the more hotly contested Senator of the Year 2004 award. To present the award, our Aedile, Altair.<br />
<br />
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is indeed an honor to present this award. Besides thousands of posts in the forum, this Senator has given us a wonderful year of service and tasty food at the same time. Without further ado, I present to you the Senator of the Year ...<br />
<br />
The Distinguished Senator from Hipposhire!<br />
<br />
*Applause*<br />
<br />
Thank you Altair, and many congratulations to Hipposhire, who I'm sure will be thrilled with this award. A basket of kittens is are on their way to the runner up, Bumpy.<br />
<br />
That's all from the Senate Hall - have a safe journey home!<br />
<br />

===1st Consular Poll===<br />
By Altair<br />
<br />
The next Consular election cycle is upon us and at 2am, Jan 25th, a poll was started by the Senator from Aesculapius in the Secure Senate Chambers. At 11am, Jan 26th the results stood:<br />
<br />
Bumpy: 4<br />
Corintur: 2<br />
Cortath: 12 (3)<br />
Eureka: 8 (5)<br />
Glasguensis: 11 (3)<br />
<br />
The number at the left indicates the number voting in the poll. The number at the right indicates the number of Senators who have voiced support that they would vote for the candidate. It should also be noted that the platforms for the Senators from Bumpivania and Eureka were not available throughout the time this poll was taken.<br />
<br />
The results of this poll do not necessarily represent the opinions of the staff of the Meritocratic Times and are intended for entertainment purposes only.<br />
<br />
===Consular Platforms===<br />
By Altair<br />
<br />
The nominations for the next Consul of the New Meritocracy are now closed. Eligible Senators for nomination were: Aesculapius, Altair*, Argyres, Ars Longa, Britannia, Bumpivania, Camozayo, Corintur, Cortath, Densim, Dorado, Eureka, Evans, Eyes only (Crazygirl)*, Freedomnia, Free Trade States, Glasguensis, Hipposhire, International Racing*, Kapitolska*, Kitimat, New Jasque, Old Lutheran, Pittsland*, Puppet States, and Yoco (* denotes a lack of Statement of Acceptable Service).<br />
<br />
Nominated, Seconded were the Senators from Bumpivania, Corintur, Cortath, Eureka, Evans, and Glasguensis, Aesculapius, Altair, Densim, Kitimat, Jasque, Old Lutheran, Puppet States, Yoco and Hipposhire. Accepting their nominations were the Senators from Bumpivania, Corintur, Cortath, Eureka, and Glasguensis. Their platforms appear in alphabetical order in this article.<br />
<br />
====Bumpivania====<br />
<br />
Senators of the Meritocracy,<br />
<br />
I stand before you as always, a humble Servant of the Meritocracy. I have been and remain content to serve in whatever capacity the Senate may require. I have served in every ministry we have, sometimes more effectively than others but always putting forth my best and most honorable efforts, striving at all times to embody Diplomacy and Leadership; My resume of service is in my Signature.<br />
<br />
I have declared my intention to run for and perhaps win the office of Consul. Herewith I present my Cabinet, Platform and intended policies.<br />
<br />
Any leader may be presumed to be "as good as the team he leads", I have chosen my Cabinet accordingly.<br />
<br />
Former Consul Jasque has graciously agreed to serve as Quaestor and Vice Consul should Bumpivania emerge victorious. His experience and prior Service will be invaluable to the Senate and I look forward to consultation with him on matters of Foreign Policy.<br />
Foreign Policy is much discussed these days and I believe that it is in the best interests of the Meritocracy to proceed with the renegotiation of our alliances in accordance with the recommendations of the Alliance Inquisition.<br />
<br />
It is generally agreed that these agreements do not serve the Senate well in their current form, therefore I intend to scrap them and start from scratch. The Foreign Diplomatic Corps will be very busy with the draughting of new agreements with old allies, preserving our good relations abroad and actively recruiting worthy Nations.<br />
<br />
Senator Corintur is a qualified and worthy candidate for Consul, I am humbled and gratified that he has agreed to accept the responsibility of the Praetor's Office should the Senate favor a Bumpivanian Consular term.<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Internal Policy will be tasked with what can only be described as Herculean efforts to integrate the MCB into our international interactions. I would like to see each subscribing nation have an active account in the MCB, where funds expended in RP Transactions are reflected on the balance sheet, giving "real" reasons to negotiate trade agreements and avoid paying fines and penalties.<br />
<br />
I believe this will enhance the "realism" of our interactions and return our regional focus to international politics, trade, and diplomacy. In this way, I hope to revitalize our region, stimulating interest and activity in commercial exchange and thereby encourageing immigration. Let the balance sheet show the relative merits of our individual ideologies.<br />
<br />
My choice for Censor is Senator Siosia, He stands his ground under pressure, has high standards, and may be expected to discharge the duties of the post with dilligence and excellence.<br />
<br />
While it's true that his stubborn nature has worked against him in the past, a stubborn nature can be a definite asset when dealing with the Censors role; where the investigation and prosecution of crimes against the Senate call for objectivity and a thoroughness many have no stomach for. The Censor is also responsible for the administration of Citizenship applications and Votes. Arguably the most work of all Cabinet Posts, it calls for consistent diligence.<br />
<br />
The Lictor's post has been offered to a Senator who has yet to respond to my request; I shall consider the offer open until Wednesday Noon EST. After which time I shall explore other options.<br />
<br />
FDC thread on a proposed Charter Amendment Article III A (Pages 1 2 ) wrote:<br />
The Consul is beholden to the Senate and serves at its pleasure, any action by the Consul is therefore presumed to be the will of the Senate.<br />
The means by which a Consul may be called to task are readily available in the form of a no confidence vote, and should a Consul unwisely enter an agreement against the will of the Senate the Senate may vote to withdraw from it.<br />
The Consul HAS the authority to speak for the Senate, for this reason, if no other, the Senate must choose wisely when electing a Consul.<br />
<br />
The time for the Senate to choose a single voice is once again upon us, I believe that the manner of expression is at least as important as what is said.<br />
<br />
The Choice is yours. <br />

I have not come before this body to earn an elected post before. I feel that this is the most true test of merit that can be found in this body, besides being accepted into the community. As such, I would like to express my firm belief that everyone running in this election certainly is worthy of this post, and I wish them all good luck.<br />
<br />
Also due to my inexperience in running for elected positions, I will keep this platform simple. My beliefs for the future of this body can be summed up into a few key ideals, which I will list and describe; should anyone have questions, I will be happy to answer them in this thread.<br />
Primarily, the Meritocracy was founded as a bastion of states' rights; that is, national sovereignty. It is my firm belief that these must be maintained both in the realm of NationStates gameplay and regional roleplay. Recent events have forced us to look closely at what sovereignty means in the dynamics of the game, and how far we are willing to let this issue effect our policy, both foreign and internal.<br />
<br />
My belief is that, in this body, national and player sovereignty is sacred. We have no more right to demand that a nation do anything more (or less) than that nation has agreed to. Upholding the laws of the Meritocracy is certainly included, but we should not exploit this to control the actions of players when they play outside of this arena.<br />
<br />
This clearly affects foreign policy. I used to believe that this alliance and forum should be a city on the hill, a place of mediation and reconciliation. Now I realise that we should not try to force our influence on other regions and organisations, but that through the Senators here who represent such a large slice of NationStates, we already do. We should maintain a benevolent neutrality, as that is the only way we can be true to all of our members. We cannot become entangled in wars and espionage, but rather expand our horizons through diplomacy and comradeship. In time, as we have accepted members of both ADN and NPO and all those in between, we will become more of a rainbow region, made up of the best of all facets of the game. Antagonising any one party means alienating any number of people who might feel at home here, and prove to have more merit than you or I.<br />
<br />
In a more practical sense, we should tell the rest of the world that we are not a watchdog service for our members. We do not claim responsibility for what individual Senators do outside of our walls. Individuals might become delegates of feeders through coups, and individuals might join the resistance against them. Such are some functions in the game; this region fills a different niche.<br />
<br />
I'm sure my position on the Legions is well known, at least to those who are concerned with them. Rest assured that I will not attempt their dismemberment unless the Senate wishes it. However, I also will see no reason to use them unless a province is threatened.<br />
My internal policy is simple; if it isn't broken, don't fix it. A few other candidates have thrown up the age-old "Charter convention" idea. I believe that the current systems works; keeping the Charter more difficult to amend will make people think more about it before so eagerly changing it. I will support changes to the Judicial Code and any legislation that will protect sovereignty, but will frown upon the creation of needless bureaucracy.<br />
<br />
Finally, I believe that we have recieved a boon in the return of many of the "Old Guard" in recent months. While I am not exactly a stickler for tradition, some things have been said regarding the course that this alliance has taken after their passing. I would like to talk to them and find out what the original Senate would have thought of our current position. While I think that we as a body should evolve, I firmly believe that we should not forget or abandon what this region was created for.<br />
<br />
My Cabinet will be announced as I choose them and they accept. I will now answer any questions you have.<br />
<br />
====Cortath====<br />
<br />
Greetings, and welcome everyone.<br />
<br />
Let me begin by saying that I am honored to be nominated and seconded for the position of Consul again, and let me acknowledege the Consul Eli for his faithful service to the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
I suppose now is not the time for modesty, so for those newer Senators, I would like to simply state that I have held the positions of Deputy Director of the Foreign Diplomatic Corps under the Unistrut Consulship, rising to the Quaestor position during the same. I was appointed Quaestor and Vice-Consul under the Aesculapius Administration, after which I ran for Consul, lost to Consul Eli, and was appointed his Quaestor and Vice-Consul.<br />
<br />
In my last platform, I spoke of the Meritocracy as a guiding lighthouse to the world, a bedrock of strength and stability, and still believe it to be so. A lighthouse is a light that one can choose to follow, when charting the troubled waters of our world, and I believe we should try to spread, not our influence, but rather our reputation across the world, so as to give every nation with merit the opportunity to find our light.<br />
<br />
I believe the opportunity for the Meritocracy to take up a leadership role in the world is possible, when we are united in solidarity of our purpose. The situation in the North Pacific is a place where our leadership and our contributions can help in restoring democracy to a region now in tyranny. The North Pacific, until week ago, was a cherished ally through the ALL Alliance, and I believe now could be the time to prove our faith to our allies.<br />
<br />
During the Consulship of Eli, the Meritocracy has indeed gained back some of the respect in parts of the world that we have lost, and I would like to think that I have had a hand in it. I believe that through taking concrete diplomatic action against an injustice we are all united against, we can be once again seen as the leaders we once were. I have asked Senator Jasque to head the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with his wise judgement and leadership. I would like to see Mendanau continue his frankly fantastic revitalization and rebuilding of the Meritocratic Intelligence Agency, and I will encourage my Quaestor-nominee to maintain Senator Mendanau in that post.<br />
<br />
I still believe that we can do more to attract citizenship applicants of merit, and I intend, through the new Ministry and its Deputy Aedile for Public Relations, to put out our good name to all the corners of the globe that have not heard of the Meritocracy. Having come from one of these dark corners myself, I do know that many realms of Nationstates have never heard our good name, and there is without a doubt untapped meritorious candidates who could come into our fold.<br />
I would also like to see the expansions of the News and Opinion Agency, to include its own set of forums on this forum, for things such as feedback. Most news agencies have their own actual forum, but in keeping the forum on merit.jink.org, we should give the News and Opinion Agency all the advantage that others news agencies have. I'd also like to see our outside readership increase, perhaps through mirroring the Times via a blog or through an efficient distribution network. I have appointed an Aedile, but am still awaiting confirmation. [edit: Altair has accepted to be my Aedile-nominee.[/edit]<br />
<br />
I would like to see the Charter Convention of the Aesculapi Administration come to fruition. We have Charter Amendments, lying in the Ministry of Internal Policy for nearly every article and section of the Charter, and surely some of them are with merit and could be incorporated into the Charter. I have always been a proponent of updating laws and the Charter, from my previous support of the Charter Convention, to my updating of the Ambassador Act of 2003 during Eli's Administration. I do not believe, however, that we should create a Charter that never needs amending, simply because we admit, as a Senate, that often times and circumstances change in such a way so as to merit a change in the Charter. I have asked Senator Yoco, a Senator of the highest degree to be my Praetor-nominee. In the administering of the votes of the Meritocracy and the Census, Senator Glasguensis has proven his merit countless times and has graciously accepted to be my Censor-Nominee, as well as to be my Vice-Consul.<br />
<br />
I wish to see a renewed interest in the Legions. I would like our defense forces to find themselves a purpose, whether it be in a gameplay aspect or even an RP aspect. I have asked Senator Dilber to be my Lictor, as he has extensive military experience, and I have little doubt that he shall do great things with our Legions. I hope that his fresher look at the workings of the Meritocracy and its cabinet will provide a new perspective on my potential administration.<br />
<br />
I thank you Senators and guests for your time, and I eagerly await any questions you might have.<br />
<br />
====Eureka====<br />
<br />
A newsman breaks into the Eurekan News Network coverage of Capitollium and Densim's growing wheat yields. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Most Noble King of Eureka."<br />
<br />
***A television camera is focused on a thin pedestal, the Eurekan Royal Coat of Arms mounted on front. The King steps into shot under a hail of flashes from the assembled press and begins speaking***<br />
<br />
Good morning. We are here today to announce Our platform for the upcoming Meritocratic Consular elections and release Our cabinet. We will take questions at the end of the press conference.<br />
<br />
The King clears his throat, and beings his speech.<br />
<br />
Senators of the Meritocracy, we stand at a turning point. History is replete with turning points, and it is how we all move forward that defines who we are as a people, a nation, or even a region.<br />
<br />
The Meritocracy has always stood for the belief that the members of the Senate are better than those outside of it. It is why so many outside this region look upon us favourably. It is why so many campaign to join our ranks. It is why so many are envious of our position.<br />
<br />
This belief is the bedrock that all else is built upon. We are a Meritocracy. We will always remain a meritocracy. Worth in this august region is based upon what a senator or resident can achieve, do or know. By promoting the best in all of us, we have created a virtual utopia in where the members of the Meritocratic Senate are able to come and discuss, legislate and propose how to make their own lot in life better.<br />
<br />
But some have forgotten! Some have forgotten that it is for your own nation that you are here! Senators all, none of you are here for Eureka! We are not here for Britannia, or Camozayo, or Nebutopia. We are all here for Ourselves! We are not members of a single uniform government. We are representatives of our respective nations, and we all should be attempting to get the ideal outcome for our own nations.<br />
<br />
This region once again needs to be reminded that sovereign rights form the very backbone of the charter. That any action that will infringe upon another nations' or regions' sovereign rights is the most grave of choices! We cannot, as the decision makers for the most august region in the world, allow ourselves to forget that if we forgo the belief in sovereign rights we shall become as those we loathe.<br />
<br />
A Eurekan consularship would commit to the complete revision of the current charter. Clause by clause and paragraph by paragraph, Our cabinet will commit itself to simplifying and expediting the charter so that it is no longer the ponderous document it is now. The issue of the legitimacy of the right of the nation will be applied to all aspects of the charter.<br />
<br />
Under a Eurekan consularship, We will undertake to initiate what was once the norm. We will investigate the possibility of and implementation of senatorial private members' bills. This is a term We use to allow individual Senators to once again bring legislation before the Senate without ministerial scrutiny. It will allow any Senator to bring any legislation before the Senate. It will once again open the Senate floor to any Senator who wishes to legislate for their own benefit. Investigations must be made, however initial plans for these private members bills will require a 75% majority to pass the floor.<br />
<br />
Foreign relations have become a very important part of this Senate. Eureka does not back away from that. But we need to be the rock against the ocean. We need to be the strong place that others bash against, to no avail. Let them flow around US, not US around them.<br />
We need a strong home, else our foreign relations are weak. With a strong base of operations to move from, We will be stronger. Eureka has long been an opponent of military action against other sovereign regions except in the case of alliance obligations or direct threat to the Meritocracy. We will never be in favour of rampant military action simply for the sake of what some Senators may feel is their moral duty. Ideological differences are not enough to warrant military force! Because you do not agree with the plans or actions of another nation or region does not mean that that region or its leadership is wrong!<br />
<br />
Let them organise their regions! This meritocracy should and will be under a Eurekan Consularship a place where alliances are honoured, others are made, and wars fought for the protection of what we hold dear. It is not Our place to spit upon the history of this Senate. We will not, nor will we ever look down upon its members simply because they offer a different view from Eureka - save for the one that matters most! We are a collection of like minded nations who are striving for the best We can guarantee for our own individual nations.<br />
To believe otherwise is contrary to the intent of the charter, and the very ideals on which this Senate was founded.<br />
<br />
As for Our cabinet, the following members have agreed to serve. Positions will be announced after the election and negotiations continue for ministries.<br />
<br />
The nations of Jasque, Nebutopia, Puppet States, Dorado and Thomasia (pending his readmittance to the Senate) are confirmed as members. Kitimat, Britannia and Altair are yet to confirm their acceptence, however We are hopeful such august members of the Senate will accept.<br />
<br />
We request any Senator who wishes to raise any constructive comments do so, and We will reply as soon as We are able to.<br />
<br />
====Glasguensis====<br />
<br />
Fellow Senators,<br />
<br />
Once again I come before you seeking your mandate for a Consular term. This is a key time for the Meritocracy - the return of prominent Senators from the past has forced us all to consider what we once were, what we have become, and what we want for the future.<br />
<br />
We cannot turn back the clock - the days when the Meritocracy could function on unspoken understandings and a lack of formality depended on there being a small group of members who knew each other well. We have simply grown too large to be able to function in this way - there are many of you I have never spoken to personally, and can't presume to "know". We have created the structures of the Senate in order to avoid total chaos, and structures are indeed necessary. However, lately I believe some amongst us have become overly concerned with legislating everything in minute detail. It is time for a fundamental review of how we operate, and I therefore intend to do the following:<br />
<br />
1) Hold a debate to create a vision and values statement. What does our alliance actually stand for? What are our aims? What type of nations do we wish to attract?<br />
2) Enact a Charter convention, to examine the totality of the Charter, to debate what we hold as fundamental principles, and to create a document which should basically never need further amendment, because it embodies our core values.<br />
3) Hold a legislation convention, to examine every piece of legislation with the aim of simplifying it and making it more consistent.<br />
<br />
We must ask ourselves fundamental questions such as how we should judge applicants, who should be eligible for Consul, how should the court system work, what is the role of the Tribune, and many other things. I fully intend that this will be a structured process, and while the debate progresses the current laws will of course still apply.<br />
<br />
My foreign policy will be to revitalise our relationships throughout the world. I will encourage ambassador exchange and foster trade agreements and intelligence sharing. I don't rule out military alliances, but I am not in favour of our membership of large alliances whose sole purpose is mutual defence, since the Meritocracy does not require such security. Which is not to say that we can't have a different type of positive relationship with the likes of the ALL and ADN.<br />
<br />
I do not rule out the use of the legions in pursuit of our foreign policy, and therefore I will be asking my Lictor to ramp up recruitment and training so that our forces are ready to be effective when needed. However, any deployment will be of a defensive rather than aggressive nature, and will only be made where I am sure of the facts, and believe that such engagement is to our long-term benefit.<br />
<br />
In terms of my team, clearly a key position is that of Praetor, and I have selected Yoco, who has previously shown he is capable of the drive and leadership which will be required. The foreign affairs team is also of great importance, and I have selected Jasque as my Quaestor, backed up by Mendenau as head of the MIA and Cortath as head of the FDC. Having selected two officers with significant experience, I also want to have some new blood and have selected Siempre to serve as Censor, and CrazyGirl as Lictor, and I hope to introduce some further new faces in some of the deputy positions. Due to recent legislative changes I also need to appoint the Aedile, and I will announce my choice shortly.<br />
<br />
I thank you for your time, and await your questions.<br />
<br />
===Editorial by Glasguensis===<br />
<br />
The upcoming election promises to be the most closely contested and arguably the most interesting since the Jasque/Thomasia contest a year ago. Unlike that contest, however, the platforms of the various candidates have more in common than differentiating factors. Indeed I am happy to admit that I like some of the individual ideas proposed by the other candidates.<br />
<br />
Cortath's military parades scheme, for example, definitely looks like a novel idea worth considering, and King Justin's ideas for an expanded Cabinet are somewhat similar to my own intention of making some Consular, as opposed to Senate, appointments to give me the resources I will need to push through with the fairly challenging program I have in mind if I am fortunate enough to gain the approval of the Senate.<br />
<br />
What I believe sets me apart from the other candidates in this election is my ability to unite rather than divide the Senate. I do not have outside ties which may hamper my relationships with certain Senators as was the fate of some previous Consuls, but neither am I an isolationist. I am not drawn quickly to anger, nor do I consider myself so much more meritorious than other Senators that I can dismiss them with an imperious wave.<br />
<br />
The Senate is growing again. Many of our finest members have returned to our halls, and now is the time both to refresh ourselves internally, and to proudly (but not arrogantly) go out into the world and shine like the beacon of merit which we should be. Voting in this election will be crucial to our future, and I trust the Senate to choose wisely.<br />
<br />
===2nd Consular Poll===<br />
<br />
By Soigacas (poll conducted by Altair)<br />
<br />
This second poll was carried out between the 26th and the 27th. The results were:<br />
<br />
Bumpivania:4 (4)<br />
Corintur:1 (2)<br />
Cortath:13 (13)<br />
Eureka:10 (8)<br />
Glasguensis:9 (12)<br />
Undecided:3 (N/A)<br />
<br />
The numbers in brackets are the results of the first consular poll. The poll shows a dcrease in support for Glasguensis and Corintur, although the introduction of undecided may have swayed the vote.<br />
<br />
===Corintur withdraws from the race===<br />
<br />
Early in the morning on Thursday, the Senator from Corintur announced in a brief statement that he was dropping out of the consular election and endorsing the Senator from Eureka.<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
I am withdrawing my name from the ballot, due to lackluster poll results and the belief that the Senator from Eureka and myself are running essentially the same campaign (although mine is more veiled). I'm also endorsing King Justin, if that matters to anyone.<br />
<br />
The Senator had polled in 5th place in the 1st poll and was in 5th place in the 2nd poll when the announcement was made.<br />
<br />
===Editorial by Bumpy===<br />
<br />
Bumpivania has little hope of victory in this election, and perhaps this is as things should be, if nothing more I shall remind the Senate that regardless of the agenda proposed, our Consul speaks for the Meritocracy. We must live with the choices we make.<br />
<br />
I offer the Senate a voice which generally speaks in reasoned tones and may be counted upon to consider the Sovereign Rights of all Nations represented.<br />
<br />
Whether as a Senator or as Consul, I will not be bullied, nor will I allow anyone to ride roughshod over our region, its legal code, or its Charter.<br />
<br />
The Bumpivanian platform is a simple one; based in the concept that our international relations should be the primary focus of our diplomatic efforts; for by enhancing our diplomatic and economic relations we may set the tone for our region as a whole. I believe that making our IC regional interactions real is our best hope of revitalizing our region and attracting good players.<br />
<br />
In my view all the candidates seem motivated by a genuine desire to serve the Senate. Each has a vision of what this region was, is, and should be. Each offers a distinctly different direction, The Senate will choose its direction and the tone of our interactions quite soon.<br />
<br />
Let wisdom and clarity prevail at the polls, now is not the time for sentimentalism, nostalgia, or a longing for the "good old days". Time is one way and try as we may it is impossible to "turn back the clock" and regain past glory. There is only the present, and a vision for the future, may that future be glorious!<br />
<br />
I am pleased to see worthy platforms from Cortath and Glasguensis, both fine Senators whose ceaseless efforts on behalf of the Senate are worthy of recognition and support.<br />
<br />
I note that Senator Glasguensis in particular concentrates almost exclusively on working, eschewing the more frivolous activities of Senate Life.<br />
<br />
Senator Cortath has also expended vast energies actively pursuing the goals of the Senate, serving with distinction and upholding the honor of our region through several Consular terms.<br />
<br />
His Majesty King Justin no doubt holds dear a dream, and though it is apparent that there is little love lost between our nations, he has always had my respect.<br />
<br />
===GUSTO development===<br />
By Ambassador Afslav*<br />
<br />
GUSTO. Many of us here are probably familiar with what it is. Yet, not nearly as many are aware of the many things going on behind the doors of smoke filled rooms, deciding the future of the great project. Even fewer members of The Meritocracy may be aware that I am the programmer behind the new GUSTO. First off, the new GUSTO, now with several different branches of development, and an equal number of new names, as of right now calculates all of the economic data that the current version of GUSTO calculates. Yet, it does not currently calculate Income Distribution, nor Military Statistics. There is a plan though, one that is quite spectacular, to replace the Military Statistics bit of GUSTO with something that has not been created yet for Nation States. Have any of you wanted a way to manage your current military holdings without using a spreadsheet, or even a text file? Have any of you wanted to compare your army's strength with another's? Have you ever wanted to sell arms on the global marketplace, receiving the profits from your handiwork, so that you yourself can buy more weapons? Have you wanted to research technology? Hopefully all of these things will be possible with the new milGUSTO. It's essentially an online store to buy weapons from the global GUSTO arms market. All of your purchases are then stored, for you to compare with the armies of other nations. It is a complicated system, and it won't be finished for awhile, but it certainly will be worth it for the role players in the NS world.<br />
<br />
The next big development is webGUSTO. webGUSTO is the online website that lets you view your nation's statistics. It also has numerous other features that will eventually make Jasque's life much easier, as well as the lives of bank managers and members. First, there is now a registration page, where you can register your main nation and four puppets, along with a username and password that allows you to access their respective configuration pages. Yes, your nations will now have configuration pages. We are not quite sure what you will be configuring, but the capability is there. Then, there are bank configuration pages that allow for a similar thing to be done for the banks, and we do know what must be adjusted by bank managers. Finally, there is one very cool feature that has been added, that I'm sure many of you will grow to love. Graphs. Simply, graphs have now been added that display the full history of your nation in terms of Gross Domestic Product, GDP Growth, and Net Exports. These same graphs also exist for the banks.<br />
<br />
Finally, the back end of GUSTO, pyGUSTO. pyGUSTO is a complete rewrite of the current GUSTO spreadsheet in Python. I won't go into too much detail, but it essentially is much much more flexible than the spreadsheet ever could be, and is much faster to run. It also runs completely automatically, so now you'll have your new nation statistics every single day.<br />
<br />
There are a few road blocks to getting this up on the web, but they are being worked on steadily. In a few weeks Jasque and I hope to get the basics up for everyone to view. Eventually, when milGUSTO is further along, it will be placed on the web as an open beta. GUSTO is heading towards greatness, and it is great to be a part of the journey.<br />
<br />

===The New North Pacific Conflict: Part 2===<br />
<br />
From the Office of Vogon Commander Jixie, Clerk of the Court of The Meritocracy, leader of the Total Perspective Vortex of Jallalacks, Second dominion of The London Borough of Jixieland<br />
<br />
It is barely a fortnight since I wrote my last article, referring to the takeover of the nation of Pixiedance by the forces of Ivan Moldavi. The 12 hours following the first takeover was marked by a headless panic on the part of most of the world’s diplomats, as confusion reigned and rumours flew to every corner of the world. This reaction is natural, and with hindsight, the foreign policy officials of Jallalacks acted in a similar way. The second takeover, has, on the contrary been marked by something approaching calm, with a far more unified response. It is appropriate that this should be the case. For now, we must be, and act, united.<br />
<br />
It is important to briefly review the events leading up to this moment. I shall go as far back as the first takeover, for we should by now all be aware of the chaos that surrounded the moves to withdraw The North Pacific from the ADN. After that crisis, Government officials in Pixiedance willingly let the forces of Ivan Moldavi take over the Regional Controls that are currently located within that nation. For about a day or so, it seemed as if a new dictatorship was about to rear its ugly head in a Pacific region once more. Then, Ivan Moldavi made a public, and seemingly very sincere statement apologising for this action. The nation was in due course handed back to its original Government. However, that was not the end of the affair, as we are all aware – Moldavian forces still exercised undue influence in the region, especially for a nation that was not a native, and certainly not one that even when official representatives of that empire did arrive, was not a native for any significant amount of time. They appointed themselves representative of The North Pacific to the Allied Liberation League, and then they demanded the withdrawal of The North Pacific from the Allied Liberation League (and got it). The government of Pixiedance lost faith in itself once again, and willingly handed over the reigns of the region to Moldavian forces once more. Despite the sincerity of the apology, the promises to be open, democratic and transparent, to allow opposition and to hand the region over to the natives once more, Ivan Moldavi has reneged on all of this, and engaged in a coup d’etat of The North Pacific, this time with intentions as to its permanence.<br />
<br />
It is clear now that the action to remove The North Pacific from the ALL was one which was designed to deliberately divide opposition prior to a possible takeover by Moldavian forces of the nation of Pixiedance, for it directly served the interest of that new dictator to remove himself from any alliance which might then organise the necessary international resistance to bring him down from the outside (as the last dictatorial nation of The North Pacific was). This action should be seen as what it is: shallow and manipulative. The ALL does not recognise the Government that currently resides in The North Pacific, so nor should it pay any heed to its decisions. It must regard the current takeover as an invasion, and respond accordingly.<br />
<br />
We must not however, blind ourselves to the debate about the actions of Ivan Moldavi before we make physical foreign policy decisions, as so many Senators have been so keen to express in the recent months regarding the Senate’s foreign policy. Let us consider the arguments made by either supporters of Moldavi, or those who advocate non – intervention.<br />
<br />
According to some supporters, it is within the game rules to hand the control of a nation over to another nation. Therefore, there is nothing actually wrong with Moldavi’s actions. If you will allow this Senator to think in terms that go beyond most ‘realistic’ posts, it is possible to rebut this argument. In short, this simplistic and inadequate argument is similar to the one used by those who supported the delegacy of Great Bight, and so should be treated as such. What that argument, and this one, fail to recognise are some of the fundamental dynamics of this world that go beyond what the officials of it call the ‘rules.’ Those who defend regions that are attacked by invaders do so for a number of regions, but primarily it is because they believe that invasion is wrong, it is an affront to regional sovereignty, and in the long run it harms this world as a whole. They play a role, certainly, but invaders are opposed by most reputable organisations, not because they are against the rules (indeed, the officials of this world only ensure that the invasion does not turn into griefing), but because they believe such action undermines the same regional sovereignty which those regions hold so dear themselves. It is significant to note that the military forces of New Sparrow (the region which Ivan Moldavi founded) defend such regions themselves, briefly putting them in the same camp as the ADN, who believe in regional sovereignty, and the damage that it can do to a region’s activity and government, an argument surely which surely sits alongside the ‘rules’ which the World Government enforces to prevent chaos. If we consider Moldavi’s takeover of The North Pacific to be an invasion (a fact I will prove later) then it is possible to regard his action alongside the actions of those invaders who prey on weak and vulnerable regions as a sop to their own ego.<br />
<br />
According to some supporters of this new regime, the attitudes of the rest of the world, and the potential actions that those in that world may take, are but the affairs of The North Pacific region, and anything the rest of the world does is simply an affront to that same regional sovereignty we defenders claim to hold so dear. Unfortunately, the simplicity of this argument displays the fundamental rational weakness of those who make it. Those external organisations, of which The North Pacific was a part, and in at least in one cases it legally remains, have promised to protect the government that it recognised as that which signed those treaties which committed The North Pacific to those organisations, and which committed the members of The North Pacific to protect it in the case of an affair like this. However, this argument falls down unless we can show that this does indeed fall under the aegis of invasion, and so onto my next point.<br />
<br />
This may, on the surface, not appear the same sort of invasion that defenders fight everyday, but make no mistake. This is how it should be viewed. When the forces of Ivan Moldavi moved into the governmental compound where the regional controls are stored, they did so with the consent of those forces meant to protect them. Anything else would have inspired the wrath of the World officials. But this in no way undermines the case that this was an invasion. Because crucially, the delegacy of The North Pacific was not for the government of Pixiedance to do with as it chose. That government had many powers, but in handing them over to Moldavi, it failed to recognise that it had over stepped its bounds. This is because the natives of The North Pacific that signed up to the United Nations, and endorsed Pixiedance had done so because they placed their faith in the Government of Pixiedance, not of any other nation. The endorsement system, which the old The North Pacific constitution recognised as legitimate, the tacit of faith of the vast majority of nations that added their endorsement, the thousands of nations who live under the rule of that usurped nation anyway, made no reference to the possibility of that nation being taken over by foreign forces, and it is not an unreasonable assumption to say that if asked, they would probably have baulked at the idea. If Pixiedance had resigned from the UN, it would be another matter. If control had been handed to a North Pacific native, the situation might be different. But from this perspective, there can be no other conclusion that the delegacy of The North Pacific has been taken over by foreign forces not native to that region, and is thus an invasion.<br />
<br />
There is one more counter – argument to consider, and that is of duality. It is not the affair of the outside world what Ivan Moldavi chooses to do with his dominions, some claim, and so we should not involve ourselves. This argument does nothing to change the fact that this was an invasion, but if accepted it leads to profound implications. Consider for a minute that one Senator of the Meritocracy has another nation, separate to the one that has been granted citizenship by this senate. This other nation is still linked, however distantly to the first, as it was set up by the order of that first nation. If that nation engages in hostile action to The Meritocracy, then we would not hesitate to call that Senator to account. They are linked, and most especially in Ivan Moldavi’s case, where the duality argument was essentially destroyed when he took responsibility in those organisations where he held other nations separate to the (now permanently controlled) Pixiedance. The leader of (what I assume) to be his oldest nation, Borogrovia Moldavi, is also the effective ruler of those other nations when it comes to matters of international importance such as these.<br />
<br />
So, having rebutted each of the arguments that have been put forward justifying this most dastardly of manoeuvres, it is necessary now only to act on them. It has already been expressed even by an informal majority of the senate of the need to have a foreign policy position on this, and it is only right that we do. But we must go further – we must play an active role in removing this false delegate. We may only be able to muster 20 nations or so against a delegate with an endorsement count of over 680, but it is foolish to think either that we act alone in such a venture, or that we need that many to replace the current delegate. I will not hark on about military campaigns and their eventual form, but anyone worth any military leader worth his salt knows that although the endorsement count is high, it is far from unbeatable. We must stand alongside other regions and organisations, and act together, with the true natives of The North Pacific at our head, to remove the new tyrant, lest he see even the light of day between us, and entrenches his regime by ejecting all who oppose him.<br />

===Interview with Lord Tom===<br />
<br />
By Altair<br />
<br />
The Meritocratic Times is pleased to have the opportunity to sit down and talk with one of its founding members, the Lord Tom of Thomasia<br />
<br />
MT = the Meritocratic Times (Altair)<br />
LT = Lord Tom of Thomasia<br />
<br />
MT: Welcome back to the Meritocracy Lord Tom. Do you have anything you wish to say before we start the interview?<br />
LT: I just want to commend you and all the people involved with the Meritocratic Times for the excellent work you consistently produce.<br />
<br />
MT: Thank you Lord Tom. Can you tell us the reason why you have chosen to come back at this time?<br />
LT: A funny story that. Thomasia, which had withdrawn into comfortable isolation happened to receive a couple suggestions from some of our former allies, and an indirect invitation of sorts to return from another friend, so our nation came on what was intended to be a social visit. However, having seen the growth of the Meritocracy and the current situation, I felt now might be a good time for Thomasia to resume normal relations with our friends here.<br />
<br />
MT: By now you have read the interview we had with King Justin the Brave of Eureka regarding the hotly contested consular election of 10-July-2003. Where were you on that day?<br />
LT: I was staring down about a few thousand tanks if memory serves. As Tribune, I was committed to defending the integrity of the Meritocracy, and to this day, I maintain that I was cheated out of my rightful election as Consul. However, I hold no hard feelings.<br />
<br />
MT: Why did you choose to run for Consul at that time?<br />
LT: My ambition was then, as ever, to foment closer ties between our nations, and I am proud to say I was running on a strong agenda. My firm belief was that the Meritocracy needed to make our message more clearly heard and continue developing new structures to remain a forceful and innovative region. As someone who had drafted much of the formal framework of the current laws, I felt that being Consul would allow me the latitude to continue developing such policy.<br />
<br />
MT: In your opinion, what did you hope to accomplish and what did you accomplish by withdrawing and reentering the race?<br />
LT: Truth be told, when I left the race, I had no intention of returning. It was the cries of my supporters who feared the introspective and isolationist tendencies of King Justin that hastened my return. Personally, I thought the good King would make a fine Consul, and believe he would today, but that is why I was called back from my departure.<br />
Also, allow me to explain why King Justin legally never could have won the election, though he did garner a majority of the votes. He chose to leave the race, but did not announce his final commitment to run, before the date provided by law. Unfortunately, our censor was derelict in his duty, and that mishap was the cause of the entire debacle.<br />
<br />
MT: To clarify what you just said, you're telling us that King Justin withdrew from the race prior to the start of voting and did not formally announce his reentry until after the start of voting?<br />
LT: That is precisely what I said. However, the fault is ultimately not his. As I stated, the real issue was in the administration of the election, which if it had been fairly conducted, would have prevented the whole problem in the first place.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you please comment on King Justin's statement that you "shored up your power base" by bringing in new Senators in a particular order?<br />
LT: He gives me too much credit. As a friendly neighbor, I worked hard to establish good relations with each new nation that wanted to enter the Meritocracy, and as a result of that, I was seen as being friendly to the newcomers. My feeling today, as then, was that coming to the Meritocracy takes a while to learn, so I was simply acting as a mentor to some of my younger colleagues.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you care to comment on the maneuverings described by King Justin with regards to the citizenship application process.<br />
LT: The problem at the time was this. Because of the favorable publicity being received about the Meritocracy in the world at large, we were enjoying a short-term massive influx of interested applicants, and we were unable to process them all in a timely fashion. It was unrealistic, and unfair, I felt, to expect a nation to wait six weeks for consideration, which would have been the result of the policies advocated for by Eureka. By considering multiple candidates at once, we insured everyone a fair hearing, and were able to consider applicants in a reasonably expeditious manner.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you like to tell your side of the story on how the 50%+1 voting requirement came about?<br />
LT: The story is well-known. The problem was not a political one, but rather a function of apathy. Previously, a Senator needed 60% of the total Senators to vote yes to be admitted to the Senate. However, on any given vote, as much as a third of the Senate would abstain on considering a candidate, and those votes that often came from the absence of some Senators would effectively count as No votes. That was why the voting requirement was reduced.<br />
I believe that having the 60% standard makes sense, but that abstains should not count either way. However, the technical difficulties involved were a large reason why that path was not adopted.<br />
<br />
MT: That's a different story than the one we have heard from the Senator from Jasque. He has told us that you admitted to him that you essentially sneaked that provision into the law while no one was looking. Would you care to comment on that?<br />
LT: No, that provision was never sneaked into law. That one was legimitately passed. There were other things that were done less scrupulously, but to the best of my recollection, that wasn't them. On one occasion, we actually... Well, if no one saw it then, there is no point in bringing up something so pointless now.<br />
<br />
MT: I can't let that slide by without asking for a story. Please tell us.<br />
LT: I think three or four other Senators are aware of what I did, so you can ask them. Suffice it to say, my powers as Tribune were considerable, and we were not so fortunate as today to have so many scrupulous defenders (and readers) of all the provisions in the Charter. All we did was clarify a minor point to what we intended it to say instead of what it actually said, so that the Tribune would be able to run for continuous terms...indefinitely. Of course, after the whole Consular election fiasco, I gave up all my higher ambitions, so that all blithely falls to ancient history.<br />
<br />
MT: At this time, what do you feel the overall Senatorial citizenship criteria should be?<br />
LT: As stated, I think citizenship should be a fair, but critical process. My idea is that rather than having all the Senators interview the candidates that we can have a selection board, with 4 members from different committees randomly assembled to judge each applicant. In addition, there will be an officer in charge of admission to the Senate who will chair that committee, but who will lack a vote on admission. If three of the four interviewers approve, the candidate would be admitted.<br />
As for how they should be judged, I think that should be the province of the officer I so describe, and his concern. Perhaps Legate might be the right title. More interesting than my opinion would be a debate amongst the Senators about what that should be.<br />
<br />
MT: In the Lord Tom Bar thread, you mentioned something with regards to a possible libertarian coalition. Do you have any further comments on that?<br />
LT: My thoughts are broader than a libertarian coalition. My hope is to find those nations who embrace a free market, whatever their respective economic strengths, and to use our collective strength to push the Meritocracy towards policies more sympathetic to economic growth.<br />
<br />
MT: In the MT Issue 11 thread you alluded to something more interesting that you did. Would you please elaborate on that?<br />
LT: As much as I enjoy the important work of setting up governments, which I have had the pleasure to do on four separate occasions, my real moments of delight have been in espionage. From time to time, some of my greatest coups have been in how thoroughly organizations can be infiltrated and influenced. For instance, the operatives which I placed in the ACC helped convinced their subcommanders to remove the current commander and allowed me to assume that role. It was a wonderful coup.<br />
<br />
MT: What was your finest moment in the Senate (and NS)? What was your least favorite moment in the Senate (and NS)?<br />
LT: My finest moment in the Senate was probably when we wrote the Charter. I might have formatted much of the ideas, but it was a collaborative effort and I would be remiss not to thank all those whose ideas were incorporated.<br />
In NS History, either the conquest of the ACC or my own brief stint as world's most powerful delegate would serve as my favorite moments. The tragedy of it was that after amassing all that power, I came to realize the futility of communication against such seething hordes of ignorance, so my Meritocratic brethren and myself moved away from there and toward the idea of self-sufficiency that is fully embodied in the Charter today.<br />
My most ignominious moment was the conflict over the Consular mantle, although having thought about that, it amazes me. Somehow, while King Justin and I were always painted as the perpetual conspirators for that post, our more subtle third, the Field Marshal, served any number of terms in the office we both aspired to reach. Perhaps, he was shrewder than we ever were.<br />
A disappointing moment for me was when I last visited, and realized I would be unable to return to the Senate. The character of the place seemed so radically different to me that my disgust was very real, as was my intent not to return. However, time passes, circumstances change, and here I have come back.<br />
<br />
MT: Let's talk for a bit about the ACC. Would you tell us the story of your coup of that organization?<br />
LT: The idea wasn't originally mine, as things go. Some of the older Senators will remember our successful incursion into the Atlantic, and that we were able to liberate that region from the ACC. During my time as Delegate there, as the proxy state of Cluny, I developed a friendship with Nusseburg, the esteemed founder of the ACC. Together, we had many interesting discussions, but these eventually developed around whether the ACC could be refounded in a more positive sense. At his request, and with his considerable help, my lieutenants and I met with some of the ACC leadership, and found a way to move forward. It was as much a collaboration as a coup.<br />
<br />
MT: Can you set the record straight on what actually happened to you after you and Pilmour left the Meritocracy a year ago to form a new group that almost immediately collapsed?<br />
LT: I quit. The Black Guard was an excellent application of all I had learned in commanding the ACC. The reason we faltered is because of recruiting, and the changing nature of the game. Because of all the restrictions, we were unable to successfully exert any influence beyond our own region. For NS armies that tend to operate like mercenaries, we were not able to provide enough action or potential to become an effective force. So, I left my command post and Pilmour was free to do as he so chose beyond that.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you care to comment on what your relations actually were with the Meritocracy when you were forming the Black Guard? In the Meritocracy you were depicted as almost a super villain.<br />
LT: I should hope I was. I tried very hard to earn that opprobrium. There was a tacit understanding between the leadership of this body and myself that any threat was exaggerated heavily. Perhaps I have a perverse sense of humor, but I rather enjoyed putting a little fright into everyone. That said, even if I was the only one who had the luxury of being fully certain, I could hardly destroy or endanger what I worked so hard to create.<br />
<br />
MT: Would you care to comment about any of the projects that you have in mind for the future?<br />
LT: If the Senators choose to reinstate my seat, I intend on making an announcement at that moment. Certain issues from the past need to be clarified, and I would appreciate that opportunity to address my fellows.<br />
I have yet to come up with a legislative palate, but you can rest assured that there are a few ideas that I want to pursue. Free trade is one of them. Military reform also seems like an area where my expertise might prove in handy. Otherwise, many of the efforts I make will be between individual nations within the Senate rather than directed toward the Senate as a whole.<br />
<br />
MT: Thank you for spending time with us, Lord Tom.<br />
LT: It was my pleasure. Any time.<br />

===Meritocratic News Headlines: An Introduction===<br />
<br />
By Soigacas<br />
<br />
The staff at the Meritocratic Times are always looking for ways to improve our services. This ideas drive has manifested itself recently in the creation of MoMA, but that is not the only developement. It gives me great pleasure to announce a new news service: The Meritocratic News Headlines Service.<br />
<br />
This is a blog which posts headlines as soon as MoMA members learn of them, in short and to the point bulletins. This means the news is available more regularly than the Meritocratic Times Newspaper, but does not have the depth of information.<br />
<br />
So, in short, if you want to know what's going on, click on http://meritnews.blogspot.com<br />

===Editorial—Looking Outwards===<br />
Xiang Gang<br />
By the standards of this paper, this is a mammoth issue. Around five thousand words of digitally-encased intellect are below, and I can blame the tireless efforts of Soigacas, above all others, for that.<br />
Interviews make up a large section of this issue, and this is important: the team wishes to give insight into the key figures of the world as well as grill the key figures of the Senate. We in the Meritocracy are rather insular, and with good excuse: this is a great region. The Meritocracy is an exciting place; the many bars, taverns and halls of the MAD are vibrant with discussion. But we must look outward as well, and this paper will help do this. It will be a paper that brings the world to the Meritocracy and, hopefully, brings the Meritocracy to the world. All of this will take time, and a great number of issues, but we have an excellent team. Soigacas adds What he said. I'd like to thank Xiang Gang and Chron for a close Aedile race. In the end I won by just one vote, with three abstentions. Hopefully both will continue to work on making the paper bigger and better. On a slightly different note, I would like to apologise for the lack of a Senate News in this issue. We hope to have this included in the paper as soon as possible.<br />

===West Pacific in Crisis===<br />
By Chronorica and Halmont<br />
<br />
On the night of Wednesday, November 2nd, a group consisting of arguably the most active members of the West Pacific and led by Biyah, dissolved the region's constitution, locked the Regional forums, instituting their own, and imposed Martial law upon the region. The Nationstates community, for the most part, was outraged. The citizens who led the coup, calling themselves "The Core", dealt with immense flaming and denunciation both in Real Life and out. As Biyah himself commented in his last public statement on Friday, "the fallout is more than I could have dreamed in my worst nightmare." Citizens of the West Pacific struck back, however, led by the nation of Wickedly Evil Peoples, also known as Eli of the New Meritocracy, and Dilber, also a Meritocratic Senator. Together they led the fight against The Core, even though the West Pacific Dominion (the government that The Core had established until a new constitution could be written), seemed to have at least the tacit support of the ADN, RLA, and the Allied States of Euroislanders. The fight lasted throughout Thursday November 3. However, the morning of Friday, November 4, it was all over. Biyah, apparently weary of the horrific personal backlash to the Core's actions, resigned, and appointed Shasoria, another Core member, to take his place. His nation now resides in Nasicournia. Shasoria, upon accepting Biyah's resignation, dissolved the WPD, and restored the former constitution. Following this, Zetaone, another major Core player, announced his resignation from Nationstates, citing his treatment by the NS community as the reason. Mininneenee, the West Pacific delegate, resigned herself from the UN, allowing Wickedly Evil Peoples to take the delegacy. None of them regretted the action itself, since it had served its purpose, which all of them pretty much agreed, was to stir up activity again. I, Chronorica, interviewed<br />
another member of The Core, who missed the entire event, up until Friday.<br />
<br />
''Halmont Embassy, in the Chronorican Capital's Meritocratic Embassy District''<br />
<br />
As I walk into the embassy, a massive structure reminiscent of a medieval castle, I note the exquisite furniture which adorns the rooms, and the furnishings upon the stone walls, a style which strikes me as odd in its very foreigness. Apparently influenced by the style of it's native feeder region, Chronorica had never had such a melting pot, having its initial culture being formed first in a player-founded region, and then going over to the Meritocracy. The style struck me as unique, as I approached a heavy oak door that had a nameplate painted over...a rather sloppy job, I would venture to have said, probably done very recently. As I reached out to touch the seemingly wet paint, the door opened, and I was lead in by a rather heavyset bodyguard. I informed him that I was there for the interview, and he led me to a tall chair, in which sat Prime Minister Nicholas Halmont IV, leader of Halmont and its nations. I sat down in a nearby chair, and proceeded to give my interview.<br />
<br />
Chronorica: So, you are the leader of the Sacred Federation of Halmont, correct?<br />
H: Yes, indeed I am.<br />
Chron: is this the first nation which you have controlled?<br />
H: yeah, my first nation ever.<br />
Chron: Do you control any other nations, and if so, where?<br />
Chron: At least the ones you can name, I’d rather not have any spy agencies offing this reporter over being given classified information.<br />
H: My main nation is currently residing in the Meritocracy, as you know. Halmont II, my second nation ever its on the Courts of TWP, and Saint-Helaire is in the Atlantic. I have a couple of not so important puppets.<br />
Chron: Can you tell me about the history of your puppet, Halmont II?<br />
H: Well, that nation was created a couple of days after<br />
Halmont I, I was new, and just for the fun of it I created it, and it was on TSP for quite a while, until Feb.04 when it moved to The Meritocracy stayed there for 8 months, and then it went to TWP.<br />
Chron: What was it like when you first moved there?<br />
H: Where?<br />
Chron: The West pacific<br />
H: Oh, Halmont was born there. I've been there ever since.<br />
Chron: To be more specific, what was the climate like, the atmosphere and such? How would you compare it to TWP of a week ago?<br />
H: TWP has always been very, very welcoming, although I had a bumpy start because around 2 days after my nation was created, I was recruited to the ACC, and it was soo cool that I immediately joined, and they assigned me to stay in TWP and endorse FoCA, because TWP was under ACC control at the moment. But they are so amazing that after the whole ACC thing they accepted me and let me stay and I grew up there, and I worked there. A week ago TWP was perfect. That's the word, perfect. Up to a point that was boring.<br />
Chron: How can perfection be boring?<br />
H: Easy, everything was good; everything was squeaky clean. So there was no fun, everyone was getting tired, it was just very monotonous, if we get to a point in which everything, ever single aspect of the region its perfect, it was bound to get boring.<br />
Chron: I would have to agree with you there! So, what did you, personally, want to do about it? Before hearing it from Biyah, of course.<br />
H: I never did anything, for me it was usual to log in every day and see the Courts forums inactive. It was good in one point but in the other, I would always ask myself, what am I doing here? Biyah came in and he just told me what he thought, I was probably the 3rd or 4th person who knew about it. It seemed like a great idea, and I endorsed it immediately.<br />
Chron: What was that idea? More specifically, what did he tell you?<br />
H: He basically told me, that he was planning some new way of government that will make the region a better place, and that it was going to keep its integrity, but it was also going to be fun, and it was going to make the region more active.<br />
Chron: When did you find out about "The Core"?<br />
H: Monday Oct. 31st.<br />
Chron: How?<br />
H: Biyah contacted me on mIRC, and then we had a meeting in AIM.<br />
Chron: Just you and he?<br />
H: Nope.<br />
Chron: Who else was there?<br />
H: ZetaOne, Dilber and Looming Doom.<br />
Chron: What did Biyah tell you guys, specifically?<br />
H: What I just told you. I dont remember the exact words, but it was somehow what I said earlier.<br />
Chron: ah. Ok, what were the reactions of the others?<br />
Well...as you remember<br />
H: They agreed, they where just as happy as I was.<br />
Chron: So, can you give me a basic timeline of what happened over the last 5 days with TWP, then?<br />
H: Monday brainstorming, Tuesday everything was set forums, Wednesday morning, we had the legal code, citizenship act, mostly everything. Wednesday night KA BOOM, it was launched (I wasn't aware). Thursday mayhem, Friday second KA BOOM it was over.<br />
Chron: What was your reaction on Wednesday when you heard the news?<br />
H: Wednesday afternoon I went to uni, so I had no idea what was happening, when I left, everything was a secret. Thursday morning I log into TWP forums, and I see that everything happened. So I immediately logged in the Core's forums and started seeing what was going on, in shock the whole day.<br />
Chron: How so?<br />
H: Because, I had no idea that they launched it. To my knowledge tomorrow [Ed: Sunday 6th ] was going to be the launching.<br />
Chron: Do you have any idea why Biyah and Zetaone went ahead of schedule?<br />
H: Because there was a leak.<br />
Chron: Leak?<br />
H: Someone told someone outside the core, and in fear that that person might blow everything up, they decided to rush things. And launched it.<br />
Chron: Do you know who leaked it?<br />
H: Yes, but there is not need to tell.<br />
Chron: How has this Situation affected you? IC and otherwise?<br />
H: In RL: It has been quite a low, basically because for most of the time when everything was happening, I wasn't aware. I wasn't aware of the launching, and I wasn't aware of the dissolution. So I wasn't prepared you know, my mind wasn't ready for everything that was happening. In NS: I'm sad and scared and very, very sorry, and I just want to put this way behind, and just try to build up trust and get back on making TWP stronger, and more active and more fun, with the current government.<br />
Chron: How have you been treated? And how do you feel about the way the other Core members were treated?<br />
H: To be honest, I've been treated very, very fairly, up to a point that it's been good. After it happened, I immediately posted my apologies, I talked with those I felt that I need to talk to in private, I was really working on cleaning up my name, but, it felt like my name wasn't affected at all. So I can say TWP, and other regions have been very fair with me. And for that I am eternally grateful, it takes big hearts to ask for apologies in this troubled times, but it takes honour to forgive those who made the mistake. I'm<br />
happy, because at least there is more activity in the forums and in the region and I'm glad it happened, but I'm also hoping that everyone puts this behind. Biyah took the blame, and left, Zeta did as well,<br />
and Neenee, she did too. Other members posted their apologies and decided to stay and even though they have been flamed, they have been treated fairly.<br />
Chron: What about Dilber? Whats his story? You say he was informed, than why did he back out and lead the rebellion against it?<br />
H: He had no time to think about it, and he was against the early launch. So he decided that it wasn’t going to be worth it, and he proudly apologized, left and started the rebellion. And I’m very proud he did so.<br />
Chron: *nods head in agreement* What is your opinion of the apparent ADN's backing of the Core, along with the apparent initial support of the RLA and Euroislanders?<br />
H: I for one said that we should have problems with any of the organizations, because since this was planned for a greater good, we will have the support of the other organizations, and I was right.<br />
Chron: How so?<br />
H: Because immediately those organizations supported us. Until the reality lightning struck and everyone parted ways.<br />
Chron: Why do you think the ADN supported you?<br />
H: I believe because of the strong relationship with Biyah and Dilber, I truly don't know more.<br />
Chron: What do you think of the comparisons made between what happened with TWP and what happened with the NPD some months back?<br />
H: I have no recollection of what happened in NPD some months back, I try to ignore those things. But there is no need of comparison our premise was a greater good. It was going to be risky, bumpy, but in the end, it was going to be good. It didn't work. But I don't like to compare and in this case I have no recollection to compare.<br />
Chron: With that being said, did you see this coming? From the early shot to the vehement flaming and the retirement?<br />
H: I truly think that if we had more time to plan and to launch it, it would have been better, and probably the true purpose could have succeeded. But I also knew and expected bad things if it was done wrongly, as it was.<br />
Chron: What are your regrets? As I think that, for the short-term, what you all desired occurred.<br />
H: That we had bad timing. And that it turned out to be a "coup", instead of its real purpose.<br />
Chron: What do you plan to do in TWP now?<br />
H: Stay there, probably face not being in any position for a while. And gain their trust back.<br />
Chron: How long do you think it will be until things become stagnant again?<br />
H: Hopefully, 2 years. *Laughs* Then a future "Biyah" will think of what this Biyah thought, gather a group of high ranked members and do it again. *Laughs* Ahhh life.. *sighs*<br />
Chron: I'm sorry... You know, there are better ways to have stability.<br />
H: Oh I know. TWP have always been stable. Very stable.<br />
Chron: The issue is not stability, but, stability with activity correct?<br />
H: Indeed.<br />
Chron: What other ways are there of being stable, besides legal perfection, then? And would you not say that legal perfection,is something that the merit should strive to avoid?<br />
H: Foreign activities, keeping the members interested. Having inside activities. Domestic issues. Open debates, things that make nations wanting to wake up every morning and log in and check their nations, check the forums and talk and be active. The Merit will never get to "legal perfection" because its members are from different places with different views. TWP had just that problem.. everyone was<br />
pointing exactly to the same direction. I was pointing at the same direction, I've always done it.. I decided to turn for one day. 12 more members do as well and there you have it.<br />
Chron: *chuckles* There are several ways to run a region<br />
H: Chron, don't get me wrong, we knew what we were getting into, and even us within The Core, thought that probably overthrowing the current government was a bad idea. But we took the risk. And even thought it came back to bite us in our wazoos.. at least, its active again.<br />
Chron: I'm not saying that, I'm saying to avoid a repeat, to continue that train of thought, what do you think of what happened to Biyah?<br />
H: I doubt it will ever happen again. I'm truly sad he left. I think that he could stay and just face it, and win back the trust again. He is an amazing player, and he offers nothing but good things. And he is smart, funny.. great guy.. not a power hungry freak, like some would say. And I know that he will be back.. eventually.<br />
Chron: Alright then, I have one more thing to ask: Do you like to RP? Not in the sense of we are already rp'ing but, active threads, with fictitous wars and etc.<br />
H: I used to be a big, big RP'er when I first started. Actually I got a lot of people to like me because of my RP skills. Then.. it sort off became to overwhelming, things where being blown out of proportion so I just read a lot of it, and enjoyed it. But never RP'ed again.<br />
Chron: You think a vibrant RP community could spring up in TWP?<br />
H: Yeah. RP helps a lot. And TWP has great RP'ers.. and they did a great job.<br />
Chron: Ok, thank you for your time. And good luck with the West Pacific<br />
H: Thanks.<br />
<br />
At this point, I bid the President a good day, and depart. Sincerely hoping that everything bodes well for the West Pacific.<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
And so, there you have it. The Core was created with the sole ideal of remaking the West Pacific, in order to make it more enticing for the residents, in order to promote activity. In short, to give the region purpose. While we do not know, and, may never know, who gave the leak which lead to the premature launch of the West Pacific Dominion, one thing we do know is clear: It was no power grab. While there were many comparisons between this event, and the Pixiedance incidents which lead to the creation of the North Pacific Directorate, they are made out of ignorance of the real facts. There is no question as to the motives, the split within the core itself, as Dilber joined with Eli/Wickedly Evil Peoples, and the absence of our very own Halmont are very clear proof of this. This was not the end result of a stressed-out delegate deciding to hand over the reins, as Cathyy did. Nor was there arguably any real ambition involved, Moldavi seemed to have in mind when he took up Cathyy's offer both times, and then forming the NPD. The WPD, as we knew it, was a rush job of something that could have been better, and as such, it was, in the end, a mistake.<br />
<br />
The causes of this unfortunate occurrence, and subsequent consequences are relevant to every region from the Pacific to the New Meritocracy. Within Nationstates, a state of equilibrium is detrimental to a region, as "perfection" breeds complacency, and complacency gives rise to inacivity, the bane of a region. The WPD was a misguided attempt at rectifying this, and, in the short-term, succeeded. However, the West Pacificans left to pick up the pieces will likely have to come up with a new reason to stick around, as Dilber and Halmont seem to intend on doing. Where does the ADN fit into all of this, moreover? There has been a great deal of speculation into the organization's hesitancy to denounce the coup, as it had done with Moldavi and the NPD. This was meant to be a secret, so, the ADN should have had no insight into what happened. Perhaps Halmont's interpretation is correct. Or maybe not, although it has been claimed that no organization supported the WPD and its Core, many remain sceptical. Euroislanders was amicable to the WPD, until players like Xha'Dam and Dilber convinced the RLA to stand against the coup. However, these are questions best left to the many Nationstates conspiracy theorists, as baseless speculation has no place in this article. All that can be done now, is wish the West Pacificans good luck in rebuilding their region, for the WPD merely highlighted the problem, it did not cause it.<br />
<br />
''Statement from Biyah''<br />
<br />
I have said all this before, it will be the last time.<br />
<br />
I did what I did for The West Pacific. The Core and I, some of the most respected nations in the game, we're tired of the apathy and decided that drastic measures were needed. We had a ConCom set up, we censored nobody, we booted nobody. Those are my friends everyone is so casually saying I was lording over, and it was 24 hours that I survived as a Dictator, when I could have locked the region down and preformed all those classic moves we've all come to know and love.<br />
<br />
I do not regret what I did, except to say that the fallout is more then I could have dreamed in my worst nightmare.<br />
<br />
I will never again find such a crew as the friends I had with me on the Core. I did- I do, and I always will believe we had only the best for The West Pacific in our hearts. My friends, it was a true honor to work with you.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific Dominion is dead, it's dreams stillborn and its people vilified... friends have been lost and so many made miserable for a game. What is the point in that, exactly?<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter anymore. It's over-with. In this, I was successful, the region is active again. We, the Core, succeeded.<br />

===Membership surge in The New Meritocracy===<br />
<br />
By Soigacas<br />
<br />
In the past few weeks the Meritocracy has seen a surge in the number of nations, and an almost overwhelming tidal wave of new senators. Even the Censor, Siempre, had trouble keeping up "Dear God, not another applicant!" he exclaimed, "I mean… Welcome to the Meritocracy…"<br />
<br />
In the past fortnight, ten or so nations became Senators. This is the biggest growth the Meritocracy has seen in over a year, and probably the swiftest in its history. And it's not just the number of applicants that's impressive, it's the calibre and competency of the applicants themselves. Some are ex-Senators returning after a long absence, for example Christian Falangists, who, in his absence, has become a Buddhist, much to everyone's confusion; and well-respected ex-senator Yoco.<br />
<br />
We also have prominent leaders from around the NS world, adding to the Meritocracy's multicultural flavour. Goddessness, Anti Commi Clan and Eurosoviets, to name but a few (well, most of them). Biyah withdrew his application, of course.<br />
<br />
Is it possible that this is a coincidence, or is there someone behind it? Ghosts? God? Al Qaeda? We asked the recently-elected Quaestor, Cortath.<br />
<br />
Soig: Recently we've seen a surge in applications for membership. Did you play any part in this?<br />
<br />
Cortath: Yes. I persuaded many nations to come and apply for membership in the Senate. I cannot take credit for all of them; I know that Eli in particular has also been very active recently in recruiting.<br />
<br />
Soig: Was it easy to persuade nations to check us out?<br />
<br />
Cortath: Hard in some ways. Many nations are very intimidated by us, and we were worried that they might not have enough merit to pass our rigorous standards.<br />
<br />
Soig: Was this your own your own initiative, or were you instructed by the Consul?<br />
<br />
Cortath: My own initiative. I promised it in my platform and I hope to deliver.<br />
<br />
Soig: So, what interesting and exciting policies can we expect from you in the future?<br />
<br />
Cortath: You can see a sneak peek of my future policies and programs when it is time to post a Consular platform.<br />

===Flaming Capitalist banned from forums===<br />
<br />
Galts Gulch member Objectivist Chimpz was banned from TNM's forums for flaming and trolling – the Admin. Winnipeg didn't take to kindly to the drivel OC was spouting, and made him the first nation ever to be banned from the forums. This was greeted with widespread approval from other members of the Meritocracy, who felt it was well and truly justified. We asked Winnipeg to tell us more about this, but he snarled a brief "No Comment" at us, and we were quickly frog-marched out of his office. As for Objectivist Chimpz, the Meritocratic Times does not wish to be a mouthpiece for such unsavoury individuals, so we did not ask for a comment from him. Instead, let us dip into some of his freely-available wisdom:<br />
<br />
"Dear fucktard,<br />
<br />
Stealing is wrong.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Your Kindergarden[sic] Teacher"<br />
<br />
And you probably shouldn't have read that if you are offended by the use of the word "fucktard".<br />

===Chronorica Bares All===<br />
Interview by Ylling<br />
<br />
Ylling: How did you discover NS?<br />
<br />
Chronorica: During my brief (6 month long) stint on the AOL Message boards, a few friends of mine showed me a link to NS. They overly glorified it, of course, but, then again, they never really got<br />
into the game as much as I did. lol.<br />
<br />
Ylling: Why did you join the Merit in the first place?<br />
<br />
Chron: It was about 4 months after TYW/RRA concluded, and, seeing that I was getting bored with RP, and the lack of intelligent debate...So, I looked for somewhere else to participate. Of course, at this time, my original nation, Chronorica, was housed in Warrior Thorin/Myrdinn's Realm of Criminology, and, considering it was never very active...*cough*...I just moved my nation here, after remembering the activity on the merit boards that I observed during TYW/RRA negotiations.<br />
<br />
I felt that it would be a fun place for someone like me...However, I find that as my list of stuff to do in NS grows, I have less time to just visit my old standby of the General Discussions forum, lol.<br />
<br />
Ylling: What has been your biggest mistake in the Merit so far?<br />
<br />
Chron: Challenging Aflsav to a debate! I have a link lying around for our gun debate on the old forums...Man, that was a long one. Although, there are a few others that rank on high that I'm sure<br />
senators know of...my little issues with Glasguensis...Er...I can over-react sometimes, heheh.<br />
<br />
Ylling: What has been your biggest success?<br />
<br />
Chron: Getting to be Quaestor, of course! But, then again, that's not my biggest victory. My biggest victory would have to be getting pretty close to beating Eli in the Quaestorship race that he resigned from later on. To be told that some people thought I could do as good a job as Quaestor as Eli, that...that was a victory.<br />
<br />
Ylling: Which fellow Senator do you most like?<br />
<br />
Chron: I don't play favourites, hahah! Although, there are a great many Senators I am friends with, and chat with on AIM regularly, such as Cortath, NI, and less frequently, Eli, I still like to consider myself on good terms with GP, Hippo, Aesculapius, and others. I can't really say that I have any people I like or dislike in particular; I think we're all a good bunch.<br />
<br />
Ylling: What advice can you give new applicants?<br />
<br />
Chron: Kiss my feet, bi-atch! It'll win ya votes! hehe...But, no, not really, I could advise new applicants to do is avoid getting NI to slap you in your application thread, and just answer honestly, because, thanks to the soon-to-be established BBC, we will know all....<br />
<br />
Ylling: What is the biggest issue facing NS at the moment?<br />
<br />
Chron: Inactivity, atrophy, and other things of that ilk. I've heard older senators refer to this as the "summer lull", however, I feel that the Met has to make a name for itself as soon as possible, and as quickly as possible to raise up activity levels before we die off. AS for NS at large...I kind of wish that one of the major espionage masters in NS, or, puppet-masters to be apt, such as Unistrut, Thomasia, or Eureka, would pull some incredible stunt out of their respective asses. Although, a return of Francos Spain could liven up things...*ahem* But, I'm full of it right now, ha!<br />
<br />
Ylling: What do you think is the biggest issue facing the real world at the moment?<br />
<br />
Chron: At the moment...the question of the world economy, it isn't about terrorism, or freedom, because, as widely publicized as they are, these incidents are relatively isolated in certain regions of the world, and, as a whole, don't really affect much. The only argument for civil unrest and Terrorism in the Middle East is due to the fact that they are major producers of diamonds and Oil, two very valuable commodities in the world, with incredibly lucrative industries. The world's political fascination with Terrorism, to be apt, is more because of its economic, rather than social relevance. We are turning into a world economy, alas, and, as such, these major production centers are that much more vital to all nations. Especially with crude oil wells drying up practically everywhere except Taiwan and the Middle East these days...<br />
<br />
Ylling: Who is your favourite historical diplomat?<br />
<br />
Chron: Ben Franklin, for the simple fact that he was the first real example of the American Super Pimp.<br />
<br />
I mean...they had chamber pots in France, for crying out loud! You find me another diplomat who went over as well or better with a country.<br />
<br />
Ylling: We always have to close on a weird one- so, favourite member of Mysteries Inc.?<br />
<br />
Chron:Scrappy Doo, if only for his awesome revenge in the Live-Action scooby Doo movie from a few years ago. That, and seeing Daphne/Sarah Michelle Geller getting urinated on is pure comedic genius! HAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAH!<br />
<br />
*At this point, Chronorican security guards burst into the room, seeing their representative passed out on the ground from laughing, they immediately tranquilize the Interviewer from Ylling, and leave him for dead in a ditch on the outskirts of the MAD...Oddly enough, when he reaches for his ear, he finds a numbered tag attached to it*<br />

<br />
Edited by Soigacas<br />
Contributors: Xhadam, Biyah, Cortath, Chronorica<br />
Soig's note: I would have liked to have published this yesterday and with more content, but my hand has been forced<br />
<br />
===Editorial: You’ve got to ask yourself a question…===<br />
<br />
The Meritocracy is currently experiencing one of it’s most interesting and talked about Consular elections ever. For those of you unfamiliar with the situation, the facts thus: Cortath was expected to win by a large margin. He has stirred Meritocratic public opinion with resounding speeches and grand visions. However, as nominations for Consul began, Cortath ceased to exist. Meritocratic law means that any Senator whose nation ceases to exist must have their Senatorship revoked – thus requiring them to go through the lengthy re-application process (the same process that is used to review new applicants to the Senate). This has led to a rather bizarre race between myself, Warrior Thorin and Xiang Gang. Yesterday, renegade Senator Eureka was eliminated from the race on another technicality.<br />
<br />
I am aware what I am about to say will undoubtedly lose me votes. But I do not care, because it is what I ferverently believe. Warrior Thorin’s change of alignment from pro- to anti-Cortath has already gained him three votes. My plea is this: Senators. This election has brought out the worst in the Meritocracy. This is not about favouritism or Cortath’s policies, it is about what is best for the Meritocracy, what is best for us. In this case, bureaucracy and red tape is preventing us from doing what seems right. It’s silly and trivial. Some say it’s because Cortath is a well-respected Senator, and that we wouldn’t do this for a newer Senator. To them I would say this: we make members of our region apply for Senatorship because we need to judge their merit. Cortath has time and time again proven he has merit. Just look what he achieved in his last term as Quaestor.<br />
<br />
I thought Warrior Thorin was in agreement, but apparently the prospect of himself being Consul changed his mind. As the saying goes, power corrupts.<br />
<br />
So please, let Cortath run for Consul. I’m not asking for him to be made Consul, merely for a vote. You’ve got to ask yourself a question: what is best for the Meritocracy?<br />
<br />
===The Allied States of EuroIslanders on the West Pacific Crisis===<br />
by Xhadam<br />
<br />
It has been reported in numerous places that the Allied States of EuorIslanders, a leftist region and member of the Red Liberty Alliance, offered their support to the West Pacific Dominion during their brief takeover of the West Pacific. Some have claimed that the only reason we withdrew this support is that the WPD was going to side with the Alliance Defense Network and so we would have no reason to back them any longer.<br />
<br />
These statements are false. The ASE itself took no formal position on the West Pacific Dominion, issuing such a decree would take a vote which would last days in the Assembly of the Allied States. However, while the region itself took no official action, the stances taken by the members of that region were clear. Numerous members engaged in direct military action against the WPD from the very beginning and some, such as Dalimbar and Xha'dam were edging towards a declaration of war on the WPD, the former motioning such a declaration to the Assembly. The immediate reaction of everyone who made their thoughts public in the ASE was one of shock and outrage.<br />
<br />
The only exception to this was the reaction of one member of the Allied States of EuroIslanders was EuroSoviets. His reaction was more cautious than those of the rest of the region and rather than immediately deciding to engage in open combat, went about attempting to figure out what precisely was going on. He did this in numerous ways including talks with members of the "Core" of the WPD and the unilateral opening of an embassy in the WPD in an attempt to formally petition the WPD government to explain themselves.<br />
<br />
The cautious stance taken by EuroSoviets has been unfairly misrepresented in some places as a show of support for the WPD and many detractors have jumped on this as a way to attempt to hurt the image of the ASE. Some members of the Core have been using this as a way to justify their own actions. The ASE views these attempts as unfair malignment of us and a disregard for the facts. No support was given, no support was offered, and no support was forthcoming. As was testified to by members of the West Pacific such as Eli and Dilber, the ASE stood firmly with our democratic allies.<br />
<br />
The ASE stands for democracy. We were angered by the actions taken by the WPD and the ASE believes we did all we could to show support for the legitimate ruling body of the West Pacific. We further state that the attempts to label any actions taken by our region during this crisis are inaccurate and misleading. During the Day of Hell, we stood in solidarity with our democratic kin of the West Pacific and we sounded fury against those who had attacked them.<br />
<br />
This is the true story of the ASE during the Day of Hell. We did not support the WPD, we did not support the overthrow of democracy, we did not support the rise of tyranny. We saw our comarades of the West Pacifc threatened. We reacted with shock and outrage. We sent diplomats. We sent soldiers. And, if in some dark hour democracy is once again threatened by those who would take it away, we will do it all again. The ASE did not accept the oppression of the West Pacific and it is our solemn vow that we never will.<br />

===Biyah speaks===<br />
Interview by Soigacas and Chronorica<br />
<br />
MT: Biyah, thank you for talking to us<br />
<br />
Biyah: No problem<br />
<br />
MT: Now that you can look back on all that has transpired, what are your feelings?<br />
<br />
Biyah: That depends on the day and my mood. When things are quiet, I am usually satisfied. Our goal was accomplished, the region has awoken and several prominent members have returned.<br />
<br />
When people decide to dish out more RL attacks, on the other hand... but that's another story.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: You took a lot of flak, in several regions. How serious did the backlash against you get?<br />
<br />
Biyah: Enough that I had to, at least temporarily, leave the region I had joined in exile and resign all my positions within the ADN.<br />
<br />
We folded before the attacks could become truly horrible, and the backlash really work up to a fever pitch, but it was bad enough. What I love best are the conspiracy theories that blew up within hours of our launch. I would say the backlash was the worst, not against us, but against those who even appeared to support us in the starting hours of the Dominion.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Were there any people who stood up and supported you?<br />
<br />
Biyah: Absolutely. Besides the original core, we had another 3 or 4 join us within hours. There were, hmm, 5 people solid on the 'resistance', to our 15 minimum. These numbers would have changed in time, but I think that is fairly indicative that we had regional support.<br />
<br />
I had two people from out-region join me, and I approached a third who was thinking it over, though we had to move before he could think it out.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Just how inactive was TWP before the Core?<br />
Biyah: http://s8.invisionfree.com/The_West_Pac ... topic=4436<br />
<br />
TAO put together a forum activity log for the last year, you can clearly see the slump. The posting that was going on was all in OOC areas, and there was precious little of that.<br />
<br />
Our biggest debate in months was whether or not to have a focus group on using 'abstain' in voting. And of that, very few took part.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: How do you feel about the situation in TWP now?<br />
<br />
Biyah: They are pulling it all together, people are talking again, I'm rather pleased.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Did you anticipate it would fail so spectacularly?<br />
<br />
Biyah: Eh... no. But we had all gone in knowing we would fold if it was going to be a full-blown civil war. What I didn’t expect was the level of hate mail we would get, it caused at least two Core members to pull out, which caused even more rumors to start and the level of resistance to rise.<br />
<br />
To many people accused us of being the NPD without even registering on our forums to look around and see what we had to say.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT:Some say this was a power-grab by you, similar to the Pixiedance affair. What do you say to them?<br />
<br />
Biyah: Grow up.<br />
<br />
1) We didn’t hand our delegacy to a prominent out-region player<br />
2) The NPD had 4 members to start, we had 2/3's or better of the active natives on board before we ever launched.<br />
3) I resigned and Shasoria folded the Dominion rather then start a full blown civil war when we -could- have held the region easily.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: How have your fellow Core members been treated?<br />
<br />
Biyah: The harassment has mostly stopped since the fall; especially after several non-involved members of TWP started saying that it appeared we had the best intentions at heart. Most of the Core stayed in the region and are being treated fairly well. TWP has always had a kind heart, this is one of those instances I'm glad of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Do you have any plans for the near future? What about long term?<br />
<br />
Biyah: A well deserved vacation in the short term. In the long term, well... we'll see ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: If you could go back in time, what would you do differently?<br />
<br />
Biyah: I'm not sure there is anything we could have done differently. I couldn’t cut back on the members involved or it -would- have been a minority take-over. And we can't have had the same number of people without developing the same style leak as what caused us to launch early.<br />
<br />
I would do it again in the same way, if I had too.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Any final thoughts?<br />
<br />
Biyah: I am a TWP patriot, and I always will be. I've spent the last 2.5 years in that region spending more time then most keeping it running smoothly. To those of you who recognize this fact, I salute you.<br />
<br />
To those of you still sending us hate mail... bite me.<br />
<br />
<br />
MT: Thanks again for your time<br />
<br />
Biyah: Have a good one ;-)<br />

===The World Today===<br />
Article by Hetairia<br />
<br />
A Four Part Series on NationStates<br />
<br />
This four-part series will examine some of the trends in NationStates in light of their history, politics, and some of the ideas that have commonly arisen from these events and philosophies. As much concern has been made, these articles are an effort to push the debate forward on what could be done and what might be done to revitalize the larger world. There is no one solution to these issues, but the suggestions that follow are the opening discussion in a debate that will become crucial for every nation and region.<br />
<br />
'''Introduction: The World Today'''<br />
<br />
Forgive my overly colloquial style, but my writing, much like my thoughts tends to function like a narrative. As someone who had consciously made a decision to remove myself from the NationStates world at-large for the relative security of my home region, the Meritocracy, I did not know what to expect from the international scene. The names and even a good number of the players were recognizable from an earlier phase, but the institutions were not wholly familiar. So, my journey through the NS world taught me a few things, both good and bad about our world, and I would like to share them.<br />
<br />
On a positive note, there is still a great deal of interest and enthusiasm in the game. Despite the fact that NationStates is in its fourth year, players still find this universe compelling enough to devote substantial amounts of time and effort to their appointed regions and organizations. It has been my great fortune to know some of these players both in the context of the game, and beyond that, and I feel myself immeasurably enriched by their presence. Together, it is they who make this game, and they remain as dedicated as ever.<br />
<br />
With all that enthusiasm, the logical expectation that one might have is that all is well in the NS world, but this is not the case. Although we are nowhere near a crisis, the number of players is slowly declining, and activity is coming to a halt. The Invader/Defender conflicts that were the primary engine of development for the better known organizations in the game have begun to collapse. Thanks to a fiercely protective rule set, and superior organization on the part of the defenders, they are becoming victim to their own success as Invaders are forced into more and more disparate groups, with ever decreasing chance of success.<br />
<br />
One of the most successful organizations in the history of this game, the Alliance Defense Network, will surely feel the consequences of this reduction. Although their organization is secure and stable, without purpose, one wonders how long they will continue their vigilant defense against shadows of an enemy. A commonly held joke in Defender circles is that if it were not for the spies they placed within the Invaders, they would have no leadership at all. It is funny because it is true, but it is equally true that a conflict with only one side will surely end.<br />
<br />
Each of the Feeder regions seems to have stabilized under their respective leadership groups. Although there may certainly be strife from time to time, as we witnessed in The West Pacific over the last week, the same groups of people will remain entrenched in power, battling over the particulars of how their power will be used with one another, and admitting only a trickle of new members into that elite. Such conservatism provides security, but it has also fostered a mindset that encourages political withdrawal by the Feeders, and instead of exhibiting leadership in the world, the general trend is for the Pacifics to simply content themselves with local activity, and make the game about the battle for endorsement counting and backroom haggling.<br />
<br />
In the larger world, outside a few well-known regions, and rare success stories, the picture is considerably less encouraging. Regions are disparate and have little means of meaningful contact betwixt one another. Embassies are occasionally sent, but interest is evaporating as the modes of conflict have become severely restrained and the benefits to contact and cooperation, beyond the obvious role playing aspects, are marginal. There are many worthwhile endeavours out there, but fewer each month, and the universe of NS begins to collapse upon itself.<br />
<br />
In short, the world finds itself at a crossroads. In my last article, I spent some time speaking to the conference between the leading nations about what could be done. Nothing was concluded that day, but it is a problem we cannot afford to neglect. If we are to take action to enliven this world, the discussion needs to begin immediately, and we cannot hesitate to act. However, to do that, we need to understand some of the alternative viewpoints out there. The second instalment of this series examines some of those, as we continue this strange odyssey.<br />
<br />
'''Continuation: What People Think'''<br />
<br />
In this article, I am going to further examine some of the thought processes and activities in NationStates. One of the wonderful things about being an editorialist is that I am by no means required to make any pretense of objectivity in my analysis, and I will not do so here. However, I will use logic to substantiate the views I take with respect to some of these beliefs, and leave it to the reader to decide which arguments have the most merit.<br />
<br />
Upon my return, one term that kept returning to me upon my travels was Francoism. Unaware of what this meant, precisely, I spoke with several people about it, and it seemed to me to be little more than a justification for a feeder adopting an isolationist and self-righteous philosophy. Discontent with that explanation, I took the time to consult the esteemed NS Wikipedia, and to read the official statement put out by the most noted Francoists. My initial conclusion was wrong: Francoism is, instead, a washed up Marxist rehash to justify an isolationist and self-righteous entity. Lest anyone accuse me of overwhelming personal bias, know that I have no particular issues with the adherents of this doctrine, Franco personally, or The Pacific as a group. However, any attempt to argue with them unfailingly results in condemnation for not being able to see the truth of Francoism, something also vaguely reminiscent of those who take Marxism as infallible.<br />
<br />
Though my wish is not to deconstruct the arguments of illogical philosophies, this doctrine had gained such credence in the feederite world, such as it is now being called, that I feel compelled to offer my own critique of their thoughts.<br />
<br />
Their assumption that class is a function of location is completely absurd. Class only works as an identifier when there are distinctive properties to the differing entities being considered. All nations belong to the same class as they may join the UN, have one vote, and are restricted only by their talent. Their location may be freely chosen, as may also be their principles. The only difference between a feederite and a userite is the organization they choose to represent, and there is no fundamental relationship between them other than voluntary choices each makes, as individual organizations.<br />
<br />
If one continues this argument further, although I admit no fundamental distinction between the feeder regions and the non-feeder regions, one would have to confess that it is the feeders who are given unfair advantages. Whereas other regions have to expend their effort to grow, the feeders are given the unique capacity to simply absorb an ever replenishing supply of new political capital in new nations. Francoism tacitly recognizes this, but argues that these nations should be retained to where they enter, and they would have the feeders become entities unto themselves that consist of the whole world.<br />
<br />
To be honest, while writing this, I feel like I am debunking a story invented by some ten year old to have a justification for the seizure of a region. If Francoism was just that, I too could sit easily and laugh, but people take this seriously and therefore, so must I. It is the justification for nationalism, insular thinking, and simply adopts language familiar to real-life theories to perpetuate a regime that was initially of dubious legality. The origins of their power are of little concern at this point, but the idea that feeders can exist without the userite world is pernicious. Naturally, I have misunderstood the theory, but so does everyone who disagrees. Read it yourself, and decide.<br />
<br />
The consequence of this theory, and the larger view of insular thinking and pessimistic realism, is the game ceases to function on any creative level. New regions are not encouraged, new interactions do not occur, and the single mode of political combat comes trying to arise within a single region. Such a system can only be sustained for so long, as the pressures within a stable framework will eventually lead to apathy and revolt. For feeders specifically, but for any region that chooses not to interact, the future is the dissolution of the region as any meaningful political entity, and either disappearance, a role-playing escape, or a debating hall. We should not accept this end passively.<br />
<br />
The problem I describe here is common to all organizations, but their institutions are so entrenched that it is difficult for them to envision an easy escape from the malaise. Nobody wants to give up the power or authority they have earned, so they will continue a pretense, even unhappily to maintain their position. In this, I think of many of the great defender alliances will begin to recognize that their own success has invalidated their mission. With ever more strident and controversial tactics being used, as both sides have gone to and beyond the limits of what the game will allow, these seem the last gasps of a desperate battle to continue a war which has already been won.<br />
<br />
Their vision of interregional dynamism based upon invader/defender conflict is quickly becoming obsolete. Their loss of influence is obvious in any number of regions, and in the perspectives of many of the members involved in those activities. The feeders can defend themselves ably, and the rest of the world, save a few select entities, is so distant as to be unrecognizable. With the power all being implemented in one place, it is unsurprising that this would be the case, but it has also done nothing but encourage the general conservatism that has atrophied the game.<br />
<br />
The other means of contact and conflict, the United Nations, has long since passed into oblivion as any sort of meaningful board whereby arguments may occur. As we know all too well here in the Meritocracy, it is impossible folly to try and influence a body where your words have no meaning amidst a sea of voices so large. We might choose to belong, but having no means to reach those whom we would be subject to, the sovereign regions of the world cannot use this as their primary means of contact. Belonging or not belonging to the UN has become garnish to the fundamental action of the game, having little relevance other than aesthetically.<br />
<br />
We come back to a world where the large regions are increasingly devolving to focus merely upon themselves, where the institutions that united the regions in contact, even if through conflict, are systemically weakening, and where there appears to be no existing alternative that would appeal to those seeking to bridge these gaps. In the interim, players are losing interest because the games of endorsement counting grow tiresome, and there seems to be nothing new here to inspire their interest and intrigues.<br />
<br />
To them, I would say there is a world sorely in need of your dynamism and energy, but to get to it, we are going to have to rethink the entire approach to the game. A new theory can be formed that brings together the many forces in this world, and does so in a way that respects the communities of which we all belong, but also allows for meaningful interaction. The third part of this series is one possible future that embraces this vision and that focuses on what we could forge together.<br />
<br />
'''The Road Ahead'''<br />
<br />
In my last article, I spent some time profiling some of the philosophies and positions currently popular in NationStates. To say I view that as flawed in some cases and inadequate in others is certainly true, but perhaps I was overly harsh. The reason for that is because of my growing conviction that something serious is needed to shake up the complacency that reigns in NS. No position will mean anything if the game is not revitalized and simply struggling over five positions, ad nauseam, will not accomplish this. We need a new approach.<br />
<br />
Through sheer accident, I happened to be present for most of the great events of NationStates and remember the Golden Days. Believe me when I tell you they were fraught with just as much uncertainty and trepidation as today, and the only golden thing about them was the polish put on the justifications and theories. However, nations began finding a new way to communicate, through the creation of the defender leagues and other alliances, and this was a positive because it brought order to the world, preserved regions, but encouraged nations to share their ideas and to work together in a positive way. This created a nucleus of excellent players, many of whom reside here and throughout the more respected places of the world. What they did once can be done again.<br />
<br />
The question that keeps entering my mind is how we can begin to unite regions once again. Right now, the primary focus of most players and regions is upon one or all of the feeder regions, and controlling, conquering, or defending them. The challenge is immense in this, and has spawned great operations, but little action. Secure in their borders thanks to the aids of logistics and technology, if we continue along this path, gameplay will invariably continue to deteriorate. A new formula outside of the invasions and defenses of the past is needed.<br />
<br />
As an argument that should resonate here in the Meritocracy, one of the original breakaway regions, I think that what we desperately need to do is bring the regions of this world outside the feeder zone into contact with one another. By contact, this means more than the customary exchange of ambassadors and greetings, but the formation of real entities to begin meaningful communication and action. Not only do we need to take this step forward, but every major and minor region should be invited to join us.<br />
<br />
The conclusions that would be drawn from such a summit are not for me to predict, but just the act of bringing a few regions together, outside of the current paradigm, has such potential to open up new possibilities. Instead of being forced into the current chase for those few places, we could determine a world of our influence, regions that are inviolate and secure, but also places of mutual interest, and even mutual conflict. Within that, we could have control over the rules to allow all types of play, roleplaying, conquest, and diplomacy to co-exist and flourish. This loose-knit federation will have complete autonomy for each member region, but could also work together for shared security and perhaps other obligations as well.<br />
<br />
It would give us all a chance to restart, to build alliances anew and, as much as possible, determining the rules under which the game would function. Often, players cry that the rules make action impossible. This would not be the case in this federated territory. We would be making the game our own, which is the only means by which positive change has ever been accomplished in NationStates. Equally important, ours would be an inclusive area, allowing any region who agreed to a code of common conduct to participate. We would encourage new entrants, and though we may argue and fight over our political and diplomatic preferences, the overarching alliance would make this group virtually impervious to attack and very influential.<br />
<br />
One might suggest that this can be done within the existing superstructure. In theory, it could, but all the interests currently ingrained in power assure that this will not happen. Their personal concerns outweigh the greater benefit for the gaming world as a whole, and so I doubt we will be seeing the entry or involvement of any Pacific in such a federation as I propose. Moreover, lest their influence contaminate our intent, I heartily recommend repudiating their entry, as we should focus upon the things that we, the experienced and dedicated users create. Those of us who are the best players in this game are the only ones with the power to create a world where we may pursue our desires, and we must not be afraid to blaze new trails to do so.<br />
<br />
As a first step, I would recommend convening a council between the major regions of the game, such as our Meritocracy, Gatesville, the Stronghold, Nasicournia, and the like to begin these discussions. Consultations can only serve to our mutual benefit, and having real diplomacy, not the semblance of niceties that currently is identified as such, take place would be to all our benefit. If we can found a community together, that will be as strong as anything in the game, because it will have the greatest asset in the world: the talented and ambitious players who have accomplished so much. These are people who will find ways to make the game better, and to ensure that we have means to continue the never-ending struggles we hate to love and love to hate.<br />
<br />
From there, we branch out to embrace other regions, and welcome them all as equal partners. By reaching out to these forgotten and neglected corners of the world, we bring relevance to their actions, and refocus the creative spirit outward instead of inward. We bring new people into our contest, but on their terms, allowing for the sovereignty and uniqueness that we all wish to preserve.<br />
<br />
What will emerge is entirely unknowable, but that something great could be built from such an arrangement is undeniable. I fervently believe this is our best chance to rekindle the game, as we incorporate the innovative spirit that inspired the creation of so many of the greater bodies of the game, and reclaim those nations that are being lost in the wilderness. When countries feel they have a home, they continue moving forward. We can build that place of welcoming, and we will all benefit for doing so.<br />
<br />
The status quo is sufficiently strong to endure for another year, perhaps, although one can only guess at the consequences. We can choose to accept the same basic formula as now, defenders beating on invaders, apathy rising, regions separating, and a loss of activity, or we can fight it. If we accept the status quo, we may personally benefit, from the spoils of our own creation, but we risk the impending entropy swallowing up all of creation outside our niches, the same places we all agree are less fulfilling than they once were. We can accept that, or we can try something else.<br />
<br />
The answers are never simple, but at least these suggestions are a start. Whatever nation you have joined, and whatever region you inhabit, the obligation is personal to find a way to reach beyond yourself. Those links are what make our community so strong, and through embracing those, we shall endure and prosper. In the final instalment of this article, I will focus upon some ideas for my home region, the Meritocracy, with respect to what is to be done, although the debate we shall here is one that is universal to all regions of import in its significance.<br />
<br />
'''Conclusion: A Time To Lead'''<br />
<br />
Having spent some time addressing both the problems and solutions present in the world today, the question that remains is what can we do? I began talking about some ideas in the last section, but the ideas here are focused specifically upon the Meritocracy, though with some variation they are valid for any region that has an interest in world affairs.<br />
<br />
For a number of reasons, we in the Meritocracy are blessed with an unusually talented and influential group of players and nations. We carry, as individuals, and collectively, the respect of the world for our talent and our judgment. With such recognition also comes grave responsibility, for if we do not act for the better of our world, it is highly doubtful that anyone else will choose to do so. Most people are too firmly entrenched in their current conflicts or positions to consider the larger problems in NationStates today as so critical to require intervention. Their own success blinds them to the impending collapse, but we should not do likewise.<br />
<br />
The time has come for us to exhibit leadership and to bring the nations and regions of the game together to find the path that will allow the game to continue to grow and flourish. A great positive step has been taken in the Invader/Defender Convention that is currently being hosted, as it shows that we are able to bring people together in a neutral setting to discuss issues of grave import. Action like this is always a positive, and there are many things we could act upon.<br />
<br />
Discussions like this are an important beginning, but only a beginning. To really accomplish our goals, we have to take positions of our own, and show leadership. We need to remind the world of our presence, and to use our ideas to demonstrate our leadership. We should begin a campaign of seeking closer relations with other large and medium sized regions and begin talks for some sort of federation such as was described in the previous column. It would give us common ground for cooperation, and allow us to pool our limited resources to begin to be able to force policy change. If we attempt this path, this will be a heavy struggle with no guarantee of success, but this is the narrow path that must be taken for the health of our world.<br />
<br />
Traditionally, the Senate has shown reluctance in getting drawn into international affairs out of respect for national sovereignty, a desire for neutrality, and a general reluctance to overextend ourselves. We would do well to remain mindful of these virtues for the road ahead, but to use them to constructively guide us toward a principled, outwardly focused foreign policy that appeals to all nations. We can control our own foreign policy through spreading these ideas and we will find allies.<br />
<br />
Words alone can only travel so far. To show our commitment to maintaining a presence in the world, it may make sense to reconstitute the Legions. Their existence was always a point of controversy, but they have served as an effective means to effect policy when used properly, and would extend much greater legitimacy to any delegation we send forth. We should have them be subservient to no entity but the Senate, but also prepared to coordinate with friendly regions in whatever arrangements we may form. Along with our compatriots in the Meritocratic Isles, we have the ability to have a well-disciplined force that shows that our commitment is sincere and backed with the authority of force as well as words.<br />
<br />
Leadership must come from above, and this editorialist hopes to see the current government take a role towards the positions advocated herein. We respect the strong stance taken by the Consul against terrorist acts and are pleased that we can combine vigorous leadership with a high ethical standard. Unlike other regions who can go forward and merely act in their own self-interest, our own self-identification obliges us not only to defend the Meritocracy, but also the ideals that permeate this institution in all that we undertake.<br />
<br />
I hope to see the discussions begin today, and that my writing will serve some small part in helping to bring new energy to the world. Nothing lasts forever, and neither shall this, but there are still many bright days ahead for the creative nations that operate in this wonderful world. If my words have been strident at times, forgive my passion, but the time for action has come and my strong belief is that we must act now, if we are to act at all. This is a debate that is relevant to every nation, so let the discussions begin, and the Senate shall lead a world that needs her guidance.<br />
<br />
Lord Tom has the dubious distinction of residing in one of the first nations ever created in NationStates, Thomasia, which is currently enjoying retirement in Lazarus. Having seen everything this world has to offer, he still knows there is more yet to come, and despite declining eyesight, he is determined to enjoy this to the last.<br />

===The Legions: A Chronorican Editorial===<br />
<br />
The following is an article arguing in favour of the recreation of the Meritocratic Legions, giving arguments in favour of their reformation on a logical basis, as well as a political one.<br />
<br />
'''The Past of the Legions'''<br />
<br />
The Meritocratic Legions, are, today, a highly controversial topic in regard to most Senators, reflecting vestiges, in this Senators opinion, of the Non-Predetermanists of the Old Meritocracy. The Legions have a storied history in the Senate, being used as basically, the enforcer of the Senate’s will. Lead by the Lictor, the Legions were the Meritocratic Army, both in Roleplaying, and, in the game of Nationstates itself. There was some use for the Legions in the early history of the Senate, during the days of open warfare in Nationstates, during the time of the Atlantic Central Command and such. Later, although, the Legions became far less active and efficient, especially in regards to the enforcement of senate treaties of alliance. This is not due to the structure of the legions themselves, in my belief, but rather, due to the general policies of the Senate, marked by such actions as our refusal to aid the North pacific during the NPD crisis, as well as our, t best, dismal showing in helping our ALL defender allies. Again, this is not due so much to the actions of the Lictor, but, due to the general policies of the Senate, which, by this time, was heavily influenced by Non-Predetermanist Senators. In the end, the Legions were eventually reduced to total impotency, whereas the Meritocracy’s MIA was in full swing, which suggests, in this Senators opinion, a general dislike towards overt action on the part of many senators, yet, the encouragement of Covert actions by those very same players. In the end, the last Lictor, Crazy Girl, was horrifically inactive in the senate, even during the NPD crisis, and, as a defender, here she was, with another set of forces ready to use against Moldavi, but she didn’t use them. Again, not the fault of the legions themselves, but, more the fault of the Senate which had delegated the once proud Lictor to little more than any empty position. In the end, a neutral majority disliked the Legions, and, even though they could not get the numbers to eliminate it, they did have the numbers to render it ineffective by arguing against its use at every possible opportunity. However, the fact remains that, in the Old Meritocracy, the Legions did exist, and there is little doubt that they did not bring any harm to the Senate. The Legions themselves were a tool of the Senate, and, more than any other part of the Meritocracy’s arsenal, it showed what the Senate’s stance on an issue was. It was, for all intents and purposes, the ultimate expression of the senate’s foreign policy.<br />
<br />
'''The Debate over the Legions'''<br />
<br />
Today, the debate comes up in the Accords Senate, whether or not to reinstate the legions as a Senate military force capable of acting out the senate’s interests throughout NS. The current Consul, Warrior Thorin, is against this move, on the basis that he holds the entirely justified opinion that the Legions should exist as little more than a defensive army. Used only in the direct defense of the senate, basically, a national guard. However, as said before, the Lictor is leader of the senate’s armed forces, which have both RP and NS implications; In regards to the massive war encompassing Meriterra right now, the Lictor could use the senate’s Legions to strike against aggressors, and quell down offensive actions against a sovereign nation, a meritocratic peacekeeping force. While one could easily say that this is irrelevant to the discussion of the Legions role in foreign policy, one must take a step back and think about the situation in regards to policy: IC-wise, the entire Senate is role-playing, this too, is the same in Nationstates. If one were to determine that the legions were to remain exclusively for defense, than the Legions would be used entirely for the defense of the meritocratic Senate itself, limiting its base of operations only to the Meritocratic Administrative district. To put this into an RP perspective, the Legions, in such a way, would have been able to prevent the MAD from being taken over in the Pebbles incident which lead to the dissolution of the previous Senate, but, they would not have been able to take a police action against the Kitimat Pact, which had taken it over. It would simply have been able to repel the invaders, not defeat them. That situation itself could have occurred, had the Lictor at that time, Crazy Girl, been active and concerned with role play, at least as much as many other senators were. Now, in an NS perspective, using the Legions expressly for defense of the region “The New Meritocracy” would equate to simply moving in widely scattered UN nations, and bring them into the region in order to prevent it from being taken over by an occupying power. With Winnipeg as the region’s founder this scenario is basically pointless, and, using it as the only scenario in which the Legions were to be utilized constitutes a de facto elimination of them. On the other hand, there is also the interpretation of using them in order to defend Meritocratic Territories and satellites, this scenario can be argued either in favor of the defense force ideal, or, the Foreign policy tool ideal. As the Territories can be defined as either separate entities granted special rankings and rights by the senate, or, as simply parts of Meriterra/The region of “The New Meritocracy”. I myself, tend to view Meritoractic Territories as Separate autonomous entities which enjoy special privileges granted to them by the Meritocratic Senate. The point to this, is that if the Meritocratic territories are indeed separate autonomous Nations granted special privileges, than that means one of two things for the Legions: Either defend them, or don’t. If used in defense of the Territories, than the Legions act as extensions of the senate’ foreign policy, that being, to defend it’s territories abroad through any means necessary. If not, it reflects that the Senate views the Legions as exclusive required for the region “The New Meritocracy”.<br />
<br />
To now go into an even larger perspective, if it is then allowable to use the Legions as extensions of the senate’s Foreign policy in regards to Meritocratic Territories, then why not other regions? Why not Meritocratic allies? Or, use the Legions simply to act in hand with other organizations against organizations which the Meritocratic Senate deems to be detrimental to it’s interests? If we can defend ourselves from invasion, why can we not go against those who would dare to invade us, and even invade them back? At this point, is where the controversy begins. Several senators may fear a slippery slope, in which the legions may be abused for selfish reasons, or others fear that they may be used against those we would want to remain having tentative diplomatic relations with. Military action is indeed the ultimate expression of foreign policy, with its use, the Senate cannot claim that it was merely acting in concert with other nations in order to maintain being marginalized. Nor, can it be claimed afterwards that the senat was not really against the targeted party. Military Action against a target *is* opposition, plain and simple. It rejects the very basis upon which neutrality is built upon, one of uncertain loyalties, or viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Now, we return to the immediate picture, that of the Senate and it’s foreign policy. There was a temporary resurgence of the Non-Predetermanist idealology in the Senate a few weeks back, with some Senators arguing in favor of it, and then, being trounced by great Senators of Past and Present. Therefore, it is unlikely to become Senate Policy any time soon, as it once was. Part of the resolution of that argument lies in the realization that being a negotiator requires both power and respect, both of which, the Senate lack as of late. What is also necessary for the senate’s revival as an NS power, is a coherent foreign policy, which, admittedly, has largely been limited to recruitment for the past several months. The problem with a written foreign policy, is that it is largely ignored, unnoticed, or, for that matter, relatively weak. What’s needed for a foreign policy, is teeth, which a written foreign policy by itself lacks. This is where the Legions come in, of old, the Senate’s foreign policy and power was established through two different courses of action: The Legions in their opposition to the ACC, which gave it headway in the defender sphere of NS influence. And, the Meritocacy’s former ability to influence the UN, which came to a head in its defeat of one of the first Minimum wage UN resolutions. This firmly established the Meritocracy in the Capitalist sphere of influence. Due to it’s long standing in both spheres, its influence only grew with time, eventually, until it possessed enough power to try and influence NS affairs, in its newly corrupt, and morbidly glutted form. This was TYW/RRA, the failure of non-predetermanilism. The majority which had rendered the legions useless, tried their hand at a monumentous opportunity to establish the Senate as the great Negotiator. This failed, and miserably. In the end, it was due to the Private negotiations of a high-ranking RRA officer, Greymarshes, who had been uninvolved in the negotiations, that ended the crisis before TYW truly took over the Rejected Realms, and plunged the Defender community into a rush to take it back. It is worth note that the Legions were never deployed during this struggle, although several Senators sent their private UN nations in to aid both sides.<br />
<br />
'''The Potential of the Legions'''<br />
<br />
Regardless, this shows that the ideal of “peaceable” action by the senate is altogether pointless. As it has no real effect in NS, despite its high moral claims. One of the detractions to the reinstatement of the Legions is not so much its political implications, but, its practical limitations. As a Senate made up of members with a multitude of NS interests, we very rarely, have a UN nation to spare for the use of Senate interests. While this may be true, there is enough of a core group of merit-only senators, that an effective force can be made. Ten UN nations may not be enough to take down a Feeder, but, its enough to tip the scale in our favor when dealing with a much smaller operation. I suggest that we take to defending capitalist regions from invasion by Communist, Nazi, and other anti-Capitalist forces. We should start off small, first, by kicking regions like The Youngworld and Galts Gulch out of warzones, to hone our efficiency, and then, perhaps focusing on Capitalist regions taken over by Communists. By acting independently in this regard, we can entice other organizations to seek opening dialogues with us in regards to working together, through military means. At least in the short-term. Of course, that’s only a possibility. But, it’s a possibility that can increase our influence and power throughout Nationstates in these days.<br />
<br />
What matters in NS is power, and as the saying goes “power begets power”. Of old, the meritocracy was able to gain power through both its words and military. In a time where our words, as loud and logical as they are, are mostly drowned out by an off-tune mass of screams, the only real way to gain any influence in NS today is through force of arms. Overt action is needed for the Senate, we need to build an image for ourselves, and for that, we need something to both attack and defend, in the most clear and poignant terms possible: The Legions.<br />
<br />
===Nasicournia Declared Enemy State===<br />
Article by Grenval II<br />
<br />
On December 13, 2005 BlackAdder, issued a statement by the Senate of The Pacific declaring Nasicournia an “Enemy state” for “actively supporting a subversive movement spawned and supported from their own territory,” a reference to the recent embassy Nasicournia opened with the Pacific Army.<br />
<br />
The Pacific considers the Pacific Army a terrorist organization because their goals include the “return of true democracy to the Pacific” among other objectives in their mission statement. According to BlackAdder, giving the Pacific Army an embassy “granted recognition” to them. The Pacific argued that the embassy gives them a form of comfort and support. Others remarked that declaring Nasicournia an enemy state based on internal policy decisions regarding foreign affairs leaps over logic and common sense.<br />
<br />
Nasicournia highlighted this leap in logic in their own statement, claiming they “made it clear that the opening [of the Pacific Army embassy] in no way was meant to send a message of recognition or legitimacy.” Instead, Nasicournia argued the embassy was meant to “facilitate communication” between the two groups. Nasicournia also placed special emphasis in the fact that the region voted in favor of the embassy and its opening was therefore required under their democratic Constitution, an ideal many Nasicournians assert The Pacific fails to embrace.<br />
<br />
Simultaneously with the main Nasicournian statement, the Nasicournian Security Council released their own announcement raising the Nasicournian Threat Level to NTL Alef, the highest level possible, because of the “recent display of aggression” from The Pacific.<br />
<br />
In keeping with the theme of statements, The Pacific issued a rebuttal to the Nasicournian statement. (The rebuttal was actually directed at a private draft version of the Nasicournian statement, indicating a Pacific spy within Nasicournia.) This rebuttal answered the Nasicournian statement piece-by-piece, stressing that the past and present actions of Nasicournia speak more to the situation than the prepared response. Additionally, the rebuttal added another level of accusation in that “Nasicournia has chosen to recognize the enemies of the Pacific, as opposed to its government.” The rebuttal continued, saying, “Nasicournia is not willing to be held accountable for the actions of its members. Not just a minority, like Nasicournia’s founder would lead you to believe, but a large proportion of its most vocal members [… hold] dual citizenship in [both Nasicournia and the] Pacific Army [and] voted for the recognition of said region [the Pacific Army] in Nasicournia. Nasicournia has, effectively, proved unwilling to deter its own citizens from attempting to subvert our region.” The rebuttal climaxed with the accusation that “Nasicournia has opened relations with a region trying to subvert another region’s government and its members have become active participants and supporters, both in Pacific Army and back home,” and that this stance is a “declaration of war in itself.”<br />
<br />
The political fallout from this situation has been substantially less than expected. No great war has ensued. The lines have not been re-drawn; the armies have not been mobilized. As many have observed, this changes nothing. However, for at least one person, this has changed everything. SWATH, a high-ranking Nasicournian and forum administrator, who is also known as 1838, a citizen of The Pacific, was forced to leave Nasicournia for the Federal Commonwealth Society to prevent others from using his Nasicournian citizenship against him.<br />
<br />
While this diplomatic incident will change the way the game is played for some, for the majority of NationStaters, the game is quickly returning to the normal war of words between The Pacific and Nasicournia. Unless The Pacific moves towards open hostility against Nasicournian allies, it appears this crisis will be written as yet another close call between the giants of our world.<br />
<br />
===Meritocratic Statement regarding RLA===<br />
Statement by Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
Afslavistakistania, Warrior Thorin and Eli agree on the wording of the statement<br />
<br />
The Meritocracy views the recent actions by members and former members of the RLA to be criminal in result. We hope that the RLA as an organization will root out such behavior in the future. The Meritocracy supports a complete reformation of the RLA with attention being paid to protecting the rights of all. No organization should be above reproach for claiming high ideals, they must also exhibit them. We will watch with interest as the RLA reforms its policies after this most injudicious incident.<br />

===Unistrut Reapplies to the Senate===<br />
<br />
Article by Soigacas<br />
<br />
Former Senator and Consul of the Meritocracy, Unistrut, made an unexpected return to the Senate on New Year’s Day. Says he: “Let’s do this thing”. Unistrut is one of the Meritocracy’s more colourful characters, having in the past both led the Senate and attempted to infiltrate it. We asked a few questions:<br />
<br />
Soigacas : Why have you decided to reapply to the Senate?<br />
Unistrut: Dammit, I've already answered this question about 100 times in 5 days. I like The Meritocracy, and I want to be a part of it again. Sigh.<br />
Soigacas : Should we read anything into the fact that you waited until Jan 1st 2006 to appply?<br />
Unistrut: No. Just a coincidence.<br />
Soigacas : You said in your application you weren't aiming for any positions right now. We both know that's not true. You must have something in the back of your mind.<br />
Unistrut: Why Senator Soigacas, if you feel I've been dishonest you should bring that up in my application thread. :-) What I said was the truth.<br />
Soigacas : Where do you see Unistrut in one year's time? What about the Meritocracy?<br />
Unistrut: I see Unistrut in The New Meritocracy, and the Meritocracy returned to the glory of the past.<br />
Soigacas : Why should the Meritocracy make you a Senator once more?<br />
Unistrut: Because I merit admission to the Senate. I've proved that on more than enough occasions.<br />
Soigacas : Do you think you'll get in?<br />
Unistrut: I'm optimistic. It's not a foregone conclusion though.<br />
Soigacas : Thanks for your time<br />
Unistrut: You're welcome, Soigacas<br />
<br />
Long time non-member, Bumpivania, is also petitioning the Senate for admittance. Both are expected to become Senators.<br />

===The Meritocracy: More than just a Senate===<br />
<br />
Article by Chronorica<br />
<br />
The following is written in response to Hetaira's latest editorial regarding the membership application process. As such, it contains some references to it.<br />
<br />
The other day, while I was looking over Hetairia’s latest guide to prospective senators, I couldn’t help but wonder what about this place seems so imposing as to scare some of Nationstates best and brightest off? After a great deal of deliberation, the answer seemed relatively clear; As has been said by some senators, several prospective applicants find this place too imposing. After asking several persons who I had introduced the met to, about why they didn’t stick around, the answer generally was that they weren’t sure of themselves.<br />
<br />
This can be generally attributed to two main misconceptions about the Meritocracy: The first being that the Meritocracy is nothing more than a Senate where the best and brightest of Nationstates congregate, instead of it being a region that has that Senate, and is accommodating to players of all levels. This first misconception, while the most general, has several factors that have it contribute in the minds of some prospective applicants, who end up shying away from coming here. Which leads to the second major misconception: That we are some sort of “utterly superior community”. A broad generalization of several different types of perspectives, to be sure, however, it seems fitting to use such a broad, subjective term, for such broad, subjective opinions.<br />
<br />
''It’s just another Senate''<br />
<br />
By far, the general opinion of those who have heard of the Meritocracy, is that it is just a Senate. If you want to join the Met, you have to become a Senator. That is a grave misconception, not only in the mind of the potential applicant, who is apparently ignorant of what type of community we have, and is depriving himself of an opportunity to join us, but, for us as well. There are several shy NS players out there who I believe have more than enough capability to be contributing members of the meritocratic community, but, are put off because they think they need to be a part of our governing body in order to join us. This leads to one of two possible dilemmas in the mind of the potential applicant: Either they don’t think that they are good enough to be a part of the Senate, and therefore don’t come at all; Or, they do come, and witness the Gauntlet. Simply put, the way that we treat applicants at times can pretty much scare anyone without an iron will. On several levels, this is entirely understandable, the Senate is the governing body of the New Meritocracy, we don’t want any members who aren’t of a high degree in it. But, in the mind of the onlooker, they don’t equate the Senate as being a part of the New meritocracy, but, as the two being one and the same. This is a terrible misconception, to be sure, as it prevents certain players from ever participating at all. Now, this shouldn’t be taken as a critique of the Application process, far from it. I hold the opinion that a prospective Senator should be able to handle the tough questions well, and not be intimidated by our overbearing egos, or, as Tom called it; our “tortured souls”.<br />
<br />
In the past, the idea that someone could think that the Senate was the Meritocracy seemed to be sheer lunacy to me. However, that is far from the truth. It is quite apparent that many people tend to believe that, much to this writer’s chagrin. However, what else could be expected? If you don’t know about something, and the hearsay that you do know about it scares you off, why would you even bother to look into it? And for those brave souls with that basic misunderstanding, who come here to only find a brutal application process, which seems to favor only those who have accomplished players who have done great things, it is no wonder that we have any real applicants at all! However, we do, and this fact shows that ours is not an institutional problem, but rather, one of communication. The Senate is only a part of what makes the New Meritocracy the best community in Nationstates. It is also our RolePlay and General Discussions, along with the sheer talent of our members, that makes us the best.<br />
<br />
''A question of arrogance versus quality''<br />
<br />
The Second misconception, that we are “Superior”, can be divided into two subcategories of thought: The New Meritocracy as a community of Unfounded Arrogance, or the inverse, the New Meritocracy as a region of the Truly Best. I use the term “superior” due to it’s subjective connotations, which can be taken as two different adjectives: Superior as an air of arrogance, or, Superior as an object of higher quality. This misconception can contribute in some part to the first, as a motive for keeping prospective Senators from applying here. But, overall, it is a great deal more opinion based, and therefore, simpler to understand.<br />
<br />
There are players that consider the Senate as haughty, arrogant fools that have their faces shoved each others various orifices. Now, while many who hold that opinion consider it justified, it is usually not. As has been said before, it is a misconception perpetuated by personal spite towards us for one reason or another. The tide of anti-Meritocratic sentiment reached its somewhat small peak during the North Pacific Crisis of last year. When the Senate readmitted Moldavi on a narrow margin, it was taken in an entirely different context by many of the NS world than by the Senators of the Meritocracy. Those who voted for Moldavi did not do so in support of his actions in the North Pacific, in fact, one could say there was a general consensus against it. However, most people voted their conscience, which was entirely based upon their own ideas of Merit and the concept of Duality. In effect, people voted aye to avoid compromising their own rules of gameplay. This act was not taken as such by many players, who viewed as tantamount support of the NPD by the Senate.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this negative viewpoint has yet to really die down among the general players who once held that view.<br />
<br />
In all honesty, however, I digress, while that may be the best example of anti-Merit sentiment, the fact remains that it does not address the effects of it. The misconception of the meritocracy being a community of arrogance is flawed, and so, while it’s true that we do have a collection of the best players in Nationstates here, our recognition of such is by no means an act of arrogance. Unfortunately, when people even passively hate something, especially on the internet, they will be disinclined to give it a chance.<br />
<br />
''An imposing presence''<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the viewpoint of us being a community of the best is by no means as negative. One could call it tacit praise, that the Senate is intimidating. However, the reality is, we want as many people to join us as possible, and we cannot bask in the knowledge that we have people in fear of our awesomeness for too long. Unfortunately, this misconception leads to potential applicants being apprehensive of our community because they don’t think of themselves as good enough to be a part, or that they lack the charisma to become a Lord Tom, or Sir Hippo, or Eli. In short, people that are well known in the community. This is a mistake, one can easily ingratiate themselves into our community, as long as they’re active. Even I did in a couple of months, and I’ve been a member of the Meritocracy for about a year now...even though some people around here still can’t spell my name properly. Unfortunately, people who try to work at being a part of the community are in the minority, although they have turned out to become some of our greatest senators. If this is a misconception that we want to abolish, we must find out a way in order to promote ourselves to Nationstates as a community, and not a Senate. We may, unfortunately, have to admit that we are “Just like everyone else”. But, the potential awards may be that we truly gather all of the best from around nationstates, and create what is, without any form of objective doubt, the best community in NS. And that is, in my opinion, truly worthwhile.<br />

===Lazarus: Land of the Undead===<br />
Article by Grenval II <br />
<br />
''The flag of Lazarus features a skull on a green and black background. Despite these symbols of death, Lazarus is on the brink of renewed life.''<br />
<br />
The history of Lazarus begins on May 2, 2004, with the Delegacy of LiesInc. Since that time nearly two years ago, Lazarus, now currently home to famous Meritocrats Lord Tom and Carintan, has experienced general inactivity and isolation. Because Lazarus was originally created as region for nations to be revived in or to die in, it became one of the largest and least important regions in NationStates history. But that fact is about to change. In this exclusive interview with The Free Confederates, a former Meritocratic Senator and current head of state in Lazarus, the Meritocratic Times brings the reader into the land of the undead as Lazarus begins its ascent into the larger NationStates world.<br />
<br />
wrote:<br />
Grenval II: As a long time player and former Meritocrat, what made you join Lazarus a relatively quiet region outside the interregional NationStates scene?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Well, at the time I joined Lazarus, I was still delegate of the then dying, now dead, region "The CENA." It was pretty clear the region was coming to a close. My main nation at the time was called Wealthists, and I was looking for things to do. I originally was thinking about doing stuff in the Pacific, I joined The Pacific Underground... but that wasn't really suiting me. I brought back to life The Free Confederates and found myself in Lazarus. I had no idea where I wanted to go, so I decided to stay.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: Tell us about your election to Delegate, the highest post in Lazarus.<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Well, as I mentioned at the time to a close NS friend of mine, Novus Arcadia (no idea what name he goes by these days), it has always been a bit of a dream of mine to become the delegate of a feeder region. I never really pursued the dream because I've never really lived in a feeder long enough. I lived in the Pacific for a short while... but it was only a very short period of time. Anyways, the Lazarus government was basically non-existent. The old Mandate which I had edited a few months previous was still in effect, and we still had a few of the Yaman Council members (including myself, as Foreign Affairs Commissioner), but that was basically about it. A crasher, killer kitty came into the region and took it over. A few defenders tried to take it back but gave it up. Lazarus is a no-eject region so it was sort of pointless. killer kitty was benevolent though, he kept the WFE link to our forums and participated in government discussions, he also agreed to holding elections. So when elections came around, I ran against PeoplePie, who was on the Yaman Council, but didn't hold a specific title, he had been around in Lazarus much longer than me. Lazarus was so small at that point, not to many people voted, six total. It was tied 3-3 for a few days before PeoplePie switched his vote over to me and I was declared the winner. It then took me another week to get enough endorsements for me to take the delegacy.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: What does your job as Delegate entail?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Well, what is specified in the current Lazarus Mandate is that the Delegate is the head-of-state, with almost monarchical powers. If we keep the current Mandate in effect, I won't have to go up for re-election until March! However, as the region is transitioning and will likely adopt a new Mandate shortly (this will be the fourth Mandate in Lazarus history), I've made it pretty clear that power is available for anyone who steps us. I am not the root admin on our new forums, that title goes to Igoudala. Although I am an admin. So right now I'd say the only power that I have that no one else in the region holds is the power to change the WFE and vote on UN resolutions. Although, I am making sure that our transition process goes smoothly.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: How do you feel about having Killer Kitty, a known invader, as High Commissioner, the second highest post in Lazarus?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Well, first off, he is inactive at this point. Once the new Mandate is adopted, I'll be able to re-appoint new and better people. The position of High Commissioner is being ditched entirely in the new version. Secondly, Lazarus is not a defender region, it never has been. We considered joining the CDA a few months ago, but did not accept the offer. Our previous elected delegate, Spectacor, was indeed a crasher. Killer Kitty did good things for the region and it was appropriate that he be granted the title of High Commissioner.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: Lazarus recently opened a new forum. Why did you open it and what is happening there?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: The founders of modern day Lazarus are Baribeau and LiesInc (known to the rest of the NS world as Sarda). They were the only two administrators on our s7 forum. Both are now inactive. Although me and PeoplePie are both moderators on the s7, it was quite urgent that we moved to a new forum. Igoudala created the s13 forum which is our new home. We are currently trying to design it to our desires and are working on picking good skins and what not. Some favor a new "angelic" theme, while others prefer classic "undead" business.<br />
<br />
(Editor’s Note: The current Lazarus Forum can be found here. The old Lazarus Forum can be found here.)<br />
<br />
Grenval II: Rumor has it Lazarus will soon explode onto the interregional scene in NationStates once again. What are your thoughts on this?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Most definitely. Lazarus is the least important region with a population over 500. In fact, we are over 1000. We are the only feeder region that no one cares about! It is my goal, and the goal of others in the region to change this. Once things are solid internally, we plan on developing an aggressive foreign policy. The first of our new alliances is with long time NS powerhouse, The Meritocracy (of which I am a former Senator of, and Igoudala is a current Senator of). Lazarus is the place to be for the year 2006.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: Lazarus is currently writing a new set of laws. Can you please tell us about that?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: As I mentioned earlier, modern Lazarus history begins with the first Lazarus Mandate (which is basically a constitution). In the last year or so, the Mandate has been edited many times. I myself made the most recent edits back in September of this year. After my election, when Igoudala joined the region, his first proposition was a new constitution. Although I rejected the title "constitution" I agreed to the premise and we set to work on the new Mandate. The new Mandate will have a few aspects. We have decreased the size of the Yaman Council to just five members, we will also be separating the offices of Delegate and head-of-state (the title Igoudala came up with is Plenipontiary). A few other things as well, but that is most significant.<br />
<br />
<br />
Grenval II: I noticed you are opposed to the re-creation of the Undead Hordes, Lazarus army. Can you please explain?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Erm, well... It never really existed. Zero Hour (also known as Quilium) was the first Security Commissioner who ever really did anything about the Undead Hordes... all in all, it wasn't much. Before I became delegate, I was also General of the Undead Hordes, and I can assure you, I did nothing. I found it actually sort of amusing. I remember talking to Blackbird once about Spectacor (I was investigating whether or not he was a crasher... my investigation was inconclusive, but turns out he was anyways); Blackbird told me to be careful in Lazarus because the army had been "infiltrated." I didn't respond, but I remember laughing to myself that the two person army (1/2 me, 1/2 Zero Hour) had been infiltrated.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: What do you believe is the future of Lazarus?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Sunshine and Lollipops.<br />
<br />
Grenval II: Are there any other closing remarks you would like to make?<br />
<br />
The Free Confederates: Yes... All of you really ought to come to Lazarus. I doubt there is a single veteran NS player who doesn't have a nation they need to revive. If you do, why bother leave to join some other cruddy region? Stay in Lazarus! It is the place to be.<br />

===The Meritocratic News Awards 2005===<br />
Article by Soigacas<br />
<br />
Welcome to this annual event, now in its second year, where we celebrate and recognise those who have contributed to this body over the past 12 months.<br />
<br />
And what a year it has been. We have seen Pebbles, the downfall of the old Senate, and the glorious emergence of the new Senate. We fashioned a completely new system for self-governance, and saw the start of the Herodotus project.<br />
<br />
So, onto the first award: Consul of the Year. The Curia Nuntii asked Senators to vote for the Accords Consul they thought had best served the Meritocracy. I think we can all agree that the Senator who I present this award to has tirelessly worked for the good of the Senate and the Meritocracy in 2005. He helped write the Accords, and was the first Consul under them. During his term in office he instituted the Herodotus project and spurred the region onwards. It gives me great pleasure to present the Consul of the Year award to Aesculapius!<br />
<br />
Congratulations to Aes. Our second award is for Senator of the Year, and again we asked Senators to name one of their number who has contributed the most to the Senate since the dissolution of the old Senate. The votes were very close, but one Senator had to win. Since his return to the Senate in 2005, this Senator has constantly acted for the betterment of the Meritocracy. He's never short of words, and his lengthy writings provide food for thought and inspiration for us all. I present the Senator of the Year award to one of the founding fathers of the Meritocracy, Hetairia!<br />
<br />
Our final award is new this year: Best Quote. We decided to give this award out to recognize those little gems that Senate life occasionally throws up. I have to admit Senators were not very taken with the concept, but we do have a winner. I award the Curia Nuntii Plastic Mug Award for Best Quote 2005 to the Senator from Pragmas!<br />
<br />
Well done to all our winners, and might I remind you that speeches are compulsory.<br />
<br />
===The Coming Year: You are all going to die===<br />
Article by King Justin the Brave, King of Eureka and Councillor of Bumpivania<br />
Written on the 28th of December 2005, approved by the Aedile<br />
<br />
The Meritocracy has always been a place where events overtake the the best laid plans of its members. Whether a quiet policy driven referendum, or a military campaign, the Senators and residents here are often swept along in the currents of this place.<br />
<br />
Like a great ocean, there are competing currents. Sometimes you'll be thrust forward. Other times, you'll be tossed sideways, then backwards. No one can control these currents, and the most successful of Us are merely able to judge where and when to tack upon them to ensure a rough arrival of somewhere where we hoped to end up.<br />
<br />
The past years have been as such, and the upcoming year will be the same. No one will be able to lay out a plan which will be adhered to. To attempt this would be folly of the worst kind. Eureka will however attempt to discuss the possibilities of the coming year.<br />
<br />
In the short term, the Meritocratic Senate faces the problem of burgeoning military action, and the restlessness of its members. While certain alliances have been strengthened, others have weakened, and some thought long forgotten have re-emerged. This shift in power will inexorably lead to greater conflict between the members of these organisation, as they attempt to find a position to outmaneuver the other and gain the greater military and political power. Eureka foresees conflict between the St Alexandersburg Pact and the Kitimat forces. Whether this will result in military action is as yet unknown. It depends on the combatants, and their willingness to negotiate and compromise.<br />
<br />
In other areas, the final formalation of a foreign policy will create tension within the Senate. With such a diverse group of Senators with outside influences, no truly independent foreign policy is possible. What the Senate will eventually endorse will be a policy not entirely acceptable to any particular side. This will lead to a schism, and possibly to a constitutional crisis. Eureka foresses large scale, if not massive, resignations from the Senate in wake of this.<br />
<br />
On an electoral front, the next Consular election will be fiercely contested. Already several potential candidates have expressed an interest in running, with two in particular having the greatest chance of winning. They will split the Senate, though behind the scenes will work together to ensure at least a progressive Senate. The next Consul will lead foreign policy heavily, regardless of who wins. This leads back into our previous point.<br />
<br />
Senate membership wise, after a short term drop in membership, the foreign policy should enable a growth in overall membership. By the end of the year, We suggest the Senate will be between 10% - 30% larger than it is now.<br />
<br />
Once again, personalities will be at the forefront of internal Meritocratic politics. Several groups will spring up, and Eureka would not be surprised if the long dreaded political party became a common occurrence before the end of the year, with all its feared divisiveness. Certain members of the Senate will break long standing alliances to lead opposing factions. Some Senators who have long been opposed will ally for a greater good.<br />
<br />
Overall, you will be lucky if you are alive by this time next year, and those that DO survive will be part of a Senate which will have changed almost beyond recognition from the current one.<br />

<br />
''State Funeral of Francos Spain, laid to rest under Franco Square in Capital City''<br />
<br />
Francos Spain, The Rejected Realms: With friends and foes standing by his side, The Stabilizing Force of Francos Spain slipped into oblivion. Some have called him a saint, and some have called him Beelzebub, but regardless of stance, all agree that he has been the most influential person in Nationstates. Because of Francos Spain, defender groups (ADN) formed, armies were raised, game rules shifted, and the balance of power was thrown completely off-kilter. It is amazing what one man can accomplish in such a short period of time.<br />
<br />
On August 28, 2003, an unknown nation took the delegacy of the Pacific, and on September 1st, he founded a government so influential, that every politician in Nationstates had to take some position on it, The New Pacific Order. The NPO was a change from the old Pacific regime of TheDoc, which was marked with frequent bouts of inactivity from the delegate. Franco was an active delegate, as his mass bannings caused the Moderators to put a cap on the banishment list. Even this reporter had the honor of being sent to the rejected realms by El Claudio.<br />
<br />
The government appeared to be totalitarian, with its civil code and frequent banishments, but in general, the code was only selectively enforced against dissidents and spies, which appeared frequently in the government. After the 3rd invasion, spies were so common that it is estimated that ½ of all governors had ties to belligerent organizations. They were never ejected because they tended to work harder for the regime to keep their cover than the natives did.<br />
<br />
Franco left the game at the height of NPO influence. The Union of Sovereigns had been signed, the ALSO government of The North Pacific had deposed of their main enemy, and he himself was leading the Pacific Militia into the North to support the embattled ALSO government and delegate Great Blight. Unfortunately, a real life tragedy occurred and Franco’s ability to log on was permanently lost. His last known words in NationsStates was to RedCommunist:“All right. Talk with you later.”<br />
<br />
As such, the ALSO government fell, and Franco was ejected to the Rejected Realms. Many players pleaded with moderators to move him back to the Pacific for a proper farewell, but they refused to grant such a request for such an exceptional player. The NPO is renowned for having moderators rule against them, and it seems fitting to be ruled against one last time.<br />
<br />
Several people have their own thoughts on his passing, from belligerent to respectful. Here are some quotes from various members of the Nationstates Community:<br />
-----<br />
Thel D’ran:If just 1% of what was said about Francos was true, then here's what I know about him:<br />
<br />
Francos Spain was a remarkably intelligent and dedicated man. He possessed the courage and strength of character to define an approach to our common activity and, further, to serve as a leader with few equals. His talents for organization and communication were worthy of note — as was the genuine spirit of compassion he demonstrated to those who bothered to take time to know and communicate with him. Lastly, though somewhat private, he was certainly a man who felt and thought deeply. In short, he kicked ass — thoroughly and often.<br />
-----<br />
Ceasar: As a Delegate he was mediocre at best<br />
-----<br />
Twoslits Experiment: I bear him ill will in real life.<br />
<br />
His behavior toward human beings is cruel.<br />
<br />
I may be many things to cruel selfish people, but tolerant is not one of them.<br />
-----<br />
Winnipeg: Fairwell Francos Spain, while many of us Disagreed with your RP Character, and your Policies, we can all Agree that you helped make the game more enjoyable and gave many something to work towards. Tonight I hold a Cold one High in your Honour and Hope that no matter where you are, on this Earth or the Next, that you're happy and remember the fun that you've had.<br />

===ADN Reorganizes, Pope Hope Declares Martial Law (Sept. 19, 2024)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/adn-reorganizes-t184.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''An ADN Soldier takes a reprieve from enforcing Article 2, Section 5''<br />
<br />
Pope Hope, Alliance Defense Network: Beleaguered by spies and inactivity, the ADN will be leaving it’s old forums and getting a fresh, new look. Currently, the constitution is suspended, and the stagnant and inactive legislature has been swept away. In its place, Pope Hope will be given executive authority over all ADN dealings and each region will be given one representative. It appears that the much hated constitution is being revamped in a convention headed by these representatives. Despite being able to invade and defend at a moments notice, the bureaucracy of the old constitution proved so ineffective that holding an election to replace the Vice President took more than one month.<br />
<br />
The following is the Press Release issued by Pope Hope:<br />
<br />
Martial Law has been institituted as a temporary measure to help us get back on our feet after the transtition to the new forum. This is all am excellent chance to demonstrate that we can and will change the structure of our organization if needs be. And it is very needed at this point in time.Ladies and Gentleman of the Alliance Defense Network, this announcement does not come easily to me. It does, however, mark the beginning of a new hope for the ADN.<br />
<br />
For the last couple of months, my PM inbox has been barraged with complaints. Threats to leave if certain conditions are not met have been made by more than one region. The House and the Senate stagnate through inactivity and/or bickering. Political concerns and ambitions have taken priority rather than our mission of Defender Unity and Defending.<br />
<br />
We have lost a President, Vice President, and Co-Director of Intelligence, all in one month. We have lost regions over our differences.<br />
<br />
I have heard and heeded the call of many to change the way things are run around here. Representatives from nearly every region have approached me either privately or through posts in the Government Halls of this organization to take control and re-organize the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
I hereby invoke the power given to me by our Founding Members and Article 2, Section 5 of the Constitution we adopted with good intention many months ago. From this point forward, the ADN is in a state of Martial Law.<br />
<br />
The following is going to happen:<br />
<br />
--Members of the Alliance Defense Network will move to a new forum which has been constructed for the purpose of a new start.<br />
--Once registered, each member will read the whole of the Introductions forum, and follow the validation instructions within. No exceptions. You must read and follow the directions specifically in order to get validated.<br />
<br />
--If your name is on the following list, you are to be appointed temporary Council Rep from your region. These Council Reps must report to The Government Hall for final discussions and revision on the new Charter.<br />

<br />
This is it, folks. Our chance to turn things around and make it right again. We made our run at constitutional beauracracy, now it's time to shift our focus back to our original intent. We need to bring the ADN back to the roots of defending. We need to protect our regional sovereignty. We need to avoid fighting and debating over things that are inconsequential and tie our hands from our real focus here.<br />
<br />
Though our politics remain active, our military activities have declined. If you watch the RAS, you'll see the same people moving on defense missions every night while politics distract many from defending. This is not a desirable balance of attention.<br />
<br />
The ADN is not about fancy titles, or selling yourself during an election time. That has really started to bother me about this organization. I never came here expecting to be praised for my position in the ADN, as some people now seem to. I came here and worked hard, and ended up doing a lot for the ADN in the process. I can say the same about many of you. Some, however, talk much and do little. We are all here to DEFEND, a very honorable cause. It is not about ourselves, it is about protecting our regions, and about protecting the would-be victims of invasions. Many people here seem to have forgotten that.<br />
<br />
This is also a chance to air your grievances. If you are not a Council Rep, feel free to start discussions about your own concerns in the CoffeeHouse. I know you have concerns about one another, I hear it all the time. We are all friends here, please demonstrate this. If you have an issue with your ally, raise it now. There is no better time. Remain respectful, but air out your concerns now.<br />
<br />
This is a day which holds much hope for us, the brothers and sisters of the Alliance Defense Network. For over a year we have grown to know one another as more than colleagues, but as friends. We must save ourselves from imploding by taking action while we still can.<br />
<br />
Martial Law begins now.<br />
<br />
Your Loyal and Hopeful Director,<br />
<br />
High Queen Pope Hope IV<br />
<br />
Please keep this quiet and the new URL to yourself for now. It will of course be public, but we want only members to register during the transition, to keep up with masking.<br />

===UN Filing Error Afflicts Nationstates (Sept. 27, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/un-filing-error-afflicts-nationstates-t259.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Turmoil in the streets as governments fall into anarchy''<br />
<br />
UN Office, Nationstates: Due to a clerical error, democracy over the world has been thwarted. One-half of all UN nations had their voting status revoked, and many stable governments and longstanding delegates had their delegacies removed from them. Moderator Salusa Secondus had this to say<br />
<br />
Yes, we know that nations are losing delegacies all across the world.<br />
Yes, we know the cause of the problem and have a solution in place.<br />
Yes, the nation's that have lost the delegacy REALLY HAVE lost the delegacy, and all game play may proceed as if they had lost it normally.<br />
Yes, the secretary who seems to have forgotten that we have 2 filing cabinets of UN nations, not 1 will be fired. Unfortunately, due to her contract, we must allow her to finish her current job of updating all UN records. As soon as she finishes, she'll be fired and we'll have a more senior official go through both filing cabinets and (hopefully) fix everything. This will result in doubled issues and other effects, though I doubt that anyone will mind.<br />
<br />
Due to the glitch, the following feeder regions lost their delegacy:<br />
<br />
The South Pacific: The Shaft<br />
The West Pacific: Berhampore<br />
The North Pacific: Sydia<br />
The Rejected Realms: Kandarin<br />
<br />
As such, the YoungWorld’s attack on the Rejected Realm was successful for one day, but without the power to eject, Kandarin was able to reclaim his throne as Lord of the Underworld. In the West Pacific, an agent of TWP was able to take the throne, and returned it to Berhampore. In the East Pacific and South Pacifics, the ‘successors’ did not eject the former delegates, and as such, all were reinstated. Unfortunately, the usurped delegates will now have a counter next to their names.<br />
<br />
Even delegates who kept their thrones had trouble. Sydia and Unlimited, delegates of the North Pacific and The Pacific, respectively, both lost significant amounts of endorsements (about 200 each). As such, the North Pacific Army was recalled to endorse Sydia and The Pacific exercised the Union of Sovereigns Alliance and SECO and Red Army forces moved into the Pacific to endorse Unlimited.<br />
<br />
Things are now starting to get back to normal, but things have occured which can not be undone in the great glitch of 9/26/04.<br />

===Sarda & Ministry of Culture begin Casting! (Oct. 2, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sarda-ministry-of-culture-begin-casting-t291.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Salusa Primus, Sarda'' - Here in rainy central Sarda, casting has just begun on "The Pacific Revolution," the epic history of Francos and the new People's Republic.<br />
<br />
The role of Sarda is already filled by universally adored Scottish actor Rufus Sewell, and numberous others have come forward.<br />
<br />
Warrior Thorin was heard to say of the new film project that it is: "A great project in a great time. As the Pacific marches towards future greatness, our own fellows must remember the dedication and courage of those that bore the yolk of responsibility for the first Pacific Revolution."<br />
<br />
Steven "Plot-Stealer" Spielberg has also specially requested that others come forward with any extrenuous historical details, and their desire to join the new production.<br />

===New Governors Take Office (Oct. 1, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/new-governors-take-office-t284.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''(From Left to Right) Sarda, Senator Warrior Thorin, Desetland and Galasia on election day.''<br />
<br />
'''The Ministry of the Interior, Franco City, The Pacific.''' The first governors of the Pacific assumed office today after several weeks of arduous transition. Taking the helms of the two provinces are Governor Sarda (Province T-Z, named Tantus Pacificus) and Governor Desetland (Province D-G). Both governors have had experience running provinces before in the NPO, but what is unique is that they are the first elected officials of the Pacific under the PRP. Desetland commented that "I will do my best to serve my province well." The sentiments were also echoed by Sarda, who immediately decided to enact a competition to see which province could create the wildest dance in honor of Comrade Poskrebyshev. Those results shall be quite interesting!<br />
<br />
Province D-G not only has its first Governor, but it is filling other offices rapidly. Galaisa has been appointed the Vice-Governor of the region, and has certainly taken the PRP by storm with some dazzling work with posters (for example, look at the picture of the forum page!). To learn more about Province D-G, you can go to this thread.<br />
<br />
Province T-Z is now officially known as Tantus Pacificus. It is the largest province of the Pacific. Governor Sarda has appointed Chosen Men to be the Deputy Governor of the Province. CM is well-known for his undying support to Francos Spain and the other elders of the Revolution, as well as his PSAs which are broadcast in the Pacific Civil HQ. To learn more about this great province, you can visit them here.<br />
<br />
MistStlkr recently won the election for Province M-P and we await great things as he transitions the province under his governorship. MistStlkr's current vision of the direction of the province is seen with this statement how how he plans to name it: "I would like to suggest Magnus until after the first "membership drive" at which point I plan to take suggestions from province residents and put it to a vote." To watch and see how this province shapes itself, you visit the province at this thread.<br />
<br />
These are exciting times in the Pacific! And the interest continues to mount as yet another gubernatorial race is on for Province H-L, the candidates being HL Dafidius and The New Duce. You can watch the action at the polls by visiting this thread.<br />
<br />
After the elections are over in Province H-L, it appears that two provinces will be left. Who will step up and take charge of those provinces? Who thinks they can convince the citizens of the Pacific that they can lead them? If it is you, then visit the Ministry of the Interior and apply today.<br />

===Ukraine/USSR Calls For Help<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/ukraine-ussr-calls-for-help-t408.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Crazy Girl attempting to control the world again''<br />
<br />
Ukraine, USSR territories: Today, in joint session, the USSR premier Redcommunist asked the US Alliance to send troops into “Ukraine” and to endorse “Dah Homestarmy.” The Region was attacked by operatives of GLA and TITO. Having greifed the region, the moderators promptly deleted the invaders, and now, Union troops have been called in to restore order to the region.<br />
<br />
Currently, Crazy Girl, (under the name “Zandra”) has been vying for the delegacy. All able bodied UN nations are called upon to move into “Ukraine” and endorse “Dah Homestarmy” to protect it from falling into the hands of the evil doers. Unlimited noted that “the USSR has been at our side during many invasions, it is time to return the favor.”<br />
<br />
Protect the Ukraine! Protect the Union! Endorse “Dah Homestarmy” in “Ukraine.”<br />

===ADN Gets New Charter (Oct. 18, 2004)===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''The new charter of the Alliance Defense Network''<br />
<br />
ADN inner sanctum: The people of the world rejoice as the ADN shows off their newly adopted charter. The ADN has long been suffering from bureaucracy, intelligence failures, ridiculously long terms of office, and democracy in general. The new charter addresses all of these concerns and looks to put the ADN back on the map as the premiere defender organization.<br />
<br />
One of the most notable changes in the charter is eliminating many of the executive offices. Now, there is but one executive who will be held accountable for the direction of the organization. Many people complained bitterly about the one year terms of office and how this led to a lack of accountability, so the new office is elected for life. This way, the ADN won’t be bogged down by a constant election cycle and can focus not on politics but on defending. The director will have veto power over the ADN representatives, select a cabinet, any advisors, and essentially run the ADN however she sees fit. The director also has the power and duty to investigate any wrongdoings or complaints. If, for instance, there is a complaint that the director-for-life is becoming abusive, the director would launch an investigation on herself, hand select the tribunal, and have a trial regarding her wrongdoings.<br />
<br />
The ADN also does not have the power to dictate what its sovereign regions may or may not do, so if a region, say, Alcatraz, uses the ADN boards to organize an invasion using a top ADN official, then it is clearly NOT an ADN action. Clearly, this organization is highly evolved in political structure and diplomatic acumen.<br />
<br />
The ADN also does not declare war. However, it does have the power to have declared enemies. Examples of some enemies of the ADN are the PRP and the USSR. You are also made an enemy if you get out of the Alliance or refuse of give aid to your fellow ADNer when called upon to do so.<br />
<br />
There are also crimes in this new government that applies to members of the ADN. These are…<br />
<br />
''Treason against the ADN or its members. Treason is defined as attempting to overthrow the government of an alliance member region to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the region into the hands of a foreign power &#124;&#124;or attempting to overthrow the government to which one owes allegiance, either by making war or by materially supporting its enemies.<br />
<br />
Espionage against the ADN or its member regions. Espionage is defined as the practice of using spies, or other means, to collect information about what the ADN or its members are doing or plan to do.<br />
<br />
Aggression against fellow ADN members or allies. Aggression is defined as the act of initiating invasion or hostilities, which may include propaganda and fifth column activities.<br />
<br />
Invading regions for the purposes of conquest. Conquest is defined as the occupation of a region with the intention of extending its sovereignty over that region.<br />
<br />
Conduct detrimental to the proper functioning of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Allying or supporting Enemies of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Posting any sensitive information from the ADN forum elsewhere, excepting orders for the movement of troops via methods of communication secure and safe on regional forums, necessary for defensive missions.''<br />
<br />
Therefore, giving the ADN bad press is enough to make you an enemy, as well as invading regions where the natives are currently happy in their situation. Thus, actions like invading Ukraine and putting an ADN puppet in the delegates chair would be considered illegal by this new charter.<br />
<br />
All of Nationstates is excited and ready to experience a new style of defenderism under Pope Hopes lifelong reign.<br />

===Pope Hope Sues Sir Paul for Defamation (Oct. 21, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pope-hope-sues-sir-paul-for-defamation-t425.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''Sir Paul taking flak from viewers regarding the Pope Hope Scandal''<br />
<br />
World Court, The Hague: With much fanfare, Pope Hope filed suit against Sir Paul in the world court today in response to Sir Paul’s actions with her IRL image. Pope Hope stated that “…I'm sure members from both sides make their in-game comparisons and jabs as is expected I suppose. The difference between us and what you did with my RL picture is that you crossed the OOC line into personal insult on many occasions, and we do not allow that.” Pope Hope noted that she now has zero-tolerance for any more IRL character slams and will report any more line-crossing to the authorities.<br />
<br />
Sir Paul came out of the courtroom today apologetic, yet determined, to beat this rap. “The ADN doesn’t really have any symbols except Pope Hope’s IRL image, which is posted quite frequently around the forums she’s visited. I never meant to hurt her feelings, and I hope that she knows that I felt that everything was kept in character. If it’s any consolation, I’m sorry for my lack of professionalism, and I’m sorry that I hurt you.”<br />
<br />
Sir Paul has used Pope Hope’s image twice in the past. Once for the infamous “Who’s a bigger Nazi” article, and once for the “Alcatraz” article. In the first, Sir Paul placed Pope Hope, Hitler, and Unlimited’s Avatar next to each other, and then proceeded down a check list to see which government was most Nazi. Despite the disclaimer at the bottom, some felt it crossed the line. The second instance of using Pope Hope IRL image involved photoshoping Borg parts onto her and Vasquez’s IRL image in an ADN=Borg piece. Both images have since been removed and PNN’s new policy dictates that no IRL names, information, or images can be used.<br />
<br />
''Pope Hope, filing the suit in the world court''<br />
<br />
Most people agree that Sir Paul is guilty, and PNN will have hard decisions to make regarding its most famous reporter, who brings in a majority of viewers to both the Pacific Press and the Tabloid Tribune. Insiders say that Sir Paul has already attempted to resign, but that the senate rejected this, instead placing him under suspension. Pierconium stated “Sir Paul has crossed the boundaries of decency, and will be under administrative leave until further notice.”<br />

''(Originally posted in The North Pacific News Central on 4/10/2004)''<br />
<br />
'''Firstly, how did you get involved with NationStates?'''<br />
A very dear friend of mine is surviving with cancer. She invited me to join the game and I cannot refuse her any request. Her nation — Nandemo — was wandering through the smaller, founder-based regions and I invited her to join me in the North Pacific. She's been there ever since, even surviving the mass-ejections by UPS Rail and Great Bight.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with The North Pacific? Did you start off here, or come from somewhere else?'''<br />
Thel DRan, my first nation, actually generated in the North Pacific. In truth, I just hadn't noticed there were other regions until about four days after starting NationStates™.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved in the TNP forums?'''<br />
On the very day I noticed that I could change regions, I got my first telegram — from Magicality. She invited me to join the forum of TNP and I decided I'd investigate the community before wandering off to join another one.<br />
<br />
'''Where did you get the idea for the map of The North Pacific, and how, roughly, do you do it?'''<br />
My first week in TNP's forum was an investigation of what the community needed (along with a few embarrassingly n00b questions). I was truly surprised that not only was there no map there seemed never to have been any discussion of one.<br />
<br />
There's a FAQ about the map here.<br />
<br />
'''Did you enjoy The North Pacific Award Ceremony, and how are your awards? Also, where did you get the idea for the design of the awards?'''<br />
I think the Award Ceremony is in my Top Ten of the Best Topics in TNP. I didn't post anything during the planning and development stages because I was in the middle of my delegacy and thought participation might represent inappropriate influence. I was happy to be nominated for Best Topic (as I've a certain amount of pride associated with the map) and very surprised to be nominated for three other awards.<br />
The design of the awards themselves started with a Chinese medallion and was elaborated on, in stages, until it looked "cool." There are elements of Photoshop and Excel drawing functions in it. The dragon came from someone's Family Tree website, and I guess I should have bookmarked that.<br />
<br />
'''I seem to remember that you were/are a member/founder of The Avengers. How did that come about?'''<br />
From time to time, I found a region for no reason at all. Avengers Assemble initially started as an homage to my days as a comic book geek. When I was first banned by UPS Rail, Avengers seemed to be the ideal place to move. Within a week, nearly 100 nations had followed me there and it became one of the hubs of exile activity. I suppose that rate of growth, in conjunction with the truly respected names that turned up there, was the inspiration for the formation of the Government-in-Exile.<br />
<br />
'''Are there any other Non-TNP nations that you particularly admire?'''<br />
Dilber, Galdago, Cortath, Minineenee, all of the folks with whom I regularly AIM chat, and everyone in Lemuria and Avengers Assemble.<br />
<br />
'''During the UPS rail/Great Bight debacle, how did you find out about it, and what were your first thoughts?'''<br />
UPS Rail and I were actually chatting in AIM somewhat regularly before all the matter impacted the fan. I believe he was sincere in his belief that the North Pacific was under the control of a clique. I argued that I was still too new to the game to have been accepted by any such exclusive group. I was quiet surprised to find myself in the Rejected Realms as I thought we'd developed a rapport and he did seem earnest in his desire to help the region.<br />
Great Bight's motivation was and remains harder to figure out.<br />
In combination, their actions made it remarkably easy to advertise my desire to become delegate of the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
'''For those of us too lazy to find the relevant forum, what made you step down as delegate?'''<br />
I'm not certain I've ever outlined this before, except in AIM chat. When I was exiled I began to form a plan for what needed to happen in the North Pacific when order was restored. I am not a military-minded individual by any stretch of the imagination so I was more than happy to leave the Liberation to those who planned the strategies in that capacity.<br />
Once I'd achieved the elements of the "Restoration" that I'd planned while in exile, I didn't see any reason to continue as the delegate. In fact, allowing Sydia to take the position did more to indicate that democracy had been at least partially returned to the North Pacific than any further initiative I might have embarked on.<br />
<br />
'''How did the peace treaty with the PRP start? Did you, another TNP member, or the PRP suggest it? What was you’re initial reaction to this?'''<br />
This is a direct outgrowth of my regular AIM chats with all the NS players I can find who use that program. I was chatting with Unlimited almost immediately after he became the delegate of the Pacific. He seems to be a quite reasonable person and we decided the peace treaty was worth investigating further. If this pans out to mean a lasting and operative agreement, I'll be thrilled. If it does not, I may retire completely from diplomatic affairs. :)<br />
'''<br />
You seem to have taken a lesser role in TNP issues as of late. Is this because you are simply busy with RL issues?'''<br />
While RL is always a factor it is not preventing me from participating in the game of NS. You may notice I am one of the authors of the Critical Response Provisions Act. I'm quite eager to see this eventually ratified as the Constitution's second amendment.<br />
I maintain an almost daily conversation with the leaders of each Pacific region. And when everyone is online, I host Pacific Delegate meetings.<br />
I have not resigned from the UN nor moved out of TNP (except during the endorsement vigil of Magicality) and plan to stay (at the least) for the resolution of the PRP treaty.<br />
In short, I'm not out. I'm just less noisy.<br />
<br />
'''How do you feel The North Pacific will evolve with the changes within Nation States? Will we adapt and deal with the changes, or simply fall behind? If we are to change, what aspects of the TNP do you think will change?'''<br />
Unfortunately, I am not the arbiter of the evolution of the region and I probably should not seek to become so. I do see us and the entire game on the cusp of a new and broader identity. It will be interesting to see if and how this can be achieved.<br />
<br />
'''Ok, now for the not so serious stuff:<br />
What type of music do you listen to?'''<br />
World-Influenced Dark Eclectic (WIDE), being my own approach to the gothic scene.<br />
<br />
'''What other hobbies do you have?'''<br />
Art, maps, alternative history and science fiction, writing, comics (yes, still), and a broad spectrum of sociological research.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently that you would care to share?'''<br />
I'm planning a huge event in November (this year) that I'm quite proud of and hope goes well. It will be a large gothic party in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
'''I’m strangely drawn to shiny objects and weaponry. What are you drawn to?'''<br />
Oddness. Heresy. Conversation with the Intelligencia.<br />
<br />
'''How’s the weather in Philadelphia?'''<br />
Today: Bright and clear. Tomorrow: Chance of rain.<br />
<br />
'''Have you got a favourite food stuff?'''<br />
Sushi. Bloody Mary marinated steak and shrimp. Pizza.<br />
<br />
'''Anchovies! What’s your opinion?'''<br />
Very cool (though still a bit like running your tongue along a pier).<br />
<br />
'''Poe or Ananke?'''<br />
I have to choose? I chat much more frequently with Poe.<br />
<br />
'''Thel D'Ran, thank you very much.'''<br />

<br />
''Originally posted in The North Pacific News Central on 19/10/2004)''<br />
<br />
'''Who first introduced you to NationStates?'''<br />
Hrmmm…honestly, I have no idea who it was. I had been posting at a poetry forum for a couple months earlier this year (like, way earlier, we’re talking January) and one day it was really boring and no one was posting. So I went looking around, reading old threads and stumbled upon this post in the “recommended sites” section, about making your own country, and I thought I’d go check it out. I had done model UN in high school and stuff, and have always been fascinated with geography, so I made up some random nation title, and hung around the HQ and read stuff for the first few days. I wasn’t ever really interested in moving to another region. The lucky thing is, that I read that poetry site thread when I did, because only a couple weeks after I startes NS-ing, the poetry site shut down. I could still be floundering in cyberspace with nothing to do! The dire consequences of that idea scare me to death. :D<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with The North Pacific forums?'''<br />
Well, you know how it is…three days with nothing to do but hang around the HQ is bound to make any bored person decide to check out the forum link! I had gone to the NS forums, and they were just far too big and messy and full of obnoxious people. So I figured I’d start out a bit smaller and went to just TNP forum instead. Originally under the member name “Psychotic Head of Creepugnasia” until Sydia (whom I thought was a girl at the time) posted something in the Pet Peeves thread about people with really long member names, so I changed it to Poe. Because Poe was the fugitive ex-heiress of Creepugnasia. Her dad was the communist dictator, until it was over thrown. Her full name was actually Poem, but I shortened it to Poe because Poem is just far too cheesy and pansy to garner any respect. Poe will beat you up if you piss her off. Poem, she’ll whimper and bat her eyelashes, hoping someone will be nice to her. Somewhere early along the way, though, Poe stopped being an RP character, and now she’s just me. Someone who bats her eyelashes while beating you up. :D<br />
<br />
'''What made you leave The North Pacific for a while?'''<br />
Which time? :lol:<br />
<br />
'''What do you think about the recent discussions with the PRP?'''<br />
I think that discussions with the PRP are great. Those old NPO guys are actually really fun, and I rather enjoyed the time that I spent as a “spy” over there. It’s nice to have them around the NP forum. And I think that things will work out. However, if we do end up signing treaties with them, I’m wondering how we’ll work things out with the ADN, since that would be treason. Will we be kicked out of the ADN? Who knows? All I know is that Sir Paul’s tabloids are wildly entertaining.<br />
<br />
'''How’s Lemuria going?'''<br />
Lemuria is going swimmingly! Honestly the detail and work and background and effort that Thel has put into it amazes me. It’s going to go so far! I can feel it in my guts. If you haven’t gone to look around the forum, you really ought to. It’s awesome.<br />
<br />
'''Any thoughts on who would make a good next delegate?'''<br />
Personally, I would love to see Flemingovia as delegate of TNP. Or DD or Virtual Boy. There was a time when I wanted to be delegate…if only for a day, just because I thought it would be cool, but having been the delegate in Lemuria, I’m content in a lowly spammer role, where I can wield influence and subtle power with my wit and charm. Or as some would say, my “feminine wiles.” :lol:<br />
<br />
'''What is your favourite development in NationStates at the moment?'''<br />
Ya know, I really couldn’t tell you! *leans in and whispers* Can you keep a secret? I’m not really in it for the game these days…I’m here for all you awesome people, who I consider to be my friends. The OOC is the coolest place on the web. And the people in it are “da baermb,” as Coach Z would say.<br />
<br />
'''And now for the less serious stuff:'''<br />
Wait. There was serious stuff?!<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell the newbie’s a bit about yourself?'''<br />
I talk more than anyone should. But I try to be entertaining about it, and when it’s not entertaining, it’s at least quirky. And I hope they’re not scared of me…I try not to be scary, but sometimes my insanity just makes me come across that way. And I really REALLY hope they’re not intimidated, because I love getting to know people. They should probably know that I tend to be very sarcastic at times, and if I ever say anything that comes across as offensive, I really don’t mean it that way. Um, other than that, I’m a twenty-something who’s not sure what to do with herself. But I like to have fun and goof off, and I’d know what I want to be when I grow up if I were ever sure that I was going to grow up.<br />
<br />
'''Is there anything interesting that you've done recently?'''<br />
I recently quit school and work to “find myself” and to recover from some health problems that I’ve been having. Other then that, um…I recently re-opened a non-NS forum that my online friends (most of whom are NSers… actually, all of them are, I think…) and I hang out at. It’s a cool little place. I like it. You can come visit anytime you’d like! It’s found at: '''Dead link omitted''' (sorry for that blantant plug there… :lol: actually, no I’m not! ;) )<br />
<br />
'''What’s your favourite food stuff?'''<br />
Hummmm…that’s a hard one. I would have to say Chinese, ice cream, or DD. Oh wait. Food? Chinese food. More specifically lo mein, mongolian barbecue, jaudze (potstickers), and oh, anything. Mmm Chinese food! Dessert? Ice cream. All kinds. The best thing in the world is eating strawberry ice cream (with real strawberry chunks in it, of course) on a swing at three in the afternoon on a summer day. DD is for snacking between meals…Heh.<br />
<br />
'''How’s the weather with you?'''<br />
It’s raining and I am positively giddy! I adore rain. I go out and lie on my trampoline when it rains. I love the smell of rain, the sound of rain, the color of rain, the feel of rain…it’s delicious. Rain is my favorite kind of weather, so I’m in an awesome mood today.<br />
'''<br />
Music! What are your favourite band/artists at the moment?'''<br />
Currently, I am on a Jeff Buckley kick. I splurged at the recod store and bought a 5-cd compilation called “The Grace Eps.” It’s an obscure collection of some hard to find EPs of his that were released in Europe and stuff, very, very cool. I have a huge crush on Jeff Buckley, which is odd, I know, because he’s dead and all…but then, I have a huge crush on Bernini’s David statue…so it’s not like I’m weird. ;) Besides Jeff Buckley, I’ve been listening to lots of stuff from Casiotone For The Painfully Alone. A one-guy band type deal, he mixes all of his songs on keyboards, including a little casio one. And the lyrics are just great. They’re sad songs, mostly, but I love it, because I think everyone can relate to them. If you haven’t ever heard of him, check them out. I’m sure there’s a link in my “Song of The Day” thread in the OOC.<br />
<br />
'''What's your favourite film?'''<br />
My favorite film? Hrmmm…that’s so hard. I have so many favorite movies, although I haven’t seen many of the classics. I love the Lord of The Rings movies. I still cry watching Return of The King…and I’ve seen it about 20 times. The minute Sam starts carrying Frodo up the mountain, I pretty much bawl to the end credits. Other awesome movies,that I love are Waking Ned Devine, What About Bob?, The Spanish Prisoner, Shadowlands (a film about CS Lewis, starring Anthony Hopkins), and Muppet Treasure Island. There are so many, but those are the ones that I watch over and over. Oh, and a kind of obscure documentary/art type film called “Baraka.” Gorgeous cinematography.<br />
<br />
'''<br />
Alligators or Crocodiles?'''<br />
Nile Crocodiles. Those are the coolest nature documentaries. The National Geographic ones of the Nile Crocodiles, where you’ve got the stupid wildebeest who go up to the water, and they’re like “Oh! He’s not looking, hurry get a drink! I think he’s asleep!” And the gullible one sticks his head in the water, and then in the next three seconds, his head is gone and the crocodile’s there grinning with a leg hanging out of his mouth going, “Wha? Wasn’t me, I swear! Heh heh heh. I’ll get you my pretties…” They’re so badass. I’m scared to death of them.<br />
<br />
'''Do you know what laver bread is?'''<br />
I don’t…but if I were to venture a guess, I’m thinking it’s the kind of cakes that girls with speech impediments bake for the guys they have crushes on to impress them with their mad cooking skillz.<br />
<br />
'''Last question, the one that everyone is afraid to ask, but knows the answer to:<br />
<br />
VB or DD?'''<br />
*laughs* Awww…it’s so hard! I haven’t had the privelege of getting to know Veebs as well as I know DD, so it’s a rather biased opinion. I have to say DD. If I didn’t I’d be lying. I’m madly in love with the guy. He’s got animal magnetism oozing from every pore or something. He’s the only person that can regularly leaves me speechless. If he were a nile crocodile, the other wildebeast wouldn’t have to tell me to sneak a drink, I’d walk straight in without even flinching. Plus, he’s an Invader Zim fan, and puts up with my dorkiness. That’s a keeper, that is. I would try to impress him with my mad baking skillz, but it’s a hard thing to do virtually, you know. Not that I haven’t tried.<br />

===Pixiedance/Cathyy interview (Nov. 3, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pixiedance-cathyy-interview-t553.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
''(Originally posted in the North Pacific News Central on 20/10/2004, before Pixiedance became delegate.)''<br />
My next interview is with Cathyy, also known as Pixiedance.<br />
<br />
'''It seems that few people know much about you, despite beginning around here for a while, and I'll like to take this opportunity to shed some light on you, particularly as you have declared that you are running for delegate.'''<br />
Oooh that makes me sound rather mysterious :) Can I have some over-sized sun-glasses, maybe I could get used to that image.<br />
<br />
'''Firstly, how did you get introduced to NationStates?'''<br />
Another forum that I chat on/post on, someone mentioned something about going off to sort their nation out. I thought it sounded interesting so I went and had a look at their nation and it went from there really. The slightly annoying thing is that this wasn't a person I knew particularly well and for the life of me now I can't remember who they were/who their nation is!<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with the TNP forums?'''<br />
Well, when I first 'landed' in NS I was pretty clueless about how it worked. (Guess we all had to be sometime!) So, for a while I didn't do very much other than look at my issues and watch how they affected my nation. Then I began to get telegrams - from people like Thel, welcoming me to the region. And then I began to read the forum as I'd been given the link.<br />
<br />
'''Which TNP member/s do you most respect?'''<br />
Well, I think it's hard to single out one or even a group. Thel was the first person who I spoke to via chat and we got to know each other pretty well. Thel's energy astounds me - look at all the stuff he produces for the region. I think he made a great Delegate and acted as a hugely important focal point during the GB affair.<br />
Wilks I sort of think of as a wise elder statesman (he'll kill me for that I bet!!) And I think the same of quite a lot of others. The ones I’m thinking of definitely include also Ananke...the names and legends we all know.<br />
Poe, Virtual Boy - also legends :)<br />
Magicality is probably the person I have most regrets that I didn't get a chance to speak with as she was already ill by the time I got here.<br />
<br />
'''What made you decide to run for delegate, and in what ways will you change the North Pacific?'''<br />
Well, I’ve thought about it off and on for a while and I’ve been collecting endorsements for a long time. i suppose you get to a point where you think. OK, well all these people are endorsing me....so maybe I'd like to take it that one step further. I also believe that I could do a good job at it, because I'm the sort of person who would rather not do something at all if I can't do it well.<br />
I would like to improve the way information works and flows through the region. I'd like to see better links between here and the Regional HQ. I'd also like to see better co-ordination and accountability between the ministries. And I'd like to see wider participation in the forum, which I see as crucial.<br />
<br />
'''What is your opinion on the talks between the PPR/TNP? How do you think the Ukraine incident will effect this, and what is your overall view of the incident?'''<br />
This would be a very complicated answer and one which I would need to research more so I'm going to skip it for here but if anyone wants to pose it in my candidacy thread I'll deal with it there, when I have a little more time than right now.<br />
<br />
'''You were very active during the UPS Rail/Great Bight incident. What is your opinion on this, and how do you think it has effected the whole of the North Pacific?'''<br />
I think it was a horrible time for the whole region. However, positive things often can come out of bad things. I think allies and friendships were strengthened during that time. Not only that, we showed that we could work together and eventually triumph over the wrong-doing of GB.<br />
I think it has made people a lot more wary. That's a double-edged sword really. I think democracy is worth protecting and so a certain wariness is right. But we do need to find a balance between that and ostracising people. But i think it's human nature that when you've been attacked you become more vigilant. Again, I don't see that as a bad thing.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think the future holds for NationStates and the North Pacific?'''<br />
Well, I'm sure a pay-to-play version will have a huge impact on NationStates. But NationStates and the region are the sum of all of their parts, i.e. members/players. So, in that sense it's almost impossible to predict. I'd like to think that the future would involve co-operation between nations and regions and that, in particular, we continue to develop as a community for the region. But that relies firstly on the information flows that i referred to earlier. I see those as key.<br />
People need to see the links between what are essentially two separate parts of the whole - NS and the wider community of both this region and the whole game.<br />
<br />
'''Less serious stuff coming up:<br />
What do you do in RL?'''<br />
I work in the health service in communication and management.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently?'''<br />
Doing soon. I'm going to Paris for the first time. So i'm really looking forward to that. :)<br />
<br />
'''What are you having for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack of choice?'''<br />
In an ideal world....calorie-free chocolate for all of them!<br />
<br />
'''Any particular type of music, or band/artist you've listened to recently?'''<br />
I love anything from the 80s really. And I'm old enough to remember that stuff first time round - so I expect partly it's nostalgia or wishing I was 10 years younger!<br />
<br />
'''Name a random movie!'''<br />
A Fish Called Wanda<br />
<br />
'''What’s best for a fondue: chocolate or cheese?'''<br />
Chocolate!!!<br />
<br />
'''Right, I've run out of things to say.Thank you for the interview!'''<br />
Many thanks for asking me :)<br />
<br />
===Sir Paul Interview (Nov. 3, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sir-paul-interview-t554.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
'''My next is interview is with Sir Paul, PRP senator.<br />
How were you introduced to NationStates?'''<br />
I was reading an article of Newsweek and noticed that they mentioned a free online political simulation game. Yes, I’m that much of a nerd. I started in July of last year, was born in the Pacific, and the rest is history.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved in the Pacific forums (NPO and PRP), and subsequently, how did you get involved with the North Pacific forums?'''<br />
I didn’t pay much attention to goings on outside of my nation until the Francos Spain situation, where I found myself in the Rejected Realms. I decided that I wanted to live in the Pacific, and decided that I would work inside the system to affect change. Thus, I swore my allegiance to Franco if he would let me return. I did some work for the republic, was elevated to Senator, and have been enacting reforms from the inside ever since.<br />
<br />
'''What is your opinion of Francos Spain?'''<br />
Franco was a visionary in that he created a stable government with the ideals of Peace, Strength, and Prosperity. He and the senate created a system of government with delegation of authority, responsiveness to the people, and a good amount of security. His leaving the game has left a shadow and an emptiness in the Pacific that can never truly be filled.<br />
<br />
'''How did you start the Tabloid Tribune?'''<br />
I didn’t start the Tabloid Tribune, Bertram Strantous did. He started the tabloid thread, and I took over as he became less active. I’ve since created the Pacific News Network, with the Pacific Press (legitimate, somewhat funny, news) and the Tabloid Tribune (funny, nonsensical, fake news).<br />
<br />
'''Could you explain a bit about the organization of the Pacific into provinces?'''<br />
As the Pacific became more active, we created the governorships to ensure a responsive government, such as telegramming people about upcoming events, getting people active, and rallying the populace during invasion.<br />
Since, we’ve re-organized into 6 provinces of about the same size, and the elected governors create whatever kind of micro-government they so choose. The main duties of the provinces are to keep the government close to the people and ensure activity. Each province is run differently, so I’ll defer your readers to the ministry of interior for more information regarding each province.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think about the current PRP/TNP talks?'''<br />
<br />
I think that this is a real chance for a lasting peace in the Pacific. Unfortunately, certain multi-regional organizations who wish to demonize the PRP will try and throw a monkey-wrench in the process, but hopefully, cooler heads can prevail.<br />
<br />
'''Could you sum up your own personal views on the Ukraine incident?'''<br />
*Warning: Propagandist rhetoric to follow*<br />
From what I understand, the founder of Ukraine (Francos Spain) quite a while ago, declared that the Ukraine was part of the USSR, much like North and South Korea. After the Soviet revolution, RedCommunist began a policy of region-building. Upon moving into the Ukraine, GLA and TITO moved in and greifed the region, ejecting 20% of the natives. In order to ensure that invaders or the ADN did not take the delegacy, the USSR invoked the Union of Sovereigns Alliance, and thus, the PRP was obligated to protect and defend USSR territory.<br />
I asked RedCommunist if bringing in the PRP into the Ukraine was a good idea, as I was sure certain propaganda ministers would use the situation to take the Ukraine from the USSR. He assured me that the ADN had no designs for it, and his chief concern was from invaders. Unfortunately, my fears proved true, and the alphabet soup organizations moved on Ukraine, invading Union of Sovereign soil. So, this thing then got turned into a “PRP expansionist operation” when it was us coming to the aid of a beleaguered ally who helped defend us against so many attacks in the past.<br />
So, I now call upon the ADN/GLA/TITO/NPA or whoever the heck is occupying Ukraine to ask the natives WHAT THEY WANT. That’s my biggest beef with “defenders.” Defenders no longer wait for a native call for help, and they no longer endorse native delegates. That’s not defending the native delegacy, that’s invading and occupying. Once all this is sorted out, hopefully they will leave and the natives can once again begin the process of region building with the help of the USSR.<br />
*End propagandist rhetoric*<br />
<br />
'''Could you sum up your own personal views on the UPS Rail/Great Bight incident?'''<br />
Well, I got to meet UPS Rail (Rich) and he seems like a nice enough guy. A guy with an interesting plan of action. He felt that TNP was suffering from an “old boys club” mentality and he felt that Nationstates was dying from inactivity. He called us up, asking for senator-status if he allied with us. He was then planning on using the international outrage as a rallying point to eventually invade the Pacific, using our secrets and intel from our boards against us. We never took him up on the offer, and he resigned in shame. He told me he wanted an outsider, Collostium, to take over, but make one critical mistake…<br />
The Great Blight thing. God, I hated that annoying pirate banter, but he provided the NPO an interesting opportunity. In exchange for support from the evil empire, we could squelch the NPA threat. At that time, we felt that TNP was the biggest obstacle to peace in the Pacific, and thus, if we supported the pirate government, we knew the ADN would first liberate you guys before they would attack us. In essence, ALSO would become a buffer for the NPO.<br />
Confidentially, (this is just between me and TNP readers), I was appalled by the actions of the government, and secretly I was glad that the government fell. The people of TNP deserved much better. Not even Poskrebychev was that bad.<br />
<br />
'''What, in your opinion, is in store for NationStates, and the Pacific, in the future?'''<br />
Nationstates will slowly die out and lose nations, but the ones that remain will stay active. I see new alliances forming, and I see the possibility of peace in the Pacific. Whether it’s through armed occupation or diplomacy is up to you ;-).<br />
<br />
'''Now, as is my custom, now into the less serious stuff:<br />
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?'''<br />
Sure. I’m a graduate student at UCLA in urban planning. I’m from Bakersfield, and am adjusting to LA slowly but sharply. See, I don’t much like Bush, on account that he’s too liberal, but by the time I leave I’m sure I’ll be a pot-toking communist hippie.<br />
<br />
'''Have you got any hobbies in that fabled land of 'Real Life'?'''<br />
I’m a nikyu (brown belt) in judo, and I enjoy writing, hiking, cooking, and eating.<br />
<br />
'''What are you reading at the moment?'''<br />
Cadillac Desert.<br />
<br />
'''Which bands/artists are you listening to?'''<br />
I’ve got eclectic taste in music, listening to Pachabell, 5 for fighting, Papa Roach, R. Kelley, etc.<br />
<br />
'''Whereabouts are you, and how’s the weather?'''<br />
I’m in beautiful Westwood (west LA) and it is raining.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think killed the dinosaurs: a complex series of events that they were ill-equipped to adapt to, and therefore died out according to the theory of natural selection; or a big lump of rock from outer space?'''<br />
Ah, I’m glad you asked, because I have an extensive background in Geology. The dinosaurs died out at the end of Cretaceous epoch about 65 million years ago at the K/T boundary. To creationist, the dinos either bit the dust because the great flood killed them, or their bones were put there by Satan to confuse us into not accepting Christ and the Old Testament. I personally believe that God wouldn’t confuse us in this manner, so I accept that a climate change caused by the Yucatan meteor caused the mass extinction, as ordained by God.<br />
<br />
'''Which films are you planning on seeing?'''<br />
I’m planning on seeing Shrek II, I hear that’s great.<br />
<br />
'''Any particular foods you like?'''<br />
Everything except Korean. I just can’t wrap my head around Kim Chi, but if I had to pick one genre, I’d go with Basque. There’s just something about pickled cow-tongue and ox-tail stew.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently?'''<br />
I hosted my first kegger at my new flat (apartment). Kids, don’t drink unless you are 21, in the military, or have a fully developed liver.<br />
<br />
'''Poe or LadyRebels?'''<br />
Sorry Poe, but it’s LadyRebels. She’s in the Superfriends AND Legion of Doom.<br />
<br />
'''Sir Paul, Thank you.'''<br />

===Governors Officially Take Office on 1 November (Nov. 6, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/governors-officially-take-office-t576.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''Governor The New Duce of Province H-L argues before the AoG about the size of the new militia''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, Franco City, The Pacific.'' On 1 November 2004, four governors officially took office: '''Andropov''' of Province non-letters-C; '''[[Mussolandia in NationStates|The New Duce]]''' of Province H-L; '''MistStlkr''' of Province M-P; and '''Sedarva''' of Province Q-S. All four are said to be in great spirits and have been working diligently to create their governments.<br />
<br />
With the full complement of governors now in office, the governors have officially created the Assembly of Governors (AoG) which is a lower house of the PRP government. This AoG has the ability to vote on legislation passed down from the Senate, and it can create its own legislation to hand to the Senate. This is a great victory for democracy since this lower house will be able to participate in the policy making process for the People of the Pacific region. "It's a momentous time in the Pacific," stated Senator of Internal Affairs Warrior Thorin. "The people can now go to their provincial governors and as for legislation to be passed up to the Senate. Why is this important? Because the people are now given a voice to dictate policy for this region. This is the manifestation of democracy, and you can look forward to more changes to come as the AoG takes on more issues."<br />
<br />
The AoG has already been involved in the development of policy. The AoG was presented with a suggestion from the Senate to create a militia for the purpose of defense for the region. "What ensued was a very creative process," stated Delegate Unlimited. "They took control right away of the militia to make sure that there would be no unauthorized use of it. I was very impressed with their policy making capability. The People should know that they worked very hard to protect the People's interests!"<br />
<br />
Democracy is being formed, despite what some of the naysayers posit. The people now have the direct capability to create legislation, something that was not provided for in the days of the NPO. "I am greatly honored to work with the People," stated Governor Andropov, "and it is equally a pleasure to work with the other governors. We might have disagreements occasionally, but we are protecting the best interests of our provinces."<br />
<br />
===Meritocratic Elections: Democracy in Action (Nov. 12, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/meritocratic-elections-t609.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Alan Keyes saying that Jesus would not vote for Eli''<br />
<br />
Senate Chambers, The New Meritocracy: It’s that timepart again when the Meritocracy elects a new Consul. The consul’s position entails selecting a cabinet, enforcing the laws, and is the embodiment of the senate. The current election is a pivotal one for the region, with the heart and soul up for grabs. The candidates are the fine, upstanding senators Eli and Cortath.<br />
<br />
Eli comes from the mean streets of North America and is running on a platform of outreach and recruitment. The Meritocracy has been declining in membership, and is becoming more withdrawn from the world, especially with the termination of the ADMA treaty. He is advocating for an active diplomatic corps, and hopes that the senate will not stick to neutrality, but enter into the world stage.<br />
<br />
Eli wrote:<br />
I supported the ADMA treaty during its time. It has now been rejected by the Senate, if I am elected Consul I will not attempt to change the Senate's will in this matter. The ALL is a treaty joined by this organization over a year ago and I support its continuance. I will be friendly to the ADN as I will to the rest of the NS world. My goal is to be very active diplomatically and to spread the good name of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
Cortath, on the other hand, hails from the ADN (as a representative), and as a complete 180 from Eli, believes that the Met hangs on to neutrality way to much. He gave a stirring speech on the senate floor.<br />
<br />
Cortath wrote:<br />
The word on everyone's lips is "neutrality". But what is neutrality? Is neutrality when one is given two choices, you must choose neither? Go down the middle road? To paraphrase Yogi, when you come to a fork in the road, do you take it (that's a joke, for those of you not familiar with the famous Yankees catcher)? I do not believe neutrality is always forcing yourself to take a middle road, or to not take a road at all. That's not neutrality in my eyes. Neutrality is keeping your options open, so that you have as many roads open as possible. Granted, sometimes we will go down that middle road, or go down no road at all, but the Meritocracy, in order to keep those roads open, in order for our light to always be a welcoming beacon, must take positions on those issues that are right and just. As the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., said, "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict. " I believe that the crisis in The North Pacific was a great low point in the history of the Meritocracy. Regardless of one's position, hestitating for even a moment to fulfill one's mandatory treaty obligations, is frankly, a shame. And why did we hestitate? Neutrality.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cortath, confused on the meaning of the words Neutrality and is<br />
<br />
To help the senator out, we would like to present him with what neutrality really is…<br />
<br />
\Neu*tral"i*ty\, n. [Cf. F. neutralit['e].] – The state or quality of being neutral; the condition of being unengaged in contests between others; state of taking no part on either side, especially nonparticipation in war ; indifference.<br />
<br />
So, with one senator advocating the end of neutrality, and another advocating a new interpretation of it, the citizens of the Meritocracy have a difficult choice this election.<br />
-------<br />
UPDATE: Eli beats Cortath - wins 28 (70%) to 12 (30%).<br />

===Sarda Elected as the First President of The Assembly of Governors (Nov. 16, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sarda-voted-as-first-president-of-the-aog-t649.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' Sarda, Governor of Tantus Pacificus, was elected as the first President of the Assembly of Governors (AoG). "I'm relieved this election is over. It was pretty close," sighed Sarda who awaited for the final votes to be tallied early this morning.<br />
<br />
For those who don't know, the President of the AoG, "...has the responsibility to mediate the discussion of any new legislation. The president also shall declare when the discussion has come to a close and the matter is ready for a vote. In the event that the result of the AoG vote is a tie, the President will cast the deciding vote." [taken from the Legislation Procedures of the AoG posted in the People's Palace]. Sarda begins a 30 day term essentially leading legislation discussions and votes.<br />
<br />
In this first election, the Senator of Internal Affairs did not have to cast a vote. Sarda issued the following statement: "...it's truly an honor to be elected as the first President of the first democratically elected legislature in the Pacific. I hope to serve up to the standards of excellence Francos set for us all when he built up our first Senate."<br />

===The Status of the Pacific: The Rise of the Republic (Nov. 21, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-status-of-the-pacific-t715.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''This article was originally submitted to the NSN on 21 November 2004''<br />
<br />
''Thorinopolis, Warrior Thorin.'' The recent events of the rise of an underground movement has led me to consider that the time is appropriate for the readers of this great news service to hear our side of the what is happening in The Pacific. I am not writing this to dispatch the good people of the Underground Movement; instead I wish to simply explain what it is that we are working very hard at in The Pacific.<br />
<br />
On 1 September 2004, the Republic was announced, supplanting the New Pacific Order (NPO) as the formal government of The Pacific. There were some immediate changes to this new government, of which I have been surprised that few people have noticed. Unlimited replaced Poskrebyshev as the delegate of the Pacific, and two new Senators were added (Pierconium and myself; BlackAdder was added in the final days of the NPO). This changed the old "hardline" stance that was prevalent in the old Senate. Gone are now the great revolutionaries Francos Spain, InfernoIce, Bertram Strantrous, and Poskrebyshev. Now the Senate is comprised of Mammothistan (the last of the original NPO Senators), and a crew of Senators and a Delegate who at one time were in opposition to the NPO.<br />
<br />
The dynamic of this group is important for the growth of the Revolution, but you cannot understand this group's beliefs without first examining the history of the Revolution. In August of 2003, Francos Spain removed Theodoc as the delegate of The Pacific, thereby eliminating what we perceived was a very corrupt government. From that moment on, forces emerged to try and force Francos Spain from power, many of whom were not of Pacific origin (including Myrdinn, my original nation who descended from the South Pacific and joined the RRA). The North Pacific declared war on The Pacific, as did the organization that became The ADN. The West Pacific and the South Pacific also made attacks on The Pacific. We lived in a time in which martial law had to be installed to protect the region from foreign aggression, thereby preserving its sovereignty.<br />
<br />
People have asked me if they were once in opposition to the NPO could they ever be permitted back? The answer is definitely yes. I was once fervently against the NPO, creating countless number of puppets to try and infiltrate it. Sir Paul was banned speaking out against Francos Spain. And yet, when you really examine the history of the war, it becomes clear why we all joined the Revolution. The Pacific's sovereignty was in jeopardy. What I see happened in the Revolution was that the people spoke and chose Francos Spain over Theodoc, but Theodoc and his crew were unhappy about losing their grasp on the Pacific and were willing to sacrifice the region's sovereignty for the sole purpose to regain power of the region. The NPO was committed to preserving the sovereignty of the region. It was unfortunate that it had to declare martial law to do it.<br />
<br />
Yet, Pax Pacifica did eventually happen. There was a brief time early this year in which the attacks seemed to level off. Yet, the threats were always there. Several operations would be launched against the Pacific by foreign aggressors and The Pacific would respond to protect the region. When a delegate arose in The North Pacific, the Pacific decided to support him and his initial successor for the protection of our sovereignty. However, my opinion is that we erred in this endeavor as we forgot that we were challenging the sovereignty of another region; however I shall point out that this is my own opinion on the matter.<br />
<br />
When Francos Spain left the game due to a real life tragedy, Poskrebyshev would also leave and thus came the rise of the Republic. It was amorphous in many ways when we first launched the newer government, but it is now taking form. When the forum was created, we had developed The People's Palace with the intent that this would be the place that the creation of the Republic would take place. It would be here that the people would develop the schema by which the Republic will take form. It is happening now.<br />
<br />
The first obvious change was in regard to the governorship of the six provinces. In Francos Spain's original template, each lettered provinced was to have its own unique governor (I was once the Governor of Province Y). However, we realized that we could collapse the provinces and make six very unique provinces; each could be basically a region within the region. The People elect the governors in free elections. I can't say that there weren't any problems in the initial elections, but we are new at this, and it was apparent that the people made their choices. The closest election concerned Andropov's whose election had to be re-run over a lack of clarity in the election process. I firmly believe that we did the right thing, and we learned valuable lessons about the election process.<br />
<br />
We now have an important high house, the Assembly of Governors. The AoG is charged with voting on all domestic legislation that is passed down from the Senate, and the AoG can develop its own legislation as well. It is currently discussing the parameters and the possibility of creating a People's Congress for the inclusion of all interested citizens of The Pacific to create and discuss domestic legislation.<br />
<br />
The AoG is an important step in the reformation of the old government to the Republic. The people chose their representatives to create rules and legislation that impact the region. In the old NPO, the government was actually more paternalistic in that they made their decisions the way they saw fit without much consultation with the populace. Today, the people are given their voice. However, when the Congress has taken shape, each individual voice will be furthered empowered to address all concerns.<br />
<br />
The Republic, then, is quite a bit different than the other so-called democratic institutions that exist throughout NS. In a democracy, leaders have been chosen by popular vote; the person who is liked the most for whatever reason is elected. That leader also has a dilemma: if he/she upsets any group of people, he/she could have his/her leadership challenged and may not be able to stay in power. In fact, you can see where instability has often occurred in these kinds of regions if you look carefully. The Republic ensures stability by chosing the right person for the job. It will carefully cultivate the citizens so that they any may rise with the right ideals to ascend to leadership positions, not based on popularity but based on worthiness. Does this mean that elections for the delegate position will never happen? Absolutely not. It means that the citizens will be more responsible in how they choose their leaders. Each person, we hope, will understand that the preservation of The Pacific sovereignty lies in the strength of the Republic. It is our opinion that the Republic will have better citizens in the future because each person will be involved in the decision of the region, and that participation will ensure a great deal of investment to the Republic.<br />
<br />
A lot has been made concerning whether Senators should be elected. I have thought about this a great deal having a mixed, if not ambivalent, opinion on the matter. However, it is clear that the Senate is comprised of some special individuals who are there for the same ideals of the People. Yet, what is different is that they ascended to their position based on the principle of merit. The Senate has always chosen their own, and I submit that they will continue to do so for some time. Is this nefarious? Is this some conspiracy scheme? No. After all, how is it that one becomes a Senator in the Meritocracy? Many apply, few are chosen, and all based on the assumption that you cannot attain a Senate position without proving merit. In a true Republic in which all of the citizens will become vested in the growth of The Pacific, I assume that our Senate will expand due to the merits of many of our citizens. Yet, the Senate should remain a special place; a place to aspire if one is truly interested in the civics of the region. Currently, the Senate handles all foreign policies and also maintains the security of the region. We run into many complications if we merely open it up for an elected person; eventually those who would oppose us (be it the ADN or invading organizations) would infiltrate the Senate and we would have the task of fighting them with our flanks exposed.<br />
<br />
Much has also been made of our development of the People's Militia, of which I have been surprised. There is a distinct difference between a militia and an army, and I wish to point this out because many people seem to confuse the two. An army is a formal organization; a militia is not. Our militia is being developed by the governors of the provinces, thereby they will be trained and maintained by the People. All citizens can participate as much as they like. The militia is created for the purpose of defense for our region, not for the purpose of becoming an invading or "defending" organization. We are indeed a part of the Union of Soveriegns, and we need to be able to help protect our allies if they are attacked, just as they are willing to assist us if we are attacked. Yet, we have no formal army and The Pacific will never have a standing army. The militia is a defensive organization setup to be governed by the People.<br />
<br />
If you look carefully, you should note some vast improvements on the Republic in the short time that it has existed. There is discussion about further improvements, all of which we hope will create better citizens for the region and perhaps for all of NationStates. If one looks carefully at each of the feeder regions, you will noticed that each one has developed a different form of government. We do not criticize those other formations or ideologies, but we do criticize the attacks that people make upon us for creating our Republic. In the end, we argue that regional soverignty has played a vital part of our developing ideology, and that we have come to the conclusion that the development of a republic is a fair and equitable way for all citizens to participate in their civic duties should be seen as a great thing rather than being continually attacked. For those who are not a part of The Pacific, I ask that you remain distant from our soveriegn region unless you intend to extend either a sign of friendship or at least an observant curiousity. For those who are a part of the Pacific, I say come help us build your government. There are many people who tire of the concerns of subversion and terrorism; we extend a warm greeting to those who would rather build than to destroy.<br />
<br />
As I have stated before, The Republic is not the Senate; it is The People of The Pacific. It is the average citizen who is looking for his or her niche. If you reside in the Pacific, then The Republic is you.<br />

===Three Governor Provinces are Opening for Upcoming Elections (Nov. 26, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/offices-open-for-election-t776.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''Governor Sarda of Tantus Pacificus During his Acceptance Speech in September''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' The Senator of Internal Affairs has released the following press statement concerning the expiration of terms for two of the governors, and a third office opening due to the inactivity of Andropov.<br />
<br />
Province Francos Spain Memorial (D-G) and Province Tantus Pacificus (T-Z) are due to have elections in the coming weeks as these two provinces' governors' terms are expiring on 1 January. Candidates, to include the current governors, are to fill out their applications and post them in the Ministry of the Interior by Sunday, December 12th, 2004. Elections will run 13 December - 19 December.<br />
<br />
Province Croyance (Non-Letters-C) will also be on the ballot due to Andropov's abandonment. Again, all candidates who wish to run for this province are encouraged to apply by December 12th, 2004.<br />
<br />
The following criteria must be met by any potential candidates for the position of governor:<br />
<br />
First, check to make sure you meet the minimum requirements:<br />
<br />
1) Your Nation must be in the UN (Note: In some circumstances, this requirement may be waived by approval of the Delegate of the Republic. If it is waived, the Governor must ensure that the Vice-Governor is a UN Nation)<br />
<br />
2) Your Nation must reside in The Pacific<br />
<br />
3) Your Nation must have a population of at least 100 million<br />
<br />
4) You must have made at least 10 posts in the forum<br />
<br />
5) You must complete the application process and answer questions in satisfactory matter. Questions may be posed by anyone, but especially by the Senators<br />
<br />
6) You must be elected by the People on a poll that will be set up once the questioning period is completed. Polls will run for one week.<br />
<br />
7) Upon being selected as a Governor, you must swear an oath:<br />
"I, [state your name], as a servant of the People's Republic of The Pacific and resident of the Pacific, do swear by my faith, honor, and blood to fulfill the capacity of Provincial Governor to the best of my ability, to defend the Judicial Code of the Pacific, and to carry out those actions in the best interest of the Region, as set forth by our benevolent UN Delegate, Unlimited and the PRP Senate."<br />
<br />
A successful election will grant the governor access to the Assembly of Governors upon assuming office on 1 January 2005.<br />
<br />
Any questions concerning the election process or whether one is eligible to be a candidate may be directed to Warrior Thorin either by PM or t-gram.<br />
<br />
===Elections Begin Monday, December 13th! (Dec. 12, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/election-time-is-upon-us-t904.html</ref>===<br />

'''A Pacific citizen exercises his right to vote''<br />
<br />
''Thorinopolis, Warrior Thorin.'' Elections for three of the Republic's provinces will begin on Monday, December 12th and run until Sunday, December 19th. Province Francos Spain Memorial Province (D-G) has Governor Desetland pitted against Doppleganger, while Province Croyance (Non-letters-C) has Daedalus running opposed, as is the same with Province Tantus Pacificus with Governor Sarda running for re-election.<br />
<br />
The polls will open early Monday morning, and voters will notice that the procedures are going to be radically different from the previous elections. After conferring with the AoG, The Senate, and other foreign dignitaries, the Republic has reformed the election process for the purpose of insuring that the People's voices are heard in the election process. Voters will be asked to PM their responses and their responses will be cross-checked by a committee comprised of two citizens, one Senator, and one foreign dignitary (The Wachovia Coalition of The East Pacific). All votes that are suspicious will be scrutinized to maintain veracity. The committee will be responsible for certifying the election results.<br />
<br />
For this election, early results will not be posted. It is the belief that early results could sway fence-sitters, thus the results will be made public once the final tallies are made and the results have been verified by the committee.<br />
<br />
The polls will once again be found in the Ministry of the Interior and we hope all citizens will participate in this, the most important of all civic duties: the act of choosing your leaders!<br />

===Nak Nak Deleted! (Jan. 2, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/nak-nak-deleted-t1023.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''Nak Nak kissing the rope he was hanged with moments later''<br />
<br />
Hall of Injustice, Mod Centre: A few days ago, Nak Nak, the “Tom Bombadil” of the Pacific was dragged from his home and hung five minutes after wishing everyone a happy new years. The charge brought against Nak Nak was for sending a hurtful telegram to foreign recruiter Franken. The message that resulted in the death penalty is printed below, and may offend readers with thin skin. Reader discretion advised:<br />
<br />
Nak Nak wrote:<br />
Nak nak<br />
Received: Five Days Ago<br />
Piss off<br />
<br />
Obviously, Nak Nak crossed the line and the punishment was just and swift. Franken, former head of the successful Nationstates Broadcasting Corporation, was using the alias Palmer's Dominion and justified reporting the incident to the mods.<br />
<br />
Franken wrote:<br />
I was trying to recruit and his spam messages kept bumping them off. It was frustrating to say the least not to mention against the rules. I asked him about it and he said "piss off". I did indeed report that to the mods.<br />
<br />
The message that Franken sent was respectful in tone and not deceitful at all:<br />
<br />
Palmer's Dominion wrote:<br />
I thought only founders could clear regional boards. You seem to be spamming quite a bit, I think thats against the rules. Im a new nation and even I knew that- for such a big nation I would think you would know that<br />
<br />
Obviously, the creator of NBC is a new nation and an older nation such as Nak Nak should be familiar with a new rule. While some consider Nak Nak a de-facto founder (consistently being #1 in the Pacific UN reports), this should not exclude Nak Nak from posting messages in the most heavily spammed region in the game. Since the deletion, Franken has promised not to recruit in the Pacific, and testified on Nak Nak’s behalf that the punishment was too harsh.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for the forces of good, the mod who was looking to poach a high profile PRP member was overturned by Cogitation, and Nak Nak is once again allowed to roam the Pacific free. All hail Nak Nak!<br />

''Unlimited, on the left, shares a joke with Governor Sarda after swearing in the new governors''<br />
<br />
'''The People's Palace, The Pacific.''' The Pacific has rung in a new year and with that comes two new governors and two new administrative laws.<br />
<br />
After a very successful campaign in December, Sarda was re-elected as governor for the Tantus Pacificus Province, unopposed once again. Having also recently completing the first term as President of the AoG, Sarda was much more relaxed after the election. "It's always nice to know that the citizens of Tantus Pacificus have faith in my leadership. I hope to continue to serve them well during this next term."<br />
<br />
Doppelganger supplanted Desetland in a surprise victory in The Francos Memorial Province. "I really won?" Doppelganger stated on the night of the election results. Desetland was very excited at the prospect of new blood in the AoG, even if he cannot participate. Still, Desetland was the architecht of an important piece of legislation that will be explained shortly.<br />
<br />
Daedalus was also elected as a governor, taking over the controversial Croyance Province. In his first official act, he has called for the province to be renamed The Abysserian Guard Province as a tribute to one of the earlier Centurions of the old NPO, Abysseria.<br />
<br />
Two pieces of legislation were also brought into law as the new year began. The first regards the election procedures of the President of the AoG, since there was some confusion as to when the elections are made. The second piece of legislation concerns the activity of the governors, mandating procedures to remove inactive governors from their office before elections. Both pieces of legislature were designed to streamline procedures to make the Pacific a more active region.<br />

===Governor Elections and New Public Office: High Judge Now a Public Office (Jan. 28, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/election-results-and-a-new-office-t1192.html</ref>===<br />

''Kalikratis Prepares for His Appointed Duties as Interim High Judge of the Pacific''<br />
<br />
The People's Palace, Francos Spain Hall, The Pacific. Elections for the three provinces have been conducted this month, and The New Duce (Honorem et Libertas Province), Quy (Quotidie Maiestas Province) and Desetland (Pax Pacifica Province) were voted in as governors. This shall be The New Duce's second term. Desetland shall have the distinction of being the first governor to serve in two different provinces. Desetland, a late comer in announcing his candidacy, stated, "It will be interesting to get to know the great people of Pax Pacifica. It will also be interesting to move into a new office and I hope some of the good citizens will help me because I hurt my back when I moved out the last time!"<br />
<br />
In other governmental news, the Senate and the Assemby of Governors (AoG) announced a major reform in the judicial system of The Republic. The High Judge, once a position held by a senator, is now to be a public office. Commenting on the new legislation, BlackAdder noted, "We view it as a further Reform, we're handing the responsibility of Justice to the People. A rather Powerful responsibility given the history we've endured here."<br />
<br />
Kalikratis has been appointed by Unlimited as the interim High Judge. He is expected to be the first citizen to undergo the process to become the actual High Judge. This process entails a Senate confirmation hearing, followed by an AoG confirmation hearing. Finally, the candidate must be voted by the people in a public referendum. The process is demanding, and the qualities expected of the High Judge of the Pacific are expected to be high. The High Judge cannot hold any other office nor participate in the militia. The High Judge is also expected to hold a non-voting seat in the AoG.<br />

<br />
Kitimat, The Meritocracy: This year’s annual Kitimat Pact military exercises may be more than just a show of unity between these ten nations. There are scattered reports across the region with regards to large military maneuvers not in the deployment zones. We also have several unconfirmed, and let me stress that, unconfirmed reports that massive mobilization of the civilian populations are underway.<br />
<br />
On this is a day of tragedy, as we have witnessed the massacre in Eureka and the silencing of our Kitimat bureau in Edmonton. War is possibly at the doorstep of the Meritocracy and with these attempts to silence the media, getting information out of this region of the world has been difficult…<br />
<br />
*holds hand to ear*<br />
<br />
This just in… The Pacific News Network is receiving exclusive footage of the Kitimat Pact maneuvers from a research vessel just outside the official deployment zone. We now go live to David Holmby aboard the New Deal. David?<br />
<br />
“I’m here in Kitimat sea, renowned for its humpback whales, and now, renowned for creatures much more deadly. Here off the port deck is a cruiser from the Empire of Eureka. As you can see, this<br />
<br />

<br />
*Loudspeakers from the Cruiser come on*<br />
<br />
<<Attention Derelict Vessel. You are broadcasting in violation of the Kitimat Pact Media Gag. You will cease your broadcast and prepared to be boarded.>><br />
<br />
The joke is on them. According to our GPS, we are in international waters, meaning that all activities we do are perfectly legal.<br />
<br />
Oh shit… We’ve drifted.<br />
<br />
<<This is your final warning. Terminate your broadcast or we will terminate it for you>><br />
<br />
Ok, I’ll turn around and get us back into international waters.<br />
<br />
John speaks up David, they’re pointing their guns at us. I’m cutting the feed.<br />
<br />
Just a little bit furth…<br />

John? John? We seem to have lost the feed. Chilling images from within the Kitimat deployment zone. PNN will stay with this story until its resolution.<br />

''Above: Troops from the Ducean Empire march through the African Savannah once more''<br />
<br />
Warzone Africa, NationStates: In a massive demonstration of force, the People’s Militia has taken Warzone Africa from the hands of the Rejected Realms army. The group was headed by Governor The New Duce, from Honorem et Libertas Militia. Volunteers from this province formed the main contingent, which was strengthened by some Abysserian Guardsmen and Hellenic Liberators.<br />
<br />
''Above: Allied forces approaching the target''<br />
<br />
Yet much must be said about the diplomatic skills of our Pacifican soldiers. They are gentlemen as well as fighters. They managed to strike a deal with The Young World, which allowed them to secure the delegacy. More will come from this mighty union.<br />
<br />
The People’s Militia had no intention of holding the Warzone. This was sanctioned as a training exercise and so it shall remain. An orderly transition to forces from the Young World will occur today and our comrades at arms may return home in peace.<br />
<br />
Indeed, a glorious day for the newly formed militia. The first victory of many to come.<br />

''A Bumpivanian martyr ensuring that Eureka pays for its actions''<br />
<br />
Meritocracy Administrative District, PNN Regional Headquarters: February 19th, 2005. A day which will be seared into our collective memories. For four billion residents of Eureka, this day will be their epitaph. For billions more in Bumpivania, this day may also be their end. Senator Bumpy made it clear that he and his populace would rather see the Meritocracy destroyed by fire than by the Kitimat Pact.<br />
<br />
Thus far, all around us, tanks and troops march through the streets. The senate and ministries are surrounded by Kitimat Pact troops. It appears that the section of the city that we are in is currently being occupied by forces from Praise Bob. Thus far, they have been arresting any one headed toward the senate, which are few people. All of us are in our homes and offices, waiting for this to pass.<br />
<br />
It also appears from this vantage point that all embassies are being respected. We are next to the Afslavistakistanian embassy, where troops have poured out and made their way to the senate. The embassy itself is not being attacked. However, on the street, the Eurekan troops are firing at Afslav troop. Troops from Praise Bob are largely being ignored by both sides, and they appear happy to be ignored.<br />
<br />
The MAD is in chaos as news of the nuclear holocaust spreads. In the sea, we can see that the Puppet States Fleet has moves its flags to half-staff. A possible acknowledgement of the nuclear attack. North of our headquarters and quite far from the senate, it appears that a fire has broken out in the city. We are unsure of the state of the FDMAD, but from the size of the plume and the gun-fire that peppers the air, it does not appear this will be put out any time soon.<br />
<br />
While those in Eureka may be dead, millions of their countrymen live on as conscripts of King Justin. How long until they take revenge is anyone’s guess. I only hope that they don’t take their anger out on more PNN personnel. Billions of innocents have died today, and if I see the dawn tomorrow, I will consider it to be a miracle. Jen, I want to say that I love you, and that God will watch over and protect you and our children.<br />

===The Pacific Government Celebrates Six Month Anniversary (Mar. 2, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-39-s-republic-of-the-pacific-celebrates-t1288.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Fireworks mark the celebration of the Pacific's government Six Month Anniversary''<br />
<br />
'''The People's Palace, Francos Spain Square, The Pacific'''. With a shot from Francos Spain's old shotgun in the People's Square, Unlimited announced the celebration of the People's Republic's six month anniversary as the sovereign government of The Pacific. Millions of citizens filled the square as parades of the People's militias walked through the street, followed by the Space Agency as well as the many displays of agricultural success. It was truly a pageant of the success that the Pacific has had since the inception of its most noble government.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic ascended as the second part of the Great Revolution led by the great Emperor, Francos Spain. As the Great Leader left the Region, the Revolution transitioned into the Republic, a government that is evolving to allow for all members of the region to participate in a true inspired form of civics and duty. The Republic has already seen great success in its infancy as being a world power throughout NationStates.<br />
<br />
In September of 2004, the Republic transitioned from the NPO while staving off attempts of infiltration and subversion of outside attacks. The Vanguard, Unlimited, ascended to the top of the government and mandated a new government should emerge, one which allows provincial governments to maintain control of their own jurisdictions.<br />
<br />
Today, we have seen not only stronger provincial governments, but the governors themselves also contribute to the laws of the Pacific within their own legislative body. Soon, the People will also choose their High Judge who shall maintain the Department of Justice and hear trials.<br />
<br />
The success does not stop there.<br />
<br />
The AELITA team conquered that which was thought could not be conqured. On February 6, 2005, Tar A stepped from the People's spacecraft and planted the Flag of the Pacific upon the surface of the Planet of Mars. Plans are in the works to develop Mars into a mining community and possibly a penal colony.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic also has six different militias that have been created. The New Duce's militia, Honorem et Libertas Militia, made up a large contingent that took over the Warzone Africa from the Rejected Realms Army. Not only was this a marked success for the People's militia, but it also secured excellent ties with The Youngworld Army and the Hellenic Guard.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic has also been involved in peace negotiations between the NPD and the NPU in the North Pacific. This marks an important recognition in the leadership of the Pacific government.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, all of the People have been blessed with a government that is always listening to serve its People. Truly, there is a real reason to celebrate in this Six Month Anniversary. We welcome all to help us recognize our past accomplishments and we look forward to marking further progress in our development!<br />

The Ministry of Culture Begins the Search for Which Province and Nation will Host the First Annual Pacific Olympiad!<br />
<br />
Today, in a highly anticipated announcement from the Ministry of Culture, the press was informed that Ministry officials would begin the official search for the host of the First Annual Pacific Olympiad.<br />
<br />
"We're very excited to have the selection process beginning," says Minister Sarda, "With the increased recent cultural activites in the Provinces themselves, we're hoping that we can galvanize the population which as much excitement as we feel here in the Ministry."<br />
<br />
East Pacifican cultural consultants have been employed by several independent commissions in the Pacific to offer their opinions on likely candidates. Initial reports suggest the winner of the Pacific Idol contest, and Mussolandia for it's recent sports victory, as potential nations.<br />
<br />
These first Olympic events, honoring the great Francos Spain's glorious rise to power as the founder of the NPO, are expected to draw enormous crowds to the host nation. Early estimates predict a crowd of more then three million people from around the region will make heavy attempts to observe the event. If nothing else, selection means an incredible economic boon for the host nation and province.<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Culture has issued a request that nations begin considering their pros, and begin the preparation of formal applications. The Ministry will also begin a questioning process of all the Governors, to determine which Province's nations will be considered for the final honor.<br />

''The Vanguard congratulates the new High Judge''<br />
<br />
Today, after a four day confirmation period, days of Senate and Assembly consideration, and the near month of rigorous testing in the Pacific Idol Contest... John Ashcroft Land was confirmed as the High Judge of the Pacific. The final vote was 16 in favor, and 5 opposed, while the Senate and Assembly approved his appointment almost unanimously.<br />
<br />
John Ashcroft Land, a devoted and loyal nation of the Pacific, and servant of the Revolution, began his career in the Pacific by answering Governor the New Duce's call to arms within his Province. Serving in the Honorem et Libertas Militia saw John Ashcroft Land rise to the post of the provincial Secretary of Defense. In the Ministry of Culture, Ashcroft also had the distinction of creating the first Pacific map, and receiving an appointment as Chief Cartographer of the Pacific. He has served with distinction in both offices, giving information and prime real-estate to fellow libertarians.<br />
<br />
And though Ashcroft leaves these posts behind, in favor of his new seat as the head of the newly reformed Pacific judiciary, his contributions will be remembered.<br />
<br />
Ashcroft will ascend to the position today, in front of his favorite statue, with his favorite tune playing in the background: "Let the Eagle Soar."<br />

The most contested strip of land in the world (map by Thel D’ran)<br />
<br />
'''Capital District, The North Pacific''': The North Pacific has been called the France of Nationstates: Once, it fielded a powerful army, but has since been conquered by a parcel delivery company, French pirates, the ADN, Lemurians, internal strife, and now, the North Pacific Directorate. Along the way, new forums have come and gone, players have joined and resigned, but the only thing that has been constant, is change. This article attempts to look at the current government of the North Pacific, the resistance movement that opposes it, and the outside organizations that have turned TNP into a prize to be won.<br />
<br />
The Rejected Realms Army<br />
<br />
On March 15th, the Rejected Realms Army allegedly sent troops into the North Pacific and endorsed 11 nations. This pushed some nations over the endorsement cap and some closer to Delegate Pixiedance’s (Moldavi’s) count. The North Pacific delegate then ejected several nations, and released a list of Rejected Realms Army members that were ejected. Crazy Girl, RRA general, denies that her army was in the North Pacific, and the only in TNP at the time was Stuey.<br />
<br />
High endorsement holders (Blackshear and Stars of the Sky) were asked to leave the region for one update to stop the attack. Both nations obliged, and have lost their endorsements.<br />
<br />
Regardless, in a time of decline, the North Pacific has grown by over 1000 nations in under a month. It is generally agreed that these nations can not all be from natural growth, so there are outside interests moving into the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The PRP-NoPac Summit<br />
<br />
The People’s Republic of the Pacific sponsored a Pacific-wide summit to try and resolve the issues between the North Pacific Directorate and its detractors in the region. Delegates from each Pacific and from the North Pacific Underground (now North Pacific Confederacy) meet to try and resolved the rift. The main issues of the summit were a return to democracy, and ending of the trials of traitors, deciding which forum would be the official forum, the amendment of the codex/constitution, and an end to censorship.<br />
<br />
While the summit had a rocky start, with a chasim between the two parties, and several representative switches from the NPC, common ground was found after NPC moderates PulpPhenom and Huma worked out a compromise that there would be delegate elections if the issue of regional security could be addressed.<br />
<br />
Phase Three<br />
<br />
The Minister, the head of the North Pacific Directorate, announced on March 18th that there would be an end to censorship on the North Pacific forums and that the user groups “trouble maker” and “opposition ambassador” would be the removed. The minister also announced that there would be delegate elections on September 17th. This would give virtually any nation in the region time to begin the process of meeting the requirements for delegate, which includes four months of service in the Regional Assembly and the gathering of some three-hundred odd endorsements. Voting will be done by the Regional Assembly, so these fifty nations will decide who shall lead the nation. While some moderate opposition leaders applauded the minister, others, such as Free4All and Romanoffia, who discount the election.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
This proposal only serves to grant the illusion of democracy, but it is much like Saddam Hussein being re-elected as leader over and over with 99% of the votes. It's only a democracy in name, and should not be agreed to by anyone who cares to live in freedom.<br />
<br />
Other nations, such as Tresville/CiscO, believe that change and better times can come from living under the Minister and creating change from within.<br />
<br />
Tresville wrote:<br />
We would not have to pledge Loyalty but we would have to recognize them. Those … months we can use to become active in the R[egional] A[ssembly] and help to make this a truely Democratic region. Lets not ignore the fact that we have larger numbers than the NPD and we should be a strong voice within the RA.<br />
<br />
The Spillover Effect<br />
<br />
The rest of the world has to worry about this tenuous situation, because North Pacific battles tend to affect her neighbors. Some blame the civil war in the Meritocracy due to the split of older and younger senators on the ideals of duality and neutrality. The events in the North Pacific brought these values to bear in the person of Ivan Moldavi, and may have lead to the Pebble’s incident that caused a rift in the government.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific is also at a crossroads. The United Democratic Pacific treaty is signed by the North, West, and South Pacifics. While the South has declared neutrality in the conflict, some entities in the West believe that they have the obligation to help the opposition and have a duty to support regime change in the North Pacific. Prime Minister Dilber has stated that no military action would take place until all diplomatic avenues are exhausted, namely, the PRP-NoPac summit. Whether the September elections are enough to appease the WP warhawks will be seen after grand assembly deliberations are complete.<br />
<br />
The Future<br />
<br />
While “democracy” has always been the watchword of the North Pacific, the minister is trying to bring forth “stability.” Pacific politics has always been a tough row to hoe, and with foreign troops supporting both sides of the conflict, it seems that the natives may be forgotten in the process. Hopefully, a peaceful, equitable solution can be found, and harmony can once again be found in this turbulent feeder.Capital District, The North Pacific: The North Pacific has been called the France of Nationstates: Once, it fielded a powerful army, but has since been conquered by a parcel delivery company, French pirates, the ADN, Lemurians, internal strife, and now, the North Pacific Directorate.

In a joint PNN and ENN exclusive, Lord Thistlebottom has been sworn in as the Meritocratic Confederacy Speaker. In a short ceremony today, Lord Thistlebottom, a long time friend of King Justin the Brave, spoke on the challenges facing the fledgling region.<br />
<br />
"We are facing many challenges. We face the challenge of proving we are relevant. We face the challenge of proving we have the guts and determination to stick around, and we have the challenge of growing stronger.<br />
<br />
In times such as this, all nations of the Confederacy must pull together, must ensure their actions are of good heart and motive, and put forth all their efforts to ensure this region does not become a graveyard for the luminaries of the meritocratic ideal.<br />
<br />
In such a case as this, Eureka will be the first to state: The Noble King's resources and skills are now at the complete disposal of the Assembly. Eureka will be first to state, categorically, that we will not see this region do anything other than prosper!"<br />
<br />
Making his statement to both Eurekan and Pacific News Network correspondents, Lord Thistlebottom made the stunning announcement that as of his acceptence of the Speakership, Eureka would cease debating in the chamber.<br />
<br />
"As I have initiated several bills now before the Assembly, it would not be proper for me to lead the charge. So, from this point Eureka's voice will fall silent, except in occasional circumstances.<br />
<br />
May the Confederacy prosper and grow. Eureka will do all it can to ensure that this happens."<br />

''Governor Sarda of Tantus Pacificus During his Acceptance Speech in September''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' The Senator of Internal Affairs has released the following press statement concerning the expiration of terms for three of the governors.<br />
<br />
'''Aurora Borealis(Non-letters-C)''', '''Province Francos Spain Memorial (D-G)''' and '''Province Tantus Pacificus (T-Z)''' are due to have elections in the coming weeks as due to an administrative oversight, the Governor's terms of these three provinces expired on 1st March without successors, or much notice.

<br />
The following criteria must be met by any potential candidates for the position of governor:<br />
<br />
First, check to make sure you meet the minimum requirements:<br />
<br />
1) Your Nation must be in the UN (Note: In some circumstances, this requirement may be waived by approval of the Delegate of the Republic. If it is waived, the Governor must ensure that the Vice-Governor is a UN Nation)<br />

2) Your Nation must reside in The Pacific<br />
<br />
3) Your Nation must have a population of at least 100 million<br />
<br />

'''Francos Spain Park, The People's Palace.''' Under the canopy of Cherry Blossoms and Mango Trees, Senator Warrior Thorin announced that elections for provinces will resume this coming week.<br />
<br />
"Fortunately, our governors and candidates have been patient as we have had to deal with my personal issues. Today, I announce the resumption of the promise that the Senate and our Vanguard made that you, the people, will choose the leadership of your beloved provinces," Warrior Thorin noted amidst a round of applause.<br />
<br />
Province Aurora Borealis (#-C) will have Sarda running as Daedalus will be vacating his seat. This will be an interesting event as Sarda has been governing Tantus Pacificus since the first elections.<br />
<br />
Tantus Pacificus (T-Z) will have Karpathos running. One of his platforms concerns having several fountains of Ouzo flowing in public.<br />
<br />
Quotidie Maiestas (Q-S) will also have Sedarva running for governor, a former governor.<br />
<br />
The other provinces will have their elections next month. Victors will assume their duties on the 1st of May.<br />

''Comrade Blackbird and Comrade Unlimited concluding the agreement.''<br />
<br />
The Pacific Senate hereby requests that all Pacific citizens refrain from going to Alliance Defense Network (ADN, or regions thereof) forums, regions or chatrooms with anything but the most benign intentions. If they do go to these places, citizens of the People's Republic shall conduct themselves with civility and decorum at all times; keeping to OOC, RP or civil and relaxed in-game discussion. While opinion is always welcomed, citizens are reminded that foreign policy is the domain of the Senate, and and as such, any threat, attack or slander will be dealt with immediatly by them.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, citizens of the Republic should avoid posting anything of an inflammatory nature on the forums of the republic; what is 'inflammatory' will be determined by administration on a case by case basis.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network now requires the same of its citizens, and all sides hope that the unfortunate events of late can be put behind us for a better era of peace and understanding.<br />

===Gatesville Leaves the Union (Apr. 29, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/gatesville-leaves-the-union-t1577.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''The Gatesville Compound, now abandoned''<br />
<br />
Offices of Gatesville, Union of Sovereigns Headquarters: In a surprise move, The Conservative Front, a representative of Gatesville, announced the following:<br />
<br />
''It is with great reluctance that the nations of Gatesville come to you today, to inform the Union of their desire to withdrawal from this venerable body. While this in no way reflects negatively on the reputation and respect that this governing body and alliance commands, it does sadden us to see this day.<br />
<br />
Gatesville is becoming more of a empire than initially thought. Gates the God and Rose-Colored Glasses envisioned a grand empire to rival the dastardly UN, but it was envisioned to be an empire in name and grandeur only. About 2 months ago, the nations of Gatesville put into place what would effectively expand it's own horizons and finally reach a practical future for the vision that Gates and RCG had, a true Gatesville Empire. In completing thus, we do not foresee our abilities as effective military aids in the future while maintaining a working franchise system.<br />
<br />
In doing this, it is our prime goal not to lose the friends we have made in this organization. We hope to be very close to all of you, as you have been extremely polite and cordial towards us these last months. We greatly appreciate it and hope that this will not ruin anything with any of the regions in the Union.<br />
<br />
And it is with this, we, the nations and High Council of Gatesville, do hereby formally secede from the Union of Sovereigns Alliance.''<br />
<br />
Union members were surprised by the news, as there was no forewarning or grievances listed. Essentially, it appears that Gatesville, the largest player-create region in the world, felt that it could not maintain its Union obligations and complete its mission of destroying the United Nations and repealing its socialist laws.<br />
<br />
Despite their leaving, Gatesville has insisted that it would stay close to Union members, and the Pacific is currently in Bi-lateral talks aimed at improving Pacifican-Gatevillian relations.<br />
<br />
Comrade Mammothistan said to a leaving Gates “I am sorry to see you go friend. Should you decide to rethink your decision, you can always have your seat back.” While we will miss our allies’ participation in the Union, the bonds of brotherhood created there will never cease.<br />

''The statue of Minister Moldavi being removed from Cathyy Circle''<br />
<br />
Capital City, The North Pacific: First it was s2, then s4, and now s9. Once again, the North Pacific has regrouped under a new forum. With Insane Power at the helm of Pixiedance, he seems to be moving the NDP in a new direction. Namely, he has declared the NPD dissolved. In an official statement, the new delegate made this announcement:<br />
<br />
''I hereby announce the end of the NPD.<br />
<br />
The NPD was a creation of Moldavi. I hope that you are beginning to realise that I do not wish TNP to continue to be run in the manner that Moldavi wanted.<br />
<br />
The Government will be expanded, to include fairly elected officials. The RA will welcome all nations from The North Pacific, that have been active for atleast two weeks on either S2 or S4 (or here) excluding Ministers.<br />
<br />
The Government is now simply The North Pacific Government.<br />
<br />
Freedom of speech is totally acceptable and I will allow one or more opposition Governments to be created. Although I ask that all members of any Government keep posts civil.''<br />
<br />
Indeed, there is room for an “opposition government” on the boards, and there seems to be an interest in ending the strife in the North Pacific. NPC members, however, were guarded in their optimism.<br />
<br />
Heft wrote:<br />
That's great, it really is. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic here (for once).<br />
<br />
But a warning. If you want this to end, you can't simply install your own new government. That's kind of one of the biggest causes of this feud. Also, you'll have to realize that you are hardly the most acceptable delegate or head of government for many of us in the region, whether you think you deserve your reputation or not, you do have it.<br />
<br />
Another snafu in the works is that the forum moderator for the NPC, Flemingovia, has refused the position. At present, there is no other post in the NPC forum section.<br />
<br />
Something of interest on both forums is The Flemingovia plan. It is a roadmap toward peace that involves dissolving all governments and starting over. While the new forum is a fresh start, the North Pacific Government (NPG) has not dissolved, and will continue with ministries. However, all nations are now allowed in the Regional assembly.<br />
<br />
Whether the new delegacy of Insane Power will lead to a long lasting peace or more strife, you can be sure that PNN will be covering it.<br />

''Illegal Immigrants and Terrorists moving across the boarder''<br />
<br />
BPI, The Pacific: The Pacific Security Services first started noticing large quantities of suspicious looking puppets entering the Pacific on Sunday, and they continued moving in for 24 hours until Monday turning it into a full scale puppet invasion; totaling a number of over 400 puppets. Sources within the Alliance Defense Network (ADN) quickly came forward to tell of their organization's part in the attack. When confronted with these claims, however, they were promptly denied by ADN Secretary of State Blackbird and ADN Deputy Director Unistrut, who declared that their organization wasn't even aware that there was an operation taking place in the Pacific. Contrary to this denial, the Bureau of Pacific Intelligence has managed to obtain the following screenshot, which clearly shows ADN Director Pope Hope herself ordering nations into the Pacific:<br />
<br />
[[File:2005-04-28_Pacific_Press_Image.webp]]<br />
<br />
Nations were asked to start moving as many nations as possible into the Pacific, with other unsuspecting nations being asked to "help the Pacific reach 8000". As well as this damning evidence, it was witnessed that many known ADN collaborators were moving all their puppets into the Pacific simultaneously. When questioned about their actions, they claimed either that they just happened to feel like moving, or that their reasons were classified.<br />
<br />
All of this only goes to show one thing: Bismarck was right, "Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied".<br />

''Warrior Thorin takes questions from the press''<br />
<br />
'''Francos Spain Plaza, The People's Palace.''' Two governors were officially announced today amidst controversy in April's elections. Senator Warrior Thorin addressed several questions concerning the recent campaign run by 1838.<br />
<br />
Sedarva assumes the governor office of Province Quotidie Maiestas. This Sedarva's second stint as governor, and he immediately went to work without even setting up his office. At the inaugural, Sedarva noted that, "The people's confidence in me has given me a direct sense that I will work hard this term. I plan to restore the passion of the Revolution in my province and continue in the forward direction of the Republic. Hail Franco!"<br />
<br />
Karpathos, the lovable Greek soldier, has assumed the governor office of Province Tantus Pacificus. Karpathos noted to one reporter, "I won? Well, free ouzo for everyone in my province!"<br />
<br />
Although reporters were interested in the new governors, most questions concerned the issue concerning 1838. "We have strict guidelines," Warrior Thorin stated. "I think it's very obvious what we ask our candidate to do. If 1838 honestly forgot to complete the application, then I can understand that. But it's absolutely unfair to the voters if you do not disclose all of your identities."<br />
<br />
One reporter noted 1838's activity in the Pacific as being seemingly loyal to the people of the Republic. "Yes, 1838 has been a good citizen. Yet, the application process is strict for a reason. I would like to re-iterate the Vanguard's statement in that 1838 is free to re-apply and run again in the next election as long as 1838 makes a full disclosure of all allegiences."<br />
<br />
"As disappointing as this event has been, the AoG is currently working on a resolution to ensure governance of Province Aurora Borealis. Comrade Daedalus will be appointed Regent of the province as long as the AoG and Senate approve.<br />
<br />
"We should, however, celebrate the continued efforts of the people of the Pacific to choose their leaders without outside interference. The Senate's continual vigilance and the People's voice are what makes the Republic so great. Long live the Republic, Long Live our Sovereignty, Hail Franco! Hail Unlimited, our Vanguard!"<br />
<br />

''The loss of a legend''<br />
<br />
Black Adder, the Rejected Realms: The Cunningly Franco-ish Nation of Black Adder is expected to expire tonight. His motto says it all “"Byyyyyyeeeeeeeee..........." He leaves this game as a Compulsory Consumerist State, with good civil rights, a frightening economy, and rare political freedoms. As is the custom burial of Pacific Senators, Black Adder will spend his final moments in the Rejected Realms. A UN member, a diplomat, a senator, a Franco fighter (both for and against), a philosopher, and a legend. We say goodbye to the People’s Republic of the Pacific Senator of Diplomacy, Black Adder. He always had a cunning plan…<br />

The Cunningly Franco-ish Nation of Black adder is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.71 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.<br />
<br />
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.<br />
<br />
Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the country is preparing for war, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Black adder's national animal is the baldrick, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the percy.<br />
Black adder is ranked 184th in the region and 13,893rd in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.<br />

At the time of this writing (6:24 PM Pacific Time), Black Adder was endorsed by twelve nations. PNN asks that any available UN nations please join this vigil.<br />

===The Union of Sovereigns Libertates Northern Ireland (May 14, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-union-of-sovereigns-liberates-northern-ireland-t1681.html</ref>===<br />

''Above: Union forces face the pirate vessels''<br />
<br />
Northern Ireland: The Union of Sovereigns showed the NS world what real defending is all about: slipping in quietly at the request of natives to endorse a native nation and oust an invading delegate. Textbook.<br />
<br />
At very short notice from Keltic Mystery, forces from Ireland (recently admitted to the alliance), The Pacific and SECO moved into the region to endorse native Griswalds. The region was being controlled by pirates of “the Jolly Roger”. Many pirate puppets were active at the time, yet the delegate failed to make a stand. Northern Ireland had enjoyed friendly relations with the Pacific, before falling into a lapse of inactivity and confusion which was also promoted by ABI dissolution.<br />
<br />
UoS forces were helped by a number of RLA nations and USK nations, noticeably XhaDam and The Mighty Pump.<br />
<br />
Forces from other parts of the NS world were also present, each under diverse intentions. Pacific Defenders attempted an incursion of their own using a non-native lead, but lacked numbers to achieve their goal. They did not intend to cooperate with Union forces. A similar case was that of Great Britain and Ireland, a former protectorate of the UoS, whose foreign policy stance on invasions is uncertain. They moved in too early and in small numbers.<br />
<br />
It is believed newly elected delegate Griswalds will clear the Factbook entry today and release an official statement from Northern Ireland thanking the parties who helped the region out. Now comes the hardest task, rebuilding the region.<br />

''Giant Cheese Weasels (top left) issuing his demand of an apology''<br />
<br />
000, EAA: The Emergency Auxiliary Army, a defender organization with members such as 000 and Scroll Islands, have issued the following statement to the ADN:<br />
<br />
Giant Cheese Weasels wrote:<br />
Due to their breach of alliance with Red Liberty Alliance we have issued a formal statement to the ADN Command asking that they apologize to the RLA for their actions, if they refuse the EAA Central Command and Board of Representatives will consider a termination of alliance with the ADN. This will not be a momentous occasion by all means.<br />
<br />
The declaration, made on May 14th, came after the EAA and the RLA finalized an executive treaty between the two alliances. Both defender organizations have worked with each other extensively in the past. The ADN could loose even more allies and defender unity appears to be drying up. Currently, there has not yet been a response by the Alliance Defense Network to the statement. PNN is currently camped outside ADN headquarters, and will give you live coverage of their response.<br />

===CIVIL WAR IN WEST PACIFIC (May 16, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/civil-war-in-west-pacific-t1698.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Soldiers from Stars of the Sky cross the boarder to support Regent Minineenee''<br />
<br />
Administration Island, The West Pacific: In a shocking turn of events, TWP delegate ZetaOne, having just won re-election, has ejected three long time members of the West Pacific without stating cause. Biteland, Gosstoepia, and Kholdstare, all subscribers of the West Pacific ad service, were ejected from the region today. The West Pacific government has been scrambling, and took action against the delegate.<br />
<br />
In a meeting of the Grand Assembly, Prime Minister Dilber initiated impeachment proceedings against the Delegate. In a unanimous vote of 9 – 0, the delegate has been stripped of his rank. The Regent of the West Pacific, Minineenee, has the next most endorsements and members are unendorsing ZetaOne and trying to boost the Regent to the delegacy.<br />
<br />
On the forum front, the Prime Minster is also taking action:<br />
<br />
Dilber wrote:<br />
Until we know what's going on, I have no recourse but to call a very temporary State of Emergency. The government will be operating as usual, especially the Council and GA.<br />
<br />
As current Senior Admin on the boards, I have removed Zeta's Admin Access, and he is at a members mask.<br />
<br />
I must say I must appologize for being at a loss at what is happening. However, I will do my best to help us fix this. I ask that as a region we all stick together, and we will get through this. TWP has been through tough times before, and we know how to fight.<br />
<br />
With that out of the way, I do have a request. The Constitution states that we all have a right to choose who or who not to endo. As such, I can not force anyone not in the military to do something. However, I must request that we all unendorse Zeta, and endorse Neenee. I honestly hope he will not kick her, as he has not done so so far.<br />
<br />
We must stick together. Our government is only as strong as we are. Please, help support us.<br />
<br />
Dilber,<br />
<br />
Prime Minister of the West Pacific<br />
<br />
However, while Dilber is an admin on the forums, ZetaOne owns the website, and while Dilber may be the leader of the West Pacific, ZetaOne has control of the eject button. Thus far, the regent has not been touched, and foreign forces are moving into the West Pacific to secure the delegacy for the regent.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific has a treaty with the Allied States of EuroIslanders, and Dilber activated the Mutual Defense Clause. Red Liberty Alliance forces have also been mobilized. North Pacific Confederate member were also seen in the West, expressing solidarity with government.<br />
<br />
As of 10:38 Pacific time, Delegate ZetaOne stands at 573 endorsements, and Regent Minineenee holds 569. With only a four endorsement difference, if ZetaOne took the night off, he will most certainly loose his 115 day vigil as delegate.<br />
<br />
*BREAKING NEWS*<br />
<br />
The regent has surpassed the delegate. Barring any more outside influence or the ejection button, Minineenee will become the next delegate of the West Pacific.<br />
<br />
*Breaking News*<br />
<br />
ZetaOne has announce that the "rouge delegate bit" was all an act. It was to make sure that the West Pacific could survive a tyrant delegate. How did the West Pacific do?<br />
<br />
ZetaOne wrote:<br />
You get a C for reaction time, and A for effort and an A+ for keeping it together.<br />
<br />
Apparently, the delegate was planning on leaving Nationstates, and wanted to go out with style (and the activation of several mutual defense treaties). With respect to who knew about this crazy scheme, no one was really in the know.<br />
<br />
ZetaOne wrote:<br />
Minineenee knew in advance that I was leaving NS. Biyah, Dilber, and a few others knew I was pondering over it. Minineenee was told about four days ago to start endorsing nations I was going to be leaving, maybe not permanently, but I was going to be leaving and could not finish my term.<br />
<br />
Biyah knew in advanced that the people were going to be ejected. It was going to be a good test to the region; I opted not to ban people from the forum. It should of made you all wonder why they heck I didn’t.<br />
<br />
Once again, the ban list of the West Pacific has been cleared, and the people look forward to being represented by their government and living under their delegate-elect, Minineenee.<br />

===The Proletariat Coalition Leaves ADN (May 6, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-proletariat-coalition-leaves-adn-t1637.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''Unistrut, before the ADN assembly, condemning TPC''<br />
<br />
The Red Factions, The Proletariat Coalition: In a move expected by all parties, The Proletariat Coalition, backbone of the Red Liberty Alliance, has left the Alliance Defense Network. The spat between the two organizations was started when Unistrut exposed an RLA/TPC spy (the Red Factions). The Red Factions had risen to the field marshal of the DEN, a notorious raider group. Unistrut felt that Red Faction had not done enough, and exposed him, as some would say, out of spite.<br />
<br />
Upon the announcement of the withdrawl, Unistrut had the following to say:<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
Some might say that the leadership of The Proletariat Coalition were incompetent for having such poorly managed intelligence assets, and that said mismanagement caused incalculable damage to innocent neutral regions. Some might say that. Including me. So fare thee well, TPC. Stick your outrage where the sun doesn't shine.<br />
<br />
Unistrut went on to then attack all leftist nations and regions:<br />
<br />
"If there is a failing on ADN's part, and particularly my own, in this situation it is that we haven't explained our reasoning or even tried to counter the outrageous rhetoric that Eurosoviets and his crew of turd slinging monkeys have been propagating. Let them play their BS political games... I swear the next time I have to deal with a another radical leftist political player masquerading as a defender will be too soon and one more time too many. I've really had it. Offense intended to all who would take offense. You know who you are."<br />
<br />
The Red Faction stated his reasoning behind his actions in a well-drafted explanation of his actions:<br />
<br />
My prime objective as RLA agent has always been to, in order of priority:<br />
<br />
Protect RLA interests and regions<br />
<br />
Protect EAA regions<br />
<br />
Protect ADN regions<br />
<br />
Undermine DEN Intelligence operations abroad<br />
<br />
Keep a firm control over DEN troopers and drive them away from our allies<br />
<br />
Build myself up a reputation which would allow me to know of every single Invader operation, move and deployement in every corner of NationStates.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With DEN being fully controlled by RLA Intelligence, we had them contained, under our control and we made sure our interests were left unthreatened. Further to this, I have contributed greatly with Intelligence to the ABI, EAA and to a small extent, the ADN but first and firemost, RLA has been kept safe and invaders kept at bay from our regions.Under my time not a single crash carried out by DEN troopers on the RLA suceeded and every time an ADN target or EAA target was brought up on the table, I diverted attention and forcefully made them abandon it. Not a single raid on such regions has ever been succesful under my time. Ever.<br />
<br />
The main qualm between the two is that the Alliance Defense Network wanted to protect the entire world, (ie neutral regions, regions who don’t want ADN troops on their soil, and regions who never asked for ADN support). The RLA and Red Faction had a different philosophy. Red Faction’s job was to primarily protect treaty partners and control the DEN. Since The Red Faction did not put the ADN, and their ideology first, the high command decided that he shouldn’t be there at all. This event shows clearly the ideological split between the RLA and ADN, which led to the break between the two organizations.<br />
<br />
“Defender unity” has been the catch-phrase of defender groups, but when defenders have two fundamentally different Modus Operandi, there can only be dissidence. Monte Ozarka, TNP refugee, understands this and had a call for reason:<br />
<br />
Monte Ozarka wrote:<br />
All of this stems from a difference in defender policy. Could we please leave it at that?<br />
<br />
Also, the RLA is not evil. TPC is not evil. The ADN is not evil. Select people is various organizations do stuff that is controversial. The overarching goals of any of these three orgs are not oriented toward being evil<br />
<br />
Unistrut responded "No, Monte Ozarka, sorry. I can't just leave it at that. It isn't anywhere near that easy or simple."<br />

===The People's Militia: Goodwill and Good Soldiers (May 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-s-militia-t1748.html</ref>===<br />

''A small child being rescued from tyranny by soldiers from Nak Nak''<br />
<br />
Warzone Europe, Karpathos: In another striking victory, the People’s Militia of the Pacific, along with soldiers from the Union of Sovereigns and The YoungWorld, liberated another Warzone. PRP personnel surfed regions and Warzones, waiting for the pristine moment to strike Europe. The New Duce, elected commander of the People’s Militia, has truly done his region a great service. “With 16 nations participating on a days notice for complicated maneuvers and dynamic orders, the People’s Militia will certainly be ready to defend our homeland and treaty partners.”<br />
<br />
The People’s Militia grew out of the Union of Sovereigns treaty, where the Pacific would be required to defend other regions from foreign aggressors. The Militia is strictly only used for the purposes of defending our treaty partners and the Republic. A clear example of this was the Pacific’s noticeable absence from the West Pacific during the ZetaOne ejections. The Pacific currently does not have a mutual aid pact with the West Pacific, and thus, the senate could not order the militia into the West to endorse the regent. This strict protocol ensures that the People’s Militia will not turn into invaders, but remain strictly a defense organization.<br />
<br />
Sir Paul, Senator of Media Affair, noted in a press conference that “the Union of Sovereigns has provided the Pacific with an invaluable source of security. Our treaty partners have defended the Pacific countless times, and now, it is our turn to defend our allies from aggression and tyranny.”<br />

''USSR soldiers stage "invasion" of Chechnya''<br />
<br />
Moscovy Marines, USSR: Much to the NS world’s amusement (and to the embarrassment of others), the USSR invasion turned to be a fake; a plot devised to fool some of their enemies.<br />
<br />
The scenario was designed similarly to that of Ukraine, even if it was also constructed by some miscalculation along the way. Firstly, USSR forces under the command of General Moscovy crossed the Chechnyan border and captured the region, claiming it as a colony. This happened under a carefully controlled medium, since USSR citizens had created puppets in Chechnya to play the role of natives, arguing in favor and against USSR intervention.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that many of the natives welcomed the USSR occupation, on the 17th, an assorted group of defenders attempted to oust Moscovy, yet failed to get organized. It was on the 21st, however, that a large group of nations entered the region. The Soviet High Command was fully aware of this plan and organized it so they would endorse “The Forsaken Village,” a puppet of Moltar from the USSR.<br />
<br />
Once update was done, The Forsaken Village surprisingly ejected all the nations who had endorsed him and posted a WFE revealing his USSR affiliation and claiming revenge for the events of Ukraine. The USSR had an account to settle with those whom they refer to as “devaders”.<br />
<br />
Ukraine was a region founded by Francos Spain that was captured by the ADN once a process similar to that of Chechnya had been set in motion. After the "liberation," Ukraine was passworded, and now has two inactive nations.<br />
<br />
Now as delegate, The Forsaken Village passworded the region, but forgot to send it to the rest of the natives, assuming that an offsite forum availability for it would suffice. The nation was rightly deleted and the password lifted.<br />
<br />
It was then when a further approximation was achieved to the Ukraine scenario, where a TITO lead had also been deleted for griefing. The world expected perhaps another UoS-ADN showdown and a race for delegateship, but it was not to be. Moscovy revealed that he had created the founder of region Chechnya, Chechen Grozny. The founding nation was resurrected and the ADN lead, along with all of his endorsements, was ejected.<br />
<br />
Despite unexpected turns in the road, Moscovy claims the USSR achieved their objective: "There have been many scandals concerning the inadequacy of devader intel services, this further highlights them."<br />

''Loop (left), Caer Rialis (center), and Unlimited (right) celebrate the completion of Pacifics Interactive''<br />
<br />
Newer York, The South Pacific: One again, the boarder city of Newer York, the triple-junction of the East, Central, and South Pacifics, is home to a magnificent project. Long championed by the East, hosted by the South, and built by the PRP, the Pacific Interactive Forums are a place for all residents of the Pacific to join together, have a tall frosty one, and enjoy each others company.<br />
<br />
Mammothistan, chief architect of the forums, explained the reason for such a place. “We have long recognized that there is something inherently special about the Pacifics that separate us from the continentals living in player-created regions. This forum will allow us to come closer together as Pacficans and have a better understanding for our shared heritage.”<br />
<br />
East Pacific Delegate Loop, who has long fought for a united forum, hopes that this will fulfill his desire for a more united Pacific. “Over the last few months, we have seen regions fall apart from internal strife, from the Meritocracy to the North Pacific. By better understanding our fellow Pacificans, we should be able to avoid such conflicts in the future.”<br />
<br />
Caer Rialis, delegate of the South Pacific and landlord of the forum, noted that he “looked forward to the positive discourse that is sure to occur” and he “welcomes our brothers and sisters from the North and West to take part in our shared community.”<br />

All in all, a glorious day for the Pacifics.<br />

===Peace, Order and Good Government (June 21, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/peace-order-and-good-government-t1919.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By I.F. Stone<br />
<br />
'''Peace, Order and Good Government'''<br />
<br />
With these words a dynamic pact was formed between the world's two ancient colossi. The Pacific, the birthplace of the world, and The South Pacific, the first Pacificus to forge a recorded civilization. The South Pacific overwhelmingly passed a resolution praising the People's Republic and highlighting the two regions' continual commitment to peace and friendship. Unlimited, Comrade Vanguard, reciprocated the announcement on behalf of The Pacific this morning. <br />
<br />
'''A Statement of Mutal Respect Between the People's Republic of The Pacific and The South Pacific'''<br />
<br />
The South Pacific and the People's Republic of the Pacific stand together in friendship, and in support and defense of our shared goals and values.<br />
<br />
Our values are peace, order, and good government. Our goals are the protection and promotion of these virtues through peaceful means, and the defense of the sovereignty that allows them with all the power at our hands.<br />
<br />
This declaration signifies the bond of our two regions in our Greater Pacific home, and our desire to further our common interests. We pledge to stand together against all forces of tyranny and imperialism, to protect and preserve the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of all the nations of our regions, and the governments that govern both.<br />
<br />
May the People's Republic of the Pacific and the South Pacific be forever joined in solidarity, and may all regions of the Nation States world, great and small, join us in strengthening and expanding good government and opportunity for all peoples.<br />
<br />
The Statement was primarily authored by Vice President Fudgie. The iconic phrase of "peace, order and good good Government" comes from Canada. The Council of the South Pacific, the region's deliberative body, engaged in a month of discussion over the proposal which met little opposition. It had broad support of the Cabinet. More telling are the numbers: in a high-turnout decision ninety percent of the Council voted in favor.<br />
<br />
'''What it is and what it isn't'''<br />
<br />
It is not an alliance. The People's Republic's adoption of the same statement does not mean that both are bound together in perpetuity. It is also not a formal treaty. To the practical-minded this is a nonevent, but to idealists and believers in 'soft power' touted by thinkers as Sir Paul and Deng Xixian its significance cannot be understated.<br />
<br />
It is a formal declaration by both parties of their feelings for each other and their willingness to work together in the future. It is the kind of milk-and-cookies legislation that helps make stronger friends and forge future unions. Southland VP Fudgie explained, "this is not a formal treaty or alliance, rather a statement of friendship and support, and a declaration of friendship."<br />
<br />
'''The South Pacific takes a NAP'''<br />
<br />
The proclamation is rooted in the Pacific Cooperation Organization and during its many 'fireside chats' initiated by PCO chairman 1 Infinite Loop, and saw the idea's development grow during the intense cooperation needed to make the PCO's flagship project, the shared forum (link), work.<br />
<br />
But its history goes back farther than that. The South and central Pacifics have been on good terms ever since the Non Aggression Pact (link) was signed last Fall, and re-ratified this Spring. The Statement ratified Monday echoes the NAP's opening:<br />
<br />
''[The South Pacific and The Pacific] recognizing each other as the legitimate Governments of their respective regions, have entered into the present agreement in accordance with the following five principles: Mutual respect for sovereignty, non-aggression, non-interference into each others internal affairs, equality, and peaceful coexistence.''<br />
<br />
Circumstances have changed since then. The South, West and North were joined together under the United Democratic Pacifics and the NAP was a (gladly made) warm ending to a cold war. It was logicial conclusion of talks between Francos Spain and LadyRebels following a mini-war over a year ago.<br />
<br />
Now the North has been effectively neutralized for the time being, without any clear voice as coups are re-occurring and the former Community has been stomped. The West has been quietly sidelined from Pacific politics as its government continues to practice unilateralism, and the UDP has been superseded by the PCO. The once demurred East Pacific and PRP are now the champions of Pacific Unity. <br />
<br />
"I think we need to face facts... the PRP is not the NPO. They have been extremely helpful to us ever since the NAP. In fact, they have been helpful to all the Feeder regions since that time."<br />
-Caer Rialis<br />
<br />
'''Peace in our time'''<br />
<br />
Today the People's Republic and the South Pacific are very close friends. The majority of the Pacific's Senators have strong ties with the Southlands. Many residents of either side hold dual citizenship in the other. Caer Rialis sends Comrade Mammothistan telegrams on occasion (it is rumored they are appreciated). The Hall of Justice now hosts the South's superheroes, who have been freed from the villainous Dilber's hypno-ray, are valuable members of the SuperFriends (link).<br />
<br />
Unlimited was reportedly "satisfied" with the statement's outcome. Rumor has it he almost cracked a smile, although PNN has found no reliable evidence. Comrade Mammothistan was "content". Warrior Thorin was quoted as saying, "I am extremely pleased with the work of both of our regions in friendship in learning that diplomacy and communication are always preferred alternatives to war, and our shared progress in the common cause of Peace." <br />
<br />
'''Final thought'''<br />
<br />
"I think this Statement only makes de jure what has previously only been de facto."<br />
<br />
And that's how it all works out for today kids. Enjoy your Tuesday.<br />

''The New Duce's Secret Barbeque Rub!''<br />
<br />
'''Poskrebyshev National Park, The Pacific.''' Now that the month of June has arrived, the great Pacific citizens can rejoice! After a harsh winter in which much of the region had many feet of snow, the sun has melted away and the beaches have once again presented themselves for the hardworking citizens to relax.<br />
<br />
Comrade Senator Mammothistan heralded in the summer with the Pacific annual barbeque contest (he finished second in the hottest chili contest, behind The New Duce's Militia Red One recipe).<br />
<br />
Along with the summer is the Pacific Major League baseball season. The 30 team league is expected to draw more fans this year than last year.<br />
<br />
Many festivals are planned for this summer:<br />
<br />
The "Pig-Pickin' Bluegrass and Vodka Festival" will be held from June 27th to June 30th at Poskrebyshev National Park. Come to the festival and sample the best vodka produced this winter throughout the Republic and feast on the pig and bluegrass music.<br />
<br />
The Fine Arts Festival shall take place from July 1 through the 7th at Francos Spain Square. Featured this year shall be Unlimited (as maestro) and his Symphony of the Republic. Rumors have it that the East and South Pacific will send some of their finest musicians as well in this year's event, and Dilber from the West Pacific is expected to bring his baritone sax as well.<br />
<br />
The First Annual "Pacific River Raft Race and Rock Festival" takes place from July 8th to July 10th. Participants will arrive on July 8th with their handmade rafts and float down InfernoIce River while a carnival takes place along the western bank.<br />
<br />
The Great Pacific Fair takes place from August 1 - 14th. Come see the pig races, eat some of the finest foods of the Pacific region, and ride the many rides built right here in the Pacific. A live jousting tournament headed by Senator Warrior Thorin will also take place.<br />
<br />
The festive summer is drawn to a close with the People's Festival, which begins September 1st through the 15th. This celebration of the creation of the Republic shall have re-enactments of the great Revolution of Francos Spain and solemn memorial to the Father of the Revolution.<br />
<br />
"These festivals are the way we give thanks to the great people of the Republic," noted the Vanguard, Unlimited. All festivals are free to the citizens of the Pacific and their guests. All hostile to the Republic will instead be asked to go to the Rejected Realms and visit Kandarin's Annual Rock Picking Festival (guaranteed to be a hoot, I hear).<br />

===Pierconium Apointed Minister of Justice (July 18, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-apointed-minister-of-justice-t2116.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''The Minister of Justice, fulfilling the promise that “I’ll be back”''<br />
<br />
Fortress Moldavi, Pierconium: With the confirmation vote of the Assembly of Governors official, Senator of the Delegacy commissioned the first Minister of Justice of the Pacific on the Grand Balcony of Castle Moldavi in front of thousands of applauding Pierconiums. “We knew that this day would come, when the empire would again return to prominence in the Pacific!” a national overcome with joy announced. This comes at the heals of the resignation of the previous High Judge of the Pacific, John Ashcroft Land and the new legislation passed in the scandal’s wake. Unlimited noted that “The Pacific is dynamic, and the Senate and AoG have taken measures to ensure that future indiscretions shall not happen.”<br />
<br />
The Pacific Underground, a group committed to the reformation / overthrow of the Republic, is expected to opposed the appointment. Pierconium was a central figure in the North Pacific instability crisis started one year ago by UPS Rail. When delegate Cathyy grew weary from the weight of the North Pacific delegacy, she handed the delegate nation Pixiedance to then Senator Pierconium’s control. This violated the official Pacific stance of neutrality, and the Senator was decommissioned by court-martial in the Superior Court. After forming the North Pacific Directorate, Pixiedance then transferred to Insane Power, a member of the NPD. According to NPD officials, this move was intended to create stability in the region that would not happen as long as Pierconium held the delegacy. Later, Insane Power announced the dissolution of the NPD, thereby setting up the now defunct North Pacific Government. This caused a falling out with Pierconium, leading to the declassification of NPD documents.<br />
<br />
All the while, the former senator maintained his citizenship in the Pacific, and after his term as The North Pacific Delegate, dissolved his home region of New Sparrow and devoted his energies to the Republic. Pierconium was repentant of his actions, and became a valuable and unsung member of the Ministry of Security and the BPI, along with advancing the culture and industry of the Pacific.<br />
<br />
The Republic has long had a history of forgiveness. More than half the senators at one point opposed the Pacific government, only to realize the folly of their ways, commit themselves to the ideals of the revolution, and progress the Republic forward. Pierconium has proven himself a knowledgeable of the law and a capable judge. He came to the Pacific in a manner not of anger or spite, but of reconciliation, respect, and repentance. Pierconium’s example shows that the spirit of mercy and reconciliation established by Franco lives on, and that the light of the revolution shines bright over the Pacific.<br />

===Rejected Realms Rejects Democracy? (May 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/rejected-realms-rejects-democracy-t1749.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul and PNN Staff<br />
<br />
Kandarin, The Rejected Realms: The Underworld is a rough place. It has been called a home for the homeless, and is the last refuge of the political refugees. However, despite this ejection-free zone, delegate Kandarin has managed to hold onto power. He has been in office, at the time of this writing, 237 days. The only reason for this lapse in delegacy was the bug that also affected Loop’s delegacy, and a three day loss of the delegacy to Carinthe. Effectively, only Loop, Unlimited, and Kandarin are the only feeder delegates who have been able to remain in power for any length of time.<br />
<br />
However, this lack of changing of the guard in the underworld has created a desire, in some, for an opposition party. Drunken Conquerors has tried to start such a party, and is pushing not for the delegacy, but for change. <br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors wrote:<br />
Kandarin is a good person; however he sits perched atop a mountain of political inbreeding that has become totalitarian in nature. There was no alternative to government in the RR- true; one cannot be ejected. But a dissident can be mocked, ignored, shunned, and defamed into silence as well.<br />
<br />
Kandarin is also supported by several non-natives. Many armies are friendly with Kandarin, and have standing orders to endorse him in the Rejected Realms, until they are needed on maneuvers. This has created the feeling, according to some, that the Rejected Realms is not controlled by the natives, but by foreign armies. This claim, however, has been refuted by the Deputy Director of the Alliance Defense Network, Unistrut.<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
Oh and, prop up? We haven't even sent our regional militaries in to support him against your invasion yet. You'll see his endorsements double overnight if need be.<br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors has also accused members of the Rejected Realms and the foreign armies from interfering with his bid for an opposition party.<br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors wrote:<br />
However, some of his supporters have been quite terrible towards me in this game, regarding my ideas about politics. I have received TG's, as well as stern lectures when I tried to express my ideas to members of the ADN; rife with ridicule and insult.<br />
<br />
Kandarin explains why DC is treated the way he is:<br />
<br />
Kandarin wrote:<br />
So far, in the course of the region's 2-year history, about 2-3 dozen people have come into the region and began running for Delegate upon their arrival. Quick examinations of their background and their actions afterwards have in fact shown that not one, not two, not a dozen, but almost all of these individuals has been backed by invaders or otherwise been a scheme by some other region to take over. This is not propaganda, it's historical fact. RR endorsement-swappers, when they get enough endorsements, have had a consistent history of then calling in the invading army they have waiting just over the horizon.<br />
<br />
Standard tactics include a jumble of loudly vocal supporters who have suspiciously new nations and ringing condemnations of the existing system as tyranny. So the reason the ADN is so hostile to you is that you look exactly like the invader spies we've seen so many times before.<br />
<br />
Indeed, Unistrut provided, at DC's request, IP screenshots from the ADN forums that DC is connected to Twins of Hearts and Chickedeli. While the ADN claims that DC is an invader, he continues to maintain his innocence, citing the numerous invader nations that he has helped delete. He maintains his call for full democracy.<br />
<br />
However, the delegate also claims that democracy does not work in a feeder region, but instead it is better to have a trusted person in charge than to have an unknown tyrant.<br />
<br />
Kandarin wrote:<br />
A pure democracy can exist in Nationstates, but not in a feeder region. It has been tried many times, each time the region was either conquered and pillaged or barely escaped destruction. In a feeder region democracy is always hijacked. It is better to have someone you can trust than the person with the most charming smile and the wittiest endorsement-telegram. Ask the South Pacificans, again, about El Sabah Nur. Ask the North Pacificans about Great Bight. Ask the West Pacificans about the time that they discovered the week before the election that one of the main candidates had other motives.<br />
<br />
Despite this, opposition fever may have hit the Rejected Realms. Last Hope, a nation with more than 5 billion, posted his request for support in removing the “tyrant” Kandarin.<br />
<br />
Last Hope wrote:<br />
5 hours ago The Overpopulated Hemisphere of Last Hope "What has Kandarin done for me lately?" The answer, fellow residents, is likely to be "Nothing," for without any viable political opposition, the nation of Kandarin grows lazy and complacent.<br />
<br />
Many of you will be contacted shortly to ask you to withdraw your endorsement from Kandarin and endorse an alternative, such as myself or Drunken Conquerors. Please give this your serious consideration!<br />
<br />
Even if you wish Kandarin's reign to continue, please consider also endorsing an alternative. So long as Kandarin rules without any hope of challenge, we do not have democracy in The Rejected Realms, but tyranny.<br />
<br />
This push comes not from any "alliance" or group -- my nation has no affiliation and no agenda other than to keep Kandarin honest, and to ensure The Rejected Realms has the representation it deserves--that YOU deserve.<br />
<br />
--Last Hope<br />
"Restore The Rejected Realms to glory!"<br />
<br />
Since, the thread has turned into an IP war, with each side bringing evidence against the other, proving who is the defender and who is the invader, including guest appearances by Unistrut, Pope Hope, and Avenging Angels. While the concept of democracy rattles around the realms, the RR forums are the smallest of all the feeder regions (save TNP take 3). With an apathetic population, the opposition parties may find themselves fighting not only the ADN and the established government, but indifference.<br />
<br />
*UPDATE*<br />
<br />
Gordonel, PRP candidate for governor, has admitted to controlling the nation of Chickadeli, the same nation that Unistrut accused DC of controlling.<br />
<br />
Gordonel wrote:<br />
When would be a good time to tell PH and Uni that Chickadeli (Chickedeli) is a puppet of mine I moved into TGU a while ago, and abonded after getting bored of the ADN? Or should I keep that one quiet? :idiot:<br />
<br />
This revelation might clear the way for others accused of matching IP, such as recent ADN outcast C1ndy.<br />

''(Left) The Statue of Pixiedance and (right) the Statue of Thel D'ran in Cathyy Circle, Capital City, TNP''<br />
<br />
Stars of Sky, The North Pacific: The North Pacific has a new forum, and a new delegate. Yesterday, Pixiedance, the nation that was controlled by Cathyy, Moldavi, and Insane Power, pulled out of the North Pacific. This created a power vacuum that lead to a mad rush to become delegate. The North was divided into two camps: Thel D’ran, the delegate cartographer, and Lungwallabad. Tresville and CiscO, long-time members of the North Pacific, called for the endorsement of Thel D’ran.<br />
<br />
Tresville wrote:<br />
I wanted Thel to get the delegacy just in case Stars was booted..and she was...i asked many to come in and support....from his endos u cuould see ADN, RLA, Seco, Westpac, PRP, Alcatraz, etc etc...all working together...something that has not been done ...well...probably ever. I didn't expect Free to get his panties in a bunch and divide us again....which he did and it only caused more problems. He should be booted along with everyone else if u were going to boot people Stars.<br />
<br />
At update, (which lasted until 9 am, Pacific Time), Thel D’ran lost 20 of his endorsements, and Lungwallabad became delegate. North Pacific Directorate members were ejected, and Stars of Sky was unbanned. Stars had been update surfing, and thus, had the most endorsements upon returning to the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
However, the “Free” reffered to in the Tresville quotes, is none other than ALL member Free4All, pivotal in the Great Blight Liberation and the beginning of the Thel D’ran administration. Free4All chastised Tresville for calling in foreign troops.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
By my knowledge the Government of the NPC issued no such request. It may be that a Minister did something like that in a rogue fashion without consulting the rest of the Cabinet, and such an individual should be looked upon with suspicion because of such a rogue action.<br />
<br />
As Minister of Defense, in charge of Intelligence, I should have been consulted prior to any request being made that foreign troops were to move into our region.<br />
<br />
Free4All then proceeded to blast Tresville and Thel D’ran.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
Great way to express we should stop fighting, while proposing that I am ejected from the region. Good job in the hypocracy department there.<br />
<br />
The way I see it, I helped prevent a LOT of problems by working to avoid a Thel Dran delegacy. I personally do not believe Thel would've handed over the delegacy to the player with the highest endorsement total. I'm convinced he would've left Stars of Sky on the banlist, giving some lame excuse for it. After all, IP/Cathyy made the deal that Thel should be the delegate and kicked Stars of Sky in the first place to make just that possible. Had Thel been elected Delegate we'd still not be liberated, though I'm convinced some of his carbonari-friends would've been on here trying to make everyone believe that a liberation had happened.<br />
<br />
Rest assured that a future Thel Dran delegacy will be interpreted by me as that same outside group once again taking power for themselves. They plunged us all into the Cathyy / Moldavi / IP disaster in the first place, so I do not expect anything positive from that at all.<br />
<br />
Regardless, it is now time for the TNP to settle down and adopt a governing document. A new forum has been set up to discuss this matter here and many factions have presented their opinions. STNP, NPC, NPD, and others are arguing for and against the merits of each system. However, the North Pacific still feels the sting of foreign intervention. As former delegate Cathyy noted “I'm sure all in TNP will be relieved to know that our former Masters the ADN have resumed their duties.” Found in the civil HQ of Nasicouria is the following message:<br />
<br />
The Republic of NIMARCI wrote:<br />
Troops are stationed in TNP keeping order.<br />
<br />
Delegate Stars of Sky is pushing for “The Democratic Articles of The North Pacific,” which is the RA-RV articles by Haor Chall combined with the STNP proposal with some compromises. Others, especially established NPC members, and lobbying for the Constitution, which is already in effect with elected and appointed officers. Ultimately, it is up to the delegate to decide the will of the people will be followed, or stifled.<br />
<br />
However, some have been complaining of ejections and banlist maintained by Stars of Sky. Currently, Cathyy, Poltsamaa, and Naspar Cosif remain banished from the region. Though part of the old regime, they are never-the-less natives, and some argue, should be allowed to participate in the reconstruction of the region. Again, I’ll stress my warning to the North. Please, for the love of all that is holy, unite, and build a government with the support of your citizens. If you continue to bicker and fight, you’ll have to fight another war of liberation.<br />

<br />
''Crazy Girl (above and to the right) in a brawl with some raiders''<br />
<br />
Matey’s Bar, The Old Raiding Club: the haven for relaxation for several invader groups is under new administration. CrazyGirl, under her alias “Silent Wolf”, decided to storm in and capture the region with the help of other 3 ADN troopers.<br />
<br />
After being repelled by several defenders from organizations such as RLA and EAA under the lead of Bimisaari on the 15th, Crazygirl took advantage of the dying founder and lack of defender resources to counter her attack to take over the region.<br />
<br />
A vigorous debate sprang up in RLA boards yesterday, as several people discussed the possibility of resisting the invasion. Whilst Avenging Angels and Crazy Horses IV were eager to stop Crazygirl’s attempt, RLAF commander EuroSoviets issued a clear order to stay away: ''“As for TORC, the RLA missed two defender operations because of that tiff with the ADN. The RLA was right to intervene to hold the ADN to a higher standard as Xha'dam said but talking about a liberation is perverse when invaders are active in more important regions. This morning alone there were three operations. Tomorrow morning will be no different. It is a matter of priority and regrettably we have only so many resources. Invader regions are at the bottom of our priority list.”''<br />
<br />
As for the ADN, we are not expected to receive an official response on the subject, since the organization was not officially involved in the attack and Crazygirl has “retired”. On the occasion of the first invasion effort, Dilber stated that, despite the fact West Pacificans assisted in the attempted take-over, no ADN troopers were officially ordered in.<br />
<br />
This is not the first time Crazygirl resorts to invader tactics to assert her intentions; one need not be reminded of the invasion of Ukraine. The following was taken from The Old Raiding Club’s regional message board:<br />
<br />
''“Don't believe everything you hear and see. Also, stop your whining. Invaders invade innocent regions all the time, but when we take over an invader region (which I wouldn't call innocent) everyone who's a wannabee defender falls over it”''<br />
<br />
PNN has observed and noted that Crazygirl invaded The Old Raiding Club. Evidence is clear as crystal.<br />

<br />
The Office of the People's Puppet, Ministry of Culture, The Pacific: Today, the second anniversary of the Pacific Revolution, also marks the formal announcement and official re-introduction of the People's Puppet Project.<br />
<br />
The People's Puppet Project is a time-honored tradition in the Pacific - one begun by Francos Spain - but due to NationStates site loading issues, it has remained inactive for some time. At their best, the People's Puppets spark enlightened debate, raise interest in the offsite community, and represent our community to the rest of the NS world, and in resuming the Project, these are my main aims.<br />
<br />
The Puppets work like this: In creating a NationStates nation, there are many choices involved. With the People's Puppets, these choices are laid before the people of the Pacific. Whatever the people decide in relation to the issues and customizable fields becomes law for the puppet nations.<br />
<br />
The project, in accordance with the most recent Puppet project led by Sarda, includes three Puppets, honoring Francos Spain, Unlimited, and the people of the Pacific, and after extensive polling, the names and government types have now been chosen.<br />
<br />
The first Puppet, commemorating Unlimited, is named Scotland's Glory, and its nation type was selected as Inoffensive Centrist Democracy. Scotland's Glory has been up and running for a bit now, and its government type has already switched over to New York Times Democracy. Due to character limitations, the nation's actual name is Scotlands Glory, and it can be found here.<br />
<br />
The second Puppet, Franco's Pacific, commemorates Francos Spain, author of the revolution. Its nation type is Tyranny by Majority, and Dawn and Sun holds its reins. Just like its big bro Scotlands Glory, Francos Pacific cannot officially include an apostrophe. You can check it out here.<br />
<br />
The third and final Puppet, commemorating all of the people of the Pacific Revolution (yes, including you), is named The Pacific Crescendo, and its government type, chosen randomly, is Scandinavian Liberal Paradise. The NS link to this fine nation is here.<br />
<br />
All of the issues and special polls for these Puppets are taking place in the People's Puppet Forum. Feel free to stop by and debate, suggest, and vote to your heart's content.<br />
<br />
It is my sincere hope that the People's Puppet Project may continue in its rich history and may bring glory to the Pacific and its people! Hail Francos! Hail Unlimited! Hail Mammothistan! Hail the Revolution!<br />

<br />
''The Ukrainian flag, planted by Francos Spain, being lowered and replaced by the flag of the Orange Revolution''<br />
<br />
'''Kiev, Ukraine:''' With little fanfare, the last known region founded by Francos Spain was toppled and refounded by the Orange Revolution. Ukraine, which was founded by a Franconian puppet (Ukraine SSR) and given as a gift to Redcommunist of the USSR ('''U'''kraine '''S.S.R.'''), was an issue of serious contention between the Union of Sovereigns and the Alliance Defense Network. When the USSR went into Ukraine to do region-building and alleviate “the stagnation that had infected the region” (Red Communist), the Alliance Defense Network counter-invaded, leading to a showdown involving several hundred nations. While the Alliance prevailed, no one expected the Union to rally so many UN nations, making it the first joint military action that set them on nearly equal footing with the ADN.<br />
<br />
After the Alliance ejected all Soviets and Union members, the region was locked down with a password. For months, Ukraine existed with two non-UN nations, with no posts in the regional headquarters and no actions in the regional happenings. Soviets and Pacificans pleaded with the remaining two nations to allow immigration into the Ukraine, but it was to no avail. While Union sympathizers decry the Alliance for "Killing Franco's Region," the ADN steadfastly insisted they were repelling Soviet agression and it was up to the natives to decide if they wanted any help "regionbuilding."<br />
<br />
Now, the founder of Ukraine has been changed from Ukraine SSR to The Republic of The Orange Revolution. The World Factbook Entry states that the Ukraine was “Refounded in the name of The Orange Revolution. Ukraine is a former soviet republic but it is now on the way to become a western democracy.” It also notes that “Ukraine has oil so we are going to be invaded sooner or later.”<br />
<br />
Immediate speculation abounded as to who is behind the Orange Revolution. Black Adder noted that Orange was traditionally associated with the Dutch, while others associated Orange with the Irish Protestants. More likely, the Orange Revolution is linked to the real life situation that happened in the Ukraine in 2005, which saw pro-western candidate Yushchenko win the second run-off election. However, many Soviets and Pacificans feel that it is a personal jab against them, mocking the August Revolution (whose 2nd year anniversary happens in two days). Regardless of the origins of the Orange Revolution, another chapter in the history of Francos Spain has closed, and perhaps a new founder will be the end of the stagnation in this region.<br />

Tomorrow, at 07:39:57 BST it will be one year since Franco's last login. I think it is fair that the Pacific enters a 60 day long period of festival and remembrance of our Great Leader, Francos Spain, Emperor of the Pacific, culminating with a vigil on the day on which Francos Spain ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
Franco rose up with the popular support of the citizens of the Pacific to overthrow the corrupt oligarchy of Thedoc's regime, and proceeded to purge the remnants of the previous government under which the Pacific had stagnated for so long. Under his guidance, the NPO was established and provided the first real, stable government of the region.<br />
For a glorious year of enlightened government, Great Franco repeatedly protected the revolution, expelling wave after wave of subversives and thwarting many ADN invasions intended to destroy what had been accomplished, sending the invaders back to the Rejected Realms where they belong.<br />
<br />
In tribute to Franco's inspired leadership, the spirit of the NPO lives on today in the form of the PRP. Scarce few governments can claim such longevity and stability. The Pacific continues to be, and forever shall be a model for all other regions to aspire to.<br />

'''Issues and the West Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''Media:'' While the Pacific considers itself the center of media affairs in the feeder regions, the West is giving them a run for their money. With the launching of the successful West Pacific Radio, and talk of launching a news branch, the West is stretching their communication mussels. However, PNN is currently in talks with WPR (West Pacific Radio) to broadcast PNN stories over the airwaves. Also, if a West Pacific paper is founded, Prime Minister Biyah hinted there might be an affiliation deal. This continues the feeder trend of media and news sharing.<br />
<br />
''ADN, RLA and PRP:'' Former Prime Minister Dilber should have been in the circus, as he was able to remain a very popular leader, and was able to walk any tight rope. He remained an ADN leader, normalized relations with the Pacific, and signed a Mutual Aid/Intellegence pact (The Black Sheep Alliance) with the RLA. Able to stay on everyone’s good side, the West was a bridge between the Alliance, the Socialists, and the Union. Current Prime Minister Biyah has promised to stay the course, and maintain the status quo of good relations with regions of all types.<br />
<br />
''Image and Diplomacy:'' The West Pacific, though, is at the butt end of many jokes in Nationstates. One is their propensity to shut down an embassy at the drop of an endorsement. Another is for their neutral stance. In a highly polarized world, those in the middle of the road tend to be run over. As for their diplomatic corps, Biyah stated that their main problem was reach. He felt that half of the young invaders would be in the WPLF (West Pacific Liberation Force) if they knew the truth. He also believes that the West is slandered most in regions where there are not established embassies. While the diplomats do a good job where they are, where they are not is where they need to be.<br />
<br />
''General Assembly:'' Where the people are, the Grand Assembly is currently in a state of Spring Cleaning. Ooomph, Speaker of the Grand Assembly, is currently purging nations who are not meeting the requirements of membership. There is also discussion on the procedures and decorum of the Assembly. With no major issues on the table, the West Pacific appears to be staying active by streamlining and defining the procedural requirements of GA members. As Biyah puts it “It's a peaceful time; we're all testing our shoes and kicking back for a well deserved rest.”<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
As with all feeders, now that the NPG and NPD are done, how to deal with the new government. I’ll leave you with a statement from the new Prime Minister: “We have … reopened the embassy. Our official stance is one of support. We're not going to be taking any action or giving official aid until we're specifically asked. Several elements of their population have a real paranoia about external manipulation right now; we're not going to fuel that fire. They have enough issues as it is without dealing with more fallout from our good intentions.”<br />

The People's Republic of the Pacific is preparing for the Feast of Pacific Revolution. This five day festival, which lasts from August 28 through September 1, promises to usher in sweeping change in the People's Republic as they prepare to celebrate the August revolution and the founding of the NPO and PRP. Leading up to this feast, several issues are on the table for the Pacific Senate to resolve, with foreign powers pressuring the Republic from all sides. How the Senate and AoG handle the next week will likely determine the fate of the region for the next year.<br />

'''Issues and the Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''The Alliance Defense Network:'' The first and foremost issues is the ADN Application. The vote for or against acceptance of the Pacific has been stalled in the ADN council chambers due to citizen uprising in the Pacific and Alliance considerations. Originally seen as a joke ushered in by the Mammothistanian regime, the application has been taken seriously. If the Pacific does join the Alliance, Loop of The East Pacific has promised to cut off the The Pacific from the Pacific Interactive Forums, and Redcommunist of the USSR promised to destroy the Republic or quit the game in disgusts. ADN members, however, are split on the issue: Some feel that this would lead to democratic reforms in the Republic, while others feel that this would legitimize a dangerous regime. The Pacific senate has promised that their final answer would be given by the August Revolution, and we could see either a new Alliance member, or an old stand-off. Effects on the Pacifics would be easily seen. Traditionally, the east and central Pacifics have been close friends, and the North and West have been close, while the South gets along with both blocks. Since the destabilization of the North, the West has become increasingly isolated from their brother and sister Pacifics, as the South moved closer to the central and east Pacifics by joining the PCO. With the North returning to constitutional rule, an ADN-allied Pacific could shift the balance of power to the North and West.<br />
<br />
''The Pacific Cooperation Organization:'' Regardless of ADN affiliation, the new pan-pacific forum has taken off, with over 10,000 posts in a few short months. The West Pacific, however, was not invited to join the forums due to "differences of opinions." The perceived rift, however, appears to be dying down, as WestPac members have been registering to the forums, and have engaged in dialogue with the Pacific. The Pacific News Network has been running a Tabloid magazine in the West for some time now, and currently has an agreement to broadcast on their radio station, (with the 1st PNN update expecting to occur in a few weeks). The West appears interested in joining the PCO, and the North may wish to become involved to increase Feeder Solidarity.<br />
<br />
''The University of the Pacific:'' The Pacific is currently writing legislation on founding a University. Sir Paul, Senator of Media Affairs, hopes that this University can join-up with other feeder universities to create a Pan-Pacific system of co-operation and scholarship. "The north has amazing cartography and the East has fantastic role-play. Each Pacific excels at their craft, and a Pacific-wide university system would allow each citizen to tap into a greater pool of knowledge."<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
The official PRP policy with respect to the North Pacific is Neutrality. As quoted from their FAQ, the Pacific is neutral with:<br />
<br />
The North Pacific (Directorate)<br />
The North Pacific (Underground)<br />
The North Pacific (Government)<br />
The North Pacific (Stars)<br />
The North Pacific (Confederacy)<br />
The Meritocracy<br />
Red Liberty Alliance<br />
<br />
As the North emerges from the second summer of strife, she looks to become a gleaming beam of democracy and freedom in the Nationstates Community. However, true greatness can only come when a region venture beyond its boarders, if only to spread its good name. While relations with the Pacific at this time are deemed pre-mature by many, eventually, the North will have to decide its place in Pacific politics.<br />

===Imperial Germans return to their homeland! (Sept. 10, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/imperial-germans-returns-to-their-homeland-t2418.html</ref>===<br />

By The New Duce<br />
<br />
''Above: Bundesrepublik leads German Cavalry on the road to Brandeburg gate''<br />
<br />
''Berlin, Germany:'' The Exodus is over. German natives, assisted by the USSR, the Pacific and Gatesville, attained the delegate position in their home, after more than 2 years of forced exile.<br />
<br />
On August 29th, founder Der Reichsprotektor was deleted by MODs, for displaying a prohibited flag (his request for repeal has not produced an answer from MODs as of yet). On that same evening, pirates from the Jolly Roger took over the region.<br />
<br />
Yet a glimmer of hope had been kindled by the events of the previous day. The despot, the eternal enemy, was out of the picture. Der Reichsprotektor had frustrated German hopes several times. The Bundesrepublik best decribes his behaviour: “''DRP continued to let the region stagnate. Every once in a while, a delegate would gain power, there would be a brief flurry of activity, and then DRP would kick the delegate for whatever sick twisted reason. While Imperial Germany grew in size, Germany continued to be in either turmoil or inactivity until well into Spring 2004''” Nazi trolling, stagnation, mockery, all was permitted under Der Reichsprotektor, all but progress.<br />
<br />
With the dictator gone, the German Empire endeavored to oust the pirates and reclaim their home. A separate forum was set up to host representatives from regions allied to The German Empire. While a backup liberation plan comprising use of force was already being devised, it was concluded by this cadre that no forceful liberation could be conducted effectively. The Jolly Roger had demonstrated fierce resistance in North Korea and it was only through patience that the USSR was able to recover the region. Indeed, three delegates held Germany for 9 days, frustrating incursions from RLA, The Capitalist Wing and others.<br />
<br />
Diplomacy was the logical step in the series of realpolitik alternatives presented in this scenario. The Jolly Roger were approached by Union members and became aware of the plight of German nations and decided to step down, insisting that only a small group of nations escort Kaiserliche Armee (UN nation of The Bundesrepublik) into the region. And so, without unnecessary blood being spilt, the Kaiser and his people finally returned home.<br />
<br />
Now we can only hope that the wishes of the delegate are fulfilled: “''Let the repatriation and healing begin. Once more shall Germany rise to the forefront of NationStates, taking its true place amongst the powers of the globe and standing for freedom, honor and truth everywhere.''” A provisional government will be installed. Union forces will remain stationed in the region at the delegate’s behest, to ensure malicious organizations are prevented from deterring the progress of Germany anymore.<br />
<br />
Enough from the journalist. Here’s the voice of the Pacifican:<br />
<br />
Hoch der Kaiser!<br />

===State of the Feeders: The East Pacific (Sept. 20, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/state-of-the-feeders-t2491.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul (originally published in the North Pacific Wire on Sept. 20, 2005)<br />
<br />
''A soldier from Krechzianko "asks" a Govindian to turn over all of the capitalists in this village. They were later purged.''<br />
-----<br />
''The third of a five-part series, The North Pacific Wire will publish an in-depth look at each feeder region each Monday, focusing on its relations with the Feeder community and The North Pacific. The editors hope that this series will help the nations of TNP make sound foreign policy decisions as it enters a new era.''<br />
-----<br />
'''Rillanon, Christie Island:''' From the relative safety of the East Pacific Capital, the reports of war crimes in the Indian sub-continent roll in. The Govindian government dissolved, the region was thrown into chaos and several nations offered to send aid. However, this aid usually degraded into imperialism, rape, torture, and death. The whole sub-continent is thrown into a Somalia-like state, with local warlords and the native population throwing themselves like so much ground hamburger at the advancing foreigners. Oh, good God… This just in… The Govindian Capital of New Dehli is no more. Packilvanian troops, assimilating citizens near the boards, used an orbital weapons platform to wipe the city off the map. Debris from the attack is being found as far south as Sri Lanka. 500 Million people are estimated to be dead. Ladies and Gentlemen, the East Pacific is at war.<br />
<br />
This, however, is just another typical day in the beautiful East Pacific, where the socialist will shoot you, the hive will assimilate you, the aliens will subjugate you, and death reigns from above. However, you just can’t beat the weather and endless miles of beach sand.<br />

'''Issues and the East Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''Roleplaying (war):'' The East Pacific is the only feeder that is (nearly) entirely and (almost) completely role-playing. Posting is done in character, as in the political arena, as a representative of the government in the East Pacific Confederacy, a loose binding treaty that keeps the East Pacificans from blowing each other off the map (the latter part is not usually too successful). The East Pacific Regional Map is used frequently in the RP wars, and the results of the wars are dutifully played out. There are nations on this map that have uninhabitable squares. Fish Island, for instance, has to spend the next 30 years in nuclear bunkers from the last tussle between Loop and Pax. Portions of Cupertino are uninhabitable, and all of “India” is, essentially, Somalia. The bombing became so bad that Free Pacific States, the RP moderator, now has to clear the use of all weapons of mass destruction, especially those that leave a trace on the planet. This is to keep the East from becoming a post-apocalyptic wasteland.<br />
<br />
''Roleplaying (not-war):'' But the East is more than revolutionary socialists with orbital platforms. Another popular RP going on right now is the Shiro Akademi, a naval prep academy located in 1 Infinite Loop. Each player is RPing a single cadet at the school (and not as the leader of their nations). Everything from cultural interactions, social life, and classes are discussed in this RP, allowing the players to slip into a reality that threatens to overtake their own. As is a common saying, banject RL!<br />
<br />
''Of Inter-regional conclicts:'' The East Pacific is an inward facing people, and general does not get into inter-regional affairs. That said, the East has, really, only two inter-regional nemeses. One is the West Pacific (who claims that their territory lies in the orient, as does the East Pacific). This tussle was captured in an NPR Roundtable Discussion. Even famed cartographer Thel D’ran is not taking sides on the issue. He admitted that to solve the unified NS map, “It might mean different planets.”<br />
<br />
The other rivalry that TEP faces is with the Alliance Defense Network. Since the delegate Loop was a Farker, he has been criticized for his invader roots. Before the August Revolution and Francos Spain, Loop was considered the feeder tyrant. Delegate Loop has been a vocal critic of the Alliance, but in general, the East Pacific is a “live and let live” region, fielding no army and holding no formal treaties.<br />
<br />
For defense, however, it does manage to maintain an active intelligence bureau and was able to survive a game glitch that cost Loop the delegacy, making them a resilient people. Indeed, the East is very protective of their home territory, holding the title as the feeder with the least amount of Spam. Residents of the East find it very intrusive and prosecute those who break advertising limits to the fullest extent of the law.<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
When asked about the North Pacific, the delegate of the East, 1 Infinite Loop, expressed his joy that the North Pacific is under a native delegate again and not under the “ADN propped-up regime of Stars”. He wished the North Pacific all of the best, and looks forward to a time of peace and prosperity. The delegate also hopes that the North will stay out of the Alliance, and instead become a part of the growing Feeder community.<br />

===Exciting Changes Afoot in the MoC (Sept. 30, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/exciting-changes-afoot-in-the-moc-t2580.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Risellia<br />
<br />
''Ranking among the most notable of the changes instituted by the Ministry of Culture is this truly splendid sign.''<br />
<br />
'''Ministry of Culture, the hills of S-Z:''' Vacant since the days when Sarda once walked its halls and called its shots, the Ministry of Culture has not been at the forefront of the Revolution in recent times. Ideas have become stagnant; venerable, active threads have dwindled, and the cultural industry has slowed to a near-grind.<br />
<br />
But today, today there is movement. Today, there is initiative. Today, there will be direction. A new age of fresh thought and renewed passion is on the horizon!<br />
<br />
Comrades! I call you to witness what has been set in motion!<br />
<br />
Organization has begun to take shape in the Pacific Gallery of Art, as that patriot and Curator Galaisa has unveiled his Grand Initiative. While its effects in the forums have not yet been felt in full force, off-site this initiative will hold true to the expectations of the people of the Pacific. New art will be made and put up for display by the nations of the Pacific, and the Pacific will continue to inspire her citizens to greater artistic heights. Hail the Gallery! Hail the Curator!<br />
<br />
A fellow patriot, Afslavistakistania has taken on the role of Cartographer. His maps shall visually display the power and unity of our region to all who may inquire as to its strength. The main map will be merged with other maps from our fellow Pacifics, through which process we may gain further awareness and understanding of our fellow feederites. It is with great excitement that the people of the Pacific look forward to his progress. Hail The Pacific and its nations! Hail the Cartographer!<br />
<br />
The Pacific Historical Society is preparing to embark on a grand initiative of its own in attempting to update the Pacific Chronicles and the Pacific Encyclopedia, and it has also provided a good place for Pacific nations to record the details of their history in NS. Our storied history should be a focus of the Ministry of Culture, and it is the Ministry's intention to give it its proper due. Hail the glorious history of The Pacific!<br />
<br />
The People's Puppets have continued to run strong. Of late, they have begun to spark more enlightened debate about the NS issues they present, as was the intention of the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry hopes to provide one issue per puppet nation per week for the enjoyment, discernment, and enlightenment of the people of The Pacific. Hail the People's Puppets!<br />
<br />
The Poetry section of the Ministry of Culture has been admittedly narrow thus far, focusing only upon the traditional form of Haiku. It is the Ministry's intention to expand this focus to include as many other forms as the people of the Pacific can provide, with the first attempt to work towards an anthology coming in the form of a competition, now underway in the Ministry of Culture. Hail the written word! Hail the powers of persuasion and amusement!<br />
<br />
The University of The Pacific is still awaiting legislation as to the duties of its overseer, but it is the Ministry's intention to aid its growth in any ways possible and to collaborate and contribute in all instances where it is deemed helpful. Hail higher knowledge!<br />
<br />
In all of these departments, there exists this one common thread: the opportunity for service to the revolution. In any of these areas that may catch your interest and more, it is more than possible to lend a hand and further the causes of Pacifican culture.<br />
<br />
And finally, the invitation from all of us at the Ministry of Culture: Come taste of our culture, and see that it is good.<br />

===Elections Announced for New Offices of the Republic (Sept. 26, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/new-elections-announced-t2547.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''In one of his final acts as Delegate, Vanguard Unlimited checks signatures on the Republic Reform Act of 2005''<br />
<br />
'''Capital City, Francograd, The Pacific.''' On September 21st, 2005, the Senate of the Pacific government announced the passing of The Republic Reform Act of 2005 which has led to vast changes in the government structure of the Pacific. The act was approved by the Senate and the Assembly of Governors, and it called for an immediate dissolving of the AoG structure.<br />
<br />
The government now has four provinces instead of the previous iteration of six. Also, the government now has four ministries, each headed by elected officials. The eight elected officials will become a new assembly which will guide the legislative process and internal structure of the government. "The former structure worked quite well," stated former Delegate and Vanguard, Unlimited. "The Senate believed that we needed to find a way to collectively bring more minds into the civic structure of the domestic sphere of the government. Thus, we meted out this legislature and Sir Paul worked tirelessly with the AoG to create these reforms."<br />
<br />
The new structure more clearly seperates the duties of the Foreign Cadre and the Domestic Cadre, and it specifically entails that the Judicial component is seperate altogether. The Senate, which comprise the Foreign Cadre, have clearly defined roles in their duties to protect the Republic. What is even more clearly defined is how the Domestic Cadre will perform its role.<br />
<br />
The provinces will be charged with accepting citizenship applications, a new component in the Republic. Previously, citizenship was an amorphous concept, but it is now clearly defined in the recent legislation. Citizens cannot vote or hold office unless they are citizens. Nations are permitted to hold dual-citizenship as long as they complete their application.<br />
<br />
On September 26th, 2005, the Senator of Administration announced elections for all offices as listed in the Reform Act. All offices are expected to be filled by 15 October 2005. The elections will run between October 5 to 15th. Applications can be filed in The Department of Administration for both the office of Governor and Minister. All inquiries regarding the elections and the procedures may be directed to Warrior Thorin.<br />

The editors hope that this series will help the nations of TNP make sound foreign policy decisions as it enters a new era.''<br />
-----<br />
'''Chupa, Fudgetopia:''' The Pacific is the dawn of life. Being the first region, it is Ethiopia. It follows, then, that the South Pacific is Mesopotamia. The South is a pioneer in the feeders, being the first Pacific with a civilization and a history. The South has a rich and vibrant tradition, and their current government has lasted for two and one-half years. They have been the foremost opponents of the NPO, yet supporters of the PRP. Allies to the North and West, yet that alliance is suspended. Bound by marriage to the East, but the blushing bride seems to have retired. The South’s involvement in inter-regional affairs have also waxed and waned, much like the civilizations in the Fertile Crescent. The South, with its joining of the Pacific Co-operation Organization, has been waxing for the last 8 months. It is only a matter of time to see if it will wax all the way to the southern boarder of The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
'''The South Pacific, Vital Statistics (From the BPI World Factbook):'''<br />

'''Issues and the South Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''TSP Cliques:'' The South Pacific has been called, by some, an “old boys club.” Vice President and head of the government, Fudgie, spoke with me at the Lodge, located in the Fudgtopian capital. Sipping a glass of Australian Chardonnay, the Vice President informed this reporter that, in reality, she is the only “old boy” left, making it, if anything, an “old girls club.” She also told me that some outsiders confuse the South with being a clique because of the isolationism. In general, they prefer the company of friends. Indeed, an aura of friendship can be felt on the forums. The friendship here seems paramount, as the industry of the region is exerted on OOC pursuits, such as RL discussions and posting games. Since the creation of the Pacific Interactive Forums, the Southerners have been exposed to East Pacific and Pacific cultures and people, leading to an understanding that the “Cliquey” TSPers were simply isolationists, who are good friends, which is a hallmark of their unity and region.<br />
<br />
''Red Tape:'' I then inquired about the council and the government of the South Pacific. The VP the kicked off her shoes and placed them on an ottoman, while a servant exchanged her drink with a more assertive California White Wine, a glass of Viognier, along with a Mature Blue Stilton, a sharp cheese. She then explained the complexities and intricacies of the government. In general, the region functions as a pure democracy, with every bill and law being debated and passed by the council, which is made up of every citizen. The timetable from getting a bill proposed to passed is about one month. Considering the two-month terms of office, (compared with the three months in the West and the four months in the Pacific), it can be daunting for secretaries to finish their agendas before being bounced from office. However, the system has compensated by, in general, re-electing officers. VP Fudgie has held her job for 8 months, and has been involved in TSP politics for many a long time. However, there is not much in the system at the moment. No grand reforms, no pressing business, no shocking legislation. The South seems set on cruise control, and seems to enjoy the laid back lifestyle and chipper view from the beach.<br />
<br />
''Humor:'' After such a heavy subject, I moved on to ask about the lighter side of the South Pacific. Notably, that Hawaiian Print Aloha Shirts and Lampshades were the official dress code for a while. Fudgie chuckled, and shook her head as she smiled. "We’ve been trying to shake the party image for a while, but this certainly takes me back." She snapped her fingers once, and a servant brought out two Mai Tais and grilled shrimp cocktail. “Actually, I finally got rid of all of my Hawaiian print shirts and my pair of Hawaiian print underpants.” She sips her drink through the loopy straw, while maintaining her prestige of office. I am baffled how she pulls it off. “The South is still a kickback place of friends, but we have grown up a bit over the years. We have a good defense force, and a strong intelligence organization which works very well with our allies and our secretary of defense. We have to maintain a balance between fun and responsibility."<br />
<br />
''Foreign Affairs:'' “Speaking of the DSP, when was the last time they were deployed, Madam Vice President?” Fudgie looked at her empty Mai Tai and shrimp shells. “You bring up a meaty subject, Sir Paul. Why don’t we chew the fat?” The servant comes out, this time with Porterhouse Steaks and an Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. I asked the servant how he knew that I enjoyed my steak medium rare. He informed me that the South Pacific’s Intelligence is very good. Fudgie, cutting into her filet section, told me that “the last deployment of our forces was during the Zeta One affair.” She then bit into her steak to get the bad taste out of her mouth. The Zeta One affair was when the delegate of the West ejected some members and declared himself king of the West Pacific. Virtually all Nationstates armies mobilized, only to find out that it was a “test” of the region’s preparedness. Many in the South were not pleased with the false alarm. The Vice President also doubted that the United Democratic Pacific Treaty (UDP) would be renewed, not necessarily because of the Zeta One affair, but for a “variety of happenings in Nationstates and the Feeders.”<br />
<br />
''Newcomers:'' As we were finishing up dinner, I inquired about the forum registration. The South is the only feeder that requires verification during registration. In response, the plates were cleared, coffee was poured, and cake served. “I hope you are not implying that the South is not a good host to guests and friends,” the Vice President stated. I told her that I didn’t, and found them a quite hospitable people. “The verification process is in place because of certain ‘problems’ that we have had in the past. A certain person who is banned, but makes new accounts and posts. Again, we must maintain a balance between our responsibilities and our pursuits.”<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
Asking a South Pacifican what they think about North Pacificans is much like asking Americans what they think of Canadians. Answer: We don’t. The South has no official policy on the North one way or the other. While there is a North Pacific embassy, it has been inactive for some time, and the South has not sent an ambassador in quite a while. If any political discourse is to happen between the two regions, it will probably have to come from the North first.<br />

===Culture in NationStates: The FreeMasons (Oct. 17, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/culture-in-ns-the-freemasons-t2696.html</ref>===<br />

The hair of the dumbstruck is stood on end;<br />
And a voice mourned to the few.''<br />
<br />
In real life it would be glaringly obvious to state that people have opinions. Some opinions so complete as to be a virtual grand unified theory of social relations, e.g. Marxism or Libertarianism, some are just vague ideas about things as undefined as human nature or whether or not governments really are keeping details on alien spaceships secret from the public. For those of us that play Nationstates, we may run into real life holders of certain opinions only rarely if at all. Over the course of the 'Culture in NationStates' series, I intend to examine some world-views, give our readers some grounding in them, present the opinions of some holders of those views, some opponents of those views and then pass off the problem of assessing which is right and wrong to the reader.<br />
<br />
Freemasonry is something I've never come across in real life. Having checked the United Grand Lodge of England website, I find there are no registered lodges on the island of Ireland. I'm told this isn't necessarily a bad thing by Danitoria, the Delegate of the ASE. I've interviewed several Freemasons who play NationStates - each of them came forward voluntarily; Blackadder of The Pacific, Thel Dran of Lemuria, 1 Infinite Loop of The East Pacific, Romanoffia or The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
Contrary to how I introduced this article however, Blackadder commented, "Being a Mason is supposed to be 24/7. Game or not it is part of what we are so it translates out into how we react. Masonry isn't an ideology so much like Socialism or Libertarianism, its a moral credo. Take your rites and you'll know what I mean." In this I would argue that socialism does translate out into how we socialists react 24/7 (generally irreverent buggers that we are!) but one thing struck me; all of those who answered my short questions were convinced of one thing. The benefit of the fraternal feelings engendered by common membership in a Masonic Lodge.<br />
<br />
Loop, talking about how the bond between Masonic Lodge members translated into gameplay in Nationstates, said it "has brought about new friendships in the game, and more patience with those associated with the Brothers." With beautiful rhetorical flourish, Romanoffia elaborated on the responsibilities of Masons inside NationStates as with every aspect of their lives, "It means that one should apply one's morals and ethics to the game as much as the game permits. By doing so, it means that one must be ready to be assailed by some for sticking to your immovable position. It means that you must do nothing to wrong, cheat or defraud anyone. I means that you must let nothing compromise your moral and ethical stance and to resspect and promote the truth regardless of the consequences." Thel Dran on the other hand believed application of Masonic morality was for each Brother to decide for himself.<br />
<br />
The legends that surround the Freemasons are somewhat obscure to many people - at least to anyone who hasn't read the buffoonery of Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' but one of the most enduring myths is that the Freemasons, themselves descended from the Knights Templar, are in possession of the Holy Grail - rumoured to be a goblet from which Jesus b. Joseph drank from at the Last Supper.<br />
<br />
When asked who had the Holy Grail, Romanoffia and Loop claimed it for themselves whilst Blackadder point out, "I believe its Mervin Bigglesworth, Fishmonger. Lately of Aberdeen but I could be mistaken. Let me see that handshake again... ." Thel Dran enigmatically commented, "about conspiracies in general, both of Masons and in NationStates, I try to keep this in mind: If only 1% of what's said of us is true, would we actually have time to play this game?"<br />
<br />
Of the whole matter, Romanoffia lent me his own insights. "The Holy Grail is an ideal and not a physical item. In fact, the "Holy Grail" in historical terms is essentially a literary fabrication of medieval troubadors to represent the one single truth or desire that is to be obtained. For the medieval troubador, it was illicit love in the sense of Lohengrin. That is, Lohengrin sought the forbidden love of a woman with the idea that he would suffer eternal damnation and seperation from God for all eternity for the sake of earthly love of a particular woman in the hear an now. That's a pretty bold statement for anyone at any time who believes in a literal Hell.<br />
<br />
This brings up the thematic point that the real Holy Grail in Arthurian legend wasn't a drinking vessel - it was the 'eternal feminine' for which each Knight of the Round Table sought, suffered for, and eventually met their demise for not realizing that the Grail was not the literal cup that Christ allegedly drank from at the last supper, but it was something that was right in front of all of them, yet they didn't realize that they didn't have to go looking for at all. They already had it!<br />
<br />
The other literary reference is that the 'Holy Grail' or rather the 'San Greal' or 'Sangue Raal' is really the "Holy Blood" of the alleged descendants of Christ (who, according to the Marovingian legends) were Christ's literal blood decendants. San Greal = Sang (blood) Real (royal). The Marovingian House claimed to be the direct literal decendents of Christ's offspring by Mary Magdelen according to that legend. Largely speaking, it historically appears to just be a means for some Medieval royal family to lend legitimacy to the 'Divine Right of Kings' theory."<br />
<br />
Fascinated as I was, and any historian would be, by the lore of Freemasonry I also felt duty bound to investigate various websites and ask certain people about their opinions on Freemasonry. Blackbird, a noted NS Trotskyist and Director of Red Liberty Alliance Intelligence, asked with characteristic dry wit, "Do they have a Central Committee?"<br />
<br />
Danitoria went a little more in depth. "I'll give you the reason I don't like them in one sentence: something that is secret, elitist and influential at the same time can never be allowed to exist." Investigating a Masonic information site, I discovered some literature on those who do not like Masons and Freemasonry for one reason or another. These types were categorized thusly: Religious Intolerants, Hate Groups, Conspiracy Theorists and Self-Servers. Reading a little further, the author of the site commented (in a discouragingly patronising fashion) on how the vast majority of these people were college drop outs, of little education in theology or philosophy or any branch of the liberal arts which would lend their gripes credence.<br />
<br />
In response Danitoria retorted "Do you know anything about freemasons? In the UK? They are scum...Freemasons are cops, judges, businessmen, toffs, local politicians - the collective [Conservative] elite. Across England they are the influential, the wealthy, the reactionary and the privileged. And that is all that they are and all they will ever be. I've never heard of a lodge in the UK, or anywhere, even letting women join. They have "wives' nights" and are a disgusting mixture of pathetic, antiquated and dangerous."<br />
<br />
I did find evidence of some so-called Masonic Lodges which were more liberal about women and so on - but these were quite openly denied association with the UGLE which I linked to above. The one notable thing was that the only properly theological requirement for membership was belief in a supreme being; God, Yahweh, Allah and so on were all acceptable to the Masons. Danitoria's complaint was not without substance however as an investigation into famous Masons soon revealed (Famous Masons A-L, M-Z). With people like Mikhail Kutuzov and Frederick II of Prussia cited, in the latter case as "Effective military commander, music composer, patron of literature and the arts and institutor of many social reforms," Freemasonry is certainly something that elites of both Property and Capital are noted for being interested in. More recently, American political elites - of distinct seniority in Congress and the White House are also extant in the rolls of good and great Masons.<br />
<br />
Of course many will disagree that this is a bad thing, believing the world today to be meritocratic, where good men can rise - and who better than Masons, duty bound to Brotherly Love, Relief (i.e. charity and voluntary works), and Truth to fulfill that role. This article is open ended and the choice between two viewpoints herein presented must be made by the reader. What is ever fascinating is watching the reality of the viewpoints which define us as people filter into the mini-world we've created for ourselves.<br />

===The People's Militia captures Warzone Australia! (Oct. 16, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-s-militia-captures-warzone-australia-t2691.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Above: troops stealthily disembarking in the Australian coast''<br />
<br />
Darwin, Warzone Australia: the People’s Militia, after a spell of prolonged inactivity in the warzones, has once again proved it’s a force to be reckoned with.<br />
<br />
Aided by both Moscovy from the USSR and Gateborg from The Young World, the militia produced 12 troopers within 30 minutes to overtake Galts Gulch delegate Sirthis. The Pacific’s last incursion into a Warzone had taken place in June and our soldiers were looking to shake dust off their boots.<br />
<br />
Since the Pacific does not place value on the possession of warzones save for training purposes, commander Nea Petropolis does not plan to hold Warzone Australia for too long.<br />
<br />
Unexpected arrivals from Tresville and the infamous People’s Revolutionary Party, coupled with a late update, threatened our trooper’s momentum for a while. But they were too few and too late. Tyranny was deposed once again. The Blue and Black prevailed over all foes.<br />
<br />
Alas, a NationStates server crash did not allow for much celebration. Pacificans hope a system reboot that could erase changes in the past day will not be necessary. In any case, the objective was accomplished.<br />
<br />
It was certainly refreshing to see some new faces participating actively within our ranks. Discipline was to be commended. The following is a list of troopers involved.<br />

===State of the Feeders: The Rejected Realms (Oct. 18, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/state-of-the-feeders-t2708.html</ref>===<br />

The fifth of a five-part series, The North Pacific Wire will publish an in-depth look at each feeder region each Monday, focusing on its relations with the Feeder community and The North Pacific. The editors hope that this series will help the nations of TNP make sound foreign policy decisions as it enters a new era.<br />
-----<br />
'''Malev, Kandarin:''' After paying a jolly ferryman to cross the river Styx, a nice puppy with three heads licked my hand as I was escorted to a glass elevator. Proceeding from B1 to B7, I reached an opulent place made of gold. It seemed too small for the residents of the Rejected Realms to use, but as we approached, it appeared as if we shrunk, until the golden palace, called Pandemonium, was soaring over my zenith. As I approached the throne, I noticed a similarity to Republican Headquarters, but I dismissed the resemblance to such evil. I’m sure my host was a charming fellow.<br />

'''Issues and the Rejected Realms'''<br />
<br />
''Yvan Eht Nioj:'' “When the pilgrims landed in the New World, the first civic structure (after the church) was the jail. Even them, in all their holy goodness, needed a place to put the outcasts and refuse of society. After they filled up the jails, they filled up Rhode Island, but that’s another story. The Rejected Realms, then, is, first and foremost, a prison; a place where those who are on the wrong side of the law (or politics) are placed. However, when a bunch of outcasts are put together, they realize that they can create an army to retake their old homes. This was the founding of the Rejected Realms Army, which continues to this day.”<br />
<br />
Indeed, the RRA is still a major player in the defender community. A prime location, the RR’s regional happenings board informs players of political hotspots where ejections are happening. This allows the RR to remain at the forefront of the defender community. The Army also plays well with others. As a signatory to both the Alliance Defense Network and the Allied Liberation League, they, of course, help out in those defense missions, but they have been known to defend with TITO, RLA, GLA, and independently. The RRA is a beacon of activity in this region.<br />
<br />
''Inactivity / DEAT:'' Like all feeders, the Rejected Realms has a large portion of the population that chooses to stagnate. Unfortunately, the RR does not have the sheer numbers a Pacific does to support a large off-site forum. Of all the feeders, the RR is the smallest and the least active forum and government. In a sense, there really isn’t a government. “There is an off-site forum, but, in general, without an eject/ban button, there is no way to have a government. Governments are created by people who agree to surrender sovereignty in exchange for security. Without the means of enforcement, there would be no way to force a surrender of sovereignty to the government. Thus, we have a libertarian rule. All may do as they wish, and they will not be banned for it.”<br />
<br />
''The People's Democratic Party:'' The lack of activity, according to some, has spawned the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). It’s leader, Darius, claims that he is trying to bring choice and activity to a dying region, while detractors claim that he is an imperialists who is trying to take over an ejection-less region. There was a point where an invader group endorsed Darius, trying to unseat Kandarin, while then lead to a defender counter-response, buoying Kandarin far above Darius. This leads, of course, to the question: Does Kandarin have native support, or are outside forces keeping him in power. The answer: It doesn’t matter. As a feeder, all nations are natives of the Rejected Realms, and regardless on how Kandarin holds onto power, should there ever be a showdown in this ejectionless region, we’d simply have another NS WWI: Trench Warefare. While Darius left the UN to prove that he would not take endorsements from outside interests, opinion is still divided on the PDP.<br />
<br />
'''Relations with The North:''' As a libertarian region, there really are not relations with the North. In general, the official policy is laissez faire. “We will defend with them, if they choose to defend again, and while we root for their recovery, their affairs are not our own. If it all goes to RR in a handbasket, we have plenty of room for the displaced residents.”<br />

===Pierconium Appointed to ''The'' Pacific Senate (Oct. 17, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-appointed-to-senate-t2698.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Pierconium at his campaign headquarters after hearing the news''<br />
<br />
'''Capital City, ''The'' Pacific:''' From disgrace to triumph, Senator Pierconium, Grand Inquisitor of ''The'' Pacific, takes his seat on The Pantheon of Great Pacificans. On the Feast of St. Wenceslas Day, Pierconium has completed his trial by fire. Purified by the refiner’s flame, Senator Pierconium can resume the life-long journey of servitude that is a Senatorial Commission of ''The'' Pacific.<br />
<br />
The world can look at Comrade Pierconium's example and see the quality of men and women that ''The'' Pacific takes to its heart. After losing his commission for involving a puppet nation in the Pixiedance affair, Pierconium never left the Pacific. As the months passed, and the judicial system of the Pacific fell into disrepair and crisis, Comrade Pierconium continued to serve ''The'' Pacific with a humble countenance. His dedication lead to his appointment to Chief Justice once more.<br />
<br />
But this was not enough for a Comrade who cleansed the dirt that was left in his office by his predecessors. Pierconium re-established the Praetorian Guard, he cleansed ''The'' Pacific, and brought life to his region and his department. It is with great humility that Pierconium did his duties, and for many months, served his region loyally. Those are the foremost qualities that a Senator of The Pacific must possess… Loyalty and Servitude.<br />
<br />
On this day, the day that ''The'' Pacific withstood the glitch attack, showing that neither man nor machine can cause the downfall of ''The'' Pacific, the Senate selects a citizen to service. Invoking the Authority of Francos Spain, those he anointed, the Full Senate Assembled, by unanimous vote, grants a Senatorial Commission to Pierconium. He is now anointed as a steward and guardian of ''The'' Pacific. May he remember to place ''The'' Pacific before himself, and always carry the Spirit of the August Revolution forward, guided by the ideals of Peace, Strength, and Prosperity.<br />
<br />
Hail Pierconium, Senator of Justice of ''The'' Pacific!<br />

'''Formossa, Atlantic''' The mighty Atlantic, conqueror of Pacifics, Nationstates oldest military organization, has been liberated by the People’s Republic of ''The'' Pacific. This region was previously conquered by the Bloodmoon Empire, an invader organization that prides itself on the mistreatment of the natives. After receiving requests from the natives to help liberate them and secure the region, ''The'' Pacific, endorsing native Formossa, was able to help transfer power back to the residents of Atlantic. The new delegate’s first act was to unban all of the nations that were ejected by the raiders. Lt. Gordonel mustered the citizen soldiers and marched to Atlantic to end the tyranny.<br />
<br />
But then crisis erupted on the other side of the world. The West Pacific’s government had fallen, and martial law had occurred. The troops continued the fight in Atlantic, while waiting for the Senate to decide what would be done. Then, the call went out. Ranking Member of the Legitimate Government, Dilber, requested that foreign troops move in and support the Regent. While Lt. Gordonel would stay in Atlantic to oversee the battle, Lt. Risellia, master of tactics, ordered troops to disengage the enemy in the dead of winter, marched them around the world, and took up arms in the West.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for Atlantic, ''The'' Pacific left just enough troops to ensure victory, and Atlantic is now an independent region once more, with no nations on the ban list. Meanwhile, Pacific troops are endorsing West Pacific Regent Wickedly Evil People, and their numbers are growing by the hour.<br />
<br />
Today, we salute the brave men and women of the People’s Militia, and their ability to fight a two-front war.<br />

''A Pro-Constitution Demonstrator, protesting the Dominion''<br />
<br />
'''Administration Island, The West Pacific''': With shock and awe, the old West Pacific was torn down in a blaze of napalm. The old s8 forums have been struck down and rendered useless. The libraries of history are consumed in flames before the populace. Ashes and char are the only remnants of the former government.<br />
<br />
In its place is a new black monolith, home to The West Pacific Dominion. Here, new forums were created to replicate the old. The constitution, dissolved. The Assembly, disbanded. The democracy, destroyed.<br />
<br />
The West, according to Biyah, is now to be run by an ADN-based core, made of the following nations:<br />
<br />
''Biyah, Chainik Hocker, {{Strikethrough|Dilber}}, [[Gasponia in NationStates|Gaspo]], Halmont, Looming Doom, Minineenee, Shasoria, TAO, ZetaOne, Zorn-Uzkul''<br />
<br />
The most odd member of the Core is Gaspo, who held no office before the switch-over and was only a member of the Grand Assembly (every TWP nation with population over 100 million). He is, however, a member of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Dilber, however, has rejected being part of the Core, and has already formed a Rebellion to take back the forums and the region. The regent of the West, Wickedly Evil People (Puppet of Eli), has not been ejected, and is currently attempting to overtake Delegate Minineenee. Berphamore put out this statement today<br />
<br />
Berphamore @ Regional HQ wrote:<br />
We've been betrayed.<br />
<br />
Minineenee has dissolved the Constitution, closed the old forum and restricted access on this 'new' forum.<br />
<br />
If you want a voice in your own Region, The West Pacific, endorse Wickedly Evil People. He is the legal ruler now that Minineenee has turned from democracy to fascism.<br />
<br />
Fight tyranny<br />
<br />
Punish treachery<br />
<br />
Endorse Wickedly Evil People - the Regent and true ruler of the West Pacific<br />
<br />
Democracy is a STRENGTH<br />
<br />
In an interview with Rebel Leader Dilber, he informed PNN that the coup was a result of a think-tank to increase activity. He stated that the West was too stable, and stability leads to boredom. Thus, many decided that an overthrow of the government would be fun and lead to more activity.<br />
<br />
Biyah, leader of the West Pacific Dominion (the new regime), posted this announcement for his reasoning.<br />
<br />
Biyah wrote:<br />
Announcement:<br />
<br />
It has been noted by many that The West Pacific has stagnated; interest has waned and the government is simply not drawing the interest that it could. We government officials of The West Pacific have noted this problem time and time again.<br />
<br />
No easy answer has presented itself and thus, we feel that we must take drastic measures.<br />
<br />
Therefore we the Chosen declare that the West Pacific constitutional government is dissolved, the constitution dismissed, and the region placed in a state of Martial Law. From the ashes of the Constitutional Government, The West Pacific Dominion is hereby born.<br />
<br />
The new legislative body of the WPD, the Core of the Dominion, has agreed to this change in government and fully endorses it. We Chosen assume full responsibility for the fair and impartial running of the region until such time as a new government may be installed.<br />
<br />
[snip]...[/snip]<br />
<br />
Former Administrators, Global Moderators and persons of government import not listed in the Core are hereby stripped of their positions. Those that wish to continue their service to The West Pacific may do so after this initial action, but be aware that each department head will have his or her own standards to which you must adhere. We are in a state of martial law and our attitude will reflect this state.<br />
<br />
Those of you with positions not covered by the current Core members will deal directly with me, The Consul, for your positions. It should also be noted that legislative bodies such as the former Grand Assembly and Council do not exist within the Dominion, so basic Council and GA members will not be able to resume their duties at this time. It is entirely possible that the Core of the Dominion will expand, and/or that an assembly of Citizens will be formed, at a later time.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific Dominion has contacted a number of regions that hold alliances we consider essential to our regional well being, a list shall be provided at a later date with their relative status. Those that have not been deemed essential to The West Pacific’s regional safety shall be re-examined at the first available opportunity and our final decision will be delivered promptly. Those regions wishing to know the status of our deliberations need only contact Minister ZetaOne, the head of our Foreign Diplomatic Corps.<br />
<br />
Finally, there is now a 25% endorsement total cap in place for The West Pacific. Everyone over this total has 24 hours to drop UN status or leave for an update before they are banned for one update to clear the endorsements. Please note that any bid for the delegacy will be met with the strongest possible consequences. This cap will remain in place until further notice.<br />
<br />
Welcome to the brave new world!<br />
<br />
~Biyah, Consul of the Dominion - With the voice of the entire Core of the Dominion<br />
<br />
Considering the new endorsement cap, and also considering the Regent is above it, Dilbert stated that he expects the purges to happen tonight. If they do occur, the first nation ejected would probably be Regent Eli, who had this to say:<br />
<br />
''Eli (right), asking for aid at the ASE, with EuroSoviets looking on''<br />
<br />
Eli @ The Allied States of EuroIslanders wrote:<br />
Greetings Friends,<br />
<br />
I come today with a heavy heart as a blanket of oppression has descended over The West Pacific today. A self serving minority recruited from far and wide within the NS world and domestically within TWP has declared martial law and has in fact assumed power in a lawless, unprecedented act aimed at achieving power for the few over the many. Heed not their protestations of good intent observe the method of the tyrant. Closes the assembly place of the legally selected legislators and Councillors. Ask for the permission or the deference of the ADN alliance that the power grab will go uncontested. Fire all government officials deemed untrustworthy.<br />
<br />
I as the former Regent of that government, my nation is Wickedly Evil People in TWP, demand that the Junta cede power to reform the government to the legally selected Grand Assembly and to the Council. That the Dictator Biyah resign and that a caretaker Prime Minister be selected. I would advocate that Shasoria accept that role as one trusted by all.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough, the only embassies remaining are Nasicouria’s, the Alliance Defense Network’s, and the Allied States of EuroIslander’s. While many were expecting the ADN and RLA to fight to overthrow the government, Pope Hope has thrown their arms open to the new regime, while EuroSoviets hoping for "a continued allied relationship." Despite the fact that both regions claim that they “love democracy” and would “fight to defend the constitution and legitimate government of the West Pacific,” it is clear that both of these Alliances view the West Pacific as a tool to be used for its resources. As long as the Dominion swears allegiance to the ADN (as they have), these Userite organizations will continue to prop-up the Dominion. Senator Unlimited stated that “this is further proof that the Userites do not care about democracy or the well-being of the Pacifics. They see us as human charcoal for their war machines and imperialist rule.”<br />
<br />
The Pacific, as always, has opened its boarders to political refugees and those wishing to flee the events unfolding in the West. <br />
<br />
'''*Nov 3, 2005 UPDATE*'''<br />
<br />
The Original West Pacific Forums are back up and running. The r00t is retired nation Lanier. Resistance leader Dilber suspects that someone was able to contact him, and he has restored the forums. PNN will keep you posted as this story unfolds.<br />
<br />
'''*Nov 3, 2005 UPDATE*'''<br />
<br />
It appears as if Eli's, Dilber's and Berphamore's pleas have been answered by the ASE and the RLA. Statements taken by ranking officals indicated that they will stand by the constitutionalists and the regent, and they will fight the Core and the Dominion.<br />
<br />
Xha'dam @ ASE wrote:<br />
Comrade Dilber, you have my full support. The ASE has stood by the West Pacific too long to abandon her in her darkest hour. We will fight as long as the WPD draws breath and we will not cease until freedom is restored. You have my word on this.<br />

===Pierconium speaks! (Nov. 12, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-speaks-t2926.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Gordonel<br />
<br />
''Pierconium, Senator of Justice, speaks openly in his interview with PNN reporter Gordonel''<br />
<br />
'''PNN Interview office, The Pacific.'''<br />
''This is the first of a two-part interview - It should also be noted that the majority of answers for this interview are OOC and from the perspective of the player behind the nations and not from the nations themselves.''<br />
<br />
------------------------------- Part 1 -------------------------------<br />
''I guess the easiest place to start is at the beginning, how did you come across Nationstates, and where did you go when you got here?''<br />
<br />
Well, I found NationStates.net as a link on a gaming forum. I don’t recall the game right now. My first nation was created in The Pacific, it was the only feeder then, in the very early part of 2003 (possibly the last part of 2002), about 2 months after the game was launched. I stuck to the internal aspects of the game only. I did some swapping, answered some issues and observed a few events and then got a RL job promotion so I gave up the game in late spring. After about 3-4 months I found the game again linked on the Rise of Nations gameplay forum. I created Borogravia Moldavi and moved to Sparrow in September 2003. Involvement in Sparrow led to much more interaction than my previous experience did and I stuck with the game.<br />
<br />
''Which would you consider - at the time - was your 'main' region?''<br />
<br />
Borogravia Moldavi was my main nation and remains one of my most prominent and recognizable nations in the game. Other nations have taken precedent in other arenas, Pierconium in The Pacific, Greater Moldavi in The Meritocracy and Gracius Maximus in The North Pacific have all had distinctly different “careers” in the game.<br />
<br />
''New Sparrow was an ADN region at first, right? What was your position in the ADN back then?''<br />
<br />
Sparrow applied to join the ADN in October 2003. I was the Regional UN Delegate at the time and represented Sparrow to the Alliance Defense Network. After Sparrow was griefed in December and we (the remnant nations) formed New Sparrow we maintained our position in the ADN. “Moldavi” rose relatively quickly through the rank structure to eventually become Attorney General, Secretary of State and an advisor and admin on the ADN forums.<br />
<br />
''And how did these positions fit in with your Senator status in The Meritocracy?''<br />
<br />
Well, to be honest, I learned of the Meritocracy via interaction on the ADN forum. I applied and the ADN influence that was already prevalent in the Senate bolstered my vote and I entered easily. It was a blessing and a curse. It was difficult to see the ADN bias in the Senate at a later date when I was no longer enamored with their policies and to know that I played a small part in its initial establishment.<br />
<br />
''Since this time, both New Sparrow and the Meritocracy have collapsed (The Meritocracy being re-born), What was your reasoning for shutting down New Sparrow?''<br />
<br />
New Sparrow suffered from perfection. After nearly two years of constant legislation to create what the citizens viewed as a perfect example of representative democracy in a player created region we achieved it. Then we got lazy. Recruitment dropped because we didn’t want to risk including an unstable element in the region. Forum activity dropped and eventually the population dropped. The core group of players started to dwindle as people moved on with RL, etc. Eventually it was just a handful of nations, some active, some not, all just sitting in a stagnant region. Some of us moved on to other activities. The rest decided to leave the game. It should be noted that some of the older Sparrow nations have started moving back to the original Sparrow region and are currently, slowly, working on rebuilding it. I am not taking a primary role in that endeavor at present however.<br />
<br />
''And your thoughts on the end of The Meritocracy? And the re-incarnation that exists now?''<br />
<br />
I believe The Meritocratic Senate could have withstood the mass defections and could have weathered the storm, as it had in the past. Unfortunately the Founder did not give it that chance. The current Senate is slowly starting to resemble the Senate of old but I believe it still has a long way to go. The recent activity is promising though. The first few months of the new Senate have been less than impressive overall, in my opinion, as I have shared with some.<br />
<br />
''Your loyalty and activity now seem to be entirely focused in The Pacific, This wasn't always the case, what sort of opposition did you receive when you originally announced you had joined the PRP/NPO?''<br />
<br />
Well, on some fronts it was a mixed bag. Since Pierconium joined The Pacific as a spy for the ADN it was not really a surprise overall to some that I “announced” membership in the NPO. It was quite a test of my gaming resolve in the Meritocracy in particular however. While some maintained the ideals of merit many took my IC support of a dynamic totalitarian regime as a personal attack and felt the need to respond in kind. These Senators displayed the true nature of the Meritocracy for me. That is wasn’t meritocratic unless it fit into their political ideology. The nations in Sparrow, almost always observant of the concepts of duality, had very little reaction overall. Two nations left for other ADN regions but they were suspected of being internal spies. Several nations sent me congratulations. Some sent hate-mail. That is the nature of the game.<br />
<br />
''You were appointed Senator of Justice just after the founding of the PRP, in later 2004. What positions had you held previously in the Pacific?''<br />
<br />
I served as Governor of the Victory Province (V) under Francos Spain and was appointed Interim High Judge of the Pacific after Poskrebyshev left the game.<br />
<br />
''Before we move onto your Pacifican times, I'd like to question you about what you might perhaps think of as a blotch on your Nationstates Career. The story of Pixiedance, the NPD and The North Pacific. How did the situation there begin?''<br />
<br />
Well, first, it was not a blotch. I consider the successful, for however long, control of a feeder region during a tumultuous time of unrest to be a high mark on any career. Admittedly there were mistakes made, primarily in staffing, but overall it was a success, in my opinion. That being said, Gracius Maximus led a relatively quiet life in the north for most of its existence, with a period of time as a cte nation. After the resignation of the Minister of Justice in December 2004 Gracius Maximus was appointed by the Delegate to serve in this capacity. The methodology and tactics that led up to this particular appointment along with some subsequent actions will be discussed in more detail in some of my Pacific University courses in the future.<br />
<br />
''And before taking control of Pixiedance, what was your involvement in The North Pacific?''<br />
<br />
Gracius Maximus served as Deputy Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice, heading up the shortlived constitutional convention that marked the end of that governments era.<br />
<br />
''And (If any) involvement/thoughts on the Great Bight/UPS rail affair?''<br />
<br />
Pierconium took part in some of the debate on whether Great Bight constituted a legitimately elected “native” delegate. Borogravia Moldavi ordered SECO (New Sparrow’s military) into the region to bolster Great Bight because it believed that the sitting Delegate, who was elected via the endorsement of “native” north Pacific nations was the legitimate Delegate and that others, namely the ADN and ALL, were invading the region. SECO was acting in a defensive capacity in the face of “devader” aggression.<br />
<br />
''How would you describe your reign in The North Pacific? What were you hoping to achieve, and did you?''<br />
<br />
Ordered comes to mind. It was efficient. My initial hopes were to establish an orderly regime that would bring peace to what had become a fractured region. That failed because of continued outside interference and certain rogue elements that refused to accept the Directorates direction. Ultimately it developed more into a desire to create something memorable NS-wise. And while it was not the NPO and may not have reached the legendary status of some groups in NS history I believe it will be remembered, for good or bad, and that was my ultimate goal.<br />
<br />
''Who were the ones that fought against you more than any others? Do you think they were justified in fighting against you? What do you think of the way they did it?''<br />
<br />
The north Pacific underground movement was the primary opposition to the Directorate. Several outside organizations voiced condemnation but could accomplish little in the way of real opposition. Puppetmaster II: The Wrath of Ivan was planned by the ADN but the weeks of planning came to naught as ten minutes of ejecting on the part of the Delegate totally dismembered their cause. Equilism, the Meritocracy and the west Pacific all issued proclamations against the NPD but did little to help with the unseating effort. It should be noted that the west did provide the underground with some interesting intel but that was the extent of their effectiveness. As to whether or not they were justified, I say yes and no. No in that Pixiedance was the regional Delegate according to all game admin and moderation and game rules and mechanics, so the outcries of cheating and/or illegitimacy were in error, in my opinion. Yes in that an arrogant bastard had come in from relative regional obscurity, turned their community on end and started telling them how to live within their own region. I would have fought against that too most likely.<br />

''Gordonel (center) being lead to his court martial by Sedarva (right) and Desetland (left).''<br />
<br />
'''Superior Court, ''The'' Pacific:''' Standing alone and refusing council, Gordonel pleaded guilty to Title 4, section 402 of The Pacific Penal Code: Falsifying evidence or attempting to subvert the criminal justice system. He stated that he received a screenshot showing Pope Hope ordering 1838 to infiltrate the Pacific Army. However, the screen shot was later proved to be doctored. Gordonel refused to reveal his source, and thus, plead guilty.<br />
<br />
High Justice of the Pacific, Senator Pierconium, took recess over the weekend after the plea was issued. It was accepted on Monday, and the judge ruled that Gordonel would be stripped of his status in the Praetorian Guard. While the maximum penalty was life banishment from ''The'' Pacific, the high judge noted his service record, and instead removed him from the annuls of the Praetorian.<br />
<br />
Gordonel issued an apology to 1838 and the region for using false evidence, and while he feels not completely guilty, accepts that he has done a grave injustice to the region. This brings an end to this chapter in Pacific justice that attracted the attention of many international personalities. The High Queen of Pope Hope, not to be confused with the out of character person of [name withheld] publically commented that the court proceedings in ''The'' Pacific were done in a "professional manner." Senator of Administration Warrior Thorin stated that "''The'' Pacific takes its citizen's actions very seriously, and while we respect the rights of the accused, we also respect the rights of those wronged. Today, justice has been served."<br />

===TNP Take 4: Twoslit Ruins Everything (Nov. 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/tnp-take-4-t3025.html</ref>===<br />

''Hersfold’s vehicle is prepared to leave his home forum for greener pastures.''<br />
<br />
'''Magicality City, The North Pacific:''' It has been said that nothing is harder to understand than quantum theory. Fortunately for the layman, Richard Feynman created the Two Slits Experiment to help us understand wave/particle duality. One basic premise in quantum theory, is the uncertainty and absurdity of it all, best illustrated by Schrödinger’s Cat. Indeed, the Two Slits Experiment is a window into the madness that is randomness and chance. Pity, then, that the Twoslits Experiment is the root administrator of The North Pacific forums.<br />
<br />
That randomness and instability has come to a head (once again) and is at odds with the democratically elected government of The North Pacific. On the floor of the Regional Assembly, Hersfold, now former administrator of The North Pacific forums, filed a grievance against Twoslits unilateral actions, stating that he had put the security of the region in peril and he had subverted the will of the government. (emphasis added by PNN)<br />
<br />
You will notice that I no longer carry the five-star Admin badge I have had for the past few days. <snip>Recently, The twoslit experiment changed the way our government was organized. By placing Deputy Ministers in the Cabinet Minister's permission mask, he opened a wide hole in our region's security. Deputies suddenly had access to the secured Cabinet Forum, where issues critical to our region are discussed and voted on. Fedele, '''a known raider''', suddenly '''had access to the NPA forum''', an area to which '''he was expressly forbidden access by the MoIIA'''.<br />
<snip><br />
I requested that Twoslit stop changing member groups without discussing with the government first. In reply, I received a threatening message telling me to desist administrative activity, or risk demotion.<br />
<br />
Hersfold then went on to call for the relocation of the TNP home forum from the s2 to parts unknown.<br />
<br />
I have long been a supporter of this forum. This is not the first time Twoslit has angered the masses. But now... when the Head of this forum so boldly goes against our Government's wishes... when he so endangers the security and freedom we have fought for, long and hard... when he throws the operation of this region as a community into chaos... it is time to move on.<br />
<br />
The Cabinet Members I have spoken to agree with me on this. '''This forum can no longer be a home for our region.''' It is no longer safe, when we have a dictator more powerful than one in the Delegate seat. One who can destroy our community with a series of clicks.<br />
<br />
At the time of this writing, the call for moving the home forum has been met with total adulation. Many who voted to stay during last summer now support the move to a new forum. Government officials, citizens, and raiders have declared that a free north can not exist with the Two Slits Experiment as root admin. While many are sad to leave “Old Blue,” the largest forum in NS history, the general populace is accepting of the move and look forward to a fresh beginning in a new and glorious land. The North understands more than any of us the cost of freedom; They suffered under UPS Rail, under Great Blight, under Pixiedance, under Stars, until finally, they could choose their destiny. But now, they have found that their battle is only half over. While The North Pacific is their home, their off-site forum is their soul. It represents their memory, their hopes, their dreams, and desires. In order for The North be free in the future, they may have to abandoned their past.<br />

===ADN Spy Attempts Infiltration of TSP? (Dec. 1, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/adn-spy-attempts-to-infiltrate-tsp-t3067.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Mallancashire, above, attempts to win election as Sec. of Intel of The South Pacific''<br />
<br />
'''Chupa, The South Pacific''': The South Pacific has finished wrapping up its elections, but it was recently revealed that there was a sinister plot of an outside force to become a member of the Cabinet. The position in question was that of Secretary of Intel, which is the director of TSP Intel Agency. One week before the election, Miss Tessmacher, current Secretary of Intel, told PNN that they had received information that an Alliance operative would try and infiltrate the TSP cabinet for the purpose of withdrawing the South from the Pacific Cooperation Organization.<br />
<br />
TSP Sec. of Intel Miss Tessmacher wrote:<br />
Our source is of the highest calibre, and has been confirmed by two major NS personalities, who cannot be named. The ADN is trying to infiltrate our region.<br />
<br />
Events then unfolded that pointed the finger at UN nation and recent arrival “Mallancashire.”<br />
<br />
Suspicions arouse about Mallancashire after he lost the election and promptly left forum activity. A cursory search for the missing nation showed he turned up at The Grenvali United, an Alliance-member region. This lead to further investigation, which revealed Mallancashire uses a proxy server and has a dead e-mail address. Miss Tessmacher then told PNN that Mallancashire’s election bid came on the same day he registered on the forums, 9 days ago.<br />
<br />
PNN then contacted in character persona of the High Queen of Pope Hope, not to be confused with the out of character person of [name withheld] for comment:<br />
<br />
ADN Director Pope Hope wrote:<br />
… I can immediately offer my assurances that the ADN has no knowledge of any undercover operation in TSP. Furthermore, we have absolutely no interest in "spying" on TSP, a neutral region which in fact has long been friendly to many of our member regions and to the ADN itself. If a member of an ADN region has been engaging in nefarious activities towards any friendly and/or neutral region, I expect their regional leadership to deal with that individual appropriately."<br />
<br />
Regardless of who sent Mallancashire, there is little doubt that he was attempting to gain access to the South Pacific’s cabinet and intelligence records. Senator Unlimited of the Pacific stated that “the userites are crawling over themselves to prove the Francoists right. They use the democratic process to gain control of the feeders.” Indeed, registering and applying for office the same day usually raises red flags. The question, then, is Mallancashire a smart noob (proxy server/dead email) or a bad spy (no emoticons or posts).<br />
<br />
Grenval, founder of The Grenvali United (current home of Mallancashire), stated that if ADN operatives were spying on The South Pacific, they would have been much better than Mallancashire. Blackbird, Secretary of State for the Alliance, strongly denied any link between Mallancashire and the Alliance.<br />
<br />
ADN Sec. of State Blackbird wrote:<br />
I have no idea [why TSP thinks we were infiltrating them]. As Secretary of State, and as a Director on the Board of Directors of the Alliance Intelligence Agency, I can say in no uncertain terms that the ADN has nothing but goodwill towards the South Pacific. Respectfully, the ADN is entirely unconcerned with the PCO. We fight invaders. Anything anyone else does isn't something we concern ourselves with…However, The ADN is investigating this person from our end, to determine whether or not they are a spy, and if so, for whom.<br />
<br />
Rumors of this are already spreading across Nationstates. Grenval stated that Gates, founder of Gatesville, asked if his region was invading The South Pacific. Currently, PNN can verify that no ADN troops have overtly moved into the South Pacific. The one person who sparked this controversy, Mallancashire, could not be reached for comment by publication date.<br />
-----<br />
'''December 7, 2005 UPDATE'''<br />
<br />
PNN has been able to contact the leader of Mallancashire and asked him if he was an Alliance spy. His responce:<br />
<br />
Mallancashire wrote:<br />
HAHAHA! are you serious?. No i'm not i've just moved from the South pacific region and will be withdrawing from the running for the cabinet position, the parliament for Mallancashire has been on holiday during the celebration of our national day so no changes have been made to our political aspects during this time. Sorry i have no further comments to make.<br />

===RLA Destroys Invader's Board (Dec. 6, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/rla-destroys-invader-39-s-board-t3096.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
''<br />
The RLA boasts of its third invader board destroyed.''<br />
<br />
'''Boston Creamer, Invaders:''' On December 2, 2005, operatives of the Red Liberty Alliance were poised to complete the last steps of an infiltration operation: They had already taken copies of important correspondence, recovered the non-official cover list, had the dossier on every Invader agent, and had planted the nuclear bomb. The operatives used their clearance cards to leave the headquarters in a De Soto staff car, and made it past the boarder guard three hours before the explosion.<br />
<br />
With Intel in hand and another notch on their belts, the RLA issued a press release written by Ketoprofen and The Red Factions and edited by Blackbird, Director of the RLA. The [https://nationstatestpc.proboards.com/thread/1549/rlai-surgical-strike-carried-out article] boasted that “IP’s had been secured” and that “the boards had been taken over by defenders from the Red Liberty Alliance and the Alliance Defense Network.” Many found it curious that the RLA would conduct a joint operation with the ADN after the Alliance outed an RLA member who had ascended to the position of Field Marshal of a major invader army. Indeed, all Alliance members that PNN has contacted have expressed outrage over the operation and have denied any involvement. ADN Secretary of State Blackbird confirmed that “The ADN was not involved at all. The ADN and RLA have not conducted joint operations since the repeal of the Alliance between them.”<br />
<br />
Regardless, the destruction of the boards has not proven popular among the greater defender community. Biyah and Shasoria, who recently locked down the West Pacific’s home forums, are very vocal opponents against the move. Biyah stated that “The tactic is disgusting. As a defender, I am appalled. As a net-lurker who lives and breathes the net, had that been a forum under my control, I would have carted your rear to the FBI by now for hacking and destruction of property.” Shasoria echoed the statements:<br />
<br />
Shasoria wrote:<br />
I'm sorry, but this is just wrong.<br />
<snip><br />
What, do you want similar tactics to be used against us? This is the equivilent, imo, of using biological or chemical warfare. This is disgusting.<br />
<br />
Despicable. This goes too far. I for one cannot support the use of these tactics.<br />
<br />
The Red Factions (whom PNN will cautiously classify as some sort of Proletariat Coalition member without standing to speak for any region, person, or group) has stated that all actions taken were legal and within the bounds of the terms of service for Nationstates and Invisionfree. Here is the outline of the operation:<br />
<br />
The Red Factions @ The West Pacfic wrote:<br />
Just for the record, Invaders appointed one of our owns ( Ketoprofen ) to the position of Captain of War and board admin approximately 1.5 month ago. He managed to collect several IP's but the other admins were quick enough to halt the destruction. They were lucky. This time, the job was finished.<br />
<br />
The “trigger” for the “nuclear bomb” rested in the invasion of an RLA member region. The RLA asked that they stop their “gloating and provocations.” When they did not, the operatives decided to destroy the Invaders’ forums.<br />
<br />
As for the outrage in the defender community, The Red Factions and Ketoprofen insisted that their actions were just and “OKed” by leading defenders such as {{Strikethrough|Dilber and}} Blackbird. Sources inside the RLA, however, tell a different story. Apparently, The Red Factions presented a plan to Blackbird (director of RLA intelligence) and it was approved. However, the plan did not include the destruction of the Invader’s boards. In fact, the RLAI training manual explicitly forbids the destruction of message boards. To understand the scope of what was lost, Domination spoke about the loss:<br />
<br />
Domination wrote:<br />
We lost nearly 17,000 posts on our forums. Some wern't even considered useful for intel. Many accounts that wern't even active, but had a sense of history to them deleted, and never will be able to return. Many new players that are interested in the game that came to us migh not come back. Though that is all what the RLA wanted.<br />
<br />
The Heights went on about the loss of the forums:<br />
<br />
The Heights wrote:<br />
The military and intelligence information lost was limited and unimportant.<br />
<br />
What was truly lost was our community. The agents deleted our Discussion forum, containing threads of regional importance from the very beginning. The agents deleted our Welcoming and News forums, losing numerous posts of historical and communal value. The agents deleted our General Discussion board - our OOC board - containing thousands upon thousands of posts completely unrelated to this game, NationStates.<br />
<br />
Director of RLA Intelligence, Blackbird, has condemned the actions and clearly stated that destroying a home forum is against the RLAI manual. Action has already been taken against The Red Factions. An investigation is being launched by the Executive Committee of the RLA with Lanier of the West Pacific as an outside observer.<br />
<br />
However, the Red Factions struck first, resigning every position he held in the game before legal action could be taken against him. He stated that he believes his actions were just, and asked for forgiveness. On the likelihood of being brought back into the fold, Blackbird stated, in an exclusive interview with PNN, that he “would be the last one to welcome him back home. This is one event in a long line of insubordination.”<br />
<br />
According to Blackbird, the Red Factions told him that an invader admin defected and was going to torch the forum, and TRF needed permission to harvest the IPs. Blackbird agreed, since he could not keep a rogue admin from destroying the place. However, when it became apparent that it was RLA agents who were pulling the strings, he immediately called for the operation to stop, but the operation continued.<br />
<br />
Boston Creamer, however, has a different take on the incident<br />
<br />
Boston Creamer wrote:<br />
The RLA is trying to save face by blaming TRF for everything. We know it's not all him. They are trying to escape everyone seeing them for who they really are and he's moving his nations to the RR now. No action can be taken without Blackbird's approval. Look at what they did to us in DEN and how they bragged so much. They tried to brag again but no one liked it so instead of getting promoted as he has in the past TRF has been forced out so they have one person to blame to save themselves from going down in flames! Don't let them fool the world! The RLA griefed you like they did us before you! >:-(<br />
<br />
Hopefully, there will be a way for the Invaders to recover some of their lost history, and hopefully, the investigation disclose exactly what happened and who is to blame for the destruction of this community.<br />

<br />
''TWP Attorney General Berhampore at a press conference outside the Court of The West Pacific''<br />
<br />
'''Administration Island, The West Pacific'': With the closing of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission due to legal issues (the committee's lack of power of pardon), the attorney general of the West Pacific, Berhampore, has brought charges against various members of “The Core,” a group of individuals who attempted to move the West Pacific forums and declare martial law. Those who have charges against them are as follows<br />
<br />
{{Underline|ZetaOne}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Biyah}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Chainik Hocker}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Halmont}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Looming Doom}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Gaspo}}: Violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific.<br />
{{Underline|Zorn-uzkul}}: Violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific.<br />
{{Underline|Minineenee}}: Violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
As is the law of The West Pacific, a gag order has been placed on all prosecutors, defendants, lawyers, judges, bailiffs, and anyone connected with the trials, limiting comment that PNN has access to.<br />
<br />
However, the charges did spark cries of constitutionality and injustice by ZetaOne and Biyah. ZetaOne, along with Minineenee, Zorn Uzkul, and Gaspo, have fled the West Pacific before charges were filed, and are inquiring how charges can be brought against them when they no longer reside in the West.<br />
<br />
There is also the question of the three members of the Core who were not charged, namely, Dilber, Shasoria, and TAO, all cabinet-level members of the West Pacific Government. When asked why the Attorney General was not charging these members, Berhampore stated that<br />
<br />
Berhampore @ Courthouse wrote:<br />
While Dilber and other nations did participate in the Think Tank that produced the Dominion, that is not a crime. No one will be charged for expressing their thoughts or for their associations (i.e. membership in a particular forum).<br />
<br />
Other nations did indeed express the desire to join the Dominion after the Announcement that dissolved the legal government. While questionable logically and morally, questionable logic and morality is not a crime in and of itself.<br />
<br />
The charges apply to active violations as filed. Ideas are not crimes, actions are.<br />
<br />
In retaliation, Biyah has brought forth charges against Berhampore and Dilber<br />
<br />
Biyah @ Courthouse wrote:<br />
I hereby bring charges against Berhampore and Dilber for abuse of power, harassment and continuing their jobs under an obvious conflict of interest.<br />
<br />
Dilber's job is to direct Berhampore in who to press charges on in the name of TWP, yet he is a member of the Former Core and one of three FC members not indicted.<br />
<br />
That only segments of the Core were indicted suggests harassment, false-immunity on the part of the Cabinet Members. This same action also suggests an abuse of power, using their positions to protect the Cabinet while the rest of the Core is put on trial.<br />
<br />
Berhampore has recused himself, and Assistant Attorney General Lanier will be conducting the investigation.<br />
<br />
Ringmaster of this event is Hipposhire, Chief Justice of the West Pacific. While it appears that the Justice is being objective, fair, and holding to the letter of the law, even his objectivity has been called into question, as he was, according to Biyah “a member of the resistance against the Core.” If all people who were either for or against the Core had to recuse themselves, it begs the question who would be left to conduct a trial? Indeed, many regions in the game expressed a preference for one type of government or another, so a motion for a change of venue would leave many wondering where a neutral third party with knowledge of the West Pacific’s legal system could be found. In all probablility, the West will keep this in house, and PNN will be there to record the sound and fury of Nationstates trial de jour.<br />

===Kaseland expelled from the Order of Gryphons! (Dec. 22, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/kaselande-expelled-from-the-order-of-gryphons-t3202.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By The New Duce<br />
<br />
''Biyah (center) the arbiter of justice, moral leader and knight-commander of the Gryphons, just after expelling Kaselande (rear left).''<br />
<br />
South Pacific Chapter, Order of Gryphons:<br />
<br />
“For actions unbecoming a Gryphon, I hereby strip Kaselande of Title and position.<br />
<br />
Kaselande was discovered as a spy in Nasicournia for the PRP and TSP, and was also accused of unmeritious actions within TWP.<br />
<br />
That is all<br />
~B”<br />
<br />
And so, it has ended. The former chapter master from the South Pacific, Kaselande, the one member of this chapter that strived to increase membership of that region in the order, has been expelled by Viceroy Biyah. Biyah used his power as acting Knight-Commander to unilaterally expel Kaselande, citing Kaselande’s operation in Nasicournia as a motive for expulsion (PNN is obliged to point out the error in Biyah’s accusation, as The South Pacific was never involved in this assignment). It is also to be noted that Biyah admitted to spying in the past.<br />
<br />
Some members of the Order of Gryphons were not so happy with the decision. Freedom and Pride questioned his removal without trial and posted a defense on Kaselande’s behest. The former member disavowed the seemingly weak charges laid before him by the Viceroy, which basically surmounted to “being exceptionally rude” and “making an ass out of himself”. PNN contacted TAO, Prime Minister of the West Pacific, who denied that the region seeks to pursue legal actions against Kaselande.<br />
<br />
The issue between Biyah and Kaselande is between Biyah and Kaselande. As it regards TWP, the issue is an extra-regional affair and has no merit in TWP.<br />
<br />
Ivanhoe, another Gryphon, accused Biyah of attempting to hand over the keys of the organization to the ADN. These rumours were denied by the acting Knight-Commander, who proceeded to reassert his authority, having been challenged by a Knight who declared him a “self-appointed leader”. The echoes of the West Pacific Dominion incident have also reached the Order of Gryphons, as knight Thorncraftland reminded Biyah of Kaselande’s support of his actions in the Core.<br />
<br />
The Order of Gryphons is a decaying organization, whose shrinking membership has been plunged into inactivity. Viceroy Biyah himself declared the organization in a state of emergency not so long ago. After this occurrence, it is most likely that the South Pacific chapter of this order will be closed.<br />
<br />
Expelling active members (on this case a former High Council member) is, perhaps, not the best way to boost activity once again, especially when it seems this action was motivated by allegiances that lie beyond the Order.<br />

===Francoism in Action (Nov. 3, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/francoism-in-action-t2857.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
'''The West Pacific - November 3, 2005'''<br />
<br />
''Many people think that Francoism is a form of government, which it is not. Francoism is a tool of analysis used to explain why things happen the way they do. It is a model that shows the course of NS feeder governments, and it explains the conflict that occurs in the feeder regions. This article will apply the Francoism model to the situation in the West Pacific so that the readers may better understand Francoism, what happened in the West, and how to prevent instability and strife.''<br />
<br />
'''Background:''' On November 3, 2005, a faction of government of the West Pacific declared that the constitution was dissolved, and that martial law would be in effect. The region would be run by “the core” until a democratic constitutional convention could be held. In the interim, the s8 forums, home to the West, were shut down and all government activity was moved to the s14 forums, home of the West Pacific Dominion. Dilber (Former Prime Minister), Berphamore (former Delegate) and Eli aka Wickedly Evil People (Current Regent), asked the world to help out the Dominion from power and called for a return to constitutional rule. The Alliance Defense Network, Nasicouria, and the Allied States of EuroIslanders were the only regions to have established embassies on s14, and all were calling for peace and good relations with the Dominion. After intense debate on the ASE forums, the ASE retracted their support of the Dominion, and stated that they would fight to re-instate the Constitutionalists. The RLA also threw their support behind Dilber, Berphamore, and Eli. ADN director Pope Hope stated that the Alliance would protect the West from any foreign troops, implying she would back the Dominion should RLA or Pacific forces support Eli.<br />
<br />
Lanier, retired West Pacific hero and r00t of s8, was contacted and he restored the s8 forums from lockdown. The human outcry and political pressure from outside the region and inside lead the Dominion to dissolve. Biyah, Prime Minister, left for Nasicouria. ZetaOne, Former Delegate, retired. Minineenee, current delegate, resigned from the UN. At the time of this writing, the ranking cabinet member is Dilber (Secretary of Defense) and he will most likely head the government until elections can be called to replace the cabinet.<br />
<br />
'''The Failure of Democracy:''' When James Madison wrote the Constitution of the United States of America, he did so with the knowledge that every other democracy had failed, and tyranny rose up. He made the executive so weak that General Washington had to get senate approval to use his chamber pot.<br />
<br />
My, how times have changed. Now American presidents can conduct wars if they call it a “Police Action,” (or don’t tell anyone they’re doing it). Thomas Jefferson himself noted that the tree of liberty would have to be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots. Democracies are a cycle of boom and bust, freedom and tyranny, chaos and stagnation.<br />
<br />
It was stagnation that created the think-tank. Several high ranking members of the West Pacific government congregated to discuss the lack of activity in the region. Some called for a change of government using mechanisms provided by the constitution, while others called for a change from outside of the constitution. However, more people felt that the problem with the West was the constitution itself. In researching the “why,” I found the following quote from the last leader of The Core: (Source)<br />

The Constitution was an incredible document, touting years of work by some of the most talented of people. Yet we were becoming trapped in our own constitution, if you would.

<br />
As with any feeder region in NS that has a constitution, the leaders could sense that something was wrong. The region could not change to meet the needs of the citizenry because the ruling cadre was bound by a dead document. Democracies focus on the ''procedures'' of government rather than the ''outcomes'' of governments. To many democrats, democracy is an end. The West had its democracy, but the products of their government were diminishing. As more procedures and protocols were added to the government, many felt burdened by them. It was more important to get the necessary votes and legislation than to actually do something. This is why “the Core” moved to the new forums. They kept calling for a clean slate. Very few new nations could walk into the West and figure out the labyrinth of government and process that had been created. This was the seed of thought that lead to the core and the dissolution of the constitution: The West had become clogged with bureaucracy, and a new government free of the stifling procedure was needed.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the process to change the government was ALSO choked with bureaucracy. While ''The'' Pacific changes yearly to ensure that the Republic is properly serving the residents of ''The'' Pacific, The West had not had a spring cleaning since the second constitutional convention. The only way to “save” the West from the bureaucrats was to erase it all in one fell swoop. No vote. No legislation. No debate. No procedure. No protocol. Just action.<br />
<br />
'''The Userite Influence and the Corruption of the Intent'''<br />
<br />
So, in the eyes of the leaders, the West was stagnating due to the constitution and layers of bureaucracy those years of democracy had piled on (which is the eventual fate of all feeder democracies according to Francoism). So, to create a new government, the leaders would consolidate power among a core cadre that would protect the region as it shifted from its current form to its new form: A tabla rasa free from bureaucracy. However, for this step to succeed, the ruling cadre must ''put the region first''. If the ruling cadre acts for the Userites or themselves, the ruling cadre will cease to be Feederites, and become Userites. This will create conflict with the feederite class, and lead to the downfall of the ruling cadre.<br />
<br />
The Core, however, did not put the region first. According to Francoism, the Userites only see the feeder regions as a resource. To them, ''Feederites are human charcoal to fuel the furnaces of their industry.'' For all of their talk and treaties, the Userites care not of democracy, but of power. Thus, when the Feederites of the West Pacific looked to the Dominion boards, they saw three embassies: The Alliance Defense Network, Nasicouria, and the Allied States of EuroIslanders. These Userite regions had been Allies of the West. They had promised to uphold and defend the West against those who would overthrow the constitution. When the constitution was overthrown and the Feederites looked to their allies to save them, they could not believe their eyes. The Director of the ADN, Pope Hope, a woman who swore to uphold and protect democracy, was siding with the Core. EuroSoviets was hoping for good relations between the ASE and the Dominion. It was then when this truth of Francoism was revealed to the West: The Userites care nothing of the governments of the Feeders, so long as they can continue to exploit the Feeders for their own purposes.<br />
<br />
The ADN fought ALSO when the North’s government was overthrown, but did not fight the Dominion when the West’s government was overthrown? The difference: The North left the ADN, while the West’s first act was to state their membership and eternal friendship with the Alliance. At that point, in the eyes of the masses, they quit being Pacificans, and started being Userites. Conflict between the Core and the region was inevitable.<br />
<br />
'''How the Userites Picked Sides:''' The Francoism model suggests that Userites are in competition with one another over the resources of the feeders. ES’s early attempts at garnering influence in the Dominion quickly failed, and thus, the region realized that if the ADN were to gain complete control of the West, it would place them at a disadvantage for resources. This is why (after a tearful plea from Berphamore and Dilber) the ASE and RLA vowed to take up arms against the Dominion: They would rather have an independent West than an ADN-occupied West.<br />
<br />
After the Dominion folded and power returned to the constitutional government, Dilber requested all foreign troops and UN nations to endorse the Regent (which, interestingly enough, the Dominion called for as well just before folding). After the ADN realized they had lost their Userite influence, they imediantely began to backpeddle, sending in troops ''after the war was over''. The Alliance then stated how it was difficult to choose a side (the constitutionalists, or the Dominion offering the region on a platter) and expressed how they came to the aid of the region after this “internal matter” had been settled. The Alliance, though they lost complete control of the region, worked to ensure that the constitutionalist would still export their industry, culture, and resources to the Alliance.<br />
<br />
'''How Userites Took Control of the West’s Democracy:''' A question, however, is “were the members of the Core always Userites?” For this, we must consider that the second failing of democracy, besides stagnation, is that it rewards Userites, and places them in control of the feeders. Elections inherently are about self: Vote for ''ME'', I can lead you. Thus, the Userites who wish to have the power and the glory of a feeder region under their control are drawn to these elections. It is difficult for a Francoist or a true Feederite to win an election, because instead of marketing themselves and handing out teddy bear hugs, they are working hard for the betterment of the region.<br />
<br />
Outside influences are also rampant in democracy. Userites see democracy as the easiest method of control. Powerful interest groups will aid candidates that support their Userite interest, in exchange for exporting the products of the feeder. Userites will apply for citizenship, and stack voter rolls in their favor. Userites will endorse candidates and governments if they promise to continue the exportation of resources (see TWP: The Dominion). In extreme cases, Userites will move UN nations into a region for “security,” “police actions,” or “to level the playing field.” (See TWP: Berphamore v. Norion / ADN). This is why some elected members of the West Pacific Government seized power. They were Userites who rose through the democracy and were exporting the production of the West Pacific to the ADN. Since the democracy was slowing down production, they needed a new form of government to increase productivity and the amount of resources they could export to their Userite masters. The true feederites in the region rebelled against their Userite masters, and through feeder solidarity, were able to retake control of the region.<br />
<br />
'''The Support of our Fellow Feederites:''' With these events unfolding and the threat of purges to occur, the feederites rallied together to help drive the userites from power. The Pacific News Network was the first to break the story to the world, and was the first to point out that the Core was a Userite coalition. While there is a list of conduct that makes a person a Francoist, the first and foremost definition is ''one who places their Pacific above themselves and others''. Many government officials were invited to the core, but rejected becoming a Userite. Eli, Moo-cows with Guns, Berphamore, and Dilber all inspired the Feederites. They showed the world that they would not bow to the Userites, and would keep the West Pacific in the hands of the Feederites. This helped to create solidarity between the West and the other Pacifics, who, in the spirit of Pacific brotherhood, brought pressure to the Core and the Userites, which eventually lead to its downfall. Currently, the constitution is restored, and the feederite cabinet members and assembly will pick up the pieces of their region.<br />
<br />
'''Lessons for the TWP Government''': Francoism teaches us that Feeder regions must be focused on the ends, and Democracy is not an ends. An ends is an active region that produces industry, culture, and thought. What happened is that the government felt that the process of the region was destroying the production of the region. The failings were that the Dominion chose to give the ''production'' of the region to the Userites: Namely, themselves (the “chosen”) and the ADN.<br />
<br />
Now, contrary to popular belief, Francoism does not call for an end to democracy. Again, it is a model for which to view the world. Francoism, however, wants the Feederites to recognize the ''failings'' of democracy. Democracy makes the region’s ''process'' more important than the products, which destroys production. The ruling cadre will then try and free the region of the bureaucracy, and replace it with an outcome oriented government. However, if the ruling cadre attempts to sell the products of the region to Userites, or tries to horde the products for themselves, the ruling cadre then, by definition, becomes Userites. Feederites and Userites are in conflict, and the Feederites will rise up and oust the Userites.<br />
<br />
To prevent this cycle of exploitation and conflict, I make the following recommendations to the West, that they may end their conflicts.<br />
<br />
'''1) Have an outcome-orientated government''': Focus your resources not on the process, but on the product. Create cadres where like-minded citizens of similar skills work to improve the industry, thought, and culture of the region.<br />
<br />
'''2) Place the region above all else''': The top priority for every West Pacifican should be the region. Not external alliances, not themselves, but the region. Greatness comes from the collective, not the individual, and when every achievement is shared by all, all will strive for achievement.<br />
<br />
'''3) Keep feeder resources in the feeders''': Do not share your resources with the Userites, who view you only as a tool for imperialism. Use your industry to support your own people. Let the West shine brightly as a beacon of industry, thought, and culture. When you realize the surplus you have when you do not export your resources, you will see truly how active your region is.<br />
<br />
'''4) Recognize the failings of democracy, and account for them''': Democracies strive to slow the production of your region by focusing on the process. Like a computer surfing the internet, it will become gunked with cookies and spyware until it crawls like a Commodore 64. You need to reformat your hard drive every now and then to keep it up to speed. Have mechanisms that allow for your government to meet the changing needs of your region. The Pacific is not governed by an unchangeable constitution, but by a simple bill and a simple ideal. Have a mandatory constitutional convention every year. Write sunset clauses in your legislation. Do not allow the process get in the way of your progress.<br />
<br />
Also, remember that democracy will always leave yourself open to Userite subversion. Do not vote for the candidate who promises to export your labor and resources. Do not vote for the candidate with the best marketing who gives out bear hugs. Support those that put the West Pacific first, and support those who are best at their job. Reward the most productive among you with places where their imbune others with their work ethic. Remember, when you are able to keep the riches that are currently being exported, you will see truely how active and productive the West Pacific is.<br />

''Grenval (center) apologizes for his region’s news service and their methods''<br />
<br />
'''Grenval, The Grenvali United''': It was revealed today that an article written by the Grenvali Press obtained information by using an illegal tactic known as phishing. The article in question was an expose of a summit involving various neutral and defender regions who are discussing the creation of a security bloc (the United Security Initiative). While there are many factual errors in the article which were set straight by the delegates of the conference, the wild commentary and melodramatic accusations (such as stating that The Young World and Galts Gulch are being pulled into “the Pacific Puppet world”) are not the focus of this article.<br />
<br />
Rather, the methods used to gain access to the Initiative boards are what are being scrutinized. This was a secret, closed board created for the purpose of private discussion without having outside interests get involved in the process. Preliminary investigation conducted by The Stronghold has shown that Nasicournian citizen Gordonel phished an account and gained access to the boards, copying various threads for use in Glennon’s article (source). Administrator and founder of the Grenvali United, Grenval, posted the following statement:<br />
<br />
Grenval @ The Grenvali Press wrote:<br />
It is with deep regret to announce that upon further investigation, it has come to my attention that the information contained in the article “The Union of Sovereigns restructure” was obtained through phishing. Phishing, an illegal activity similar to hacking, involves stealing information, in this case, through coercion. I would like to apologize to all those affected, particularly the regions and nations attending the United Security Initiative summit, the regions and nations affected directly by the phishing, and the news organizations whose names, writers, and regions have been affected by this mistake.<br />
<br />
Not only is phishing illegal, it is immoral and goes against the ethics of both the real world and our community within this game. I am truly sorry.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Grenval<br />
<br />
There have been calls by Unistrut for the authorities to get involved, but such actions are difficult at best and impossible at worst. This is, unfortunately, the latest illegal action in a long line of escalation that is threatening the very fabric of the game. An unnamed delegate to the Initiative conference stated that additional security measures have been taken, and that these illegal terrorist activities will not disrupt talks.<br />

<br />
''Peanutbutter filled babies in The Pacific celebrate upon the news that Warrior Thorin much prefers the chocolate covered variety.''<br />
<br />
High atop a misty mountain, in an undisclosed location, Warrior Thorin grants a rare interview to a new member of PNN. Showing grace, class and a predilection towards chocolate covered babies, Warrior Thorin sits and talks with Goddessness about what it is like to be a member of the elite class of NS.....''The'' Pacific Senate<br />
<br />
goddessness: you have had an interesting history in The Pacific, if you would, please give us a rundown on Thorin and your role in Pacific history.<br />
<br />
Warrior Thorin: A long time ago, my first nation was named Myrdinn. Myrdinn's initial involvement was with the Rejected Realms Army (RRA) and was first assigned to go to The Pacific and attempt to take the delegacy. That was a lousy thing, to send a n00b into the storm, and Bertram Stantrous caught me when I had 70 endorsements and away I was sent back to the RR. After that, Myrdinn went on several defender missions and went back into the Pacific on occassion. Eventually I created Warrior Thorin who was to be a nation to infiltrate the NPO (around November 2003). During that time I began having t-gram conversations with Franco and Bertram and I realized they had cool, rational discussions. I realized very soon that I was on the wrong side, especially when those I worked with could never provide me any evidence that Franco invaded the Pacific (as I was initially told). I denounced the RRA and swore alliegence to the NPO.<br />
<br />
Initially I was met with a great deal of skepticism, but I worked hard to be a good citizen. I have to state emphatically that it was never my intention to move up the ranks. I became a Centurion early when Franco announced the procedure. I did not see my attainment to Centurion as anything more than what I thought all citizens were to seek. Anyway, I became a governor in the NPO (Province Y).<br />
<br />
I was also involved with the stabilizing force for the North Pacific during the pirate delegacy there. We were at war with the NP at the time and I viewed the occupation as a means to protect The Pacific. In the end, as I look back, the occupation itself was justified but the delegate was a bit flaky. I supported the creation of the constitutional government since because the people of a region make up the sovereignty of the region. I worked rather hard at trying to ameliorate the differences between TNP and The Pacific.<br />
<br />
I became a Senator in September 2004 when the NPO was dissolved and the Republic was created. I've been involved in the development of a lot of legislation and I oversee the elections for the most part. I act as a liason between the Assembly and the Senate.<br />
<br />
Currently, I am the Senator of Administration. I also serve as the Consul of The New Meritocracy, a position unattainable a year ago for anyone from The Pacific.<br />
<br />
g: Who is your favorite Pacifican, past and Present?<br />
<br />
WT: Francos Spain<br />
<br />
g:Who is your mentor?<br />
<br />
WT: I've had more than one. Franco and Bertram really set my thinking right. Since then, I'd have to say the Senate as a whole.<br />
<br />
g: Why do you think that some of the best players in the game are attracted to The Pacific?<br />
<br />
WT: It's the intellectual buffet of NS! Where else can you really express yourself on all levels? For the most part, we as a region have a true vision and are guided implicitly by it. Other regions seem to be more social clubs, which is fun for a while but eventually they become unfulfilling. In The Pacific, one has the ability to really expand one's intellectual potential.<br />
<br />
g: what RL governmental structure do you feel the Pacific most closely mirrors?<br />
<br />
WT: There's another world besides NS?<br />
<br />
g: What is your favorite Era of NS history?<br />
<br />
WT: I really miss the days when the NPO was expressing itself. I think my favorite time was after my conversation into the NPO and about 8 months thereafter.<br />
<br />
g: What are you most proud of in The Pacific?<br />
<br />
WT:The government. It has taken a lot of work to develop and I am glad that I have an active role in it. There is no other governmental system like it in NS.<br />
<br />
g: Describe Thorin.<br />
<br />
WT: The nation of Warrior Thorin idolize their military and are very egalitarian. There are women generals of combat divisions, for example. The nation is very efficient in manufacturing and agriculture and have socialist bent. The government protects its citizens vehemently. Francoism is taught in all schools from kindergarten to graduate school in college. The Nation of Warrior Thorin proudly has an honor guard which protects the governmental offices of The Pacific.<br />
<br />
Thorin himself is thoughtful, courageous, and cares about the people of his nation. He is an ardent Francoist and readies to give his life for The Pacific.<br />
<br />
g: What is the purpose of The Senate?<br />
<br />
WT: The Senate protects The Pacific. We oversee all actions to ensure there is no threat against the sovereignty of our region. We handle all foreign affairs and defer internal affairs to the Assembly. We also protect all of the beer and mead produced in The Pacific, but that is another story altogether.<br />
<br />
g: What is the most important mantle of your responsibility?<br />
<br />
WT: The unclassified part is to act as the laison between the Assembly and the Senate and to oversee the electoral process here in the region. I have other duties too which I can't talk about.<br />
<br />
g: What should your fellow Pacificans know about you?<br />
<br />
WT: I'll eat their babies if they are left unattended...and if they are covered in chocolate. <br />

===PNN and InterMet News Reach Syndication Deal (Jan. 21, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pnn-and-intermet-news-reach-syndication-deal-t3363.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul and Soigacas<br />
<br />
''Citizen Sir Paul, announcing the agreement.''<br />
<br />
''Meritocratic Administrative District, The New Meritocracy''': With the shake of two hands, the two largest news conglomerations in Nationstates sealed a syndication deal that would allow PNN articles to be republished by InterMet news and vice versa. “Really, this is simply an extension of what was already happening,” noted PNN Chairman Sir Paul, who went on to elaborate that PNN and InterMet news were already republishing each other’s articles. Soigacas, Aedile of InterMet News, added “Media is about the exchange of ideas, and this agreement will expose the Pacifics and the Founded regions to each others points of view.”<br />
<br />
The syndication deal marks the end of a brief “media war” between the two organizations. Both leaders decided that pooling resources was a better way to bring news to the world rather than fighting for ratings and duplicating efforts. They also hope this will create a fairer and less biased news atmosphere, although there was still room for editorials. Consul Warrior Thorin II, leader of the Meritocracy, said that “this is part of a larger initiative to bring the Meritocracy from isolation and into world politics. The Senate and the residents need to be informed as to the goings on in Nationstates, and as the Meritocracy becomes more vital, the world needs to know about our goings on.” Pacific Viceroy Black Adder echoed the sentiment, and looked forward to a better understanding between the Feeders and the Meritocracy.<br />

===TWP Take 3 (Jan. 18, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/twp-take-3-t3342.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Council Chambers, still damaged from the “Core event,” currently housing the provisional government''<br />
<br />
'''Administration Island, The West Pacific:''' Still smoldering from the last collapse of their government, the West Pacific Capitol currently has three thrones to rule the realm after the failure of Constitutional Committee III. However, the one who once sat to the right of the delegate, Biyah, has vowed to fight the West Pacific Triumvirate with every bit of resolve in his body.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific: Again in crisis.<br />
<br />
The Triumvirate was formed as a temporary government which would keep the region together when it became clear that the Constitutional Committee would not produce a document that would clear the choking bureaucracy and government inaction that had become synonymous with the West Pacific one year after the grand success of ConCom II. The problem, according to Core member and initial over-thrower of the second constitution, was that the region was in stagnation and needed a clean slate. After intense international pressure, (despite the support of Nasicournia), the Core folded, and every government official, revolutionary or core, was indicted for crimes against the West Pacific. Revolutionary leader Dilber left while others tried to pick up the pieces with ConCom III.<br />
<br />
After ConCom III’s failure, the Delegate, using his powers as guardian of the constitution and head of state, created the provisional government, with himself, Biyah, and TAO. Biyah then left the government on grounds that the People’s Republic of ''The'' Pacific would be installed in government positions. As a Senator of ''The'' Pacific, I can confirm that no UN nations have been ordered into the West, and the only “Pacific” nation with substantial involvement in the West is Moldavi, who has taken the loyalty oath under the provisional government and holds no ministry position. In an exclusive PNN interview, Eli confirmed that “The PRP has had no influence in the selection of or nature of the government.”<br />
<br />
There is speculation that the PRP involvement theories stems from an address by Black Adder, Viceroy of ''The'' Pacific:<br />
<br />
Last night the Delegate began a Revolution of Regional Self determination. The Region had ground into stagnation and chaos over their neverending rewrites of the Constitution, violent bickering over Government and general posturing. The roots of this are directly attributable to Userite Interference in the form of the Acronym Presence striving to enslave our Cousins.<br />
<snip><br />
After intense scrutiny and dialogue the Senate has come to the conclusion this is a just Revolution and we hereby voice our Unfaltering Support. We will intervene with all available resources and means to support the new regime in the event they are attacked. We will carry the whirlwind wherever and however we can with all means at our disposal.<br />
<br />
''The'' Pacific opposed the Core but supports the provisional government. The reason, according to Doppelganger, is that “Nasicourian outside interests were controlling the Core and the delegate was not at the lead of the government. The Core was a userite grab at a feeder region. Eli is the dully-elected delegate who is promising two Francoist reforms:<br />
<br />
1) To rid the region of its bureaucracy<br />
2) To put the region first and rebuild the community<br />
<br />
And thus deserves the support of the August Revolution. Currently, former elements of the Core are wandering around Nasicournia, notably ZetaOne and Halmont.”<br />
<br />
Obviously, there are those who are disapproving of the provisional government. Biyah, who originally stated his preference for martial law, has stated that he would “continue and finish the concom that was so rudely stopped.” His region “The Refuge,” set up after the fall of the Core, is creating a space for a government-in-exile similar to the one that operated during the North Pacific’s UPS Rail/Great Blight/Pixiedance affair. Current supporters are Biyah, ZetaOne, The Poo Dynasty (John Ashcroft Land), Gaspo, Biteland, and Freedom and Pride.<br />
<br />
In an exclusive interview with ZetaOne and Biyah, PNN got a unique perspective inside the Government in Exile (GiE) currently being set up in “The Refuge.” Biyah stated that he left the Triumvirate “when it became obvious that Eli had every intention of using anyone that offered him support, anyone who could keep him in power, regardless of the consequences to the region. It quickly became apparent that this was not just a matter of martial law, this was a power play.” ZetaOne laid the mishandling of the constitutional committee at the feet of Eli and TAO.<br />
<br />
ZetaOne @ PNN Exclusive interview wrote:<br />
ConComIII was tricky to begin with. I believe it could of been delt with better.&nbsp; The few [who ruined it] are those in power. What happened was during the vote, the C[onstitutional] M[onarchy] was all that had an example. Then Shas came up with his version of a Presidental Democracy, and people started liking it.<br />
<br />
The two went on to state that the goal of the GiE is to support the community of the West Pacific, to finish the third constitutional committee, and to have a re-unification of the region. However, they claimed that this was not possible as long as Eli and TAO were in office. While they did not want to embroil the region in war, they would look at all avenues to return liberty and democracy to the West Pacific.<br />
<br />
There are also several neutral parties in the West, including superstar Berhampore. Originally, he was planning on supporting the provisional government, but after ejection of members whose endorsements were over a recently imposed limit (50), he altered his signature to reflect that and refused to take a loyalty oath for the provisional government. Those taking the oath are TAO, Molavi (That Called the Vlagh), Unistrut (Timbour), The Faeyas, Lake Lanier, Fantoccini, Clockwork Isle, Enegro Montoya, and Nea-Petropolis. It should be noted that the banlist has been cleared and only two nations remain (Shasoria and Biteland). Eli noted that they would be un-banned when they took the loyalty oath.<br />
<br />
For a look into the Provisional Government, Eli granted PNN an exclusive interview in which he spoke of him motives for creating the Triumvirate and why he took the steps that he did. He insisted that “[Biyah] left the region because I was determined not to allow it to remain as a vassal state of the Nasi/ADN cartel of conquerors. When given the choice between declaring allegiance to the Region and doing the bidding of his Nasicournian masters Nasicournia won. Biyah and ZetaOne are only concerned with retaining another region for their Nasicournian Masters.” He went on to explain that the Provisional Government will be expanding with additional ministers and a governing document shortly. Eli also wished to avoid a war, and noted that “The government of The West Pacific welcomes any of its estranged citizens back providing that their allegiance is to the region and not to outsiders.”<br />
<br />
As one looks at the situation, it is difficult not to compare the current Provisional Government to the Chosen, but both sides agree that the WPT is no Core. Biyah insisted that “The Core was 12 (and then some) members of the WestPac interested in change. The triumverate is 3 in command with a few more hangers-on interested in power.” Eli noted that “The Core's objective was to seize the power inherent in a feeder region, namely The West Pacific, for the glory of the ADN and Nasicournia. The Provisional Government holds no allegiance to these outside influences, as it is a movement to return control of The West Pacific to its Citizens.”<br />
<br />
Both sides appear to want a peaceful and harmonious West Pacific, but with so little agreement on policy (foreign or domestic), this journalist sees a bumpy road ahead for any chance of re-unification. With the Met and Pacific issuing statements of support for the provisional government, it is probably not long until other major NS regions take sides. One thing is certain, no one wants a war, and if cooler heads and logic prevail, the West Pacific can become a harmonious Pacific once more.<br />
<br />
===Alpha Omega set to become Met Prefecture (Jan. 29, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/alpha-omega-set-to-become-met-prefecture-t3417.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Discussion underway in the Senate''<br />
<br />
The capitalist, ACCEL-member region of Alpha Omega looks set to become the first official Meritocratic Prefecture after days of discussions in the halls of the Meritocratic Senate. The talks are expected conclude favourably. “I've only had positive experiences with Scandinavian Duchies,” commented Senator Unistrut, “and Alpha Omega is indeed a first class region.”<br />
<br />
If the deal goes ahead as planned, Alpha Omega will be the first region (save for the Isles) to be partnered with the New Meritocracy in this way. Becoming a prefecture means that the region can participate in the government of the Meritocracy, and that its local Senators need not reside within the borders of the Meritocracy. It also brings benefits for both regions in terms of status, respectability, and news.<br />
<br />
In the past, the Meritocracy had three “Provinces”: the Meritocratic Isles, the Meritocracy and the Sardaukar Confederacy. However, only the latter, territory of former Aedile Sarda, was the only one of any consequence. The Sardaukar Confederacy officially broke away just before the collapse of the old Senate. At this point, the Meritocratic Isles became home to the shortlived Meritocratic Confederacy. And so, the Meritocracy entered a dark age for prefectures. In late 2005, the Isles were once again made a prefecture, under the stewardship of former Senator Jasque.<br />
<br />
The joining between Alpha Omega and the Meritocracy heralds a new era for both regions. We talked to Scandinavian Duchies, Foreign Minister for AO:<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''':Where did the idea to become a Meritocratic Prefecture originate from? Where did you first find out about the Met?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': I first became acquainted with the New Meritocracy through ACCEL. I cannot quite recall when the idea of establishing a Prefecture first came to me, but it was after browsing Meritocratic forums and having a discussion with the current Quaestor, Afslavistakistania.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''':What appeals to Alpha Omega about the idea of becoming a prefecture?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': I would also like to include that I will most likely find it positively delightful to work with some of the brightest minds in NationStates.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''':So, was it difficult for the region to agree on becoming a prefecture? How long did it take to approve the move?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': It wasn't really that difficult to convince people of the benefits of becoming a Prefecture. I am quite a trusted person within Alpha omega, so no one would directly oppose my suggestions once I explain them. It took about a week for all the Cabinet members to reply to my thread on the forum, and nobody thought it worthwhile to submit the issue to a referendum as no nations had opposed the measure on Alpha Omega's RMB.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''':Can you think of any problems that might occur when Alpha Omega becomes a prefecture?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': If the terms and conditions offered by the Meritocratic Senate are proper, which I strongly suspect, then I can foresee no possible problems in the near future.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''':Can you tell us a bit about the region of Alpha Omega and it's members? What do believe in? Why did you form in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': Alpha omega believes strongly in capitalism and conservatism. The region originally served as a ground for communication between RL life friends. There is a long OOC story behind our original members, but I doubt that the readers would be interested. We may conclude that some of us had moved, and NationStates somewhat replaced e-mailing.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Maybe if you told it in the form of a haiku?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': I am not a very accomplished poet, although I am aware of haiku forms.<br />
Separated friends,<br />
by oceans and continents,<br />
communicating.<br />
There you are, a perfectly good lump of rubbish.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Cheers!<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': What do you think of the Meritocracy? If you were Consul, what would you do?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': I think that the Meritocracy is a very proper and enlightened group of individuals possessing great merit genuinely contributing to NationStates. If I were Consul, which would (at the moment) be very detrimental to the Met, I would pursue a very active foreign policy spreading the New Meritocracy's name throughout NationStates through nearly any non-military means possible. I would encourage many small regions to view our forums etc. I would also make the Met very active in establishing conventions and mediating for various conflicts, no matter how small. Basically, I would try and get across the enlightenment possessed by the Senate to all of NationStates.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Interesting. Any thoughts on which candidate you would vote for in the upcoming consular elections?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': I would most likely vote for Hetairia, as he seems to have candidates for the other positions that I know best in his campaign. In my opinion, Cortath would also do a very good job, although slightly left-wing? Ylling really needs to get his own message across clearer. He needs to take some controversial stand points in order for the electorate to take him more seriously. I think though, that all three make absolutely excellent candidates.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': What are your views on duality?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': Personally, duality does not directly apply to me, as I play all of my nations with the same persona and with the same goals and ambitions. All those acquainted with my nations will know that. Duality, in my opinion, is a very difficult aspect of NationStates to play properly, and I tend to be against it. There are certain players, however, who pull it off brilliantly, and deserve due credit, i.e. Patrician Cortath.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Well then, thank you for you time. Is there anything else you wish to add?<br />
<br />
'''Scandinavian Duchies''': Thank you. I would not wish to add anything, unless you would desire me to do so.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Thanks once again. <br />

====''Berhampore seizes control in TWP''====<br />
<br />
''Berhampore seizes control in TWP''<br />
<br />
News is coming in that Berhampore has seized control of the West Pacific forums from West Pacific Triumvirate leader Eli. He has stripped Eli, Unistrut and Winnipeg of their admin privileges, and put many others, icluding Warrior Thorin, on post moderation. He also, somewhat disturbingly, banned Winnipeg, founder of the Meritocracy. He had this to say: “from a Forum Admin's Perspective that this is paramount to a slap in the face and only proves that Berhampore isn't fit to hold onto an Adminship of any forum. I was there as an OOC observer, and to try and help streamline forum operations. To blatantly just jump out and ban people, especially someone that was brought to the admin status by the Forum's Root Admin, only disrespects the forum and those that use it.” The experienced and respected admin came out strongly against Berhampore’s actions, warning: “He may speak of liberating the West Pacific, but will likely repeat many of the same things that Eli did, in the name of 'regional security' and 'delegate security”<br />
<br />
The concern on many people’s minds is that Berhampore is using the same tactics to crush dissent that he accused Eli and the Triumvirate for using just days before. “Why should these barbarians be running rampant over this forum?” Berhampore asked, “Its Eli's attempt to demoralize us and it stops NOW”<br />
<br />
Many see this as gross hypocrisy, and bring his integrity into question. “He reveals private conversations that do not involve him” stated Afslavistakistania, Quaestor of the Meritocracy, in reference to the posting on the TWP forums of a private email from Eli to Lanier.<br />
<br />
“Today, the true colors of Berhampore have been displayed.” observed Afslav, “His hypocrisy is highlighted by his limits placed on the freedom of speech. All those who disagree with his personal views, and the views of the GiE, otherwise known as the Core, have been put on post moderation. Accounts have been banned for no reason, privileges removed. Council nations have lost their status. I, myself, have been put on post moderation. I have been relatively neutral throughout this whole affair, but if this limiting of free speech is accepted by the Core, then I shall know where I stand.”<br />
<br />
InterMet asked Berhampore for comment on this new crisis, but our requests were ignored. Instead we spoke to Core and GiE member Halmont, who said: “I believe Berhampore has his reasons for doing this. I’m pretty sure that by the moment Eli knows about this he will banject him. Eli is doing that to basically everyone who presents as a menace to his power in TWP. I do not support Berhampore’s actions, because it will bring more negativity to the GiE, but I do know why he did it.. and the ideals behind his actions are expected, since all that has happened.”<br />
<br />
Consul Warrior Thorin has just released this statement, in which he demands that Berhampore restores forum settings and apologises to everyone he has wronged: http://merit.nosync.org/index.php?showtopic=2689<br />
<br />
This is another intriguing twist in the unfolding story of the West Pacific, which has seen little respite from changes of government over the past few months. InterMet wishes them a peaceful and stable future.<br />
<br />
'''Consul's Statement Concerning TWP's New Forum'''<br />
<br />
The administrative team of The Meritocracy has helped established a new forum for The West Pacific. This was done in the spirit of support that I offered the TWP in their transition to the new government headed by Wickedly Evil People (aka Eli).<br />
<br />
I suspect that many people who oppose this new government will immediately accuse the Meritocracy of meddling into the affairs of TWP due to the assistance of creating a new forum. However, it should be very clear that this was merely a matter of assistance for the new government. We, as a government, believe in the foundations of good governance, and a part of good governance is leadership. As leaders, we have offered a helping hand and we hope that the new forum, created by our administrative team of Winnipeg and Eli, will help the continued transition of the WPT progress smoothly.<br />
<br />
It was also fortuitous that the administrative team began the stages of designing the new forum as the recent umeritorious actions of Berhampore has illustrated a need to move to a safer and more streamlined forum.<br />
<br />
The Meritocracy stands ready to continue to assist the WPT if needed. We hope that the new forum will continue to serve the great region of The West Pacific proudly.<br />

====A New Beginning for TWP====<br />
<br />
''New forums designed by Winnipeg''<br />
<br />
Residents of the West Pacific have awoken this morning to a brand new offsite forum, designed by founder and admin of the Meritocracy, Winnipeg. Located at http://www.twp.nosync.org, the forum boasts impressive graphics and layout. West Pacific Leader Wickedly Evil People (Eli) declared “This new home is designed for all West Pacificans to enjoy amidst the tropical splendor of our home region.” Natives of the region seemed to react to this move with a new feeling of optimism towards the Triumvirate, and many said that although they didn’t agree with Eli, they agreed with the new forum. “As I expected, Winni has done a fine job here.” noted Eaglesham, “I hope that these pleasant new surroundings encourage us all to be pleasant to each other, even where we disagree.”<br />
<br />
It comes a day after anti-Triumvirate administrator Berhampore banned and seriously restricted the posting rights of many members including Winnipeg, Eli, Warrior Thorin, etc. See here for the full story. It is suspected that the nosync.org forum wa opened early because no-one expcept Lanier or Berhampore himself can undo the damage done yesterday.<br />
<br />
In related news, the Meritocratic Senate today passed a Statement of Support for the West Pacific Triumvirate by a large majority, 22 ayes to 8 nays. It declares:<br />
<br />
Whereas control of the governance of the region of the West Pacific has been secured by the group calling itself the West Pacific Triumvirate; and<br />
<br />
Whereas the leader of the West Pacific Triumvirate is a Senator in good standing of the Senate of the Meritocracy representing the nation of Eli; and<br />
<br />
Whereas the Consul of the Meritocracy has seen fit to issue a statement of support of the West Pacific Triumvirate and has offered material, intellectual and military support to the establishment of a new government for the region of the West Pacific under the direction of the West Pacific Triumvirate<br />
<br />
We the Senate of the Meritocracy issue this statement of support for the Senator from Eli, the actions of the West Pacific Triumvirate and the statement of the Consul of the Meritocracy pledging material, intellectual and military support for the West Pacific Triumvirate and their establishment of a new government for the region of the West Pacific.<br />
<br />
Once again, InterMet hopes that these new forums bring an end to the conflicts in The West Pacific. With Winnipeg as designer and admin, they’re certainly in good hands.<br />

===Thoughts on Poskrebyshv and the Creation of the Republic (Feb. 2, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/thoughts-on-poskrebyshev-t3439.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Galaisa<br />
<br />
''The Poskrebyshev Memorial in Port Franco. It marks the place where the last invaders were driven from The Pacific during the Great Patriotic War. The “balancing” stones remind us that separately, our stability is tenuous, but bound together with the concrete of patriotism, no wind or wave can make us fall.''<br />
<br />
'''Port Franco, The Pacific''': As you walk the streets of Francograd you can’t help but notice the various monuments dedicated to Francos Spain, The Father of the revolution. The city is full of symbols all created of the doctrine of Francoism. Today the average Pacifican lives a safe and patriotic life thanks to the senators, governors, and ministries all actively dedicated to the cause of the Pacific. As the curator of the Pacific I am not actively responsible for the preservation of the history of the Pacific but I am glad to assume that role for the purpose of this article. I have been a semi-active resident of the Pacific since shortly after the NPO came to power. I was not an active member of the NPO nor did I know Francos Spain. The only impression I have ever gotten of the greatness of the NPO is through the actions of the venerable Poskrebyshev in the final days of the NPO. I am writing this article to bring light to this pivotal transition period between the NPO and the Republic.<br />
<br />
According to the various historical documents on display in the Pacific Historical Society, Poskrebyshev led an illustrious career as a senator within the NPO. The senator was second only to Francos Spain in the hierarchy of the NPO. Along with being a dignified Senator Poskrebyshev was also the first officer of the Office of Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs, Governor of Province P and Grand viceroy of the Pacific. The senator led a distinguished career and eventually ascended to the position of delegate for a brief period of time. This was not to last though as the mandate for the next government of the Pacific was passed by Francos Spain to Unlimited. Thus began the transition that would eventually lead to the dissolution of the NPO. The struggle of Unlimted’s ascension to the delegate of the Pacific would have been nearly impossible without the intervention of the great Poskrebyshev.<br />
<br />
Francos Spain left the game due to a personal tragedy, and Poskrebyshev, a personal friend of Franco, left the game out of respect for him. With the absence of Francos Spain and the inactivity of Poskrebyshev it seemed as though the Pacific would descend into a long period of anarchy with power being in the hands of short lived tyrannical regimes. Unlimited was having an extremely hard time gaining enough endorsements to ascend to the delegacy thanks to various nations with hordes of UN puppets at their service. The opposition to Unlimited was largely based outside of the Pacific while Pacific citizens supported the would-be delegate. The invaders soon realized that they could not get the support of the citizens of the Pacific so they shifted to a different, more sinister tactic. They sought to deny the Pacific a working government by endorsing the then in active Poskrebyshev. They attempted to justify their actions by accusing Unlimited of engaging in a coup against the NPO.<br />
<br />
In order to counter this foreign anti-Pacifican propaganda supporters of Unlimited and the NPO (nearly all citizens of the Pacific) were actively reassuring citizens of the Pacific that Unlimited was the right choice for delegate. These times were extremely chaotic as it seemed that for every endorsement Unlimited would gain another invader would enter the Pacific and endorse Poskrebyshev. The divide was less than 10 endorsements between Unlimted and Poskrebyshev and the process had ground to a halt. It had become a war of attrition with either side making gains but neither side was able to do anything decisive. It seemed like Anarchy was inevitable and when all seemed to be lost and it seemed that only divine intervention would save the citizens of the Pacific an old force re-entered the battlefield. Poskrebyshev had returned to save the Pacific from the imperialistic intentions of the invaders. In awe inspiring act of self sacrifice Poskrebyshev ejected the invaders and tyrants attempting the steal the delegacy from the people of the Pacific and in order to allow Unlimited to take the delegacy he ejected himself. Before his sacrifice he took several invaders with him to the debts of the Rejected Realms. This act ensured Unlimited’s accession to the delegacy and quickly silenced those who believed this was a coup.<br />
<br />
Francograd may have been built upon the ideals of Francoism but this great society would not exist if it weren’t for the actions of Poskrebyshev in that crucial moment. It should be disappointing to every Pacifican if they were to hear that this act had been forgotten though it is all too easy to overlook it these days. It is time that Pacificans let Poskrebyshev back into the society he helped found by granting him due recognition. The militia would do fine to promote the actions of Poskrebyshev as his actions are the greatest example of loyalty to the Pacific and its people. <br />

===The Pacific severs ties with Equilism (Feb. 5, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-pacific-severs-ties-with-equillism-t3462.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''The Pacific Embassy in Equilism, just right of the Greek Embassy, now sits vacant.''<br />
<br />
'''The Central Bureaucracy, Equilism:''' Moo-Cows With Guns, presented a statement of censure against ambassadors from ''The'' Pacific and The Meritocracy on behalf of Equilism. In the statement, Equilism claimed that The West Pacific government is “devoid of native support” despite having a delegate with over 300 endorsements. Senator Unlimited responded with the following statement:<br />
<br />
''The'' Pacific is saddened to see Equilism shrink back to its ways of the past where unfounded and slanderous propaganda would pass as official foreign policy. We are further saddened that Equilism would feel the need to put a gagging order on our ambassador here in order to prevent any other side of the story from getting out. Information, it would seem, is a dangerous thing to the ruling elite here.<br />
<br />
The New Duce, Ambassador to Equilism, noted that ''The'' Pacific has been more than accommodating and has worked hard to foster good relations with the region. “Of little import were the months of steady progress made by both regions over the past semester. Unnoticed went the efforts made by the Pacific in outing a rogue in Equilism and the Pacific’s refusal to grant citizenship to tried criminal Belgium Fighters.”<br />
<br />
Equilism had also taken steps to insure good relations by refusing to grant an embassy to Pacific Army, thereby recognizing the Pacific’s sovereign government. While this issue prompted a conflict between the Pacific and its enemy Nasicournia a few months ago, Equilism chose to side with the Francoist Government. Indeed, bilateral relations between the Pacific and Equilism had been impeccable.<br />
<br />
However, in the end, it was Equilism’s allegiance to the West Pacific’s former Core that set off this conflict. With no prior warning or displeasure expressed in the Pacific’s embassy in Equilism or its counterpart in ''The'' Pacific forum, Equilism declared the Pacific’s ambassador not to be in good standing. This decision extended to the ambassador of the Meritocracy as well. At the time of publishing, Quaestor Afslavistakistania had decided not to take retaliatory measures.<br />
<br />
After a brief discussion in the Senate Chambers, the following message from Ambassador The New Duce ended relations:<br />
<br />
The Senate and the People of the Pacific find this to be simply outrageous.<br />
<br />
Let the records show that the Pacific has done nothing but try to be helpful to Equilism. We have tried to interact with your citizens, we have observed all your forum rules and policies and since you granted us this embassy and normalized relations with us, we only strived to improve relations with you.<br />
<br />
We are very disappointed that Equilism cares so little about our impeccable record in this brief, yet meaningful term of harmony between our regions.<br />
<br />
The Pacific will not be censured and Pacificans will not stay where we are not wanted.<br />
<br />
This embassy is closed. All ties between the Pacific and Equilism are now severed.<br />
<br />
Westwind, Vice President and Equilism spokesperson in the thread, stated that ''The'' Pacific’s “unblemished record” does not cover up its current actions:<br />
<br />
The PRP has condemned our allies in Nasicournia as "enemies", and engaged in sabre rattling to that end.<br />
<br />
And now the PRP has endorsed and defends the illegitimate Triumvirate regime in The West Pacific, who were also allies of Equilism. Clearly we cannot stand by without comment and action, while the PRP takes actions against our friends and allies.<br />
<br />
We will of course respect your wishes and your choice, in closing your embassy.<br />
<br />
Black Adder, Viceroy of ''The'' Pacific, felt that this was an unfair statement, given that Ambassador The New Duce explicitly explained that Nasicournia was declared an enemy of the state because of hostile actions and that Equilism would not be found “an enemy” by association with Nasicournia.<br />
<br />
Senator Unlimited urged Equilism not to “re-enter the dark ages”. By this, he referred to the days when Equilism would make proclamations to oust the sovereign government of ''The'' Pacific. The latest and most infamous one was issued by former minister Neo Conservatism, a statement which was to be reversed merely months later by a conciliatory address that ensued the normalization of relations. It is the perception of many, including some of Equilism’s former citizens, that the region is taking steps backwards. Some of its well-respected citizens, Grothistan, Koona and Moo-Cows have resigned from government in the region and the latter two have expressed their disappointment at the turnout of events.<br />
<br />
However, the line between Equilism and Nasicournia, well defined during the Pacific Army debate, is becoming blurred. As much of a case Westwind wishes to make against ''The'' Pacific for the former involvement of a single member of the region in the West (once suspended), he could be refuted with the fact that several of Equilism's hierarchy are dual citizens of Nasicournia - Chaucerin, Astarial and IllumiNations, to name a mere few. As of yet, not a single Pacifican is a member of the West Pacific Council of Nations. In fact, Pierconium’s puppet has resigned all posts in the West Pacific. Several members of Equilism are members of NasiCorps, while the applications of a few Meritocratic Senators to the Council of Nations were denied by Eli, all of which removes even more accuracy from Equilism's claims and, indeed, casts into doubt their ability to make them.<br />
<br />
Westwind should note that The Pacific will face criticism, but it will not tolerate disrespect. We believe that ambassadors are figures worthy of recognition. We will not make distinctions amongst them and certainly, none of them shall be undermined or silenced.<br />
<br />

'''{{Underline|Lord Tom drops out of Consul race}}'''<br />
<br />
Published 8AM GMT, 5/2, scroll down for update<br />
<br />
In a shocking and unexpected move, Hetairia today declared that he was withdrawing from the Consular Election ballot. It was completely out of the blue, and surprised many Senators. “I am stunned,” exclaimed LeVespertine, “yet very much respect your decision.”<br />
<br />
It reads: “It has been an honor and a pleasure to have your support and your questions. Unfortunately, circumstances have arisen such that I feel I am incapable of serving the Senate in the capacity it so richly deserves. With the utmost of regret, I am withdrawing my name from candidacy as Consul. Your support and kind words were touching, but it is for that reason, I am obliged to take this act to ensure someone deserving of the job becomes Consul.”<br />
<br />
The resignation of the Consul-nominee has left the election in disarray, and wide open. The two remaining candidates, Ylling and Cortath, were far behind Hetairia in the opinion polls a fortnight ago. We asked second-placed Cortath for comment: “I'm not making comments for the press right now.”<br />
<br />
In his announcement, however, Lord Tom nominated Puppet States to stand in his place. “To that end, I have nominated Puppet States to serve as Consul. I have not had the chance to consult with him, but I believe he would do an excellent job, supports the same ideals as my own campaign expressed, and has the experience, temperment, and commitment to serve the Meritocracy proud.” He has yet to accept, and it is unknown whether he will do so.<br />
<br />
Voting begins on February 6th, and it remains to be seen whether it will be a two-, three- or four-horse race. Stay tuned.<br />
<br />
''{{Underline|Meritocracy in turmoil}}''<br />
<br />
Update: 8AM GMT 6/2<br />
<br />
The Consular Election remains hotly contested and utterly confused, mere hours before voting is due to begin. Following the unexpected resignation of Hetairia; Puppet States, Corintur and Novus Homines had were all nominated. However, by early Monday morning (GMT), only Novus Homines remained.<br />
<br />
Asked about his nomination and campaign, NH replied “We are a real campaign with an honest agenda, which we will see through to its full completion.” The three nominees are now Cortath, Ylling and Novus Homines.<br />
<br />
Regrettably, it appears that the strict legislation of the Meritocracy will once again lash out against a Consul Nominee. Ylling was reminded for only the second time this morning that he had yet to nominate a Praetor. If he fails to do so with in the next few hours, his consular bid will be considered null and void.<br />
<br />
This might have been fair game were the Meritocracy still working under a system of appointed Executors*. But we have separate elections for Executors. Whoever Ylling appoints his Praetor-nominee will secure only his name on the ballot. Thus, it appears it will be Novus Homines vs Cortath, for the leadership of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
On top of these developments, Cortath made a powerful and surprising claim in the Senate Chamber this morning. “I am here to decry a travesty in this Senate” he announced dramatically, “there is a Sulla** among us, [and he] is no other than Lord Tom.” He told the Senate that Hetairia had formed something akin to a political party called the Optimates, and that they had plotted govern the Meritocracy “from the shadows.”<br />
<br />
Lords Tom and Justin were swift to return and confirm his claims that there is such a group. However, they denounced his ideas that there was anything sinister. “The facts are very simple. We had a social club.” Hetairia explained. He went on to say that “Cortath attempted to blackmail me with this information.”<br />
<br />
As this article is written, what will be remembered as one of the most convoluted and intricate Consular Elections of all time, is drawing to a close.<br />
<br />
<br />
<nowiki>* The Consul used to appoint his Executors (Cabinet), now they are elected separately.<br />

===Pierconium, Justice on Hand (Feb. 6, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-justice-on-hand-t3472.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Goddessness<br />
<br />
''Pierconium, Senator of Justice, prepares to wield the mighty hammer of Pacifican Law ''<br />
<br />
'''Francograd, The Pacific'''<br />
<br />
Pierconium. The enigma, the legend, the man. Who among us has not marveled at the wonder that is Pierconium? Your humble reporter was immediately struck by the structural integrity of the Senator's coiff. No, really, that thing is amazing. Soft cello music played in the Senator's study as he sipped purified water, and had his jackboots shined. Our time was short, I was forewarned, hence the interview convened at a brisk pace.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' -you have had an interesting history in NS, if you would, please give us a rundown on Pierconium and your role in history.<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' -Pierconium has actually led a fairly sheltered life in NationStates. Being formed in The Pacific with the hopes of infiltrating the New Pacific Order on behalf of it’s benefactor nation Borogravia Moldavi, it went on to speak with several notible members of the region and found itself fighting on the wrong side. With the departure of Poskrebyshev it was appointed Interim High Judge of The Pacific during the last weeks of the NPO. After the formation of the People’s Republic it took up the mantle of Senator of Justice and began an extensive reformation of the processes by which Law is served in The Pacific. An associated nation got into a bit of trouble in the north in January 2005 and it was discovered that Pierconium was secretly shipping weapons of mass destruction abroad so it was dismissed from the Pacific Senate. The nation remained in the region, with one brief departure in order to cause a bit of frustration in The Meritocracy over Provincial Senatorship, and maintained it’s loyalty to the Senate and the region. After several months the nation was asked to return to the High Judge position, which in turn led to a return to the Senate.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' - Who is your favorite Pacifican, past and Present?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' -Sudetenland.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' Who is your mentor?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' Darth Plagieus the Wise.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' Why do you think that some of the best players in the game are attracted to The Pacific?<br />
<br />
''Senator Pierconium leans back to contemplate this most challenging question, trying to tolerate this intrusion on his valuable time''<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' Success breeds success. The Pacific has remained stable for almost two and a half years. We have been under constant, sometimes overt, bombardment since Day One. Our resolve in the face of turmoil and conflict stands as a testament to all who play the game that we are the elite, we are the best. So, naturally, those that wish to be the best join The Pacific in the hopes of learning from the best.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' what RL governmental structure do you feel the Pacific most closely mirrors?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' None. No RL government structure is half as efficient as The Pacific.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' What is your favorite Era of NS history?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' Pre-Founder days were good. The height of the ACC/AA vs. A.D.N. conflict was nice. Imperial Order of Frith under Grazon and Toored had some good times. Overall, I can’t really say I have a favorite. The game, even though the coding is basic, is dynamic. Each “era” tends to have it’s own personality, it’s own culture.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' What are you most proud of in The Pacific?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' Our resolve.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' Describe Pierconium.<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' Pierconium is an autocratic state. The leader has supreme authority. There is no freedom except that which is deemed appropriate by the leader.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' What is the purpose of The Senate?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' The Senate is designed to protect the region against outside aggressors while directing the citizenry in furthering our culture and community.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' What is the most important mantle of your responsibility?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' It is my responsibility to maintain Law and Order within The Pacific. I protect the integrity of the Judicial Code and Judge those accused of violations against it.<br />
<br />
''goddessness'' What should your fellow Pacificans know about you?<br />
<br />
''Pierconium'' Do not cross me.<br />
<br />
With that I was asked to leave. Feeling more informed, yet not any closer to solving the mystery of Pierconium, I was left being grateful to be in the charge of Pierconium's hammer of justice.<br />

''The dead from the invasion litter the field''<br />

On the morning of 4th Feburary 2006, Great Birtain and Ireland launched its retailiation for the FCS alleged attempted invasion of The Falkland Islands. Rushing into the region and endorsing a nation which they had placed there weeks before.<br />

The invason of the FCS began in the early hours of the morning as units led by the Commander in Chief advanced into the region. Such a brave act however was easily spotted by the members of the region who immediately requested assistance from their friends in the ADN and their Empire. Instantly the battle began to tip in the balance of the defenders who managed to call upon many units.<br />
<br />
''The reinforcements line up to hold back the invaders''<br />
<br />
The forces of Alpha Omega and Federalist European Alliance moved into support the GB&I forces. However it was to no avail, in a desperate assualt they charged headlong into the enemy, trying to gain the upper hand. They could do nothing to stop the well defended positions of the defenders who quickly brought more men into counter the Great British and Irish Allies.<br />
<br />
''The Allies charge into the FCS forces''<br />
<br />
However by 1:00am the situation looked lose, the invaders simply couldn't bring enough men into break the defender lines and slowly and surely they were pushed back. The invaders lost more and more ground to the enemy. Yet they held on hoping that more forces would come. The Commander in Chief ordered all GB&I units to stay and fight, and they did so, giving the FCS a run for its money.<br />
<br />
''Refusing to leave their post the GB&I units remained, as more and more of them fell''<br />
<br />
By 5:00 the count was 135 endorsements to 109, considering the amount of men that the FCS and GB&I could respectively call on, it was a good show from the invaders and certainly gave the defenders a jolt. The FCS defended well and superior organisation from them meant that they could hold the day. The men of both sides should be compliment on a splendid action, and we wait eagerly for the next encounter between them.<br />

===ACCEL furore over Sarcodina comments (Feb. 13, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/accel-furore-over-sarcodina-comments-t3496.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Chairman candidate wants the Met out''<br />
<br />
In a startling announcement to the ACCEL this morning, Sarcodina (who is the Director from Conservative Paradise) simultaneously declared his candidacy for the Chairman position and denounced the New Meritocracy’s position in the organisation.<br />
<br />
“I am going to run for chairman.” Stated Sarcodina. “I will run on a stance that the New Meritocracy will be asked to resign from ACCEL in favor of a treaty with our two parties. TNM & ACCEL are not meant to be within one another, but each should stand alone. I will take further action if need be under the guidance of the treaty.”<br />
<br />
The comment will come as a shock to many Met Senators, as they feel that ACCEL and the Met are very closely linked. After all, it is the only alliance with which TNM is involved. Fellow ACCEL members also seemed surprised by Sarcodina’s statement, with many expressing confusion.<br />
<br />
Newly elected Consul of the Meritocracy, Cortath, told InterMet: “The Meritocracy is a proud member of ACCEL, and we plan to remain so. Regardless of who the Chairman is. The Senate is a valued member of ACCEL, and we intend to remain so. We have many allies in ACCEL, and Sarcodina and squarely placed himself at an extreme. I regret his stance, and indeed wonder as to its purpose, as it seems quite detrimental to force the Senate out, but it would ill behoove me to speculate.”<br />
<br />
“Absolutely not.” He replied when asked if the Meritocracy would leave ACCEL if the Chairman or Secretary General asked it to ”It takes a vote of the Directorate to expel a member, and we would win that vote with only Sarcodina voting for it.”<br />
<br />
After these fighting words from Cortath, ACCEL members were keen to isolate Sarcodina’s comments.<br />
<br />
“The ACCEL has had an interesting set of elections over the past week,” ACCEL member Posul told our reporter, “with two new Secretaries, and the Chairman and the Secretary-General not running for another term. This means that the ACCEL is going to take a new direction, however I do not think that the way to go about this would be by getting rid of members or by a witch hunt. We should be looking to consolidate our position and gain new members and influence on the course set out to us by our previous Chairman and Secretary-General”<br />
<br />
Unfortunately Sarcodina was unavailable for comment as we went to press. Hopefully this situation will be rectified with an update as soon as possible. In the meantime, it remains to be seen whether this is the beginning of a split between the Meritocracy and ACCEL, or merely a fringe candidate with fringe views.<br />

===Forum Destruction Conference concludes (Feb. 8, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/forum-destruction-conference-concludes-t3474.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
A month and a half after it first convened, the aptly-named Defender-Invader Convention has begun to wrap up its deliberations. A provisional final statement was posted early yesterday, although the delegates are still making some final amendments. Entitled “The NationStates Convention on Espionage and Warfare”, the preamble states: “United in a common belief that the destruction of forums and the use of illegal and otherwise dubious activities blurs the line between game actions and non-game actions to the extreme detriment of the NationStates world, we, the Signatories to this Convention, have resolved that lasting measures should be taken to prevent the use of such tactics from ever becoming an established and normal tactic in NationStates conflict, and to deter anybody who would seek to use them. To that end, and regardless of our various political allegiances and histories, we undertake to abide by and actively enforce the terms of this Convention.”<br />
<br />
The summit, hosted by the Meritocracy, was initiated after a series of outrageous acts of forum terrorism late last year. Most notable of these was the destruction of the Invaders’ forum by The Red Factions and Ketoprofen of the RLA. International outcry denounced these actions, and both groups began internal investigations. The widely anticipated RLA investigation has yet to materialise, after Lanier, and then King Justin, both resigned as independent investigators. “The investigation will be completed.” insisted Blackbird, although he couldn’t say when, or whether another observer would be appointed.<br />
<br />
Nations from many different regions attented the conference, and the majority see pleased with the outcome. “In my opinion the convention was very successful.“ said Nasicournian representative, Hrmmm, “We accomplished everything we set out to do to make an effective document which should deter future forum destruction. There were difficult times yes, but this is more of a moral issue, not one involving politics of any kind so compromise tended to be fairly easy.”<br />
<br />
“The Summit is very quickly coming to its conclusion.” added Domination, Invaders representative, “The delegates from each participating party have voted on the final draft of the convention. Now in its final stage of being presented to Nationstates and the Signing of it. Hopefully it will be a huge success, and rejuvenate the game.”<br />
<br />
However, not all regions are content with the conference’s document. The RLA, who boycotted the summit, have been less enthusiastic. Blackbird, RLAI Director, exclusively told InterMet: “ The RLA, to the best of my understanding, isn't opposed to the Convention. We aren't participating because we won't have our laws dictated to by anyone else. The official policy of the RLAI Intelligence Department is one of opposition to forum destruction.”<br />
<br />
“What we need now,” explained Hrmmm, “are regions and organizations willing to sign this convention and abide by it to complete the process.”<br />

===ACCEL elections conclude (Feb. 20, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/accel-elections-conclude-t3518.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Posul elected as Sec. Gen.''<br />
<br />
The votes for Secretary General, Iron Judge and Secretary of Commerce in the ACCEL closed today, and the vote for Chairman finishes tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Posul, from Great Britain and Ireland, was unanimously elected to the position of Secretary-General. He was the only candidate. “I am very honoured that the Directorate has appointed me.” He told InterMet. “I am going to be a much more hands on Secretary-General. This alliance is at a point where it will either rise to the challenges of the world, or fall by the way side. My job is to make sure the ACCEL is in the best possible shape to meet those challenges. I will therefore be doing my upmost to reform and represent the ACCEL. “<br />
<br />
The Secretary-General has a dual role in the ACCEL. He represents the Directors, and implements the policy that they propose. He also acts as the CEO of the Secretariat, and oversees the workings of each Secretary and the departments. Posul was also made a Senator of the Meritocracy this morning, again with a unanimous vote.<br />
<br />
Windsor-Bainbridge, from City of London (new Dominion of Great Britain and Ireland) was also confirmed as the Iron Judge. The Iron Judge is the head of the judicial system in the ACCEL, and he has the power to appoint judges along with the Secretary-General, Master of the Rolls (Scandinavian Duchies) and the Directorate. The Iron Judge is soon to become a member of the legal advisor to the Directorate in an amendment, which is being passed through the ACCEL at the moment.<br />
<br />
In other news, the Secretary of Commerce was appointed. The CNNP, was confirmed in a close vote, which saw a few Directors question his activity in the ACCEL. The Secretary of Commerce is there to try and keep the economic community of the ACCEL functioning properly. The CNNP has yet to make any statements about his acceptance.<br />
<br />
These elections will shape the course of the ACCEL for many months to come, and it will be interesting to see what direction the alliance now takes.<br />

===Ex-Invader snatches Lazarus delegacy (Feb. 25, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/ex-invader-snatches-lazarus-delegacy-t3538.html</ref>===<br />

''Natives in uproar''<br />
<br />
The resident nations of feeder region Lazarus have had their fairly elected delegate, The Free Confederates, ousted by United Luckians, a ex-region crasher. He has said he has set out his ‘plans’ on the forum, which include constructing a new forum and signing Lazarus up for a organization without consulting the natives.<br />
<br />
United Luckians was first noticed about a month ago, when the then-delegate, The Free Confederates, posted a warning that he was gaining endorsements. When it became clear that he would take the delegacy, military action was suggested, but none was forthcoming. UL posted brief messages on the Lazarus forum. “I can read everything you say.” Read one, “This forum is to depressing. Your flag shojuld have a phoneix in it.”<br />
<br />
Spectacor, Lazarus member and ambassador to the Meritocracy, told InterMet about the problem. “Our previous delegate, The Free Confederates, left the game. This emboldened United Luckians, who has been trying to take the delegacy for about a month. Our Foreign Affairs Commissioner, North Harmoneiam, is now trying to rally nations to her. Lazarus' biggest problem, and this is a long-term one, is the activity level of its nations. There are just so few nations that are active.”<br />
<br />
United Luckians, in taking the delegacy in this fashion, has failed to adhere to Lazarus’ Mandate. The mandate, now in it’s fourth incarnation, is the region’s founding document, and outlines what happens in elections and such. “There are certain requirements to be Delegate.” Spectacor informed us “Such as revealing his other puppets. Actually being nominated and running for the position. And so on. UL met none of these. And now that he is in the position, he is proposing creating a new form of government, though the details are extremely vague.”<br />
<br />
“Lazarus was more or less disowned by the rest of NationStates in our time of need (save Peaceian).” Killer Kitty told us, when asked about the international community’s response. “ We put out a call to arms, more or less, Peaceian responded, so did PRP and TNP, but certain allies just up and left; Nasi just took it all in and did nothing and Q102 suspend it alliance...what good is an alliance if your not going to help your ally?”<br />
<br />
United Luckians’ objectives as delegate are unclear, due mainly to the brevity of his posts. “UL has made a vague allusion to trying to seek alliances with The Rejected Realms, the Democratic League, and other regions to band together against the other feeders.” Said Spectacor, “He has not said why."<br />
<br />
That is not to say UL has not proposed any changes to Lazarus' system of government. Despite gaining the delegacy illegally, he posted these ideas on Lazarus’ forum: “We will have a parlimentry system in which laws are past there will be politicla parties and each 2 months we will have an election for the pm. North harmonie i would be happy is you would be pm and elric yoour debute. But iwll be del and after tow elections I will appoint a hier to be delegate. People of Lazrus I am listening.”<br />
<br />
“What is an illegal delegate?” United Luckians asked when we talked exclusively to him, “anyone si allowed to become great in this nation states world. I went [to Lazarus] because many of my comraddes tried to become the del and failed so i decided to move there and make ns history.”<br />
<br />
“No,” UL replied when asked if he would leave at the natives’ request, “I have every right to stay here. I would listen to them but i have every right to stay in a reigon.”<br />
<br />
“I would have a parlimentry system. I would reinvent are reigonal identisy. I would stand up against the prp. I would change ns history.”<br />
<br />
“That is confidental i might have asked some old friends for help.” UL told InterMet when we asked if he had outside help in securing the delegacy. “I Did ask some non natives but only for like one endorsements. 4 or less. The people of Lazarus endorsed me and wanted me to be delegate only the minority on the forum disapproved of my delegateship so how can it be illilgeyimate?”<br />
The people endorsed me so the people wanted me.<br />
<br />
“I am trying to hold it for a week and then my plans will be brought into action. I am here to stay and lazrus here to stay. If they want war they will get war. I have good connections.”<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Lazarus remains in the grip of illegal delegate. Spectacor made this plea: “We, the native nations of Lazarus, would appreciate the assistance of any nations wishing to help us restore order and democracy to our region once more.”<br />

===Eighty-Four Days Later... (Mar. 3, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/eighty-four-days-later-t3554.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
Interview conducted by Soigacas for InterMet News<br />
<br />
''Three month anniversary of forum attacks''<br />
<br />
Exactly 3 months ago today, Ketoprofen and The Red Factions carried out the heinous act of forum destruction in the name of the RLA. The Invaders’ offsite forum was targeted, and international condemnation was swift.<br />
<br />
From that point onwards, everything slowed down. The RLA began an internal investigation into the incident, under increasing regional and international pressure. Two international observers were appointed, although both resigned. The investigation is still ongoing.<br />
<br />
We talked exclusively to EuroSoviets, General Secretary of the RLA’s Executive Committee, about the affair:<br />
<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': First off, has the investigation been completed?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': So far as I am concerned, the investigation is complete. I am but one of three investigators and any one of the other three could begin asking new questions; that is to say the Committee for Intelligence Oversight has not yet been dissolved.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Who will take responsibility for dissolving this Committee, and when will it be done?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': Collectively we three - myself, Dalimbar and Dobbyniania - have the authority to dissolve the Committee. I have assumed the role of chief investigator seemingly, through sheer dint of effort. I have presented several conclusions to the other two and they will vote on it and then those conclusions will go before the Central Soviet of the RLA for decision.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': So we are still looking at another several weeks before the investigation is made public?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': I don't know. You're lucky that the investigation is going to be made public at all. The manner in which various parties have handled this internationally - not to mention the conduct of King Justin of Eureka in leaking information gathered from the RLA site whilst he was given privileged access with the specific mandate of overseeing the investigation. *sighs resignedly*<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': And can you guarantee that the entirety of the report will be made available to everyone?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': I make no such guarantee. It is my opinion that the report should be available - it will be drawn up by me more than likely so my say will carry some weight I expect.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': It has been three months since the Invaders' forums were destroyed. What do you say to those who say "too little, too late"?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': I wouldn't be me if I gave it any more than cursory consideration.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': But you have presided over an investigation into your organisations actions. You must have done so for a reason<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': Yes. I did. I did it because several members - particularly one the investigators, Dalimbar, a member of the ASE - asked for a full scale investigation into how such a thing could happen and moreover how it could happen without the consent of the Director of Intelligence. In this Dalimbar was echoed by members such as Ecopoeia of the ACA. Several commented that their faith in the work against invaders had been shaken just a little. I asked to be appointed to the investigative committee because I am an Administrator of the RLA and I am the General Secretary of the Executive Committee. I am, with Blackbird, the longest serving officer of the RLA. I was peeved that any action like this wasn't discussed with the Executive Committee nor with the Commander of RLA Forces, Xha'dam.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': So what has the investigation found?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': The findings of the investigation in totality will be made public in due course. It is not for any officer of the RLA to comment before the Central Soviet has had its chance to acknowledge or dismiss the findings which I have drawn up and which the Committee has yet to support.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': What has the RLA learned from this episode?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': That most of the major members of NationStates are total opportunists perhaps? Certainly their endorsement of previous forum destruction has not stood in their way of jumping on the bandwagon that will give them the opportunity to slander the RLA across various tabloid pages. What I will say on that subject is this. The RLA is not a monolith. Within it there are very diverse opinions and that has always been our strength - democracy and freedom. The opinions and views of members have been rigorously tested by this incident within and indeed outside the RLA as the Meritocracy found. The RLA is not a single sentient entity; an acronym cannot learn something. Collectively however the members of the RLA have been brought closer by this testing of our democratic procedures. What has each member learned? Who can say?<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Can you say to me, today, that the RLA categorically condemns forum destruction and similar abhorrent tactics in any and all circumstances?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': I don't need to; the RLA can say that itself. In fact it did so several months ago when the Executive Committee released a statement to that effect - one that was ignored or dismissed in the rush to condemn us. Opinions of individual members and the editorialization of your question notwithstanding, the RLA condemns forum destruction.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Will you apologise to Invaders, for the trouble you have caused them?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': I cause trouble for Invaders each morning that I am active at update. That is all the trouble that I have caused them - apart from being a co-founder in the most democratic and one of the most successful defender organizations.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': If I might rephrase that question, will the RLA apologise to Invader's for destroying their forums?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': I am not sure I know how to answer that question - at least not to your satisfaction. The RLA was not, in my opinion, responsible. Ketoprofen and The Red Factions - members of the RLA - were responsible along with others outside the RLA. Ketoprofen and TRF have declined to name these people - and some interesting arguments in duality were advanced in an attempt to exclude Ketoprofen from the authority of the Investigative Committee. The RLA membership in general had no knowledge - this much was evidenced by the outpouring of questions and in some cases anger at the events. As I mentioned earlier, the Executive Committee did not know, nor did the Commander of the RLAF nor the Director of RLAI. What is also neglected is that the notice posted claiming this operation for the RLA also claimed it for the ADN. Just because that was claimed, doesn't mean it is true. Members of the RLA were responsible and the RLA does not accept the responsibility for an action taken entirely outside the framework of our intelligence network. Should we perhaps apologize for the fall of the Atlantic Alliance also?<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': But Ketoprofen and The Red Factions have never been punished. Why were they not expelled from the RLA, if you condemn their actions so?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': The Red Factions punished himself - he has been excluded from the RLA for nearly three months and you've seen yourself the hostility evinced between himself and Blackbird over the refusal of our Director of Intelligence to allow him to return to intelligence duties. My recommendations contain further punishments for The Red Factions and for Ketoprofen. The last member the RLA expelled from its ranks was Karpathos when he sided with invaders against RLA forces during the battle for Palestine - both Ketoprofen and The Red Factions are ardent supporters of the RLA and against us they have committed no crime of that magnitude. I do not know that even the most vigorous opponent of forum destruction within the RLA supports their permanent expulsion. The point of punishment is rehabilitation and both are capable of that. In addition, with a matter so confusing, procedure was to be followed and it has taken its time and I think has arrived at a correct result.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Punishment or no punishment, many will call this investigation a "whitewash". How do you respond to this?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': Many have already called it as much. My retort is simple. This investigation was not called for those people or by them. It has revealed all the facts that are relevant and it will mete out punishment as it sees fit. If by a whitewash, people mean that we're trying to cover over facts, we have allowed two outsiders unprecedented access to our organization to oversee the process. The Committee was public for a long time and during that time every thread in the RLA related to the subject was located in the Committee forum for public review. Invaders have also been shouting from every rooftop about what we did - that anyone could say facts have been concealed is ridiculous. If instead people mean that the Committee was set up to deny RLA responsibility, they also err. The Committee was set up to discover the facts and suggest changes to the RLA and punishments for those involved. It has done these things faithfully and well. The Committee is itself proof that RLA members recognized the burden of dealing with problems and they allocated it to a suitable body as their democracy permitted them to do.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Why was the forum hidden? Any why have many diplomats to the RLA forums, including this reporter, had their posting rights in many other forums removed?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': If there are 'many' can you name me a few apart from yourself? As for your own access, you are a Clearance One member of the RLA and this is the correct setting for diplomats that aren't accorded special status by the RLA. If it was changed - with the exception of removing your access to the Committee forum - I have no knowledge of it or no memory of it. The Oversight Committee forum was hidden because it contained IP information which is sensitive; this matter was brought up by one of those members whose IP was on display and the decision was taken to cloak the forum because that member requested it.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Do you have any general comments about the affair?<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': Just a few. First of all, I hope this interview will be published in full.[It has been] Second of all, I would like to underscore the unfortunate attitude of various members of the international community of NationStates. The RLA is a strong organization and a cohesive one also. We're not going to fall apart just because people start muttering in dark corners about retribution if the RLA doesn't sign the international convention on forum destruction or whatever pretentious name the document bears. At some point Ketoprofen and The Red Factions will be allowed to re-apply to the Central Soviet of the RLA. The EC or the C-Sov can deny their application but they may well be members of the RLA again at some point; their right to apply cannot be taken away. We're not going to change our whole method of governing just because it doesn't meet with the approval of a bunch of oligarchic elitists. The sooner people get used to this, the better. The Oversight Committee did its job and there were always going to be nay sayers who don't like the RLA or members thereof or the goals thereof and were going to attack us.<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Thanks for your time<br />
<br />
'''EuroSoviets''': And thank you for the interview.<br />
<br />
We attempted to get a comment from Invaders on the situation, but no one was available.<br />

===Goddessnewss Returns to TSP Delegacy (Feb. 28, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/goddessness-returns-to-tsp-delegacy-t3547.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Caer Rialis to step down''<br />
<br />
''Goddessness declares her intent to become Delegate of TSP''<br />
<br />
As change overtakes much of NationStates, The South Pacific (TSP) is no exception. Caer Rialis, who has served as Delegate of the feeder for over a year, was challenged when Goddessness declared her intentions on the delegacy. This was unexpected, as she had just been elected Prime Minister of the region in January, when Fudgie stepped down.<br />
<br />
Goddessness decided to seek the delegacy at this time because of what is happening in the game. "Now is a time of great change in NS as a whole," she stated. "It is my hope that a changing of the guard in TSP can return it to its golden age."<br />
<br />
Expanding on that she said, "I helped to form that region, and feeder politics as a whole. It was from my first delegacy that feeder governments sprang. I have definite ideas about improvements and alliances that would best be achieved from the delegate's seat."<br />
<br />
While she greatly respects CR and what he did for the region, she has different ideas for TSP. "TSP has been isolationist in policy and visibility for quite some time. I believe it is time to rectify that." She cited alliances, syndicated news services and a militia as ways to accomplish that.<br />
<br />
TSP has been an isolationist region for over a year, preferring to focus on internal government and OOC activities on their forum. Many players in NS do not consider TSP a region of consequence in the international arena because of their reluctance to participate. They also view invaders and defenders as the same and do not involve themselves with that part of the game either. They do have a military, Defense of the South Pacific, and are actively recruiting.<br />
<br />
Goddessness serves as the Welcome Party in The Pacific, a position she will retain after she takes the delegacy. When asked about her intelligence role in TP, and if she will remain active, she stated only, "Unlimited is the Senator of Intelligence in The Pacific. Any role I play in intel is purely auxillary."<br />
<br />
This turn of events was not anticipated by the current Delegate, Caer Rialis. ''" a little surprised," said CR. "I thought she might want to become Delegate again.[But not now.] I had already gotten the cabinet's approval to name her my second (what we called out Vice Delegate before the law changed)."''<br />
<br />
After her announcement, Caer Rialis did not immediately step down. "I had to think about it," he said. "I enjoy being the Delegate, but the last few months have been topsy turvy. I felt it was better to step aside and let new ideas take the fore."<br />
<br />
In his letter to TSP (http://invisionfree.com/forums/theSPaci ... topic=6083) he stated his decision to step down.''<br />
<br />
'''''... I have decided that, rather than set this region to a delegate struggle between myself and Goddessness, two people who respect one another greatly, I will step down as Delegate. From this moment, I will stop amassing endorsements and, indeed, encourage each of you who is in the UN to endorse Goddessness. Once she surpasses my total, she will be our next delegate.'''''<br />
<br />
''Having announced his intent to step down, Caer Rialis looks over the crowd of well-wishers and TSP citizens affectionately.<br />
<br />
CR has no plans to leave the region, or even to remain inactive. "I do not want to leave the government but respect the ones in charge now," he said. "That's always been my trouble. I respect the people who serve the region and don't want to get into a political fight with them. However, the PM's slot may be open (heh) and at least one other may open up.<br />
<br />
If need be, I can be the elder statesman. Besides, i have some legislative ideas to float by the region."<br />
<br />
Goddessness concurred. "As I believe that he is a good, and fair citizen of TSP I would imagine he would have a place," she said.<br />
<br />
There is no set time for the change to take place, but at the current rate she is getting endorsements Goddessness expects to become the next Delegate of The South Pacific within a week.<br />
<br />
Whenever that happens, it appears there will be changes in TSP; changes in government and changes in foreign policy. How this will be affected from a largely administrative position will be interesting to see. In any event, there will be a definite change in style.<br />
<br />
Fudgie, former Prime Minister, said they each bring different strengths to the role. "CR's strengths are many—he is gracious, kind, attentive and a peacemaker.<br />
Goddess can bring fire, determination and strength to the role. And she's approachable and fun."<br />
<br />
Goddessness is ready to endotart some more.''<br />

'''InterMet''':So, you are the BlackAdder, premier of the Pacific. How did you get to this position, and what does it entail?<br />
<br />
'''BlackAdder''':I was acclaimed as the leader of the Revolution by the Senate of the Pacific. I am the ultimate authority for the Pacific Government now. As far as what that entails I give assent to what's brought before the Senate and make my concerns known. I very much rely on the opinions of the Senate and Assembly. Historically the leader of the Revolution uses veto very rarely. I can only point out 2 occasions in 2 years<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Who has held the position over the years, and who has executed their role the most effectively, in your opinion?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Franco, Unlimited, Comrade Mammothistan and now I. Who has executed their roles most effectively is a subjective answer. All held tenures in very different world climates, in that sense they all were the correct person for that position at that time ergo the most effective. Its not an answer I'm willing to speculate on nor wish to<br />
<br />
'''IM''': How do you see your term as Premier influencing the direction of the PRP, and the world as a whole?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': That would be giving the game away.You can expect changes. You can expect that we will continue to be a premier force in the NationStates construct. We will continue to be as we always have been, united and immoveable.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Have you got any concrete plans for changing the People's Republic?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Possibly. We have always proven Organic and flexible as we have adapted to a changing World. I don't see that it will change at all as we forge ahead. That is to say, we stop evolving<br />
<br />
'''IM''': So you won't be trying anything new or radical?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': If I did it would be announced in the Palace of the People first and not the news services. ;-)<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Not even a sneaky peek? A cryptic clue?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': The World will tremble at the Thunder of the Pacific once again...<br />
<br />
'''IM''': What direction do you see the PRP taking in relation to the Invader/Defender dynamic?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': The same we always have. We will watch them mash each other and not get involved. We only get involved with our treaty partners.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you recognize the two as seperate entities?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Not really. Takes a thief to catch a thief.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Some say that the Pacific and the Merit are naturally moving closer together. Do you see the two getting any closer, and where do you think it will lead?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': We may see a closer movement given several natural similarities. I do not see the Meritocracy ever extending anything over the Pacific past a treaty. In alot of ways the Pacific has been doing many of the things the Meritocracy wanted to do previously. Culturally we are attractive to them, Intellectually definitely. Given those attributes and the Meritocrats naturally slumming around the world we find many spend alot of time in the Pacific.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you see a greater cultural exchange between the two, for example a joint University?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': That's a possibility, we've already tried it and recognize the pitfalls. Given Meritocratic enthusiasm for the subject it could definitely be a win win for both regions.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': How do you personally feel about Forum Destruction, and the RLA in general?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Forum destruction is a criminal act RL and RP. It is despicable. Its genocide on a community and you're wiping out history. I equate it to the burning of the library in Alexandria. An absolute waste. The RLA is what it is. I personally am troubled at the attitude over the investigation but damage control is to be expected. As far as their membership goes I have no comment.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': How do your views and ambitions differ from those of the pacific as a whole?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': They don't. Ours is a singular vision. Strength, Security and Prosperity. The Pacific has always stood alone and survived because of it.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': But there must be some ideas you would like to see executed, but you know the region would never support?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Hmmm, the Pacific does what the Senate and the Assembly dictate because we recognize that only those with the necessary ability rose to those positions. If they do not support our views they leave. To date that has been a small number indeed. Our strength over other regions is the fact we are united. We do not bicker, we make our reluctance known and then we carry on. None of the drawn out sniping we see in other regions.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Should the RLA, or indeed any other region, commit an act of forum destruction, what action will the PRP take?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': We would do anything in our power to reduce them to a smouldering crater<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Is Nationstates dying?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Possibly. Everytime I've said that since the game started 3 years ago it has evolved into something else. Cybernations definitely has drawn off 90% of the activity. The fact NS2 seems never to appear doesn't leave alot of hope for NS. There's a possibility a new generation will arrive and explore NS as well. I don't know. It is still alive now so I'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you believe in duality?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': No. It is haphazardly applied and stinks of an attempt to escape any culpability or personal responsibility either as an individual or an organization.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you believe it can, in isolated cases, be used effectively and responsibly (ie Blackbird) ?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': No. No offence to BlackBird/Cortath but you are asking a person to carry on in a game construct with human interaction leading to friendships while maintaining a bi polar disposition. Not going to happen. The distinctions begin to melt between the personas and little exceptions are made in what is transferred back and forth justified in the head of the person by what ever means necessary. I do not believe it is possible to entirely divorce yourself from two seperate identities. I've not seen it done ever<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you really believe Francoism, and the labels "Userite" and "Feederite" apply to the worldwide sitiuation at the moment? Is Francoist thought really a viable philosophy?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Is Communism or Keynsian Economics? Not in its entirety no. It addresses a truth and expounds on it. Sometimes it fits neatly and sometimes you have to give it a push, either way its no different than any other political/economic theory. It reflects our view of the NS world. Possibly it is met with such hatred on the outside because they do recognize we've found them out and its a little concerning. In any event we are all fighting over the same resources. We defined Francoism, I don't see another philosphy that would sufficiently counter that view.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': What are the key principles of Francoism, and which do you think is the most important?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Important points.. Obviously the dictatorship of the Feederites. Without it the Pacific in question cannot become the Meritocratic Society it needs to be. Above all the interests of the region reigns supreme over the interests of the Individual. Security is always paramount, the divisive elements must be kept out that caused the revolution in the first place. Externally the region must be careful in how it approaches International Relations. It cannot bow to demands placed on it by other regions which are userite based. Those would be the top 3 tenets of Francoism in my estimation<br />
<br />
'''IM''': How does the PRP view the Espionage and Warfare Conference that concluded recently?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': We feel it is a good step that the International Community is addressing their concerns in a productive fashion<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Will you be affixing the PRP's name to the document, then?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': That would require perusing it, to date it has not been forwarded and the Senate felt it not in our interests to attend.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you not feel this puts you in the same group as the RLA?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Not at all. We don't destroy forums. The Pacific has always taken the point of view such activities are beyond the pale of human decency. We do not need to sign a document to verify that. We did not want to place ourselves in a position were we were being pressured to sign something contrary to our Francoist stance and then being accused of being in the same boat as the RLA. Apparently that will occur regardless.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Any general thoughts on your Premiership, and on anything we haven' covered?<br />
<br />
'''BA''': Tuesday was International Pancake day. Aside from that coming up blank<br />
<br />
'''IM''': OK then, thank you for you time<br />
<br />
'''BA''': No worries<br />

<br />
''Ferment in Southeast Asia as NationStates minnows take on giants of the defender establishment<br />
<br />
A battle-weary and defeated soldier of the Federal Empire on the retreat home''<br />
<br />
Equilism is not often the subject of a declaration of war. One of the most renowned and respected of the large defender regions, its E-Army places itself in the front line of the interminable conflict against the raider forces. Away to the side, tucked into its own little corner is the Federal Empire, a young and little-known region with a mission statement to “colonize other nations with the thought of presenting them with a more organized and/or civilized government.” These two regions were never meant to get on.<br />
<br />
At the start of the year Southeast Asia was one of a small clutch of regions held by the Federal Empire. Perhaps because it was too unimportant to be constantly monitored, the presence of foreign forces there appears to have slipped underneath the radar of the defender organisations for quite some time - the Federal Empire governed Southeast Asia for some months. They saw themselves as a “reincarnation of a Roman Empire,” claiming that Southeast Asia was far better off with them than without them. Governments were elected there and the region peacefully continued with its life, all under the auspices of the foreign power.<br />
<br />
Then the E-Army arrived, and the Federal Empire were levered out of Southeast Asia. Once their presence was noted they could not possibly hope to hold out against an effective and practised defender force.<br />
<br />
Equilism presumably saw this as just another day at the office, expecting their foes to retreat to lick their wounds before striking again elsewhere. But at the start of the month the Federal Empire did something rather unexpected: they declared war on Equilism. A small region of 27 nations with little experience of conflict had elected to take on the E-Army head-to-head.<br />
<br />
The declaration seemed brave. “We are not worried about their declaration of war as Equilism is safe with an active founder and such so there's not much they can do,” pointed out Tse Moana, Equilism’s Prime Minister. Moreover, the Federal Empire is itself highly vulnerable, governing a small network of founderless regions and with no army that could hope to match that of Equilism. So why the declaration? What could they possibly be hoping to achieve?<br />
<br />
President Killion gave a clue when he said that he had been “insulted” at “the lack of respect” shown by Equilism. Great-Biltain expanded further by stating that they hoped to obtain “not only respect from them, but also we wish to get more regions to stand up to Equilism.” This hope seems at best naïve and at worst fantastical. Their claim that “Equilism is considered an invader in the Federal Empire” is also likely to fall on deaf ears in the wider world. But this is a region not only fighting for its pride and for its own place in the NationStates world, but the place of its entire philosophy.<br />
<br />
''Cute Southeast Asian ladies returning to normal life after the recent conflicts''<br />
<br />
What is striking from the attitudes of the parties is not simply the contrast between the indignation of the Federal Empire and the quizzical bemusement of Equilism (“the decision of the Federal Empire to make us an enemy and declare war on us has been alternatively amusing and kind of unfortunate” stated President Chaucerin). The deeper issue is the way in which the two sides have come at the situation on completely different terms of reference. Although defenders and established invaders such as the DEN or Lone Wolves United may be bitterly opposed to each other, they still speak the same language. They live in the same world of updates and endorsements, invasions and defences. They each know the unwritten rules, and are familiar with each other.<br />
<br />
The Federal Empire, one can say with reasonable certainty, are not a part of that world. “This game is meant to accurately portray the real world,” states Yasimbala. They therefore do not see themselves as “a full invader society” region in the normal sense, because such invaders do not exist in the real world. They are a classical empire, a civilising force. Their gameplay is roleplay. Seeing the world as they do, the actions of Equilism are impossible to justify, equated to the worst kind of neo-conservative global interference in a peaceful region.<br />
<br />
But there is one crucial similarity between them and the invaders who update-jump each day. “In my mind if you take over an inactive, founderless region without native consent then there is no difference,” said Moo-cows with Guns. “Just because there is no response from the natives (usually because they don't participate in gameplay or the invader/defender dynamic) or because you call it region building, the net effect is still the same: a region not belonging to you has been taken over without consent. That is, in my mind, an invasion.” This is not a philososphy in which the sort of game that the Federal Empire plays could ever peacefully coexist with. Whether you think that is for the better or for the worse will depend on your own viewpoint.<br />
<br />
''The E-Army relaxing in Southeast Asia with the native''<br />
<br />
There is an interesting pair of mirrored paradoxes here – a true collector’s item. On one side of the dispute, the Federal Empire has eagerly and deliberately imported notions of empire and conquest into the NationStates world from the outside, believing that war “provides a dose of realism to a safe and digital world.” And yet for them the game is ultimately only a game, and therefore invasions do not matter in a moral sense. “There are no causalities; there are no victims, no massacred civilians.” By importing role play selectively they can show that empire building is justified, QED.<br />
<br />
Flip the coin over and we see precisely the reverse. Defenders are a phenomenon that is unique to the NationStates world, brought into being by the strict mechanics of the game and by the equally artificial phenomenon of raiders. Yet it is the moral values of Equilism rather than those of the Federal Empire that rest on the willing suspension of disbelief over the actual effect of invasions. The Federal Empire is surely correct to say that no person has ever been harmed by an invasion, but defenders claim the torch of morality. If defending is a crusade it can only ever be so within the game.<br />
<br />
So where will this war go now? The Federal Empire can console themselves with the happy irony that Equilism’s rock-solid security will itself ensure that the Federal Empire is not crushed outright. “I don't think [the declaration] ever was taken seriously,” said Moo-cows with Guns. “Other than continuing to defend against their invasions I would be hard pressed to see any action taken against them.”<br />
<br />
But this small episode, seemingly incosequential for its own sake, has brought into relief the way in which the game is approached on the centre stage of NS politics. What is war and what is raiding? What is international politics and what is, in the words of Chaucerin, a “ruse” to conceal invasion? And is it important that we can learn to tell the difference?<br />

===Black Adder Becomes Comrade Premier (Mar. 4, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/black-adder-becomes-comrade-premier-t3558.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Black Adder (left) being informed by Senator of Administration Warrior Thorin of his victory''<br />
<br />
'''Capital City, ''The'' Pacific''': In a tradition as old as the People’s Republic of ''The'' Pacific, when the senator of the delegacy steps down, the Senate locks themselves in the chambers and performs the ritual of the Conclave: the election of a new leader for the Republic. For several days, the business of ''The'' Pacific slows, federal offices shut down, and all eyes are pointed at InfernoIce’s Chimney, where the ballots of Senators are burned after each vote. If the smoke is black, then a consensus has not been reached, but if there is white smoke, then a new leader has been elected.<br />
<br />
Sources inside the Palace have determined that the frontrunners going into the conclave were Senator of Security Doppelganger and Senator of Media Affairs Sir Paul. Doppelganger is largely credited with increasing ''The'' Pacific’s hard power via his explosive forays into various world hotspots, while Sir Paul increased Pacifican soft power through his contributions to culture and proper education of the masses. Both Senators offered differing views on the direction of The Pacific, but all agreed that regardless of the outcome, ''The'' Pacific would continue to increase in size, power, and influence.<br />
<br />
The Conclave holds votes four times per day, and after each vote, the Senator of Administration tallies and burns the ballots. Should a new leader be elected (by two-thirds super-majority), the Senator of Administration asks the elected person if he wishes to become the Senator of the Delegacy. After confirming that he wishes to become Senator of the Delegacy, the Senator of Administration then asks “By which name shall you be called?” It was in this manner that Unlimited became the Vanguard of the Revolution and Mammothistan became the Protector of Pacific Society. The title is an indication of the manner in which the Senator shall rule.<br />
<br />
However, there is some controversy with this conclave, because after two black smoke votes, white smoke was found over the Senate Chambers. Indeed, on the first day of the conclave at 4:21 PM local time, PNN Radio told listeners “The smoke is white. . . . There is absolutely no doubt. A Senator has been elected!” PNN also has confirmation that the Thorin Guard, protectors of the Senate, were called into formation to swear allegiance to the new Senator of the Delegacy, but were later sent away. After eleven ballots and four days, the smoke finally turned white, and instead of an Islamic Cleric or Media Mogul, The Pacific finds itself with a mild-mannered diplomat.<br />
<br />
While official Senate sources indicate that the smoke was black, was always black, and always will be black during the third vote of the third enclave, PNN was able to discover from sources close to the election that Sir Paul had won on the third ballot and had accepted the office. He even announced that his regnal name would be “the liberator of the masses” or “Comrade Liberator.” However, sources inside the Palace of the People indicated that Sir Paul’s strong views on devaders might leave Francoists open to virulent persecution in the Alliance Block nations. Though a time will come for the fall of the Userites, he acknowledged that other steps must come before the liberation of all Freederite brethren. He turned down the delegacy, and the voting continued.<br />
<br />
''Sir Paul, (possibly now Comrade Liberator), from a file photo.''<br />
<br />
Likely, the senate had decided that since Sir Paul felt Feederite infrastructure still needed development before the end times for the Userites, Dopphammend Al Shabazz, who advocates the terrible, terrible things that most people only think, would not be a sufficient choice. After days of voting, Black Adder was chosen by the necessary two-thirds super-majority, and became Comrade Premier of ''The'' Pacific, ready to govern ''The'' Pacific with the ideals of peace, strength, and prosperity in his heart.<br />
<br />
Comrade Premier has indicated that he will work to further the diplomatic reach of ''The'' Pacific and will work with our Feederite brothers and sisters to increase solidarity. He will also ensure that the senate and assembly remain nimble and able to react in a changing world. PNN salutes Black Adder, Comrade Premiere of ''The'' Pacific and fourth leader of the Revolution!<br />

<br />
''Consul orders immediate investigation<br />
<br />
<br />
"I want a picture which portrays me as a hero." - The 'Saboteur'''<br />
<br />
The Meritocratic Senate was thrown into disorder late last Friday when secret orders found their way into the hands of the FCS Foreign Legion, InterMet News can exclusively disclose. The Lictor, head of the Meritocratic Legions, had planned an invasion of Warzone Australia for the morning of Saturday 4th, to test the Legions’ ability. However, shortly before the troops were due to enter the region, a message was posted on the RMB.<br />
<br />
“All invaders from the Medicrotacy[sic]” announced Baron Murat, “I know your coming. Be fun ejecting you. Sooooo tiresome.”<br />
<br />
Consul Cortath was furious, ordering an immediate investigation into the incident. “Warzone orders were leaked to someone from FCS. This is wholly unacceptable.” he declared in the Secure Senate Chambers. The Consul also recommended that whoever was responsible confess and give themselves up, for the good of the Senate “or I can get to have fun and have a witch hunt like in the old days.”<br />
<br />
This information has only just declassified by the Cabinet, and the situation is moving very rapidly. InterMet managed to contact the leak, albeit anonymously, for an exclusive interview.<br />
<br />
''A back alley, Meritocratic Administrative District. Our reporter approaches two henchmen, and makes the secret signal. He is blindfolded and bundled into a van. On arrival at the destination, he is ushered into what sounds like a small room, and told to turn on his recording equipment…''<br />

A back alley, Meritocratic Administrative District. Our reporter approaches two henchmen, and makes the secret signal. He is blindfolded and bundled into a van. On arrival at the destination, he is ushered into what sounds like a small room, and told to turn on his recording equipment…<br />
<br />
'''InterMet''': Why did you do this?<br />
<br />
''A deep voice replies from across the room..''<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': I’m fully aware that Intermet is probably under orders from either the Quaestor of Consul to use this interview to narrow down the search, I’m attempting to change my writing style, bare in mind I might not have voiced my reasons for doing this publically.<br />
<br />
I have a couple of reasons for doing this. I do not want either the Legions to succeed, I do not want the Lictor, nor the Quaestor, nor the Consul to succeed in deploying them. The Legions are totally superfluous. They make the Senate look like brutes rather than the diplomats we should be. If we have to use an army to make our point known than we are fools, we should not have legions but should focus instead on our FDC, and being the peace keepers, not the Warriors. We should not have legions.<br />
<br />
Second of all, if we must have legions, we certainly shouldn’t be using them in warzones. Its idiotic and unfair, the Senate has members from all over the world, We can’t attack Pacific warzones, as we have half the Pacific Senate in our ranks. We can’t attack Galts Gultch warzones, as we have leaders from there in our ranks. We can’t attack ADN or RLA warzones, as our Consul is one of them. If we attacked a warzone belonging to Galts Gultch, they would find out about it. I thought it would be only fair that FCS should know if we’re going to attack theirs.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you think you'll be found out?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': Nope. The BBC are pretty useless at the moment, and with the Quaestor PM’ing everyone asking them to put ‘Don’t blame me, I voted for Cortath’ in their Signature, I suspect there isn’t going to be much communication between the Consul and the BBC. Anyone with the talent to catch me either won’t or isn’t around to. I'm not an enemy of the senate, I'm just doing what I think is right and needs to be done.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': If not, what next?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': I’ll continue to sabotage any warzone operations, and probably all Legion operations. The Senate can feel free to repeal the legion legislation at any time.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Do you not feel that by causing an internal crisis, the Meritocracy's reputation will be damaged even more than through use of the Legions?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': The NS world has never worked like that. I am not a spy or an enemy of the Meritocracy, so once the legions are scrapped the Senate has nothing to fear from me, and the image of having a senator inside that cares enough that they resorts to such measures is a better image than one of invading bullies<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Why did you feel you had to resort to 'terrorist' tactics to get your views heard?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': My views were voiced by some Senators, but the legislation passed and there would never be a majority to reveal it without a little pushing. I would have asked for the help of Lord Tom and Justin, but they’re gone.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Why did you betray the trust of your fellow Senators over such a small thing?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': In my eyes it is no small thing, and this was the only way to achieve what I wanted. It pained me to ‘betray’ the Senate, it had to be done.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': Had InterMet not contacted you, and a massive witchhunt had blown up, do you realise the irreparable damage that might have been, and indeed, still could be done to the Senate?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': Who says the witchhunt will not go ahead now? And I had to take some risks but this is an important issue to me.<br />
<br />
'''IM''': If your methods work and the Legions are scrapped, what then? Will you reveal youself?<br />
<br />
'''The Leak''': That depends on whether or not the Senate understands by then why I have done what I have/will do what I will do. I suspect not. The Legions are pretty much my only issue with the Senate so I don’t foresee myself having to take measures like this again.<br />
<br />
InterMet felt compelled to pass portions of this interview on to the Consul. The Executors are working to discover the identity of the saboteur, and bring charges against him in the Meritocratic courts. “Cortath, ACC, and I have been working together,” Quaestor Afslavistakistania told us, “and have already narrowed down the list of potential suspects to two or three people.”<br />
<br />
This is the first time in the Meritocracy’s history that the Senate has been subverted in such a way, prompting widespread condemnation from many Senators. It remains to be seen whether the saboteur will take the Consul’s advice and give himself up, or cause a damaging witch-hunt within the Senate Halls.<br />

===The New Duce, The Man, The Mystery (Mar. 8, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-new-duce-the-man-the-mystery-t3572.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
Interview by Goddessness<br />
<br />
''Senator Duce ponders his hard work in The Pacific''<br />
<br />
Duce is the most enigmatic member of the Senate. His senatorial prowess is undeniable, his contribution to The Pacific..above reproach. He suffers no fools, your humble reporter included.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Senator, thank you for your time.<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- you're welcome, comrade<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Many feel that The Senate of The Pacific is an elite and somewhat impregnable institution. What are your thoughts as to the sense of elitism the title of Senator carries?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- Not being elected does not imply becoming elitist. Recruitment for the Senate has always been done on the basis of hard work. I think the record of all Senators prior to appointment shows that.<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- Sir Paul started a revolution in government funded media, BlackAdder almost single-handedly run diplomacy for the NPO, Warrior Thorin was an exemplary governor and introduced reforms to the judicial code, I could go on.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- No need, all of the Senators are greatly respected. Who is your mentor, in The Senate?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- That is a tough question, indeed. You will have to let me pick two Senators. The first one is Unlimited. He is probably the most mature, talented player I have encountered. His patience and steadfast manner is in no way reflection of his age.<br />
His "timing" is impeccable and he has become a consummate strategist. The second is BlackAdder. He has a way with words. It is almost impossible to win an argument against him and he, despite his job as a diplomat, speaks from his heart.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- What is the most important virtue of a Senator?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- The Senate would not function without, what I believe is the purest conception of loyalty, in the whole of NationStates. We are loyal to each other, to the region and to its founding principles. We back each other up at every occasion. It may sound an NFL taped speech, but we are truly a team.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- What elements of strength does The Senate most exemplify?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- The Senate has never been known to cave to outside pressure. The Senate has never conceded one inch if it meant a loss of sovereignty for the Pacific. We are strong in the sense we're constrained in our choices of policy by anything else than the region's well being. We are not afraid of change if it needs to be done. We are not afraid of stopping change if it is detrimental for the success of the Pacific.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- What is your heaviest responsibility as a Senator?<br />
<br />
''The_New_Duce''- The job makes you responsible for every word you utter. The Senate speaks for the region. I am convinced that everything a Senator says is policy. Therefore, you cannot be led by your feelings if you think they will betray you. That has been a costly lesson for me, but it is indispensable if you assume this mantle of responsibility. Your personal opinion can be taken for the opinion of the entire region and that's why temperance is essential. Hardliner or moderate alike, you have to be consistent and in control at all times.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- You mention learning a hard lesson in temperance, have you tempered your passion for the sake of being a Senator, and if so, is that being disingenuous to those you represent?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- Trade-offs exist. You need to think within a time context that spans beyond the next ten posts and within a scope that goes beyond your personal satisfaction. In my opinion, that is a requirement in the job description. Being a Senator demands that I do this, I do not believe I have lost my contact with those I represent. The region as a whole has evolved, in a way it has become more temperate as time went by. Neither have I lost contact with those who have left us. The Senate represents our history and we cannot turn our backs on it.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Senator, for those unfamiliar, will you give a short synopsis of your Pacific history?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''-I belong to a second wave of revolutionaries. I arrived at the Pacific on November 2003, after the first set of invasions and in the beginning of a boom cycle. Our Emperor was beginning to gain legitimacy and assert his influence over the region. At first I dedicated myself to reporting civil code violations. I did not become a vocal participant until a few months later. I left the game in April mainly because I was too busy with college having just started. Also had a conflict with a former senator, but that had no bearing in the decision. Upon my return on September, I became a provincial governor. I then became Commander of the Militia and literally built the ranks out of nothing. I was promoted to the Senate on September on the occasion of the 2 year anniversary of the Revolution<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- If we are to understand The Senate and its objectives, what is the most important thing to consider?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- The Pacific must become a superpower. The revolution has moved onto another step - that of spreading our culture worldwide. When all the lights in NationStates go out, ours must keep on shining.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Speaking of the dimming shine of NS, what needs to be done to save the game?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- We must bring politics back to the game. But politics must have real consequences within the game. NationStates is a game of political simulation, but it seems moderation is willing to exclude everyone from the externalities of political struggle. As an old German fellow used to say, war is a continuation of politics by other means. The real political world is ripe with conflict and constantly faces the threats of war. Nations Founders must be removed<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Describe Duce.<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- Great, this question allows me to speak in the third person. Duce is very much like the person behind Duce, save for the fascism bit. Duce is convinced. He is strong. He is loyal. And alas, he has most my defects: my tendency to view the world in blacks and whites, a certain touch of intolerance, a certain sense of being born after his time.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Senator, any parting words for the people of The Pacific, whose faith is placed in your care?<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''- Never waver, comrades. Never lose faith. We will not let you down.<br />
<br />
''Goddessness''- Thank you again, Senator, for your time, and your service to The Pacific.<br />
<br />
''The New Duce''-You are welcome, comrade.<br />

===Doppelganger, Live from Durkadurkastan (Jan. 12, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/doppelganger-live-from-durkadurkastan-t3299.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
Interview by Goddessness<br />
<br />
''Dopphamed al Shabbazz, falls to his knees in front of his shrine to himself, deep within Durkadurkastan.''<br />
<br />
Doppelganger, Senator of Security, is an elusive and imposing figure. In order to conduct this interview, your humble journalist was gagged and bound, dressed in an unseemly burqa and shipped off to a location that can only be referred to as "Durkadurkastan".<br />
<br />
Then, being denied food and water until the outcome was acceptable to Dopphamed al Shabbazz, the following interview was birthed.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: Are you an asshole?<br />
<br />
Through the small opening in the burqa, I can see the steely gaze of Senator Doppelganger. Black glasses cover the obvious disgust he feels, being interviewed by a female. A long, skinny cigarette dangles dangerously from the mouth that is about to speak. Anyone in the room would have been devastated by the voice that emerged...so strong, so befitting the man in charge of securing The Pacific.<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: What kind of opening question is that? Who is responsible for bringing this wench before me?? Of course I'm an asshole, woman! Do you really think I became the Senator of Security by kissing babies and helping old ladies cross the street??<br />
<br />
Carefully remembering the distinct instructions to not meet the Senator's eyes directly, I looked carefully at a cloud of smoke surrounding his head and spoke quietly.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: Who is your favorite Pacifican, past and Present?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger : If Dopphamed were to have a favorite player, other than himself, you mean, wench? Emperor Franco, unquestionably. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be the great Pacifican I am today.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: And present?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: You. But only because you satisfy my sexual urges. Whore. Second to you would have to be Unlimited. A real class act all the way.Looks good in a kilt, too.<br />
<br />
Should I laugh? Do I risk the ire of the mighty Dopphamed? Deciding against it, we continued. A flurry of activity surrounded Doppelganger. Dancing harem girls, an a myriad of tactical weaponry did not seem to distract the Senator, ever<br />
the monument of calm and strength. A subtle clearing of his throat snapped me back to attention.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: Why do you think that some of the best players in the game are attracted to The Pacific?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: The history. The conflict.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: Do you think the elite sense of being among very serious players is a draw?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: I think very early on Emperor Franco established a culture of intellectualism and it's stuck through the years. It's a nice respite from the Userite/Invader/Defender regions I suppose. I don't like venturing outside of The Pacific often myself. I find other regions to be......unsuitable for my tastes. *Looks at me disapprovingly and smacks a passerby infidel in the face.*<br />
<br />
Goddessness: If The Pacific were a modern day country in RL, which one do you think it would be?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: North Korea. Kind of feels that way sometimes I suppose, it did in the past, anyway.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: How so?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger:*clicking tongue at the rudeness of such an impertinent follow up question* When the New Pacific Order first took over as the legitimate government of The Pacific, the forces of evil had managed to trick the world into believing that we were the true enemy. Presently The Pacific is probably more like China. *laughs to himself* Yes, of course there is some starvation and torture, but The Pacific has a rich culture steeped in heritage.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: What is your favorite Era of NS history?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger:I actually look back fondly at the struggle between the NPO and the old Pacific Army.......which the NPO eventually won, of course.It was simply fun, and<br />
NationStates is a game after all. Many players seem to have forgotten this. It was just a good time to be playing the game back then.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: You mention the state of NS, what do you think could save the game, or do you think it is in danger of failing?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: I fear that the game is in danger, yes. Perhaps that's because I'm not a roleplayer and have always been interested in just the gameplay aspect of NationStates. The harsh rules they've imposed on invaders has killed gameplay.<br />
Random update times really hurt too. Skilled invaders (and defenders) can no longer plan out their attacks (or defense) properly. It becomes a game of luck almost. If I had my way, we would see the end of founders and set update times.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: What are you most proud of in The Pacific?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger:Where to begin? The thing I'm most proud of would have to be the fact that we've simply survived.The entire NationStates world was against us at one point in our history and we weathered the storm. Not only did we weather it, but we emerged victorious.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: And you are among some of the most elite players in the game, how do you account for your success?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: Unwavering loyalty to The Pacific.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: As well as?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: I could say hard work but probably not with a straight face.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: We'll say hard work, anyway, next!<br />
<br />
Senator Doppelganger was most gracious at my lack of formality and only lashed me twenty times with the cat o nine tails for making a joke at his expense. Praise Allah.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: Describe Doppelganger.<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: I think of myself as the most "hardline" Senator, with that bastard Pierconium taking a close second. I'd probably do<br />
a lot of things that some people in NationStates wouldn't like if I had my way.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: Which begs the question.....what?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: *tosses an evil and foreboding glance* Such matters will not be discussed.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: What should your fellow Pacificans know about you?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: That they can sleep soundly in their beds knowing that I'm always standing watch over the Republic.<br />
<br />
Goddessness: What should your fellow Pacificans know about your service?<br />
<br />
Doppelganger: My service?<br />
<br />
Goddessness: To The Pacific.<br />
<br />
Doppelganger:Dopphamed al Shabazz serves no master! Guards, seize the slave girl! I've grown bored of answering her silly little questions! Back to the stables with her!<br />
<br />
Re-gagged and tied to the back of a camel, I was unceremoniously shipped back to stables to ponder the wonder that is Dopphamed al Shabbazz.<br />

===RLA Report on Forum Attacks Released (Mar. 25, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/rla-report-on-forum-attacks-released-t3605.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
Written by Soigacas for InterMet News<br />
<br />
''Accusations of whitewash widespread''<br />
<br />
In a move which many never thought they would see, the RLA today released their report into the destruction of Invaders’ forums almost four months ago. Although supposedly meant only for RLA-member release, a copy found its way onto the Meritocracy’s Forum.<br />
<br />
The investigation, which has been seen as ‘too little, too late’ by many in the international community, was commissioned not long after Ketoprofen and The Red Factions, two ‘rogue’ RLA agents, used illegal techniques such as phising to hack into an Invaders admin’s account. They then proceeded to delete many forums and thousands of posts. A report entitled “RLA Surgical Strike”, written by Ketoprofen and “edited by Blackbird”, swiftly made its way around NS.<br />
<br />
“I could say any number of things ranging from, ‘We'll still be the RLA when the Meritocracy is in version eight,’ to ‘I don't really care.’” EuroSoviets, who sat on the investigation, told us, when asked about criticism of the report. “In short, we didn't deliberately wait and it is reassuring that people think that since they obviously don't have spies inside the RLA.”<br />
<br />
Since that day in December last year, the world has waited for the RLA’s reaction. Today it arrived, in the form of a report by Bamada, RLA General Secretary. It states that Ketoprofen and TRF were found to be guilty of:<br />
“1. Destroying a forum without the consent of the Director of the RLA - as laid down in the guidelines for RLA Intelligence.<br />
2. Non-cooperation with a superior officer on the basis of a personal grievance - as evidenced by the descent of one conversation with Blackbird into mutual insults.<br />
3. Conduct unbecoming a member of the Red Liberty Alliance, to the effect of bringing down shame on the RLA and its intelligence apparatus.”<br />
<br />
In spite of this, the committee handed down what many perceive to be lenient sentences to both parties. Ketoprofen was kicked out of the Central Soviet (the RLA’s governing body) and barred from reapplying for 45 days. TRF was barred for 30 days.<br />
<br />
Asked about the punishments, EuroSoviets said: “Well, for The Red Factions, who was the self declared leader of the little spy ring which organized this, his disqualification hasn't been set at thirty days - it was thirty days plus the ninety he voluntarily excluded himself by resigning on the basis that he had upset members of the RLA through his actions and did not wish to bring further ignominy on the RLA by associating himself with it until his punishment had been resolved upon. As for Ketoprofen, yes I think 45 days is adequate though originally I proposed sixty.”<br />
<br />
“The RLA wanted to wait until the outcry blew over, and it did.” The Heights of Invaders told InterMet. “the overall tone of the report is, "We'll do what we want, regardless. Even if they supposedly ban forum destruction, the lenient "punishments" for TRF and Keto show they don't mean what they say. As for Invaders, we have progressed since the action and become even better at what we do. But still, the RLA's words cannot bring back all we lost in the destruction, and even if they could, the RLA made no hint at apologizing for the actions. They condemn future actions in the report, but make no attempt to condemn what happened in the past. And the complete clearance of Xha'dam and Blackbird is startling.”<br />
<br />
The investigation seemed to blame to the problems the caused, and arose from, the forum destruction on “dual citizenship”, and the complexities of the chain of command. “The committee found that the key problem regarding the forum destruction was the chain of command.” stated the report. The majority of the report is spent looking at how these problems could be addressed. “If broken, disorganization erupts and problems like this can occur. Thus by preserving our chain of command, we prevent future problems.”<br />
<br />
Despite the scale of the act that took place, and the size of the interregional outcry, the investigation’s report seems to take very few punitive measures. It also exonerates Blackbird, who affixed his name to Ketoprofen’s “Surgical Strike” article, supposedly without realising its content. “Blackbird and Xha'dam were questioned,” states the investigation, “and found innocent of all charges”.<br />
<br />
“I gave [Keto’s article] a cursory check and did not read over it extensively enough to realize its implications.” Blackbird told InterMet, “I was under the impression, at the time, because according to the story I had been told by TRF and Ketoprofen, that were simply to have been given the IPs by a defecting agent. The defecting agent wanted to cover himself, and the article did that. It was not only until months later did I realize the full breadth and scope of the plan they had actually executed.”<br />
<br />
And there are other questions the report does not answer. “Why did it take an international outcry before it became relevant that TRF and Keto had acted against the RLA rulebook?” demanded Westmorlandia on the Met Forums, “What exactly did the rule book say about forum destruction?” It never condemns forum destruction, and the only time it is explicitly mentioned is in the first recommendation to the Central Soviet: “1. Forum destruction be banned by the Red Liberty Alliance.”<br />
<br />
“Forum destruction was formally banned by the RLA;” EuroSoviets told us, “no executive member can overrule that without a vote by the Central Soviet. That is tantamount to saying that forum destruction is wrong. I imagine formal codification of that principle was left out because the Central Soviet felt that after the outcry, the opportunists who sought to impugn the reputation of the RLA should not be given the satisfaction of seeing the condemnation written down. Frankly I agree with that sentiment.”<br />

===Glorious Power in Met Infiltration Scandal (Mar. 13, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/glorious-power-in-met-infiltration-scandal-t3585.html</ref>===<br />

''Quaestor reveals traitor’s plot to subvert the Senate''<br />
<br />
In a shocking development to the recent security crisis in the Meritocracy, we can exclusively reveal that the Meritocracy now believes the “leak” was none other than ex-Senator and persona non grata Glorious Power (aka Gordonel). We have learned through Quaestor Afslavistakistania that GP probably used ‘phishing’ to gain the password to a Senators account, and then collected information that passed through the Senate.<br />
<br />
It first became apparent that a Senator was not to blame when Afslav used a classified method to link IP evidence from “Seekersville”, the nation which InterMet conducted last week’s interview through, with the traitor GP. Through process of elimination, it was then determined that no Senator was leaking information to Glorious Power, and that he must be getting the information directly.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, from an evidence gathering perspective, this was where the trail ended. Winnipeg announced in the Security Update that all Senators must change their passwords. Fortunately, this eliminated the threat from Glorious Power, as his phished password quickly became ineffective. Afslav, who was earlier said to be annoyed with the update, told InterMet “It is true that the notification did hinder the investigation, but it also put a quick stop to any further attempts by any phishers. Depending upon your outlook, either could be more important.”<br />
<br />
PNN prepared this graphic to help our readers understand the complex chain of events.<br />
<br />
GP refused to comment. This is the continuing saga of Glorious Power (aka Gordonel), who went from rising member of the NS community to traitor and hacker by his own means. It is unknown what depths he will sink to next.<br />

===BlackAdder Appoints New Pacific Order Senate (Apr. 21, 2006)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/blackadder-appoints-new-pacific-order-senate-t3644.html</ref>===<br />

''Emperor BlackAdder animatedly addresses his subjects after announcing his new Senate''<br />
<br />
FRANCOGRAD—Emperor BlackAdder, after re-establishing the New Pacific Order, announced his new Regent and Senate today. The announcement came after much speculation following the tumultuous events since the dissolution of the PRP and its Senate. Pierconium, upon request, turned the Delegate nation back over to BlackAdder. Prior to announcing his Senate, he laid any rumblings about anarchy to rest.<br />
<br />
BlackAdder wrote:<br />
I will be dissolving the People's Republic of the Pacific and reverting to the New Pacific Order. I will assume the title Emperor. All banned individuals will swear an oath of Loyalty to the Emperor....This anarchy will end....We can take anarchy and transform it into a stable atmosphere with rules where everyone knows where the boundaries are all under the Aegis of a benevolent Tyrant. I am that Tyrant. I pledge I will be benevolent as long as everyone stays within the rules laid out, when they are transgressed you will be at my mercy.<br />
<br />
While many were not happy with the loss of the PRP, most were glad that BlackAdder had retaken the reigns. Even though Pierconium was in the process of creating a government, he did not have the support of several former Senators, most notably Warrior Thorin, The New Duce and Mammothistan. Accusations and recriminations flew between Pierconium and Thorin especially, on the forums of The New Meritocracy and the Provisional Propagated Pacific as well.<br />
<br />
Thorin has since sworn loyalty to BlackAdder. "I am and always shall be loyal to The Pacific, and I know that BlackAdder as Emperor will lead The Pacific to its continued excellence. To that end, I shall support BlackAdder in any way that I can," he said.<br />
<br />
"One of the major reasons I returned to The Pacific," he said, "was after chatting with several people who are now Senators of the NPO—notably Dopp, Goddessness, and Unlimited, all of whom I respect greatly—and they encouraged my return. I did not want to sever the ties of friends that I had made over the time that I served as a Senator and I returned to continue that comaraderie, at least I hope to."<br />
<br />
Duce, on the other hand, has been unable to reconcile the changes. "The Pacific is headed in a direction I do not intend to follow," he said. "Francoism has been all but abandoned and the Republic has been lost to another dictatorship. In Francoist terms, this is a reaction that will not help spread the Revolution."<br />
<br />
He has accepted a position on the Gatesville High Council.<br />
<br />
BlackAdder named Pierconium Grand Viceroy of the NPO and Regent, and Sir Paul as Laureate of The Pacific and Praetorian. Sir Paul was also given the distinction as a personal Advisor to BlackAdder.<br />
<br />
Pierconium Sir Paul<br />
<br />
Duce's biggest misgiving concerning the new government is the appointment of Pierconium as Regent.<br />
"The man griefed The Pacific; he griefed our home. There is no recognition [of that], nor willingness to reconcile."<br />
<br />
The Senators are Unlimited, Doppelganger, Goddessness, Karpathos/Petros, Moo-cows with guns and Six Guns.<br />
<br />
BlackAdder wrote:<br />
The rank of Senator will be held only because of Merit and work. It is not a title. Every one of you carries a Senator's baton in your rucksack. If it is deserving it will be conferred. If it is neglected it will be removed. This list is not static, you all have the opportunity with work and desire to be added to it.<br />
<br />
Unlimited Six<br />
<br />
Doppelganger Goddessness<br />
<br />
Moo-cows Karpathos<br />
<br />
Clearly The Pacific is not dead, far from it. Nor will it be allowed to fall into the hands of those who wish for its destruction. As long as NS survives, those inside the feeder will work for its betterment and for its sovereignty.<br />

==Emperor/Empress==<br />
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as delegate of [[the Pacific]].<br />
<br />
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. Unlimited and Mammothistan were known as Senator of the Delegacy in the People's Republic of the Pacific. Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan have been retroactively granted the title of Emperor. <br />

===Francos Spain Deleted (Sept. 14, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/francos-spain-deleted-t151.html</ref><ref group="note">Francos Spain departed NationStates under a cloud of controversy. Upon deleting, his RL friend, Poskrebyshev, claimed he had taken his life. This was a false claim, one which Francos Spain did not acknowledge until August 2023.</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''State Funeral of Francos Spain, laid to rest under Franco Square in Capital City''<br />
<br />
Francos Spain, The Rejected Realms: With friends and foes standing by his side, The Stabilizing Force of Francos Spain slipped into oblivion. Some have called him a saint, and some have called him Beelzebub, but regardless of stance, all agree that he has been the most influential person in Nationstates. Because of Francos Spain, defender groups (ADN) formed, armies were raised, game rules shifted, and the balance of power was thrown completely off-kilter. It is amazing what one man can accomplish in such a short period of time.<br />
<br />
On August 28, 2003, an unknown nation took the delegacy of the Pacific, and on September 1st, he founded a government so influential, that every politician in Nationstates had to take some position on it, The New Pacific Order. The NPO was a change from the old Pacific regime of TheDoc, which was marked with frequent bouts of inactivity from the delegate. Franco was an active delegate, as his mass bannings caused the Moderators to put a cap on the banishment list. Even this reporter had the honor of being sent to the rejected realms by El Claudio.<br />
<br />
The government appeared to be totalitarian, with its civil code and frequent banishments, but in general, the code was only selectively enforced against dissidents and spies, which appeared frequently in the government. After the 3rd invasion, spies were so common that it is estimated that ½ of all governors had ties to belligerent organizations. They were never ejected because they tended to work harder for the regime to keep their cover than the natives did.<br />
<br />
Franco left the game at the height of NPO influence. The Union of Sovereigns had been signed, the ALSO government of The North Pacific had deposed of their main enemy, and he himself was leading the Pacific Militia into the North to support the embattled ALSO government and delegate Great Blight. Unfortunately, a real life tragedy occurred and Franco’s ability to log on was permanently lost. His last known words in NationsStates was to RedCommunist:“All right. Talk with you later.”<br />
<br />
As such, the ALSO government fell, and Franco was ejected to the Rejected Realms. Many players pleaded with moderators to move him back to the Pacific for a proper farewell, but they refused to grant such a request for such an exceptional player. The NPO is renowned for having moderators rule against them, and it seems fitting to be ruled against one last time.<br />
<br />
Several people have their own thoughts on his passing, from belligerent to respectful. Here are some quotes from various members of the Nationstates Community:<br />
-----<br />
Thel D’ran:If just 1% of what was said about Francos was true, then here's what I know about him:<br />
<br />
Francos Spain was a remarkably intelligent and dedicated man. He possessed the courage and strength of character to define an approach to our common activity and, further, to serve as a leader with few equals. His talents for organization and communication were worthy of note — as was the genuine spirit of compassion he demonstrated to those who bothered to take time to know and communicate with him. Lastly, though somewhat private, he was certainly a man who felt and thought deeply. In short, he kicked ass — thoroughly and often.<br />
-----<br />
Ceasar: As a Delegate he was mediocre at best<br />
-----<br />
Twoslits Experiment: I bear him ill will in real life.<br />
<br />
His behavior toward human beings is cruel.<br />
<br />
I may be many things to cruel selfish people, but tolerant is not one of them.<br />
-----<br />
Winnipeg: Fairwell Francos Spain, while many of us Disagreed with your RP Character, and your Policies, we can all Agree that you helped make the game more enjoyable and gave many something to work towards. Tonight I hold a Cold one High in your Honour and Hope that no matter where you are, on this Earth or the Next, that you're happy and remember the fun that you've had.<br />
<br />
VALERE IUBERE<br />
<br />
All Flags of the People's Republics will be lowered to Half Mast for the day with the Passing of one of the most influential nations on the face of NationStates.<br />
-----<br />
LadyRebels: The Flags of LadyRebels will fly at half mast for a week of mourning, to show the respect that Francos Spain held, as a player of a game.<br />
<br />
Those that got to know him, I salute you. Know that there are those of us out there that wished to have gotten to know him better.<br />
<br />
*places three roses on the memorial of Francos Spain, one a full bloom White Rose, to express the purity of thoughts to him and his family. One a full bloom Red Rose to show the love that many held for him and will so until their memories are taken from them. One a Deep Royal Purple, the respect of one National Leader to another.*<br />
<br />
May you have a strong wind at your back and following seas on your Journey, know that you will be missed. Take care friend, and go with peace.<br />
<br />
*Seven Cannons fire off three shots into the night sky over LR*<br />

KingmanReef: ...Nothing less than legendary.<br />
-----<br />
Unfree People: No hailing here either, but I will join you in saluting his memory. Words can't really express my feelings... I miss the guy.<br />
-----<br />
Mammothstan: The light of our world has gone out. We have lost the Great Pacifican.<br />
-----<br />
BlackAdder: His colours are home. God rest you Francos.<br />
-----<br />
Sir Paul: May the road rise with you!<br />
May the wind be at your back!<br />
May the sun be on your face!<br />
May the rain fall soft upon your fields!<br />
And, until we meet again,<br />
May the good Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.<br />

===ADN Reorganizes, Pope Hope Declares Martial Law (Sept. 19, 2024)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/adn-reorganizes-t184.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''An ADN Soldier takes a reprieve from enforcing Article 2, Section 5''<br />
<br />
Pope Hope, Alliance Defense Network: Beleaguered by spies and inactivity, the ADN will be leaving it’s old forums and getting a fresh, new look. Currently, the constitution is suspended, and the stagnant and inactive legislature has been swept away. In its place, Pope Hope will be given executive authority over all ADN dealings and each region will be given one representative. It appears that the much hated constitution is being revamped in a convention headed by these representatives. Despite being able to invade and defend at a moments notice, the bureaucracy of the old constitution proved so ineffective that holding an election to replace the Vice President took more than one month.<br />
<br />
The following is the Press Release issued by Pope Hope:<br />
<br />
Martial Law has been institituted as a temporary measure to help us get back on our feet after the transtition to the new forum. This is all am excellent chance to demonstrate that we can and will change the structure of our organization if needs be. And it is very needed at this point in time.Ladies and Gentleman of the Alliance Defense Network, this announcement does not come easily to me. It does, however, mark the beginning of a new hope for the ADN.<br />
<br />
For the last couple of months, my PM inbox has been barraged with complaints. Threats to leave if certain conditions are not met have been made by more than one region. The House and the Senate stagnate through inactivity and/or bickering. Political concerns and ambitions have taken priority rather than our mission of Defender Unity and Defending.<br />
<br />
We have lost a President, Vice President, and Co-Director of Intelligence, all in one month. We have lost regions over our differences.<br />
<br />
I have heard and heeded the call of many to change the way things are run around here. Representatives from nearly every region have approached me either privately or through posts in the Government Halls of this organization to take control and re-organize the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
I hereby invoke the power given to me by our Founding Members and Article 2, Section 5 of the Constitution we adopted with good intention many months ago. From this point forward, the ADN is in a state of Martial Law.<br />
<br />
The following is going to happen:<br />
<br />
--Members of the Alliance Defense Network will move to a new forum which has been constructed for the purpose of a new start.<br />
--Once registered, each member will read the whole of the Introductions forum, and follow the validation instructions within. No exceptions. You must read and follow the directions specifically in order to get validated.<br />
<br />
--If your name is on the following list, you are to be appointed temporary Council Rep from your region. These Council Reps must report to The Government Hall for final discussions and revision on the new Charter.<br />

<br />
This is it, folks. Our chance to turn things around and make it right again. We made our run at constitutional beauracracy, now it's time to shift our focus back to our original intent. We need to bring the ADN back to the roots of defending. We need to protect our regional sovereignty. We need to avoid fighting and debating over things that are inconsequential and tie our hands from our real focus here.<br />
<br />
Though our politics remain active, our military activities have declined. If you watch the RAS, you'll see the same people moving on defense missions every night while politics distract many from defending. This is not a desirable balance of attention.<br />
<br />
The ADN is not about fancy titles, or selling yourself during an election time. That has really started to bother me about this organization. I never came here expecting to be praised for my position in the ADN, as some people now seem to. I came here and worked hard, and ended up doing a lot for the ADN in the process. I can say the same about many of you. Some, however, talk much and do little. We are all here to DEFEND, a very honorable cause. It is not about ourselves, it is about protecting our regions, and about protecting the would-be victims of invasions. Many people here seem to have forgotten that.<br />
<br />
This is also a chance to air your grievances. If you are not a Council Rep, feel free to start discussions about your own concerns in the CoffeeHouse. I know you have concerns about one another, I hear it all the time. We are all friends here, please demonstrate this. If you have an issue with your ally, raise it now. There is no better time. Remain respectful, but air out your concerns now.<br />
<br />
This is a day which holds much hope for us, the brothers and sisters of the Alliance Defense Network. For over a year we have grown to know one another as more than colleagues, but as friends. We must save ourselves from imploding by taking action while we still can.<br />
<br />
Martial Law begins now.<br />
<br />
Your Loyal and Hopeful Director,<br />
<br />
High Queen Pope Hope IV<br />
<br />
Please keep this quiet and the new URL to yourself for now. It will of course be public, but we want only members to register during the transition, to keep up with masking.<br />

===UN Filing Error Afflicts Nationstates (Sept. 27, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/un-filing-error-afflicts-nationstates-t259.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Turmoil in the streets as governments fall into anarchy''<br />
<br />
UN Office, Nationstates: Due to a clerical error, democracy over the world has been thwarted. One-half of all UN nations had their voting status revoked, and many stable governments and longstanding delegates had their delegacies removed from them. Moderator Salusa Secondus had this to say<br />
<br />
Yes, we know that nations are losing delegacies all across the world.<br />
Yes, we know the cause of the problem and have a solution in place.<br />
Yes, the nation's that have lost the delegacy REALLY HAVE lost the delegacy, and all game play may proceed as if they had lost it normally.<br />
Yes, the secretary who seems to have forgotten that we have 2 filing cabinets of UN nations, not 1 will be fired. Unfortunately, due to her contract, we must allow her to finish her current job of updating all UN records. As soon as she finishes, she'll be fired and we'll have a more senior official go through both filing cabinets and (hopefully) fix everything. This will result in doubled issues and other effects, though I doubt that anyone will mind.<br />
<br />
Due to the glitch, the following feeder regions lost their delegacy:<br />
<br />
The South Pacific: The Shaft<br />
The West Pacific: Berhampore<br />
The North Pacific: Sydia<br />
The Rejected Realms: Kandarin<br />
<br />
As such, the YoungWorld’s attack on the Rejected Realm was successful for one day, but without the power to eject, Kandarin was able to reclaim his throne as Lord of the Underworld. In the West Pacific, an agent of TWP was able to take the throne, and returned it to Berhampore. In the East Pacific and South Pacifics, the ‘successors’ did not eject the former delegates, and as such, all were reinstated. Unfortunately, the usurped delegates will now have a counter next to their names.<br />
<br />
Even delegates who kept their thrones had trouble. Sydia and Unlimited, delegates of the North Pacific and The Pacific, respectively, both lost significant amounts of endorsements (about 200 each). As such, the North Pacific Army was recalled to endorse Sydia and The Pacific exercised the Union of Sovereigns Alliance and SECO and Red Army forces moved into the Pacific to endorse Unlimited.<br />
<br />
Things are now starting to get back to normal, but things have occured which can not be undone in the great glitch of 9/26/04.<br />

===Sarda & Ministry of Culture begin Casting! (Oct. 2, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sarda-ministry-of-culture-begin-casting-t291.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Salusa Primus, Sarda'' - Here in rainy central Sarda, casting has just begun on "The Pacific Revolution," the epic history of Francos and the new People's Republic.<br />
<br />
The role of Sarda is already filled by universally adored Scottish actor Rufus Sewell, and numberous others have come forward.<br />
<br />
Warrior Thorin was heard to say of the new film project that it is: "A great project in a great time. As the Pacific marches towards future greatness, our own fellows must remember the dedication and courage of those that bore the yolk of responsibility for the first Pacific Revolution."<br />
<br />
Steven "Plot-Stealer" Spielberg has also specially requested that others come forward with any extrenuous historical details, and their desire to join the new production.<br />

===New Governors Take Office (Oct. 1, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/new-governors-take-office-t284.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By {{NSp|Warrior Thorin}}<br />
<br />
''(From Left to Right) Sarda, Senator Warrior Thorin, Desetland and Galasia on election day.''<br />
<br />
'''The Ministry of the Interior, Franco City, The Pacific.''' The first governors of the Pacific assumed office today after several weeks of arduous transition. Taking the helms of the two provinces are Governor Sarda (Province T-Z, named Tantus Pacificus) and Governor Desetland (Province D-G). Both governors have had experience running provinces before in the NPO, but what is unique is that they are the first elected officials of the Pacific under the PRP. Desetland commented that "I will do my best to serve my province well." The sentiments were also echoed by Sarda, who immediately decided to enact a competition to see which province could create the wildest dance in honor of Comrade Poskrebyshev. Those results shall be quite interesting!<br />
<br />
Province D-G not only has its first Governor, but it is filling other offices rapidly. Galaisa has been appointed the Vice-Governor of the region, and has certainly taken the PRP by storm with some dazzling work with posters (for example, look at the picture of the forum page!). To learn more about Province D-G, you can go to this thread.<br />
<br />
Province T-Z is now officially known as Tantus Pacificus. It is the largest province of the Pacific. Governor Sarda has appointed Chosen Men to be the Deputy Governor of the Province. CM is well-known for his undying support to Francos Spain and the other elders of the Revolution, as well as his PSAs which are broadcast in the Pacific Civil HQ. To learn more about this great province, you can visit them here.<br />
<br />
MistStlkr recently won the election for Province M-P and we await great things as he transitions the province under his governorship. MistStlkr's current vision of the direction of the province is seen with this statement how how he plans to name it: "I would like to suggest Magnus until after the first "membership drive" at which point I plan to take suggestions from province residents and put it to a vote." To watch and see how this province shapes itself, you visit the province at this thread.<br />
<br />
These are exciting times in the Pacific! And the interest continues to mount as yet another gubernatorial race is on for Province H-L, the candidates being HL Dafidius and The New Duce. You can watch the action at the polls by visiting this thread.<br />
<br />
After the elections are over in Province H-L, it appears that two provinces will be left. Who will step up and take charge of those provinces? Who thinks they can convince the citizens of the Pacific that they can lead them? If it is you, then visit the Ministry of the Interior and apply today.<br />

===Ukraine/USSR Calls For Help<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/ukraine-ussr-calls-for-help-t408.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Crazy Girl attempting to control the world again''<br />
<br />
Ukraine, USSR territories: Today, in joint session, the USSR premier Redcommunist asked the US Alliance to send troops into “Ukraine” and to endorse “Dah Homestarmy.” The Region was attacked by operatives of GLA and TITO. Having greifed the region, the moderators promptly deleted the invaders, and now, Union troops have been called in to restore order to the region.<br />
<br />
Currently, Crazy Girl, (under the name “Zandra”) has been vying for the delegacy. All able bodied UN nations are called upon to move into “Ukraine” and endorse “Dah Homestarmy” to protect it from falling into the hands of the evil doers. Unlimited noted that “the USSR has been at our side during many invasions, it is time to return the favor.”<br />
<br />
Protect the Ukraine! Protect the Union! Endorse “Dah Homestarmy” in “Ukraine.”<br />
<br />
===ADN Gets New Charter (Oct. 18, 2004)===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''The new charter of the Alliance Defense Network''<br />
<br />
ADN inner sanctum: The people of the world rejoice as the ADN shows off their newly adopted charter. The ADN has long been suffering from bureaucracy, intelligence failures, ridiculously long terms of office, and democracy in general. The new charter addresses all of these concerns and looks to put the ADN back on the map as the premiere defender organization.<br />
<br />
One of the most notable changes in the charter is eliminating many of the executive offices. Now, there is but one executive who will be held accountable for the direction of the organization. Many people complained bitterly about the one year terms of office and how this led to a lack of accountability, so the new office is elected for life. This way, the ADN won’t be bogged down by a constant election cycle and can focus not on politics but on defending. The director will have veto power over the ADN representatives, select a cabinet, any advisors, and essentially run the ADN however she sees fit. The director also has the power and duty to investigate any wrongdoings or complaints. If, for instance, there is a complaint that the director-for-life is becoming abusive, the director would launch an investigation on herself, hand select the tribunal, and have a trial regarding her wrongdoings.<br />
<br />
The ADN also does not have the power to dictate what its sovereign regions may or may not do, so if a region, say, Alcatraz, uses the ADN boards to organize an invasion using a top ADN official, then it is clearly NOT an ADN action. Clearly, this organization is highly evolved in political structure and diplomatic acumen.<br />
<br />
The ADN also does not declare war. However, it does have the power to have declared enemies. Examples of some enemies of the ADN are the PRP and the USSR. You are also made an enemy if you get out of the Alliance or refuse of give aid to your fellow ADNer when called upon to do so.<br />
<br />
There are also crimes in this new government that applies to members of the ADN. These are…<br />
<br />
''Treason against the ADN or its members. Treason is defined as attempting to overthrow the government of an alliance member region to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the region into the hands of a foreign power &#124;&#124;or attempting to overthrow the government to which one owes allegiance, either by making war or by materially supporting its enemies.<br />
<br />
Espionage against the ADN or its member regions. Espionage is defined as the practice of using spies, or other means, to collect information about what the ADN or its members are doing or plan to do.<br />
<br />
Aggression against fellow ADN members or allies. Aggression is defined as the act of initiating invasion or hostilities, which may include propaganda and fifth column activities.<br />
<br />
Invading regions for the purposes of conquest. Conquest is defined as the occupation of a region with the intention of extending its sovereignty over that region.<br />
<br />
Conduct detrimental to the proper functioning of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Allying or supporting Enemies of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Posting any sensitive information from the ADN forum elsewhere, excepting orders for the movement of troops via methods of communication secure and safe on regional forums, necessary for defensive missions.''<br />
<br />
Therefore, giving the ADN bad press is enough to make you an enemy, as well as invading regions where the natives are currently happy in their situation. Thus, actions like invading Ukraine and putting an ADN puppet in the delegates chair would be considered illegal by this new charter.<br />
<br />
All of Nationstates is excited and ready to experience a new style of defenderism under Pope Hopes lifelong reign.<br />

World Court, The Hague: With much fanfare, Pope Hope filed suit against Sir Paul in the world court today in response to Sir Paul’s actions with her IRL image. Pope Hope stated that “…I'm sure members from both sides make their in-game comparisons and jabs as is expected I suppose. The difference between us and what you did with my RL picture is that you crossed the OOC line into personal insult on many occasions, and we do not allow that.” Pope Hope noted that she now has zero-tolerance for any more IRL character slams and will report any more line-crossing to the authorities.<br />
<br />
Sir Paul came out of the courtroom today apologetic, yet determined, to beat this rap. “The ADN doesn’t really have any symbols except Pope Hope’s IRL image, which is posted quite frequently around the forums she’s visited. I never meant to hurt her feelings, and I hope that she knows that I felt that everything was kept in character. If it’s any consolation, I’m sorry for my lack of professionalism, and I’m sorry that I hurt you.”<br />
<br />
Sir Paul has used Pope Hope’s image twice in the past. Once for the infamous “Who’s a bigger Nazi” article, and once for the “Alcatraz” article. In the first, Sir Paul placed Pope Hope, Hitler, and Unlimited’s Avatar next to each other, and then proceeded down a check list to see which government was most Nazi. Despite the disclaimer at the bottom, some felt it crossed the line. The second instance of using Pope Hope IRL image involved photoshoping Borg parts onto her and Vasquez’s IRL image in an ADN=Borg piece. Both images have since been removed and PNN’s new policy dictates that no IRL names, information, or images can be used.<br />
<br />
''Pope Hope, filing the suit in the world court''<br />
<br />
Most people agree that Sir Paul is guilty, and PNN will have hard decisions to make regarding its most famous reporter, who brings in a majority of viewers to both the Pacific Press and the Tabloid Tribune. Insiders say that Sir Paul has already attempted to resign, but that the senate rejected this, instead placing him under suspension. Pierconium stated “Sir Paul has crossed the boundaries of decency, and will be under administrative leave until further notice.”<br />

<br />
'''Firstly, how did you get involved with NationStates?'''<br />
A very dear friend of mine is surviving with cancer. She invited me to join the game and I cannot refuse her any request. Her nation — Nandemo — was wandering through the smaller, founder-based regions and I invited her to join me in the North Pacific. She's been there ever since, even surviving the mass-ejections by UPS Rail and Great Bight.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with The North Pacific? Did you start off here, or come from somewhere else?'''<br />
Thel DRan, my first nation, actually generated in the North Pacific. In truth, I just hadn't noticed there were other regions until about four days after starting NationStates™.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved in the TNP forums?'''<br />
On the very day I noticed that I could change regions, I got my first telegram — from Magicality. She invited me to join the forum of TNP and I decided I'd investigate the community before wandering off to join another one.<br />
<br />
'''Where did you get the idea for the map of The North Pacific, and how, roughly, do you do it?'''<br />
My first week in TNP's forum was an investigation of what the community needed (along with a few embarrassingly n00b questions). I was truly surprised that not only was there no map there seemed never to have been any discussion of one.<br />
<br />
There's a FAQ about the map here.<br />
<br />
'''Did you enjoy The North Pacific Award Ceremony, and how are your awards? Also, where did you get the idea for the design of the awards?'''<br />
I think the Award Ceremony is in my Top Ten of the Best Topics in TNP. I didn't post anything during the planning and development stages because I was in the middle of my delegacy and thought participation might represent inappropriate influence. I was happy to be nominated for Best Topic (as I've a certain amount of pride associated with the map) and very surprised to be nominated for three other awards.<br />
The design of the awards themselves started with a Chinese medallion and was elaborated on, in stages, until it looked "cool." There are elements of Photoshop and Excel drawing functions in it. The dragon came from someone's Family Tree website, and I guess I should have bookmarked that.<br />
<br />
'''I seem to remember that you were/are a member/founder of The Avengers. How did that come about?'''<br />
From time to time, I found a region for no reason at all. Avengers Assemble initially started as an homage to my days as a comic book geek. When I was first banned by UPS Rail, Avengers seemed to be the ideal place to move. Within a week, nearly 100 nations had followed me there and it became one of the hubs of exile activity. I suppose that rate of growth, in conjunction with the truly respected names that turned up there, was the inspiration for the formation of the Government-in-Exile.<br />
<br />
'''Are there any other Non-TNP nations that you particularly admire?'''<br />
Dilber, Galdago, Cortath, Minineenee, all of the folks with whom I regularly AIM chat, and everyone in Lemuria and Avengers Assemble.<br />
<br />
'''During the UPS rail/Great Bight debacle, how did you find out about it, and what were your first thoughts?'''<br />
UPS Rail and I were actually chatting in AIM somewhat regularly before all the matter impacted the fan. I believe he was sincere in his belief that the North Pacific was under the control of a clique. I argued that I was still too new to the game to have been accepted by any such exclusive group. I was quiet surprised to find myself in the Rejected Realms as I thought we'd developed a rapport and he did seem earnest in his desire to help the region.<br />
Great Bight's motivation was and remains harder to figure out.<br />
In combination, their actions made it remarkably easy to advertise my desire to become delegate of the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
'''For those of us too lazy to find the relevant forum, what made you step down as delegate?'''<br />
I'm not certain I've ever outlined this before, except in AIM chat. When I was exiled I began to form a plan for what needed to happen in the North Pacific when order was restored. I am not a military-minded individual by any stretch of the imagination so I was more than happy to leave the Liberation to those who planned the strategies in that capacity.<br />
Once I'd achieved the elements of the "Restoration" that I'd planned while in exile, I didn't see any reason to continue as the delegate. In fact, allowing Sydia to take the position did more to indicate that democracy had been at least partially returned to the North Pacific than any further initiative I might have embarked on.<br />
<br />
'''How did the peace treaty with the PRP start? Did you, another TNP member, or the PRP suggest it? What was you’re initial reaction to this?'''<br />
This is a direct outgrowth of my regular AIM chats with all the NS players I can find who use that program. I was chatting with Unlimited almost immediately after he became the delegate of the Pacific. He seems to be a quite reasonable person and we decided the peace treaty was worth investigating further. If this pans out to mean a lasting and operative agreement, I'll be thrilled. If it does not, I may retire completely from diplomatic affairs. :)<br />
'''<br />
You seem to have taken a lesser role in TNP issues as of late. Is this because you are simply busy with RL issues?'''<br />
While RL is always a factor it is not preventing me from participating in the game of NS. You may notice I am one of the authors of the Critical Response Provisions Act. I'm quite eager to see this eventually ratified as the Constitution's second amendment.<br />
I maintain an almost daily conversation with the leaders of each Pacific region. And when everyone is online, I host Pacific Delegate meetings.<br />
I have not resigned from the UN nor moved out of TNP (except during the endorsement vigil of Magicality) and plan to stay (at the least) for the resolution of the PRP treaty.<br />
In short, I'm not out. I'm just less noisy.<br />
<br />
'''How do you feel The North Pacific will evolve with the changes within Nation States? Will we adapt and deal with the changes, or simply fall behind? If we are to change, what aspects of the TNP do you think will change?'''<br />
Unfortunately, I am not the arbiter of the evolution of the region and I probably should not seek to become so. I do see us and the entire game on the cusp of a new and broader identity. It will be interesting to see if and how this can be achieved.<br />
<br />
'''Ok, now for the not so serious stuff:<br />
What type of music do you listen to?'''<br />
World-Influenced Dark Eclectic (WIDE), being my own approach to the gothic scene.<br />
<br />
'''What other hobbies do you have?'''<br />
Art, maps, alternative history and science fiction, writing, comics (yes, still), and a broad spectrum of sociological research.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently that you would care to share?'''<br />
I'm planning a huge event in November (this year) that I'm quite proud of and hope goes well. It will be a large gothic party in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
'''I’m strangely drawn to shiny objects and weaponry. What are you drawn to?'''<br />
Oddness. Heresy. Conversation with the Intelligencia.<br />
<br />
'''How’s the weather in Philadelphia?'''<br />
Today: Bright and clear. Tomorrow: Chance of rain.<br />
<br />
'''Have you got a favourite food stuff?'''<br />
Sushi. Bloody Mary marinated steak and shrimp. Pizza.<br />
<br />
'''Anchovies! What’s your opinion?'''<br />
Very cool (though still a bit like running your tongue along a pier).<br />
<br />
'''Poe or Ananke?'''<br />
I have to choose? I chat much more frequently with Poe.<br />
<br />
'''Thel D'Ran, thank you very much.'''<br />
<br />

<br />
''Originally posted in The North Pacific News Central on 19/10/2004)''<br />
<br />
'''Who first introduced you to NationStates?'''<br />
Hrmmm…honestly, I have no idea who it was. I had been posting at a poetry forum for a couple months earlier this year (like, way earlier, we’re talking January) and one day it was really boring and no one was posting. So I went looking around, reading old threads and stumbled upon this post in the “recommended sites” section, about making your own country, and I thought I’d go check it out. I had done model UN in high school and stuff, and have always been fascinated with geography, so I made up some random nation title, and hung around the HQ and read stuff for the first few days. I wasn’t ever really interested in moving to another region. The lucky thing is, that I read that poetry site thread when I did, because only a couple weeks after I startes NS-ing, the poetry site shut down. I could still be floundering in cyberspace with nothing to do! The dire consequences of that idea scare me to death. :D<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with The North Pacific forums?'''<br />
Well, you know how it is…three days with nothing to do but hang around the HQ is bound to make any bored person decide to check out the forum link! I had gone to the NS forums, and they were just far too big and messy and full of obnoxious people. So I figured I’d start out a bit smaller and went to just TNP forum instead. Originally under the member name “Psychotic Head of Creepugnasia” until Sydia (whom I thought was a girl at the time) posted something in the Pet Peeves thread about people with really long member names, so I changed it to Poe. Because Poe was the fugitive ex-heiress of Creepugnasia. Her dad was the communist dictator, until it was over thrown. Her full name was actually Poem, but I shortened it to Poe because Poem is just far too cheesy and pansy to garner any respect. Poe will beat you up if you piss her off. Poem, she’ll whimper and bat her eyelashes, hoping someone will be nice to her. Somewhere early along the way, though, Poe stopped being an RP character, and now she’s just me. Someone who bats her eyelashes while beating you up. :D<br />
<br />
'''What made you leave The North Pacific for a while?'''<br />
Which time? :lol:<br />
<br />
'''What do you think about the recent discussions with the PRP?'''<br />
I think that discussions with the PRP are great. Those old NPO guys are actually really fun, and I rather enjoyed the time that I spent as a “spy” over there. It’s nice to have them around the NP forum. And I think that things will work out. However, if we do end up signing treaties with them, I’m wondering how we’ll work things out with the ADN, since that would be treason. Will we be kicked out of the ADN? Who knows? All I know is that Sir Paul’s tabloids are wildly entertaining.<br />
<br />
'''How’s Lemuria going?'''<br />
Lemuria is going swimmingly! Honestly the detail and work and background and effort that Thel has put into it amazes me. It’s going to go so far! I can feel it in my guts. If you haven’t gone to look around the forum, you really ought to. It’s awesome.<br />
<br />
'''Any thoughts on who would make a good next delegate?'''<br />
Personally, I would love to see Flemingovia as delegate of TNP. Or DD or Virtual Boy. There was a time when I wanted to be delegate…if only for a day, just because I thought it would be cool, but having been the delegate in Lemuria, I’m content in a lowly spammer role, where I can wield influence and subtle power with my wit and charm. Or as some would say, my “feminine wiles.” :lol:<br />
<br />
'''What is your favourite development in NationStates at the moment?'''<br />
Ya know, I really couldn’t tell you! *leans in and whispers* Can you keep a secret? I’m not really in it for the game these days…I’m here for all you awesome people, who I consider to be my friends. The OOC is the coolest place on the web. And the people in it are “da baermb,” as Coach Z would say.<br />
<br />
'''And now for the less serious stuff:'''<br />
Wait. There was serious stuff?!<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell the newbie’s a bit about yourself?'''<br />
I talk more than anyone should. But I try to be entertaining about it, and when it’s not entertaining, it’s at least quirky. And I hope they’re not scared of me…I try not to be scary, but sometimes my insanity just makes me come across that way. And I really REALLY hope they’re not intimidated, because I love getting to know people. They should probably know that I tend to be very sarcastic at times, and if I ever say anything that comes across as offensive, I really don’t mean it that way. Um, other than that, I’m a twenty-something who’s not sure what to do with herself. But I like to have fun and goof off, and I’d know what I want to be when I grow up if I were ever sure that I was going to grow up.<br />
<br />
'''Is there anything interesting that you've done recently?'''<br />
I recently quit school and work to “find myself” and to recover from some health problems that I’ve been having. Other then that, um…I recently re-opened a non-NS forum that my online friends (most of whom are NSers… actually, all of them are, I think…) and I hang out at. It’s a cool little place. I like it. You can come visit anytime you’d like! It’s found at: '''Dead link omitted''' (sorry for that blantant plug there… :lol: actually, no I’m not! ;) )<br />
<br />
'''What’s your favourite food stuff?'''<br />
Hummmm…that’s a hard one. I would have to say Chinese, ice cream, or DD. Oh wait. Food? Chinese food. More specifically lo mein, mongolian barbecue, jaudze (potstickers), and oh, anything. Mmm Chinese food! Dessert? Ice cream. All kinds. The best thing in the world is eating strawberry ice cream (with real strawberry chunks in it, of course) on a swing at three in the afternoon on a summer day. DD is for snacking between meals…Heh.<br />
<br />
'''How’s the weather with you?'''<br />
It’s raining and I am positively giddy! I adore rain. I go out and lie on my trampoline when it rains. I love the smell of rain, the sound of rain, the color of rain, the feel of rain…it’s delicious. Rain is my favorite kind of weather, so I’m in an awesome mood today.<br />
'''<br />
Music! What are your favourite band/artists at the moment?'''<br />
Currently, I am on a Jeff Buckley kick. I splurged at the recod store and bought a 5-cd compilation called “The Grace Eps.” It’s an obscure collection of some hard to find EPs of his that were released in Europe and stuff, very, very cool. I have a huge crush on Jeff Buckley, which is odd, I know, because he’s dead and all…but then, I have a huge crush on Bernini’s David statue…so it’s not like I’m weird. ;) Besides Jeff Buckley, I’ve been listening to lots of stuff from Casiotone For The Painfully Alone. A one-guy band type deal, he mixes all of his songs on keyboards, including a little casio one. And the lyrics are just great. They’re sad songs, mostly, but I love it, because I think everyone can relate to them. If you haven’t ever heard of him, check them out. I’m sure there’s a link in my “Song of The Day” thread in the OOC.<br />
<br />
'''What's your favourite film?'''<br />
My favorite film? Hrmmm…that’s so hard. I have so many favorite movies, although I haven’t seen many of the classics. I love the Lord of The Rings movies. I still cry watching Return of The King…and I’ve seen it about 20 times. The minute Sam starts carrying Frodo up the mountain, I pretty much bawl to the end credits. Other awesome movies,that I love are Waking Ned Devine, What About Bob?, The Spanish Prisoner, Shadowlands (a film about CS Lewis, starring Anthony Hopkins), and Muppet Treasure Island. There are so many, but those are the ones that I watch over and over. Oh, and a kind of obscure documentary/art type film called “Baraka.” Gorgeous cinematography.<br />
<br />
'''<br />
Alligators or Crocodiles?'''<br />
Nile Crocodiles. Those are the coolest nature documentaries. The National Geographic ones of the Nile Crocodiles, where you’ve got the stupid wildebeest who go up to the water, and they’re like “Oh! He’s not looking, hurry get a drink! I think he’s asleep!” And the gullible one sticks his head in the water, and then in the next three seconds, his head is gone and the crocodile’s there grinning with a leg hanging out of his mouth going, “Wha? Wasn’t me, I swear! Heh heh heh. I’ll get you my pretties…” They’re so badass. I’m scared to death of them.<br />
<br />
'''Do you know what laver bread is?'''<br />
I don’t…but if I were to venture a guess, I’m thinking it’s the kind of cakes that girls with speech impediments bake for the guys they have crushes on to impress them with their mad cooking skillz.<br />
<br />
'''Last question, the one that everyone is afraid to ask, but knows the answer to:<br />
<br />
VB or DD?'''<br />
*laughs* Awww…it’s so hard! I haven’t had the privelege of getting to know Veebs as well as I know DD, so it’s a rather biased opinion. I have to say DD. If I didn’t I’d be lying. I’m madly in love with the guy. He’s got animal magnetism oozing from every pore or something. He’s the only person that can regularly leaves me speechless. If he were a nile crocodile, the other wildebeast wouldn’t have to tell me to sneak a drink, I’d walk straight in without even flinching. Plus, he’s an Invader Zim fan, and puts up with my dorkiness. That’s a keeper, that is. I would try to impress him with my mad baking skillz, but it’s a hard thing to do virtually, you know. Not that I haven’t tried.<br />
<br />
'''Thanks Poe, Its been great talking to you!'''<br />

===Pixiedance/Cathyy interview (Nov. 3, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pixiedance-cathyy-interview-t553.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
''(Originally posted in the North Pacific News Central on 20/10/2004, before Pixiedance became delegate.)''<br />
My next interview is with Cathyy, also known as Pixiedance.<br />
<br />
'''It seems that few people know much about you, despite beginning around here for a while, and I'll like to take this opportunity to shed some light on you, particularly as you have declared that you are running for delegate.'''<br />
Oooh that makes me sound rather mysterious :) Can I have some over-sized sun-glasses, maybe I could get used to that image.<br />
<br />
'''Firstly, how did you get introduced to NationStates?'''<br />
Another forum that I chat on/post on, someone mentioned something about going off to sort their nation out. I thought it sounded interesting so I went and had a look at their nation and it went from there really. The slightly annoying thing is that this wasn't a person I knew particularly well and for the life of me now I can't remember who they were/who their nation is!<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with the TNP forums?'''<br />
Well, when I first 'landed' in NS I was pretty clueless about how it worked. (Guess we all had to be sometime!) So, for a while I didn't do very much other than look at my issues and watch how they affected my nation. Then I began to get telegrams - from people like Thel, welcoming me to the region. And then I began to read the forum as I'd been given the link.<br />
<br />
'''Which TNP member/s do you most respect?'''<br />
Well, I think it's hard to single out one or even a group. Thel was the first person who I spoke to via chat and we got to know each other pretty well. Thel's energy astounds me - look at all the stuff he produces for the region. I think he made a great Delegate and acted as a hugely important focal point during the GB affair.<br />
Wilks I sort of think of as a wise elder statesman (he'll kill me for that I bet!!) And I think the same of quite a lot of others. The ones I’m thinking of definitely include also Ananke...the names and legends we all know.<br />
Poe, Virtual Boy - also legends :)<br />
Magicality is probably the person I have most regrets that I didn't get a chance to speak with as she was already ill by the time I got here.<br />
<br />
'''What made you decide to run for delegate, and in what ways will you change the North Pacific?'''<br />
Well, I’ve thought about it off and on for a while and I’ve been collecting endorsements for a long time. i suppose you get to a point where you think. OK, well all these people are endorsing me....so maybe I'd like to take it that one step further. I also believe that I could do a good job at it, because I'm the sort of person who would rather not do something at all if I can't do it well.<br />
I would like to improve the way information works and flows through the region. I'd like to see better links between here and the Regional HQ. I'd also like to see better co-ordination and accountability between the ministries. And I'd like to see wider participation in the forum, which I see as crucial.<br />
<br />
'''What is your opinion on the talks between the PPR/TNP? How do you think the Ukraine incident will effect this, and what is your overall view of the incident?'''<br />
This would be a very complicated answer and one which I would need to research more so I'm going to skip it for here but if anyone wants to pose it in my candidacy thread I'll deal with it there, when I have a little more time than right now.<br />
<br />
'''You were very active during the UPS Rail/Great Bight incident. What is your opinion on this, and how do you think it has effected the whole of the North Pacific?'''<br />
I think it was a horrible time for the whole region. However, positive things often can come out of bad things. I think allies and friendships were strengthened during that time. Not only that, we showed that we could work together and eventually triumph over the wrong-doing of GB.<br />
I think it has made people a lot more wary. That's a double-edged sword really. I think democracy is worth protecting and so a certain wariness is right. But we do need to find a balance between that and ostracising people. But i think it's human nature that when you've been attacked you become more vigilant. Again, I don't see that as a bad thing.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think the future holds for NationStates and the North Pacific?'''<br />
Well, I'm sure a pay-to-play version will have a huge impact on NationStates. But NationStates and the region are the sum of all of their parts, i.e. members/players. So, in that sense it's almost impossible to predict. I'd like to think that the future would involve co-operation between nations and regions and that, in particular, we continue to develop as a community for the region. But that relies firstly on the information flows that i referred to earlier. I see those as key.<br />
People need to see the links between what are essentially two separate parts of the whole - NS and the wider community of both this region and the whole game.<br />
<br />
'''Less serious stuff coming up:<br />
What do you do in RL?'''<br />
I work in the health service in communication and management.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently?'''<br />
Doing soon. I'm going to Paris for the first time. So i'm really looking forward to that. :)<br />
<br />
'''What are you having for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack of choice?'''<br />
In an ideal world....calorie-free chocolate for all of them!<br />
<br />
'''Any particular type of music, or band/artist you've listened to recently?'''<br />
I love anything from the 80s really. And I'm old enough to remember that stuff first time round - so I expect partly it's nostalgia or wishing I was 10 years younger!<br />
<br />
'''Name a random movie!'''<br />
A Fish Called Wanda<br />
<br />
'''What’s best for a fondue: chocolate or cheese?'''<br />
Chocolate!!!<br />
<br />
'''Right, I've run out of things to say.Thank you for the interview!'''<br />
Many thanks for asking me :)<br />

===Sir Paul Interview (Nov. 3, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sir-paul-interview-t554.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
'''My next is interview is with Sir Paul, PRP senator.<br />
How were you introduced to NationStates?'''<br />
I was reading an article of Newsweek and noticed that they mentioned a free online political simulation game. Yes, I’m that much of a nerd. I started in July of last year, was born in the Pacific, and the rest is history.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved in the Pacific forums (NPO and PRP), and subsequently, how did you get involved with the North Pacific forums?'''<br />
I didn’t pay much attention to goings on outside of my nation until the Francos Spain situation, where I found myself in the Rejected Realms. I decided that I wanted to live in the Pacific, and decided that I would work inside the system to affect change. Thus, I swore my allegiance to Franco if he would let me return. I did some work for the republic, was elevated to Senator, and have been enacting reforms from the inside ever since.<br />
<br />
'''What is your opinion of Francos Spain?'''<br />
Franco was a visionary in that he created a stable government with the ideals of Peace, Strength, and Prosperity. He and the senate created a system of government with delegation of authority, responsiveness to the people, and a good amount of security. His leaving the game has left a shadow and an emptiness in the Pacific that can never truly be filled.<br />
<br />
'''How did you start the Tabloid Tribune?'''<br />
I didn’t start the Tabloid Tribune, Bertram Strantous did. He started the tabloid thread, and I took over as he became less active. I’ve since created the Pacific News Network, with the Pacific Press (legitimate, somewhat funny, news) and the Tabloid Tribune (funny, nonsensical, fake news).<br />
<br />
'''Could you explain a bit about the organization of the Pacific into provinces?'''<br />
As the Pacific became more active, we created the governorships to ensure a responsive government, such as telegramming people about upcoming events, getting people active, and rallying the populace during invasion.<br />
Since, we’ve re-organized into 6 provinces of about the same size, and the elected governors create whatever kind of micro-government they so choose. The main duties of the provinces are to keep the government close to the people and ensure activity. Each province is run differently, so I’ll defer your readers to the ministry of interior for more information regarding each province.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think about the current PRP/TNP talks?'''<br />
<br />
I think that this is a real chance for a lasting peace in the Pacific. Unfortunately, certain multi-regional organizations who wish to demonize the PRP will try and throw a monkey-wrench in the process, but hopefully, cooler heads can prevail.<br />
<br />
'''Could you sum up your own personal views on the Ukraine incident?'''<br />
*Warning: Propagandist rhetoric to follow*<br />
From what I understand, the founder of Ukraine (Francos Spain) quite a while ago, declared that the Ukraine was part of the USSR, much like North and South Korea. After the Soviet revolution, RedCommunist began a policy of region-building. Upon moving into the Ukraine, GLA and TITO moved in and greifed the region, ejecting 20% of the natives. In order to ensure that invaders or the ADN did not take the delegacy, the USSR invoked the Union of Sovereigns Alliance, and thus, the PRP was obligated to protect and defend USSR territory.<br />
I asked RedCommunist if bringing in the PRP into the Ukraine was a good idea, as I was sure certain propaganda ministers would use the situation to take the Ukraine from the USSR. He assured me that the ADN had no designs for it, and his chief concern was from invaders. Unfortunately, my fears proved true, and the alphabet soup organizations moved on Ukraine, invading Union of Sovereign soil. So, this thing then got turned into a “PRP expansionist operation” when it was us coming to the aid of a beleaguered ally who helped defend us against so many attacks in the past.<br />
So, I now call upon the ADN/GLA/TITO/NPA or whoever the heck is occupying Ukraine to ask the natives WHAT THEY WANT. That’s my biggest beef with “defenders.” Defenders no longer wait for a native call for help, and they no longer endorse native delegates. That’s not defending the native delegacy, that’s invading and occupying. Once all this is sorted out, hopefully they will leave and the natives can once again begin the process of region building with the help of the USSR.<br />
*End propagandist rhetoric*<br />
<br />
'''Could you sum up your own personal views on the UPS Rail/Great Bight incident?'''<br />
Well, I got to meet UPS Rail (Rich) and he seems like a nice enough guy. A guy with an interesting plan of action. He felt that TNP was suffering from an “old boys club” mentality and he felt that Nationstates was dying from inactivity. He called us up, asking for senator-status if he allied with us. He was then planning on using the international outrage as a rallying point to eventually invade the Pacific, using our secrets and intel from our boards against us. We never took him up on the offer, and he resigned in shame. He told me he wanted an outsider, Collostium, to take over, but make one critical mistake…<br />
The Great Blight thing. God, I hated that annoying pirate banter, but he provided the NPO an interesting opportunity. In exchange for support from the evil empire, we could squelch the NPA threat. At that time, we felt that TNP was the biggest obstacle to peace in the Pacific, and thus, if we supported the pirate government, we knew the ADN would first liberate you guys before they would attack us. In essence, ALSO would become a buffer for the NPO.<br />
Confidentially, (this is just between me and TNP readers), I was appalled by the actions of the government, and secretly I was glad that the government fell. The people of TNP deserved much better. Not even Poskrebychev was that bad.<br />
<br />
'''What, in your opinion, is in store for NationStates, and the Pacific, in the future?'''<br />
Nationstates will slowly die out and lose nations, but the ones that remain will stay active. I see new alliances forming, and I see the possibility of peace in the Pacific. Whether it’s through armed occupation or diplomacy is up to you ;-).<br />
<br />
'''Now, as is my custom, now into the less serious stuff:<br />
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?'''<br />
Sure. I’m a graduate student at UCLA in urban planning. I’m from Bakersfield, and am adjusting to LA slowly but sharply. See, I don’t much like Bush, on account that he’s too liberal, but by the time I leave I’m sure I’ll be a pot-toking communist hippie.<br />
<br />
'''Have you got any hobbies in that fabled land of 'Real Life'?'''<br />
I’m a nikyu (brown belt) in judo, and I enjoy writing, hiking, cooking, and eating.<br />
<br />
'''What are you reading at the moment?'''<br />
Cadillac Desert.<br />
<br />
'''Which bands/artists are you listening to?'''<br />
I’ve got eclectic taste in music, listening to Pachabell, 5 for fighting, Papa Roach, R. Kelley, etc.<br />
<br />
'''Whereabouts are you, and how’s the weather?'''<br />
I’m in beautiful Westwood (west LA) and it is raining.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think killed the dinosaurs: a complex series of events that they were ill-equipped to adapt to, and therefore died out according to the theory of natural selection; or a big lump of rock from outer space?'''<br />
Ah, I’m glad you asked, because I have an extensive background in Geology. The dinosaurs died out at the end of Cretaceous epoch about 65 million years ago at the K/T boundary. To creationist, the dinos either bit the dust because the great flood killed them, or their bones were put there by Satan to confuse us into not accepting Christ and the Old Testament. I personally believe that God wouldn’t confuse us in this manner, so I accept that a climate change caused by the Yucatan meteor caused the mass extinction, as ordained by God.<br />
<br />
'''Which films are you planning on seeing?'''<br />
I’m planning on seeing Shrek II, I hear that’s great.<br />
<br />
'''Any particular foods you like?'''<br />
Everything except Korean. I just can’t wrap my head around Kim Chi, but if I had to pick one genre, I’d go with Basque. There’s just something about pickled cow-tongue and ox-tail stew.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently?'''<br />
I hosted my first kegger at my new flat (apartment). Kids, don’t drink unless you are 21, in the military, or have a fully developed liver.<br />
<br />
'''Poe or LadyRebels?'''<br />
Sorry Poe, but it’s LadyRebels. She’s in the Superfriends AND Legion of Doom.<br />
<br />
'''Sir Paul, Thank you.'''<br />

===Governors Officially Take Office on 1 November (Nov. 6, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/governors-officially-take-office-t576.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''Governor The New Duce of Province H-L argues before the AoG about the size of the new militia''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, Franco City, The Pacific.'' On 1 November 2004, four governors officially took office: '''Andropov''' of Province non-letters-C; '''[[Mussolandia in NationStates|The New Duce]]''' of Province H-L; '''MistStlkr''' of Province M-P; and '''Sedarva''' of Province Q-S. All four are said to be in great spirits and have been working diligently to create their governments.<br />
<br />
With the full complement of governors now in office, the governors have officially created the Assembly of Governors (AoG) which is a lower house of the PRP government. This AoG has the ability to vote on legislation passed down from the Senate, and it can create its own legislation to hand to the Senate. This is a great victory for democracy since this lower house will be able to participate in the policy making process for the People of the Pacific region. "It's a momentous time in the Pacific," stated Senator of Internal Affairs Warrior Thorin. "The people can now go to their provincial governors and as for legislation to be passed up to the Senate. Why is this important? Because the people are now given a voice to dictate policy for this region. This is the manifestation of democracy, and you can look forward to more changes to come as the AoG takes on more issues."<br />
<br />
The AoG has already been involved in the development of policy. The AoG was presented with a suggestion from the Senate to create a militia for the purpose of defense for the region. "What ensued was a very creative process," stated Delegate Unlimited. "They took control right away of the militia to make sure that there would be no unauthorized use of it. I was very impressed with their policy making capability. The People should know that they worked very hard to protect the People's interests!"<br />
<br />
Democracy is being formed, despite what some of the naysayers posit. The people now have the direct capability to create legislation, something that was not provided for in the days of the NPO. "I am greatly honored to work with the People," stated Governor Andropov, "and it is equally a pleasure to work with the other governors. We might have disagreements occasionally, but we are protecting the best interests of our provinces."<br />
<br />
===Meritocratic Elections: Democracy in Action (Nov. 12, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/meritocratic-elections-t609.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Alan Keyes saying that Jesus would not vote for Eli''<br />
<br />
Senate Chambers, The New Meritocracy: It’s that timepart again when the Meritocracy elects a new Consul. The consul’s position entails selecting a cabinet, enforcing the laws, and is the embodiment of the senate. The current election is a pivotal one for the region, with the heart and soul up for grabs. The candidates are the fine, upstanding senators Eli and Cortath.<br />
<br />
Eli comes from the mean streets of North America and is running on a platform of outreach and recruitment. The Meritocracy has been declining in membership, and is becoming more withdrawn from the world, especially with the termination of the ADMA treaty. He is advocating for an active diplomatic corps, and hopes that the senate will not stick to neutrality, but enter into the world stage.<br />
<br />
Eli wrote:<br />
I supported the ADMA treaty during its time. It has now been rejected by the Senate, if I am elected Consul I will not attempt to change the Senate's will in this matter. The ALL is a treaty joined by this organization over a year ago and I support its continuance. I will be friendly to the ADN as I will to the rest of the NS world. My goal is to be very active diplomatically and to spread the good name of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
Cortath, on the other hand, hails from the ADN (as a representative), and as a complete 180 from Eli, believes that the Met hangs on to neutrality way to much. He gave a stirring speech on the senate floor.<br />
<br />
Cortath wrote:<br />
The word on everyone's lips is "neutrality". But what is neutrality? Is neutrality when one is given two choices, you must choose neither? Go down the middle road? To paraphrase Yogi, when you come to a fork in the road, do you take it (that's a joke, for those of you not familiar with the famous Yankees catcher)? I do not believe neutrality is always forcing yourself to take a middle road, or to not take a road at all. That's not neutrality in my eyes. Neutrality is keeping your options open, so that you have as many roads open as possible. Granted, sometimes we will go down that middle road, or go down no road at all, but the Meritocracy, in order to keep those roads open, in order for our light to always be a welcoming beacon, must take positions on those issues that are right and just. As the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., said, "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict. " I believe that the crisis in The North Pacific was a great low point in the history of the Meritocracy. Regardless of one's position, hestitating for even a moment to fulfill one's mandatory treaty obligations, is frankly, a shame. And why did we hestitate? Neutrality.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cortath, confused on the meaning of the words Neutrality and is<br />
<br />
To help the senator out, we would like to present him with what neutrality really is…<br />
<br />
\Neu*tral"i*ty\, n. [Cf. F. neutralit['e].] – The state or quality of being neutral; the condition of being unengaged in contests between others; state of taking no part on either side, especially nonparticipation in war ; indifference.<br />
<br />
So, with one senator advocating the end of neutrality, and another advocating a new interpretation of it, the citizens of the Meritocracy have a difficult choice this election.<br />
-------<br />
UPDATE: Eli beats Cortath - wins 28 (70%) to 12 (30%).<br />

===Sarda Elected as the First President of The Assembly of Governors (Nov. 16, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sarda-voted-as-first-president-of-the-aog-t649.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' Sarda, Governor of Tantus Pacificus, was elected as the first President of the Assembly of Governors (AoG). "I'm relieved this election is over. It was pretty close," sighed Sarda who awaited for the final votes to be tallied early this morning.<br />
<br />
For those who don't know, the President of the AoG, "...has the responsibility to mediate the discussion of any new legislation. The president also shall declare when the discussion has come to a close and the matter is ready for a vote. In the event that the result of the AoG vote is a tie, the President will cast the deciding vote." [taken from the Legislation Procedures of the AoG posted in the People's Palace]. Sarda begins a 30 day term essentially leading legislation discussions and votes.<br />
<br />
In this first election, the Senator of Internal Affairs did not have to cast a vote. Sarda issued the following statement: "...it's truly an honor to be elected as the first President of the first democratically elected legislature in the Pacific. I hope to serve up to the standards of excellence Francos set for us all when he built up our first Senate."<br />

===The Status of the Pacific: The Rise of the Republic (Nov. 21, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-status-of-the-pacific-t715.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''This article was originally submitted to the NSN on 21 November 2004''<br />
<br />
''Thorinopolis, Warrior Thorin.'' The recent events of the rise of an underground movement has led me to consider that the time is appropriate for the readers of this great news service to hear our side of the what is happening in The Pacific. I am not writing this to dispatch the good people of the Underground Movement; instead I wish to simply explain what it is that we are working very hard at in The Pacific.<br />
<br />
On 1 September 2004, the Republic was announced, supplanting the New Pacific Order (NPO) as the formal government of The Pacific. There were some immediate changes to this new government, of which I have been surprised that few people have noticed. Unlimited replaced Poskrebyshev as the delegate of the Pacific, and two new Senators were added (Pierconium and myself; BlackAdder was added in the final days of the NPO). This changed the old "hardline" stance that was prevalent in the old Senate. Gone are now the great revolutionaries Francos Spain, InfernoIce, Bertram Strantrous, and Poskrebyshev. Now the Senate is comprised of Mammothistan (the last of the original NPO Senators), and a crew of Senators and a Delegate who at one time were in opposition to the NPO.<br />
<br />
The dynamic of this group is important for the growth of the Revolution, but you cannot understand this group's beliefs without first examining the history of the Revolution. In August of 2003, Francos Spain removed Theodoc as the delegate of The Pacific, thereby eliminating what we perceived was a very corrupt government. From that moment on, forces emerged to try and force Francos Spain from power, many of whom were not of Pacific origin (including Myrdinn, my original nation who descended from the South Pacific and joined the RRA). The North Pacific declared war on The Pacific, as did the organization that became The ADN. The West Pacific and the South Pacific also made attacks on The Pacific. We lived in a time in which martial law had to be installed to protect the region from foreign aggression, thereby preserving its sovereignty.<br />
<br />
People have asked me if they were once in opposition to the NPO could they ever be permitted back? The answer is definitely yes. I was once fervently against the NPO, creating countless number of puppets to try and infiltrate it. Sir Paul was banned speaking out against Francos Spain. And yet, when you really examine the history of the war, it becomes clear why we all joined the Revolution. The Pacific's sovereignty was in jeopardy. What I see happened in the Revolution was that the people spoke and chose Francos Spain over Theodoc, but Theodoc and his crew were unhappy about losing their grasp on the Pacific and were willing to sacrifice the region's sovereignty for the sole purpose to regain power of the region. The NPO was committed to preserving the sovereignty of the region. It was unfortunate that it had to declare martial law to do it.<br />
<br />
Yet, Pax Pacifica did eventually happen. There was a brief time early this year in which the attacks seemed to level off. Yet, the threats were always there. Several operations would be launched against the Pacific by foreign aggressors and The Pacific would respond to protect the region. When a delegate arose in The North Pacific, the Pacific decided to support him and his initial successor for the protection of our sovereignty. However, my opinion is that we erred in this endeavor as we forgot that we were challenging the sovereignty of another region; however I shall point out that this is my own opinion on the matter.<br />
<br />
When Francos Spain left the game due to a real life tragedy, Poskrebyshev would also leave and thus came the rise of the Republic. It was amorphous in many ways when we first launched the newer government, but it is now taking form. When the forum was created, we had developed The People's Palace with the intent that this would be the place that the creation of the Republic would take place. It would be here that the people would develop the schema by which the Republic will take form. It is happening now.<br />
<br />
The first obvious change was in regard to the governorship of the six provinces. In Francos Spain's original template, each lettered provinced was to have its own unique governor (I was once the Governor of Province Y). However, we realized that we could collapse the provinces and make six very unique provinces; each could be basically a region within the region. The People elect the governors in free elections. I can't say that there weren't any problems in the initial elections, but we are new at this, and it was apparent that the people made their choices. The closest election concerned Andropov's whose election had to be re-run over a lack of clarity in the election process. I firmly believe that we did the right thing, and we learned valuable lessons about the election process.<br />
<br />
We now have an important high house, the Assembly of Governors. The AoG is charged with voting on all domestic legislation that is passed down from the Senate, and the AoG can develop its own legislation as well. It is currently discussing the parameters and the possibility of creating a People's Congress for the inclusion of all interested citizens of The Pacific to create and discuss domestic legislation.<br />
<br />
The AoG is an important step in the reformation of the old government to the Republic. The people chose their representatives to create rules and legislation that impact the region. In the old NPO, the government was actually more paternalistic in that they made their decisions the way they saw fit without much consultation with the populace. Today, the people are given their voice. However, when the Congress has taken shape, each individual voice will be furthered empowered to address all concerns.<br />
<br />
The Republic, then, is quite a bit different than the other so-called democratic institutions that exist throughout NS. In a democracy, leaders have been chosen by popular vote; the person who is liked the most for whatever reason is elected. That leader also has a dilemma: if he/she upsets any group of people, he/she could have his/her leadership challenged and may not be able to stay in power. In fact, you can see where instability has often occurred in these kinds of regions if you look carefully. The Republic ensures stability by chosing the right person for the job. It will carefully cultivate the citizens so that they any may rise with the right ideals to ascend to leadership positions, not based on popularity but based on worthiness. Does this mean that elections for the delegate position will never happen? Absolutely not. It means that the citizens will be more responsible in how they choose their leaders. Each person, we hope, will understand that the preservation of The Pacific sovereignty lies in the strength of the Republic. It is our opinion that the Republic will have better citizens in the future because each person will be involved in the decision of the region, and that participation will ensure a great deal of investment to the Republic.<br />
<br />
A lot has been made concerning whether Senators should be elected. I have thought about this a great deal having a mixed, if not ambivalent, opinion on the matter. However, it is clear that the Senate is comprised of some special individuals who are there for the same ideals of the People. Yet, what is different is that they ascended to their position based on the principle of merit. The Senate has always chosen their own, and I submit that they will continue to do so for some time. Is this nefarious? Is this some conspiracy scheme? No. After all, how is it that one becomes a Senator in the Meritocracy? Many apply, few are chosen, and all based on the assumption that you cannot attain a Senate position without proving merit. In a true Republic in which all of the citizens will become vested in the growth of The Pacific, I assume that our Senate will expand due to the merits of many of our citizens. Yet, the Senate should remain a special place; a place to aspire if one is truly interested in the civics of the region. Currently, the Senate handles all foreign policies and also maintains the security of the region. We run into many complications if we merely open it up for an elected person; eventually those who would oppose us (be it the ADN or invading organizations) would infiltrate the Senate and we would have the task of fighting them with our flanks exposed.<br />
<br />
Much has also been made of our development of the People's Militia, of which I have been surprised. There is a distinct difference between a militia and an army, and I wish to point this out because many people seem to confuse the two. An army is a formal organization; a militia is not. Our militia is being developed by the governors of the provinces, thereby they will be trained and maintained by the People. All citizens can participate as much as they like. The militia is created for the purpose of defense for our region, not for the purpose of becoming an invading or "defending" organization. We are indeed a part of the Union of Soveriegns, and we need to be able to help protect our allies if they are attacked, just as they are willing to assist us if we are attacked. Yet, we have no formal army and The Pacific will never have a standing army. The militia is a defensive organization setup to be governed by the People.<br />
<br />
If you look carefully, you should note some vast improvements on the Republic in the short time that it has existed. There is discussion about further improvements, all of which we hope will create better citizens for the region and perhaps for all of NationStates. If one looks carefully at each of the feeder regions, you will noticed that each one has developed a different form of government. We do not criticize those other formations or ideologies, but we do criticize the attacks that people make upon us for creating our Republic. In the end, we argue that regional soverignty has played a vital part of our developing ideology, and that we have come to the conclusion that the development of a republic is a fair and equitable way for all citizens to participate in their civic duties should be seen as a great thing rather than being continually attacked. For those who are not a part of The Pacific, I ask that you remain distant from our soveriegn region unless you intend to extend either a sign of friendship or at least an observant curiousity. For those who are a part of the Pacific, I say come help us build your government. There are many people who tire of the concerns of subversion and terrorism; we extend a warm greeting to those who would rather build than to destroy.<br />
<br />
As I have stated before, The Republic is not the Senate; it is The People of The Pacific. It is the average citizen who is looking for his or her niche. If you reside in the Pacific, then The Republic is you.<br />

===Three Governor Provinces are Opening for Upcoming Elections (Nov. 26, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/offices-open-for-election-t776.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Governor Sarda of Tantus Pacificus During his Acceptance Speech in September''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' The Senator of Internal Affairs has released the following press statement concerning the expiration of terms for two of the governors, and a third office opening due to the inactivity of Andropov.<br />
<br />
Province Francos Spain Memorial (D-G) and Province Tantus Pacificus (T-Z) are due to have elections in the coming weeks as these two provinces' governors' terms are expiring on 1 January. Candidates, to include the current governors, are to fill out their applications and post them in the Ministry of the Interior by Sunday, December 12th, 2004. Elections will run 13 December - 19 December.<br />
<br />
Province Croyance (Non-Letters-C) will also be on the ballot due to Andropov's abandonment. Again, all candidates who wish to run for this province are encouraged to apply by December 12th, 2004.<br />
<br />
The following criteria must be met by any potential candidates for the position of governor:<br />
<br />
First, check to make sure you meet the minimum requirements:<br />
<br />
1) Your Nation must be in the UN (Note: In some circumstances, this requirement may be waived by approval of the Delegate of the Republic. If it is waived, the Governor must ensure that the Vice-Governor is a UN Nation)<br />
<br />
2) Your Nation must reside in The Pacific<br />
<br />
3) Your Nation must have a population of at least 100 million<br />
<br />
4) You must have made at least 10 posts in the forum<br />
<br />
5) You must complete the application process and answer questions in satisfactory matter. Questions may be posed by anyone, but especially by the Senators<br />
<br />
6) You must be elected by the People on a poll that will be set up once the questioning period is completed. Polls will run for one week.<br />
<br />
7) Upon being selected as a Governor, you must swear an oath:<br />
"I, [state your name], as a servant of the People's Republic of The Pacific and resident of the Pacific, do swear by my faith, honor, and blood to fulfill the capacity of Provincial Governor to the best of my ability, to defend the Judicial Code of the Pacific, and to carry out those actions in the best interest of the Region, as set forth by our benevolent UN Delegate, Unlimited and the PRP Senate."<br />
<br />
A successful election will grant the governor access to the Assembly of Governors upon assuming office on 1 January 2005.<br />
<br />
Any questions concerning the election process or whether one is eligible to be a candidate may be directed to Warrior Thorin either by PM or t-gram.<br />
<br />
===Elections Begin Monday, December 13th! (Dec. 12, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/election-time-is-upon-us-t904.html</ref>===<br />

'''A Pacific citizen exercises his right to vote''<br />
<br />
''Thorinopolis, Warrior Thorin.'' Elections for three of the Republic's provinces will begin on Monday, December 12th and run until Sunday, December 19th. Province Francos Spain Memorial Province (D-G) has Governor Desetland pitted against Doppleganger, while Province Croyance (Non-letters-C) has Daedalus running opposed, as is the same with Province Tantus Pacificus with Governor Sarda running for re-election.<br />
<br />
The polls will open early Monday morning, and voters will notice that the procedures are going to be radically different from the previous elections. After conferring with the AoG, The Senate, and other foreign dignitaries, the Republic has reformed the election process for the purpose of insuring that the People's voices are heard in the election process. Voters will be asked to PM their responses and their responses will be cross-checked by a committee comprised of two citizens, one Senator, and one foreign dignitary (The Wachovia Coalition of The East Pacific). All votes that are suspicious will be scrutinized to maintain veracity. The committee will be responsible for certifying the election results.<br />
<br />
For this election, early results will not be posted. It is the belief that early results could sway fence-sitters, thus the results will be made public once the final tallies are made and the results have been verified by the committee.<br />
<br />
The polls will once again be found in the Ministry of the Interior and we hope all citizens will participate in this, the most important of all civic duties: the act of choosing your leaders!<br />

===Nak Nak Deleted! (Jan. 2, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/nak-nak-deleted-t1023.html</ref>===<br />

''Nak Nak kissing the rope he was hanged with moments later''<br />
<br />
Hall of Injustice, Mod Centre: A few days ago, Nak Nak, the “Tom Bombadil” of the Pacific was dragged from his home and hung five minutes after wishing everyone a happy new years. The charge brought against Nak Nak was for sending a hurtful telegram to foreign recruiter Franken. The message that resulted in the death penalty is printed below, and may offend readers with thin skin. Reader discretion advised:<br />
<br />
Nak Nak wrote:<br />
Nak nak<br />
Received: Five Days Ago<br />
Piss off<br />
<br />
Obviously, Nak Nak crossed the line and the punishment was just and swift. Franken, former head of the successful Nationstates Broadcasting Corporation, was using the alias Palmer's Dominion and justified reporting the incident to the mods.<br />
<br />
Franken wrote:<br />
I was trying to recruit and his spam messages kept bumping them off. It was frustrating to say the least not to mention against the rules. I asked him about it and he said "piss off". I did indeed report that to the mods.<br />
<br />
The message that Franken sent was respectful in tone and not deceitful at all:<br />
<br />
Palmer's Dominion wrote:<br />
I thought only founders could clear regional boards. You seem to be spamming quite a bit, I think thats against the rules. Im a new nation and even I knew that- for such a big nation I would think you would know that<br />
<br />
Obviously, the creator of NBC is a new nation and an older nation such as Nak Nak should be familiar with a new rule. While some consider Nak Nak a de-facto founder (consistently being #1 in the Pacific UN reports), this should not exclude Nak Nak from posting messages in the most heavily spammed region in the game. Since the deletion, Franken has promised not to recruit in the Pacific, and testified on Nak Nak’s behalf that the punishment was too harsh.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for the forces of good, the mod who was looking to poach a high profile PRP member was overturned by Cogitation, and Nak Nak is once again allowed to roam the Pacific free. All hail Nak Nak!<br />

''Unlimited, on the left, shares a joke with Governor Sarda after swearing in the new governors''<br />
<br />
'''The People's Palace, The Pacific.''' The Pacific has rung in a new year and with that comes two new governors and two new administrative laws.<br />
<br />
After a very successful campaign in December, Sarda was re-elected as governor for the Tantus Pacificus Province, unopposed once again. Having also recently completing the first term as President of the AoG, Sarda was much more relaxed after the election. "It's always nice to know that the citizens of Tantus Pacificus have faith in my leadership. I hope to continue to serve them well during this next term."<br />
<br />
Doppelganger supplanted Desetland in a surprise victory in The Francos Memorial Province. "I really won?" Doppelganger stated on the night of the election results. Desetland was very excited at the prospect of new blood in the AoG, even if he cannot participate. Still, Desetland was the architecht of an important piece of legislation that will be explained shortly.<br />
<br />
Daedalus was also elected as a governor, taking over the controversial Croyance Province. In his first official act, he has called for the province to be renamed The Abysserian Guard Province as a tribute to one of the earlier Centurions of the old NPO, Abysseria.<br />
<br />
Two pieces of legislation were also brought into law as the new year began. The first regards the election procedures of the President of the AoG, since there was some confusion as to when the elections are made. The second piece of legislation concerns the activity of the governors, mandating procedures to remove inactive governors from their office before elections. Both pieces of legislature were designed to streamline procedures to make the Pacific a more active region.<br />

===Governor Elections and New Public Office: High Judge Now a Public Office (Jan. 28, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/election-results-and-a-new-office-t1192.html</ref>===<br />

''Kalikratis Prepares for His Appointed Duties as Interim High Judge of the Pacific''<br />
<br />
The People's Palace, Francos Spain Hall, The Pacific. Elections for the three provinces have been conducted this month, and The New Duce (Honorem et Libertas Province), Quy (Quotidie Maiestas Province) and Desetland (Pax Pacifica Province) were voted in as governors. This shall be The New Duce's second term. Desetland shall have the distinction of being the first governor to serve in two different provinces. Desetland, a late comer in announcing his candidacy, stated, "It will be interesting to get to know the great people of Pax Pacifica. It will also be interesting to move into a new office and I hope some of the good citizens will help me because I hurt my back when I moved out the last time!"<br />
<br />
In other governmental news, the Senate and the Assemby of Governors (AoG) announced a major reform in the judicial system of The Republic. The High Judge, once a position held by a senator, is now to be a public office. Commenting on the new legislation, BlackAdder noted, "We view it as a further Reform, we're handing the responsibility of Justice to the People. A rather Powerful responsibility given the history we've endured here."<br />
<br />
Kalikratis has been appointed by Unlimited as the interim High Judge. He is expected to be the first citizen to undergo the process to become the actual High Judge. This process entails a Senate confirmation hearing, followed by an AoG confirmation hearing. Finally, the candidate must be voted by the people in a public referendum. The process is demanding, and the qualities expected of the High Judge of the Pacific are expected to be high. The High Judge cannot hold any other office nor participate in the militia. The High Judge is also expected to hold a non-voting seat in the AoG.<br />

===Military Build-Up in The Meritocracy (Feb. 18, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/military-build-up-in-the-meritocracy-t1256.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
Kitimat, The Meritocracy: This year’s annual Kitimat Pact military exercises may be more than just a show of unity between these ten nations. There are scattered reports across the region with regards to large military maneuvers not in the deployment zones. We also have several unconfirmed, and let me stress that, unconfirmed reports that massive mobilization of the civilian populations are underway.<br />
<br />
On this is a day of tragedy, as we have witnessed the massacre in Eureka and the silencing of our Kitimat bureau in Edmonton. War is possibly at the doorstep of the Meritocracy and with these attempts to silence the media, getting information out of this region of the world has been difficult…<br />
<br />
*holds hand to ear*<br />
<br />
This just in… The Pacific News Network is receiving exclusive footage of the Kitimat Pact maneuvers from a research vessel just outside the official deployment zone. We now go live to David Holmby aboard the New Deal. David?<br />
<br />
“I’m here in Kitimat sea, renowned for its humpback whales, and now, renowned for creatures much more deadly. Here off the port deck is a cruiser from the Empire of Eureka. As you can see, this<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*Loudspeakers from the Cruiser come on*<br />
<br />
<<Attention Derelict Vessel. You are broadcasting in violation of the Kitimat Pact Media Gag. You will cease your broadcast and prepared to be boarded.>><br />
<br />
The joke is on them. According to our GPS, we are in international waters, meaning that all activities we do are perfectly legal.<br />
<br />
Oh shit… We’ve drifted.<br />
<br />
<<This is your final warning. Terminate your broadcast or we will terminate it for you>><br />
<br />
Ok, I’ll turn around and get us back into international waters.<br />
<br />
John speaks up David, they’re pointing their guns at us. I’m cutting the feed.<br />
<br />
Just a little bit furth…<br />
<br />
*static*<br />
<br />
John? John? We seem to have lost the feed. Chilling images from within the Kitimat deployment zone. PNN will stay with this story until its resolution.<br />

<br />
''Above: Troops from the Ducean Empire march through the African Savannah once more''<br />
<br />
Warzone Africa, NationStates: In a massive demonstration of force, the People’s Militia has taken Warzone Africa from the hands of the Rejected Realms army. The group was headed by Governor The New Duce, from Honorem et Libertas Militia. Volunteers from this province formed the main contingent, which was strengthened by some Abysserian Guardsmen and Hellenic Liberators.<br />
<br />
''Above: Allied forces approaching the target''<br />
<br />
Yet much must be said about the diplomatic skills of our Pacifican soldiers. They are gentlemen as well as fighters. They managed to strike a deal with The Young World, which allowed them to secure the delegacy. More will come from this mighty union.<br />
<br />
The People’s Militia had no intention of holding the Warzone. This was sanctioned as a training exercise and so it shall remain. An orderly transition to forces from the Young World will occur today and our comrades at arms may return home in peace.<br />
<br />
Indeed, a glorious day for the newly formed militia. The first victory of many to come.<br />

===Nuclear War in Meritocracy (Feb. 20, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/nuclear-war-in-meritocracy-t1264.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''A Bumpivanian martyr ensuring that Eureka pays for its actions''<br />
<br />
Meritocracy Administrative District, PNN Regional Headquarters: February 19th, 2005. A day which will be seared into our collective memories. For four billion residents of Eureka, this day will be their epitaph. For billions more in Bumpivania, this day may also be their end. Senator Bumpy made it clear that he and his populace would rather see the Meritocracy destroyed by fire than by the Kitimat Pact.<br />
<br />
Thus far, all around us, tanks and troops march through the streets. The senate and ministries are surrounded by Kitimat Pact troops. It appears that the section of the city that we are in is currently being occupied by forces from Praise Bob. Thus far, they have been arresting any one headed toward the senate, which are few people. All of us are in our homes and offices, waiting for this to pass.<br />
<br />
It also appears from this vantage point that all embassies are being respected. We are next to the Afslavistakistanian embassy, where troops have poured out and made their way to the senate. The embassy itself is not being attacked. However, on the street, the Eurekan troops are firing at Afslav troop. Troops from Praise Bob are largely being ignored by both sides, and they appear happy to be ignored.<br />
<br />
The MAD is in chaos as news of the nuclear holocaust spreads. In the sea, we can see that the Puppet States Fleet has moves its flags to half-staff. A possible acknowledgement of the nuclear attack. North of our headquarters and quite far from the senate, it appears that a fire has broken out in the city. We are unsure of the state of the FDMAD, but from the size of the plume and the gun-fire that peppers the air, it does not appear this will be put out any time soon.<br />
<br />
While those in Eureka may be dead, millions of their countrymen live on as conscripts of King Justin. How long until they take revenge is anyone’s guess. I only hope that they don’t take their anger out on more PNN personnel. Billions of innocents have died today, and if I see the dawn tomorrow, I will consider it to be a miracle. Jen, I want to say that I love you, and that God will watch over and protect you and our children.<br />

===The Pacific Government Celebrates Six Month Anniversary (Mar. 2, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-39-s-republic-of-the-pacific-celebrates-t1288.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Fireworks mark the celebration of the Pacific's government Six Month Anniversary''<br />
<br />
'''The People's Palace, Francos Spain Square, The Pacific'''. With a shot from Francos Spain's old shotgun in the People's Square, Unlimited announced the celebration of the People's Republic's six month anniversary as the sovereign government of The Pacific. Millions of citizens filled the square as parades of the People's militias walked through the street, followed by the Space Agency as well as the many displays of agricultural success. It was truly a pageant of the success that the Pacific has had since the inception of its most noble government.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic ascended as the second part of the Great Revolution led by the great Emperor, Francos Spain. As the Great Leader left the Region, the Revolution transitioned into the Republic, a government that is evolving to allow for all members of the region to participate in a true inspired form of civics and duty. The Republic has already seen great success in its infancy as being a world power throughout NationStates.<br />
<br />
In September of 2004, the Republic transitioned from the NPO while staving off attempts of infiltration and subversion of outside attacks. The Vanguard, Unlimited, ascended to the top of the government and mandated a new government should emerge, one which allows provincial governments to maintain control of their own jurisdictions.<br />
<br />
Today, we have seen not only stronger provincial governments, but the governors themselves also contribute to the laws of the Pacific within their own legislative body. Soon, the People will also choose their High Judge who shall maintain the Department of Justice and hear trials.<br />
<br />
The success does not stop there.<br />
<br />
The AELITA team conquered that which was thought could not be conqured. On February 6, 2005, Tar A stepped from the People's spacecraft and planted the Flag of the Pacific upon the surface of the Planet of Mars. Plans are in the works to develop Mars into a mining community and possibly a penal colony.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic also has six different militias that have been created. The New Duce's militia, Honorem et Libertas Militia, made up a large contingent that took over the Warzone Africa from the Rejected Realms Army. Not only was this a marked success for the People's militia, but it also secured excellent ties with The Youngworld Army and the Hellenic Guard.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic has also been involved in peace negotiations between the NPD and the NPU in the North Pacific. This marks an important recognition in the leadership of the Pacific government.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, all of the People have been blessed with a government that is always listening to serve its People. Truly, there is a real reason to celebrate in this Six Month Anniversary. We welcome all to help us recognize our past accomplishments and we look forward to marking further progress in our development!<br />

===The Pacific Olympiad Host Search Begins (Mar. 9, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-pacific-olympiad-host-search-begins-t1312.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
The Ministry of Culture Begins the Search for Which Province and Nation will Host the First Annual Pacific Olympiad!<br />
<br />
Today, in a highly anticipated announcement from the Ministry of Culture, the press was informed that Ministry officials would begin the official search for the host of the First Annual Pacific Olympiad.<br />
<br />
"We're very excited to have the selection process beginning," says Minister Sarda, "With the increased recent cultural activites in the Provinces themselves, we're hoping that we can galvanize the population which as much excitement as we feel here in the Ministry."<br />
<br />
East Pacifican cultural consultants have been employed by several independent commissions in the Pacific to offer their opinions on likely candidates. Initial reports suggest the winner of the Pacific Idol contest, and Mussolandia for it's recent sports victory, as potential nations.<br />
<br />
These first Olympic events, honoring the great Francos Spain's glorious rise to power as the founder of the NPO, are expected to draw enormous crowds to the host nation. Early estimates predict a crowd of more then three million people from around the region will make heavy attempts to observe the event. If nothing else, selection means an incredible economic boon for the host nation and province.<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Culture has issued a request that nations begin considering their pros, and begin the preparation of formal applications. The Ministry will also begin a questioning process of all the Governors, to determine which Province's nations will be considered for the final honor.<br />

===John Ashcroft Land Confirmed as High Judge! (Mar. 15, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/john-ashcroft-land-confirmed-as-high-judge-t1348.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''The Vanguard congratulates the new High Judge''<br />
<br />
Today, after a four day confirmation period, days of Senate and Assembly consideration, and the near month of rigorous testing in the Pacific Idol Contest... John Ashcroft Land was confirmed as the High Judge of the Pacific. The final vote was 16 in favor, and 5 opposed, while the Senate and Assembly approved his appointment almost unanimously.<br />
<br />
John Ashcroft Land, a devoted and loyal nation of the Pacific, and servant of the Revolution, began his career in the Pacific by answering Governor the New Duce's call to arms within his Province. Serving in the Honorem et Libertas Militia saw John Ashcroft Land rise to the post of the provincial Secretary of Defense. In the Ministry of Culture, Ashcroft also had the distinction of creating the first Pacific map, and receiving an appointment as Chief Cartographer of the Pacific. He has served with distinction in both offices, giving information and prime real-estate to fellow libertarians.<br />
<br />
And though Ashcroft leaves these posts behind, in favor of his new seat as the head of the newly reformed Pacific judiciary, his contributions will be remembered.<br />
<br />
Ashcroft will ascend to the position today, in front of his favorite statue, with his favorite tune playing in the background: "Let the Eagle Soar."<br />

'''Capital District, The North Pacific''': The North Pacific has been called the France of Nationstates: Once, it fielded a powerful army, but has since been conquered by a parcel delivery company, French pirates, the ADN, Lemurians, internal strife, and now, the North Pacific Directorate. Along the way, new forums have come and gone, players have joined and resigned, but the only thing that has been constant, is change. This article attempts to look at the current government of the North Pacific, the resistance movement that opposes it, and the outside organizations that have turned TNP into a prize to be won.<br />
<br />
The Rejected Realms Army<br />
<br />
On March 15th, the Rejected Realms Army allegedly sent troops into the North Pacific and endorsed 11 nations. This pushed some nations over the endorsement cap and some closer to Delegate Pixiedance’s (Moldavi’s) count. The North Pacific delegate then ejected several nations, and released a list of Rejected Realms Army members that were ejected. Crazy Girl, RRA general, denies that her army was in the North Pacific, and the only in TNP at the time was Stuey.<br />
<br />
High endorsement holders (Blackshear and Stars of the Sky) were asked to leave the region for one update to stop the attack. Both nations obliged, and have lost their endorsements.<br />
<br />
Regardless, in a time of decline, the North Pacific has grown by over 1000 nations in under a month. It is generally agreed that these nations can not all be from natural growth, so there are outside interests moving into the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The PRP-NoPac Summit<br />
<br />
The People’s Republic of the Pacific sponsored a Pacific-wide summit to try and resolve the issues between the North Pacific Directorate and its detractors in the region. Delegates from each Pacific and from the North Pacific Underground (now North Pacific Confederacy) meet to try and resolved the rift. The main issues of the summit were a return to democracy, and ending of the trials of traitors, deciding which forum would be the official forum, the amendment of the codex/constitution, and an end to censorship.<br />
<br />
While the summit had a rocky start, with a chasim between the two parties, and several representative switches from the NPC, common ground was found after NPC moderates PulpPhenom and Huma worked out a compromise that there would be delegate elections if the issue of regional security could be addressed.<br />
<br />
Phase Three<br />
<br />
The Minister, the head of the North Pacific Directorate, announced on March 18th that there would be an end to censorship on the North Pacific forums and that the user groups “trouble maker” and “opposition ambassador” would be the removed. The minister also announced that there would be delegate elections on September 17th. This would give virtually any nation in the region time to begin the process of meeting the requirements for delegate, which includes four months of service in the Regional Assembly and the gathering of some three-hundred odd endorsements. Voting will be done by the Regional Assembly, so these fifty nations will decide who shall lead the nation. While some moderate opposition leaders applauded the minister, others, such as Free4All and Romanoffia, who discount the election.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
This proposal only serves to grant the illusion of democracy, but it is much like Saddam Hussein being re-elected as leader over and over with 99% of the votes. It's only a democracy in name, and should not be agreed to by anyone who cares to live in freedom.<br />
<br />
Other nations, such as Tresville/CiscO, believe that change and better times can come from living under the Minister and creating change from within.<br />
<br />
Tresville wrote:<br />
We would not have to pledge Loyalty but we would have to recognize them. Those … months we can use to become active in the R[egional] A[ssembly] and help to make this a truely Democratic region. Lets not ignore the fact that we have larger numbers than the NPD and we should be a strong voice within the RA.<br />
<br />
The Spillover Effect<br />
<br />
The rest of the world has to worry about this tenuous situation, because North Pacific battles tend to affect her neighbors. Some blame the civil war in the Meritocracy due to the split of older and younger senators on the ideals of duality and neutrality. The events in the North Pacific brought these values to bear in the person of Ivan Moldavi, and may have lead to the Pebble’s incident that caused a rift in the government.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific is also at a crossroads. The United Democratic Pacific treaty is signed by the North, West, and South Pacifics. While the South has declared neutrality in the conflict, some entities in the West believe that they have the obligation to help the opposition and have a duty to support regime change in the North Pacific. Prime Minister Dilber has stated that no military action would take place until all diplomatic avenues are exhausted, namely, the PRP-NoPac summit. Whether the September elections are enough to appease the WP warhawks will be seen after grand assembly deliberations are complete.<br />
<br />
The Future<br />
<br />
While “democracy” has always been the watchword of the North Pacific, the minister is trying to bring forth “stability.” Pacific politics has always been a tough row to hoe, and with foreign troops supporting both sides of the conflict, it seems that the natives may be forgotten in the process. Hopefully, a peaceful, equitable solution can be found, and harmony can once again be found in this turbulent feeder.Capital District, The North Pacific: The North Pacific has been called the France of Nationstates: Once, it fielded a powerful army, but has since been conquered by a parcel delivery company, French pirates, the ADN, Lemurians, internal strife, and now, the North Pacific Directorate.

In a joint PNN and ENN exclusive, Lord Thistlebottom has been sworn in as the Meritocratic Confederacy Speaker. In a short ceremony today, Lord Thistlebottom, a long time friend of King Justin the Brave, spoke on the challenges facing the fledgling region.<br />
<br />
"We are facing many challenges. We face the challenge of proving we are relevant. We face the challenge of proving we have the guts and determination to stick around, and we have the challenge of growing stronger.<br />
<br />
In times such as this, all nations of the Confederacy must pull together, must ensure their actions are of good heart and motive, and put forth all their efforts to ensure this region does not become a graveyard for the luminaries of the meritocratic ideal.<br />
<br />
In such a case as this, Eureka will be the first to state: The Noble King's resources and skills are now at the complete disposal of the Assembly. Eureka will be first to state, categorically, that we will not see this region do anything other than prosper!"<br />
<br />
Making his statement to both Eurekan and Pacific News Network correspondents, Lord Thistlebottom made the stunning announcement that as of his acceptence of the Speakership, Eureka would cease debating in the chamber.<br />
<br />
"As I have initiated several bills now before the Assembly, it would not be proper for me to lead the charge. So, from this point Eureka's voice will fall silent, except in occasional circumstances.<br />
<br />
May the Confederacy prosper and grow. Eureka will do all it can to ensure that this happens."<br />

===Elections this week! (Apr. 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/elections-this-week-t1531.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
'''Francos Spain Park, The People's Palace.''' Under the canopy of Cherry Blossoms and Mango Trees, Senator Warrior Thorin announced that elections for provinces will resume this coming week.<br />
<br />
"Fortunately, our governors and candidates have been patient as we have had to deal with my personal issues. Today, I announce the resumption of the promise that the Senate and our Vanguard made that you, the people, will choose the leadership of your beloved provinces," Warrior Thorin noted amidst a round of applause.<br />
<br />
Province Aurora Borealis (#-C) will have Sarda running as Daedalus will be vacating his seat. This will be an interesting event as Sarda has been governing Tantus Pacificus since the first elections.<br />
<br />
Tantus Pacificus (T-Z) will have Karpathos running. One of his platforms concerns having several fountains of Ouzo flowing in public.<br />
<br />
Quotidie Maiestas (Q-S) will also have Sedarva running for governor, a former governor.<br />
<br />
The other provinces will have their elections next month. Victors will assume their duties on the 1st of May.<br />

''Comrade Blackbird and Comrade Unlimited concluding the agreement.''<br />
<br />
The Pacific Senate hereby requests that all Pacific citizens refrain from going to Alliance Defense Network (ADN, or regions thereof) forums, regions or chatrooms with anything but the most benign intentions. If they do go to these places, citizens of the People's Republic shall conduct themselves with civility and decorum at all times; keeping to OOC, RP or civil and relaxed in-game discussion. While opinion is always welcomed, citizens are reminded that foreign policy is the domain of the Senate, and and as such, any threat, attack or slander will be dealt with immediatly by them.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, citizens of the Republic should avoid posting anything of an inflammatory nature on the forums of the republic; what is 'inflammatory' will be determined by administration on a case by case basis.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network now requires the same of its citizens, and all sides hope that the unfortunate events of late can be put behind us for a better era of peace and understanding.<br />

===Gatesville Leaves the Union (Apr. 29, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/gatesville-leaves-the-union-t1577.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''The Gatesville Compound, now abandoned''<br />
<br />
Offices of Gatesville, Union of Sovereigns Headquarters: In a surprise move, The Conservative Front, a representative of Gatesville, announced the following:<br />
<br />
''It is with great reluctance that the nations of Gatesville come to you today, to inform the Union of their desire to withdrawal from this venerable body. While this in no way reflects negatively on the reputation and respect that this governing body and alliance commands, it does sadden us to see this day.<br />
<br />
Gatesville is becoming more of a empire than initially thought. Gates the God and Rose-Colored Glasses envisioned a grand empire to rival the dastardly UN, but it was envisioned to be an empire in name and grandeur only. About 2 months ago, the nations of Gatesville put into place what would effectively expand it's own horizons and finally reach a practical future for the vision that Gates and RCG had, a true Gatesville Empire. In completing thus, we do not foresee our abilities as effective military aids in the future while maintaining a working franchise system.<br />
<br />
In doing this, it is our prime goal not to lose the friends we have made in this organization. We hope to be very close to all of you, as you have been extremely polite and cordial towards us these last months. We greatly appreciate it and hope that this will not ruin anything with any of the regions in the Union.<br />
<br />
And it is with this, we, the nations and High Council of Gatesville, do hereby formally secede from the Union of Sovereigns Alliance.''<br />
<br />
Union members were surprised by the news, as there was no forewarning or grievances listed. Essentially, it appears that Gatesville, the largest player-create region in the world, felt that it could not maintain its Union obligations and complete its mission of destroying the United Nations and repealing its socialist laws.<br />
<br />
Despite their leaving, Gatesville has insisted that it would stay close to Union members, and the Pacific is currently in Bi-lateral talks aimed at improving Pacifican-Gatevillian relations.<br />
<br />
Comrade Mammothistan said to a leaving Gates “I am sorry to see you go friend. Should you decide to rethink your decision, you can always have your seat back.” While we will miss our allies’ participation in the Union, the bonds of brotherhood created there will never cease.<br />

<br />
''The statue of Minister Moldavi being removed from Cathyy Circle''<br />
<br />
Capital City, The North Pacific: First it was s2, then s4, and now s9. Once again, the North Pacific has regrouped under a new forum. With Insane Power at the helm of Pixiedance, he seems to be moving the NDP in a new direction. Namely, he has declared the NPD dissolved. In an official statement, the new delegate made this announcement:<br />
<br />
''I hereby announce the end of the NPD.<br />
<br />
The NPD was a creation of Moldavi. I hope that you are beginning to realise that I do not wish TNP to continue to be run in the manner that Moldavi wanted.<br />
<br />
The Government will be expanded, to include fairly elected officials. The RA will welcome all nations from The North Pacific, that have been active for atleast two weeks on either S2 or S4 (or here) excluding Ministers.<br />
<br />
The Government is now simply The North Pacific Government.<br />
<br />
Freedom of speech is totally acceptable and I will allow one or more opposition Governments to be created. Although I ask that all members of any Government keep posts civil.''<br />
<br />
Indeed, there is room for an “opposition government” on the boards, and there seems to be an interest in ending the strife in the North Pacific. NPC members, however, were guarded in their optimism.<br />
<br />
Heft wrote:<br />
That's great, it really is. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic here (for once).<br />
<br />
But a warning. If you want this to end, you can't simply install your own new government. That's kind of one of the biggest causes of this feud. Also, you'll have to realize that you are hardly the most acceptable delegate or head of government for many of us in the region, whether you think you deserve your reputation or not, you do have it.<br />
<br />
Another snafu in the works is that the forum moderator for the NPC, Flemingovia, has refused the position. At present, there is no other post in the NPC forum section.<br />
<br />
Something of interest on both forums is The Flemingovia plan. It is a roadmap toward peace that involves dissolving all governments and starting over. While the new forum is a fresh start, the North Pacific Government (NPG) has not dissolved, and will continue with ministries. However, all nations are now allowed in the Regional assembly.<br />
<br />
Whether the new delegacy of Insane Power will lead to a long lasting peace or more strife, you can be sure that PNN will be covering it.<br />

''Illegal Immigrants and Terrorists moving across the boarder''<br />
<br />
BPI, The Pacific: The Pacific Security Services first started noticing large quantities of suspicious looking puppets entering the Pacific on Sunday, and they continued moving in for 24 hours until Monday turning it into a full scale puppet invasion; totaling a number of over 400 puppets. Sources within the Alliance Defense Network (ADN) quickly came forward to tell of their organization's part in the attack. When confronted with these claims, however, they were promptly denied by ADN Secretary of State Blackbird and ADN Deputy Director Unistrut, who declared that their organization wasn't even aware that there was an operation taking place in the Pacific. Contrary to this denial, the Bureau of Pacific Intelligence has managed to obtain the following screenshot, which clearly shows ADN Director Pope Hope herself ordering nations into the Pacific:<br />
<br />
[[File:2005-04-28_Pacific_Press_Image.webp]]<br />
<br />
Nations were asked to start moving as many nations as possible into the Pacific, with other unsuspecting nations being asked to "help the Pacific reach 8000". As well as this damning evidence, it was witnessed that many known ADN collaborators were moving all their puppets into the Pacific simultaneously. When questioned about their actions, they claimed either that they just happened to feel like moving, or that their reasons were classified.<br />
<br />
All of this only goes to show one thing: Bismarck was right, "Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied".<br />

<br />
''Warrior Thorin takes questions from the press''<br />
<br />
'''Francos Spain Plaza, The People's Palace.''' Two governors were officially announced today amidst controversy in April's elections. Senator Warrior Thorin addressed several questions concerning the recent campaign run by 1838.<br />
<br />
Sedarva assumes the governor office of Province Quotidie Maiestas. This Sedarva's second stint as governor, and he immediately went to work without even setting up his office. At the inaugural, Sedarva noted that, "The people's confidence in me has given me a direct sense that I will work hard this term. I plan to restore the passion of the Revolution in my province and continue in the forward direction of the Republic. Hail Franco!"<br />
<br />
Karpathos, the lovable Greek soldier, has assumed the governor office of Province Tantus Pacificus. Karpathos noted to one reporter, "I won? Well, free ouzo for everyone in my province!"<br />
<br />
Although reporters were interested in the new governors, most questions concerned the issue concerning 1838. "We have strict guidelines," Warrior Thorin stated. "I think it's very obvious what we ask our candidate to do. If 1838 honestly forgot to complete the application, then I can understand that. But it's absolutely unfair to the voters if you do not disclose all of your identities."<br />
<br />
One reporter noted 1838's activity in the Pacific as being seemingly loyal to the people of the Republic. "Yes, 1838 has been a good citizen. Yet, the application process is strict for a reason. I would like to re-iterate the Vanguard's statement in that 1838 is free to re-apply and run again in the next election as long as 1838 makes a full disclosure of all allegiences."<br />
<br />
"As disappointing as this event has been, the AoG is currently working on a resolution to ensure governance of Province Aurora Borealis. Comrade Daedalus will be appointed Regent of the province as long as the AoG and Senate approve.<br />
<br />
"We should, however, celebrate the continued efforts of the people of the Pacific to choose their leaders without outside interference. The Senate's continual vigilance and the People's voice are what makes the Republic so great. Long live the Republic, Long Live our Sovereignty, Hail Franco! Hail Unlimited, our Vanguard!"<br />
<br />

''The loss of a legend''<br />
<br />
Black Adder, the Rejected Realms: The Cunningly Franco-ish Nation of Black Adder is expected to expire tonight. His motto says it all “"Byyyyyyeeeeeeeee..........." He leaves this game as a Compulsory Consumerist State, with good civil rights, a frightening economy, and rare political freedoms. As is the custom burial of Pacific Senators, Black Adder will spend his final moments in the Rejected Realms. A UN member, a diplomat, a senator, a Franco fighter (both for and against), a philosopher, and a legend. We say goodbye to the People’s Republic of the Pacific Senator of Diplomacy, Black Adder. He always had a cunning plan…<br />
<br />
Black Adder wrote:<br />
The Cunningly Franco-ish Nation of Black adder is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.71 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.<br />
<br />
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.<br />
<br />
Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the country is preparing for war, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Black adder's national animal is the baldrick, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the percy.<br />
Black adder is ranked 184th in the region and 13,893rd in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.<br />

At the time of this writing (6:24 PM Pacific Time), Black Adder was endorsed by twelve nations. PNN asks that any available UN nations please join this vigil.<br />

''Above: Union forces face the pirate vessels''<br />
<br />
Northern Ireland: The Union of Sovereigns showed the NS world what real defending is all about: slipping in quietly at the request of natives to endorse a native nation and oust an invading delegate. Textbook.<br />
<br />
At very short notice from Keltic Mystery, forces from Ireland (recently admitted to the alliance), The Pacific and SECO moved into the region to endorse native Griswalds. The region was being controlled by pirates of “the Jolly Roger”. Many pirate puppets were active at the time, yet the delegate failed to make a stand. Northern Ireland had enjoyed friendly relations with the Pacific, before falling into a lapse of inactivity and confusion which was also promoted by ABI dissolution.<br />
<br />
UoS forces were helped by a number of RLA nations and USK nations, noticeably XhaDam and The Mighty Pump.<br />
<br />
Forces from other parts of the NS world were also present, each under diverse intentions. Pacific Defenders attempted an incursion of their own using a non-native lead, but lacked numbers to achieve their goal. They did not intend to cooperate with Union forces. A similar case was that of Great Britain and Ireland, a former protectorate of the UoS, whose foreign policy stance on invasions is uncertain. They moved in too early and in small numbers.<br />
<br />
It is believed newly elected delegate Griswalds will clear the Factbook entry today and release an official statement from Northern Ireland thanking the parties who helped the region out. Now comes the hardest task, rebuilding the region.<br />

''Giant Cheese Weasels (top left) issuing his demand of an apology''<br />

000, EAA: The Emergency Auxiliary Army, a defender organization with members such as 000 and Scroll Islands, have issued the following statement to the ADN:<br />
<br />
Giant Cheese Weasels wrote:<br />
Due to their breach of alliance with Red Liberty Alliance we have issued a formal statement to the ADN Command asking that they apologize to the RLA for their actions, if they refuse the EAA Central Command and Board of Representatives will consider a termination of alliance with the ADN. This will not be a momentous occasion by all means.<br />
<br />
The declaration, made on May 14th, came after the EAA and the RLA finalized an executive treaty between the two alliances. Both defender organizations have worked with each other extensively in the past. The ADN could loose even more allies and defender unity appears to be drying up. Currently, there has not yet been a response by the Alliance Defense Network to the statement. PNN is currently camped outside ADN headquarters, and will give you live coverage of their response.<br />

===CIVIL WAR IN WEST PACIFIC (May 16, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/civil-war-in-west-pacific-t1698.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Soldiers from Stars of the Sky cross the boarder to support Regent Minineenee''<br />
<br />
Administration Island, The West Pacific: In a shocking turn of events, TWP delegate ZetaOne, having just won re-election, has ejected three long time members of the West Pacific without stating cause. Biteland, Gosstoepia, and Kholdstare, all subscribers of the West Pacific ad service, were ejected from the region today. The West Pacific government has been scrambling, and took action against the delegate.<br />
<br />
In a meeting of the Grand Assembly, Prime Minister Dilber initiated impeachment proceedings against the Delegate. In a unanimous vote of 9 – 0, the delegate has been stripped of his rank. The Regent of the West Pacific, Minineenee, has the next most endorsements and members are unendorsing ZetaOne and trying to boost the Regent to the delegacy.<br />
<br />
On the forum front, the Prime Minster is also taking action:<br />
<br />
Dilber wrote:<br />
Until we know what's going on, I have no recourse but to call a very temporary State of Emergency. The government will be operating as usual, especially the Council and GA.<br />
<br />
As current Senior Admin on the boards, I have removed Zeta's Admin Access, and he is at a members mask.<br />
<br />
I must say I must appologize for being at a loss at what is happening. However, I will do my best to help us fix this. I ask that as a region we all stick together, and we will get through this. TWP has been through tough times before, and we know how to fight.<br />
<br />
With that out of the way, I do have a request. The Constitution states that we all have a right to choose who or who not to endo. As such, I can not force anyone not in the military to do something. However, I must request that we all unendorse Zeta, and endorse Neenee. I honestly hope he will not kick her, as he has not done so so far.<br />
<br />
We must stick together. Our government is only as strong as we are. Please, help support us.<br />
<br />
Dilber,<br />
<br />
Prime Minister of the West Pacific<br />
<br />
However, while Dilber is an admin on the forums, ZetaOne owns the website, and while Dilber may be the leader of the West Pacific, ZetaOne has control of the eject button. Thus far, the regent has not been touched, and foreign forces are moving into the West Pacific to secure the delegacy for the regent.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific has a treaty with the Allied States of EuroIslanders, and Dilber activated the Mutual Defense Clause. Red Liberty Alliance forces have also been mobilized. North Pacific Confederate member were also seen in the West, expressing solidarity with government.<br />
<br />
As of 10:38 Pacific time, Delegate ZetaOne stands at 573 endorsements, and Regent Minineenee holds 569. With only a four endorsement difference, if ZetaOne took the night off, he will most certainly loose his 115 day vigil as delegate.<br />
<br />
*BREAKING NEWS*<br />
<br />
The regent has surpassed the delegate. Barring any more outside influence or the ejection button, Minineenee will become the next delegate of the West Pacific.<br />
<br />
*Breaking News*<br />
<br />
ZetaOne has announce that the "rouge delegate bit" was all an act. It was to make sure that the West Pacific could survive a tyrant delegate. How did the West Pacific do?<br />
<br />
ZetaOne wrote:<br />
You get a C for reaction time, and A for effort and an A+ for keeping it together.<br />
<br />
Apparently, the delegate was planning on leaving Nationstates, and wanted to go out with style (and the activation of several mutual defense treaties). With respect to who knew about this crazy scheme, no one was really in the know.<br />
<br />
ZetaOne wrote:<br />
Minineenee knew in advance that I was leaving NS. Biyah, Dilber, and a few others knew I was pondering over it. Minineenee was told about four days ago to start endorsing nations I was going to be leaving, maybe not permanently, but I was going to be leaving and could not finish my term.<br />
<br />
Biyah knew in advanced that the people were going to be ejected. It was going to be a good test to the region; I opted not to ban people from the forum. It should of made you all wonder why they heck I didn’t.<br />
<br />
Once again, the ban list of the West Pacific has been cleared, and the people look forward to being represented by their government and living under their delegate-elect, Minineenee.<br />

''Unistrut, before the ADN assembly, condemning TPC''<br />
<br />
The Red Factions, The Proletariat Coalition: In a move expected by all parties, The Proletariat Coalition, backbone of the Red Liberty Alliance, has left the Alliance Defense Network. The spat between the two organizations was started when Unistrut exposed an RLA/TPC spy (the Red Factions). The Red Factions had risen to the field marshal of the DEN, a notorious raider group. Unistrut felt that Red Faction had not done enough, and exposed him, as some would say, out of spite.<br />
<br />
Upon the announcement of the withdrawl, Unistrut had the following to say:<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
Some might say that the leadership of The Proletariat Coalition were incompetent for having such poorly managed intelligence assets, and that said mismanagement caused incalculable damage to innocent neutral regions. Some might say that. Including me. So fare thee well, TPC. Stick your outrage where the sun doesn't shine.<br />
<br />
Unistrut went on to then attack all leftist nations and regions:<br />
<br />
"If there is a failing on ADN's part, and particularly my own, in this situation it is that we haven't explained our reasoning or even tried to counter the outrageous rhetoric that Eurosoviets and his crew of turd slinging monkeys have been propagating. Let them play their BS political games... I swear the next time I have to deal with a another radical leftist political player masquerading as a defender will be too soon and one more time too many. I've really had it. Offense intended to all who would take offense. You know who you are."<br />
<br />
The Red Faction stated his reasoning behind his actions in a well-drafted explanation of his actions:<br />
<br />
My prime objective as RLA agent has always been to, in order of priority:<br />
<br />
Protect RLA interests and regions<br />
<br />
Protect EAA regions<br />
<br />
Protect ADN regions<br />
<br />
Undermine DEN Intelligence operations abroad<br />
<br />
Keep a firm control over DEN troopers and drive them away from our allies<br />
<br />
Build myself up a reputation which would allow me to know of every single Invader operation, move and deployement in every corner of NationStates.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With DEN being fully controlled by RLA Intelligence, we had them contained, under our control and we made sure our interests were left unthreatened. Further to this, I have contributed greatly with Intelligence to the ABI, EAA and to a small extent, the ADN but first and firemost, RLA has been kept safe and invaders kept at bay from our regions.Under my time not a single crash carried out by DEN troopers on the RLA suceeded and every time an ADN target or EAA target was brought up on the table, I diverted attention and forcefully made them abandon it. Not a single raid on such regions has ever been succesful under my time. Ever.<br />
<br />
The main qualm between the two is that the Alliance Defense Network wanted to protect the entire world, (ie neutral regions, regions who don’t want ADN troops on their soil, and regions who never asked for ADN support). The RLA and Red Faction had a different philosophy. Red Faction’s job was to primarily protect treaty partners and control the DEN. Since The Red Faction did not put the ADN, and their ideology first, the high command decided that he shouldn’t be there at all. This event shows clearly the ideological split between the RLA and ADN, which led to the break between the two organizations.<br />
<br />
“Defender unity” has been the catch-phrase of defender groups, but when defenders have two fundamentally different Modus Operandi, there can only be dissidence. Monte Ozarka, TNP refugee, understands this and had a call for reason:<br />
<br />
Monte Ozarka wrote:<br />
All of this stems from a difference in defender policy. Could we please leave it at that?<br />
<br />
Also, the RLA is not evil. TPC is not evil. The ADN is not evil. Select people is various organizations do stuff that is controversial. The overarching goals of any of these three orgs are not oriented toward being evil<br />
<br />
Unistrut responded "No, Monte Ozarka, sorry. I can't just leave it at that. It isn't anywhere near that easy or simple."<br />

''A small child being rescued from tyranny by soldiers from Nak Nak''<br />
<br />
Warzone Europe, Karpathos: In another striking victory, the People’s Militia of the Pacific, along with soldiers from the Union of Sovereigns and The YoungWorld, liberated another Warzone. PRP personnel surfed regions and Warzones, waiting for the pristine moment to strike Europe. The New Duce, elected commander of the People’s Militia, has truly done his region a great service. “With 16 nations participating on a days notice for complicated maneuvers and dynamic orders, the People’s Militia will certainly be ready to defend our homeland and treaty partners.”<br />
<br />
The People’s Militia grew out of the Union of Sovereigns treaty, where the Pacific would be required to defend other regions from foreign aggressors. The Militia is strictly only used for the purposes of defending our treaty partners and the Republic. A clear example of this was the Pacific’s noticeable absence from the West Pacific during the ZetaOne ejections. The Pacific currently does not have a mutual aid pact with the West Pacific, and thus, the senate could not order the militia into the West to endorse the regent. This strict protocol ensures that the People’s Militia will not turn into invaders, but remain strictly a defense organization.<br />
<br />
Sir Paul, Senator of Media Affair, noted in a press conference that “the Union of Sovereigns has provided the Pacific with an invaluable source of security. Our treaty partners have defended the Pacific countless times, and now, it is our turn to defend our allies from aggression and tyranny.”<br />

The scenario was designed similarly to that of Ukraine, even if it was also constructed by some miscalculation along the way. Firstly, USSR forces under the command of General Moscovy crossed the Chechnyan border and captured the region, claiming it as a colony. This happened under a carefully controlled medium, since USSR citizens had created puppets in Chechnya to play the role of natives, arguing in favor and against USSR intervention.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that many of the natives welcomed the USSR occupation, on the 17th, an assorted group of defenders attempted to oust Moscovy, yet failed to get organized. It was on the 21st, however, that a large group of nations entered the region. The Soviet High Command was fully aware of this plan and organized it so they would endorse “The Forsaken Village,” a puppet of Moltar from the USSR.<br />
<br />
Once update was done, The Forsaken Village surprisingly ejected all the nations who had endorsed him and posted a WFE revealing his USSR affiliation and claiming revenge for the events of Ukraine. The USSR had an account to settle with those whom they refer to as “devaders”.<br />
<br />
Ukraine was a region founded by Francos Spain that was captured by the ADN once a process similar to that of Chechnya had been set in motion. After the "liberation," Ukraine was passworded, and now has two inactive nations.<br />
<br />
Now as delegate, The Forsaken Village passworded the region, but forgot to send it to the rest of the natives, assuming that an offsite forum availability for it would suffice. The nation was rightly deleted and the password lifted.<br />
<br />
It was then when a further approximation was achieved to the Ukraine scenario, where a TITO lead had also been deleted for griefing. The world expected perhaps another UoS-ADN showdown and a race for delegateship, but it was not to be. Moscovy revealed that he had created the founder of region Chechnya, Chechen Grozny. The founding nation was resurrected and the ADN lead, along with all of his endorsements, was ejected.<br />
<br />
Despite unexpected turns in the road, Moscovy claims the USSR achieved their objective: "There have been many scandals concerning the inadequacy of devader intel services, this further highlights them."<br />

''Loop (left), Caer Rialis (center), and Unlimited (right) celebrate the completion of Pacifics Interactive''<br />
<br />
Newer York, The South Pacific: One again, the boarder city of Newer York, the triple-junction of the East, Central, and South Pacifics, is home to a magnificent project. Long championed by the East, hosted by the South, and built by the PRP, the Pacific Interactive Forums are a place for all residents of the Pacific to join together, have a tall frosty one, and enjoy each others company.<br />
<br />
Mammothistan, chief architect of the forums, explained the reason for such a place. “We have long recognized that there is something inherently special about the Pacifics that separate us from the continentals living in player-created regions. This forum will allow us to come closer together as Pacficans and have a better understanding for our shared heritage.”<br />
<br />
East Pacific Delegate Loop, who has long fought for a united forum, hopes that this will fulfill his desire for a more united Pacific. “Over the last few months, we have seen regions fall apart from internal strife, from the Meritocracy to the North Pacific. By better understanding our fellow Pacificans, we should be able to avoid such conflicts in the future.”<br />
<br />
Caer Rialis, delegate of the South Pacific and landlord of the forum, noted that he “looked forward to the positive discourse that is sure to occur” and he “welcomes our brothers and sisters from the North and West to take part in our shared community.”<br />
<br />
All in all, a glorious day for the Pacifics.<br />

===Peace, Order and Good Government (June 21, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/peace-order-and-good-government-t1919.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By I.F. Stone<br />
<br />
'''Peace, Order and Good Government'''<br />
<br />
With these words a dynamic pact was formed between the world's two ancient colossi. The Pacific, the birthplace of the world, and The South Pacific, the first Pacificus to forge a recorded civilization. The South Pacific overwhelmingly passed a resolution praising the People's Republic and highlighting the two regions' continual commitment to peace and friendship. Unlimited, Comrade Vanguard, reciprocated the announcement on behalf of The Pacific this morning. <br />
<br />
'''A Statement of Mutal Respect Between the People's Republic of The Pacific and The South Pacific'''<br />
<br />
The South Pacific and the People's Republic of the Pacific stand together in friendship, and in support and defense of our shared goals and values.<br />
<br />
Our values are peace, order, and good government. Our goals are the protection and promotion of these virtues through peaceful means, and the defense of the sovereignty that allows them with all the power at our hands.<br />
<br />
This declaration signifies the bond of our two regions in our Greater Pacific home, and our desire to further our common interests. We pledge to stand together against all forces of tyranny and imperialism, to protect and preserve the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of all the nations of our regions, and the governments that govern both.<br />
<br />
May the People's Republic of the Pacific and the South Pacific be forever joined in solidarity, and may all regions of the Nation States world, great and small, join us in strengthening and expanding good government and opportunity for all peoples.<br />
<br />
The Statement was primarily authored by Vice President Fudgie. The iconic phrase of "peace, order and good good Government" comes from Canada. The Council of the South Pacific, the region's deliberative body, engaged in a month of discussion over the proposal which met little opposition. It had broad support of the Cabinet. More telling are the numbers: in a high-turnout decision ninety percent of the Council voted in favor.<br />
<br />
'''What it is and what it isn't'''<br />
<br />
It is not an alliance. The People's Republic's adoption of the same statement does not mean that both are bound together in perpetuity. It is also not a formal treaty. To the practical-minded this is a nonevent, but to idealists and believers in 'soft power' touted by thinkers as Sir Paul and Deng Xixian its significance cannot be understated.<br />
<br />
It is a formal declaration by both parties of their feelings for each other and their willingness to work together in the future. It is the kind of milk-and-cookies legislation that helps make stronger friends and forge future unions. Southland VP Fudgie explained, "this is not a formal treaty or alliance, rather a statement of friendship and support, and a declaration of friendship."<br />
<br />
'''The South Pacific takes a NAP'''<br />
<br />
The proclamation is rooted in the Pacific Cooperation Organization and during its many 'fireside chats' initiated by PCO chairman 1 Infinite Loop, and saw the idea's development grow during the intense cooperation needed to make the PCO's flagship project, the shared forum (link), work.<br />
<br />
But its history goes back farther than that. The South and central Pacifics have been on good terms ever since the Non Aggression Pact (link) was signed last Fall, and re-ratified this Spring. The Statement ratified Monday echoes the NAP's opening:<br />
<br />
''[The South Pacific and The Pacific] recognizing each other as the legitimate Governments of their respective regions, have entered into the present agreement in accordance with the following five principles: Mutual respect for sovereignty, non-aggression, non-interference into each others internal affairs, equality, and peaceful coexistence.''<br />
<br />
Circumstances have changed since then. The South, West and North were joined together under the United Democratic Pacifics and the NAP was a (gladly made) warm ending to a cold war. It was logicial conclusion of talks between Francos Spain and LadyRebels following a mini-war over a year ago.<br />
<br />
Now the North has been effectively neutralized for the time being, without any clear voice as coups are re-occurring and the former Community has been stomped. The West has been quietly sidelined from Pacific politics as its government continues to practice unilateralism, and the UDP has been superseded by the PCO. The once demurred East Pacific and PRP are now the champions of Pacific Unity. <br />
<br />
"I think we need to face facts... the PRP is not the NPO. They have been extremely helpful to us ever since the NAP. In fact, they have been helpful to all the Feeder regions since that time."<br />
-Caer Rialis<br />
<br />
'''Peace in our time'''<br />
<br />
Today the People's Republic and the South Pacific are very close friends. The majority of the Pacific's Senators have strong ties with the Southlands. Many residents of either side hold dual citizenship in the other. Caer Rialis sends Comrade Mammothistan telegrams on occasion (it is rumored they are appreciated). The Hall of Justice now hosts the South's superheroes, who have been freed from the villainous Dilber's hypno-ray, are valuable members of the SuperFriends (link).<br />
<br />
Unlimited was reportedly "satisfied" with the statement's outcome. Rumor has it he almost cracked a smile, although PNN has found no reliable evidence. Comrade Mammothistan was "content". Warrior Thorin was quoted as saying, "I am extremely pleased with the work of both of our regions in friendship in learning that diplomacy and communication are always preferred alternatives to war, and our shared progress in the common cause of Peace." <br />
<br />
'''Final thought'''<br />
<br />
"I think this Statement only makes de jure what has previously only been de facto."<br />
<br />
And that's how it all works out for today kids. Enjoy your Tuesday.<br />

===Summer Has Arrived in the Pacific! (June 26, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/summer-has-arrived-in-the-pacific-t1951.html</ref>===<br />

''The New Duce's Secret Barbeque Rub!''<br />
<br />
'''Poskrebyshev National Park, The Pacific.''' Now that the month of June has arrived, the great Pacific citizens can rejoice! After a harsh winter in which much of the region had many feet of snow, the sun has melted away and the beaches have once again presented themselves for the hardworking citizens to relax.<br />
<br />
Comrade Senator Mammothistan heralded in the summer with the Pacific annual barbeque contest (he finished second in the hottest chili contest, behind The New Duce's Militia Red One recipe).<br />
<br />
Along with the summer is the Pacific Major League baseball season. The 30 team league is expected to draw more fans this year than last year.<br />
<br />
Many festivals are planned for this summer:<br />
<br />
The "Pig-Pickin' Bluegrass and Vodka Festival" will be held from June 27th to June 30th at Poskrebyshev National Park. Come to the festival and sample the best vodka produced this winter throughout the Republic and feast on the pig and bluegrass music.<br />
<br />
The Fine Arts Festival shall take place from July 1 through the 7th at Francos Spain Square. Featured this year shall be Unlimited (as maestro) and his Symphony of the Republic. Rumors have it that the East and South Pacific will send some of their finest musicians as well in this year's event, and Dilber from the West Pacific is expected to bring his baritone sax as well.<br />
<br />
The First Annual "Pacific River Raft Race and Rock Festival" takes place from July 8th to July 10th. Participants will arrive on July 8th with their handmade rafts and float down InfernoIce River while a carnival takes place along the western bank.<br />
<br />
The Great Pacific Fair takes place from August 1 - 14th. Come see the pig races, eat some of the finest foods of the Pacific region, and ride the many rides built right here in the Pacific. A live jousting tournament headed by Senator Warrior Thorin will also take place.<br />
<br />
The festive summer is drawn to a close with the People's Festival, which begins September 1st through the 15th. This celebration of the creation of the Republic shall have re-enactments of the great Revolution of Francos Spain and solemn memorial to the Father of the Revolution.<br />
<br />
"These festivals are the way we give thanks to the great people of the Republic," noted the Vanguard, Unlimited. All festivals are free to the citizens of the Pacific and their guests. All hostile to the Republic will instead be asked to go to the Rejected Realms and visit Kandarin's Annual Rock Picking Festival (guaranteed to be a hoot, I hear).<br />

===Pierconium Apointed Minister of Justice (July 18, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-apointed-minister-of-justice-t2116.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''The Minister of Justice, fulfilling the promise that “I’ll be back”''<br />
<br />
Fortress Moldavi, Pierconium: With the confirmation vote of the Assembly of Governors official, Senator of the Delegacy commissioned the first Minister of Justice of the Pacific on the Grand Balcony of Castle Moldavi in front of thousands of applauding Pierconiums. “We knew that this day would come, when the empire would again return to prominence in the Pacific!” a national overcome with joy announced. This comes at the heals of the resignation of the previous High Judge of the Pacific, John Ashcroft Land and the new legislation passed in the scandal’s wake. Unlimited noted that “The Pacific is dynamic, and the Senate and AoG have taken measures to ensure that future indiscretions shall not happen.”<br />
<br />
The Pacific Underground, a group committed to the reformation / overthrow of the Republic, is expected to opposed the appointment. Pierconium was a central figure in the North Pacific instability crisis started one year ago by UPS Rail. When delegate Cathyy grew weary from the weight of the North Pacific delegacy, she handed the delegate nation Pixiedance to then Senator Pierconium’s control. This violated the official Pacific stance of neutrality, and the Senator was decommissioned by court-martial in the Superior Court. After forming the North Pacific Directorate, Pixiedance then transferred to Insane Power, a member of the NPD. According to NPD officials, this move was intended to create stability in the region that would not happen as long as Pierconium held the delegacy. Later, Insane Power announced the dissolution of the NPD, thereby setting up the now defunct North Pacific Government. This caused a falling out with Pierconium, leading to the declassification of NPD documents.<br />
<br />
All the while, the former senator maintained his citizenship in the Pacific, and after his term as The North Pacific Delegate, dissolved his home region of New Sparrow and devoted his energies to the Republic. Pierconium was repentant of his actions, and became a valuable and unsung member of the Ministry of Security and the BPI, along with advancing the culture and industry of the Pacific.<br />
<br />
The Republic has long had a history of forgiveness. More than half the senators at one point opposed the Pacific government, only to realize the folly of their ways, commit themselves to the ideals of the revolution, and progress the Republic forward. Pierconium has proven himself a knowledgeable of the law and a capable judge. He came to the Pacific in a manner not of anger or spite, but of reconciliation, respect, and repentance. Pierconium’s example shows that the spirit of mercy and reconciliation established by Franco lives on, and that the light of the revolution shines bright over the Pacific.<br />

===Rejected Realms Rejects Democracy? (May 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/rejected-realms-rejects-democracy-t1749.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul and PNN Staff<br />
<br />
Kandarin, The Rejected Realms: The Underworld is a rough place. It has been called a home for the homeless, and is the last refuge of the political refugees. However, despite this ejection-free zone, delegate Kandarin has managed to hold onto power. He has been in office, at the time of this writing, 237 days. The only reason for this lapse in delegacy was the bug that also affected Loop’s delegacy, and a three day loss of the delegacy to Carinthe. Effectively, only Loop, Unlimited, and Kandarin are the only feeder delegates who have been able to remain in power for any length of time.<br />
<br />
However, this lack of changing of the guard in the underworld has created a desire, in some, for an opposition party. Drunken Conquerors has tried to start such a party, and is pushing not for the delegacy, but for change. <br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors wrote:<br />
Kandarin is a good person; however he sits perched atop a mountain of political inbreeding that has become totalitarian in nature. There was no alternative to government in the RR- true; one cannot be ejected. But a dissident can be mocked, ignored, shunned, and defamed into silence as well.<br />
<br />
Kandarin is also supported by several non-natives. Many armies are friendly with Kandarin, and have standing orders to endorse him in the Rejected Realms, until they are needed on maneuvers. This has created the feeling, according to some, that the Rejected Realms is not controlled by the natives, but by foreign armies. This claim, however, has been refuted by the Deputy Director of the Alliance Defense Network, Unistrut.<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
Oh and, prop up? We haven't even sent our regional militaries in to support him against your invasion yet. You'll see his endorsements double overnight if need be.<br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors has also accused members of the Rejected Realms and the foreign armies from interfering with his bid for an opposition party.<br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors wrote:<br />
However, some of his supporters have been quite terrible towards me in this game, regarding my ideas about politics. I have received TG's, as well as stern lectures when I tried to express my ideas to members of the ADN; rife with ridicule and insult.<br />
<br />
Kandarin explains why DC is treated the way he is:<br />
<br />
Kandarin wrote:<br />
So far, in the course of the region's 2-year history, about 2-3 dozen people have come into the region and began running for Delegate upon their arrival. Quick examinations of their background and their actions afterwards have in fact shown that not one, not two, not a dozen, but almost all of these individuals has been backed by invaders or otherwise been a scheme by some other region to take over. This is not propaganda, it's historical fact. RR endorsement-swappers, when they get enough endorsements, have had a consistent history of then calling in the invading army they have waiting just over the horizon.<br />
<br />
Standard tactics include a jumble of loudly vocal supporters who have suspiciously new nations and ringing condemnations of the existing system as tyranny. So the reason the ADN is so hostile to you is that you look exactly like the invader spies we've seen so many times before.<br />
<br />
Indeed, Unistrut provided, at DC's request, IP screenshots from the ADN forums that DC is connected to Twins of Hearts and Chickedeli. While the ADN claims that DC is an invader, he continues to maintain his innocence, citing the numerous invader nations that he has helped delete. He maintains his call for full democracy.<br />
<br />
However, the delegate also claims that democracy does not work in a feeder region, but instead it is better to have a trusted person in charge than to have an unknown tyrant.<br />
<br />
Kandarin wrote:<br />
A pure democracy can exist in Nationstates, but not in a feeder region. It has been tried many times, each time the region was either conquered and pillaged or barely escaped destruction. In a feeder region democracy is always hijacked. It is better to have someone you can trust than the person with the most charming smile and the wittiest endorsement-telegram. Ask the South Pacificans, again, about El Sabah Nur. Ask the North Pacificans about Great Bight. Ask the West Pacificans about the time that they discovered the week before the election that one of the main candidates had other motives.<br />
<br />
Despite this, opposition fever may have hit the Rejected Realms. Last Hope, a nation with more than 5 billion, posted his request for support in removing the “tyrant” Kandarin.<br />
<br />
Last Hope wrote:<br />
5 hours ago The Overpopulated Hemisphere of Last Hope "What has Kandarin done for me lately?" The answer, fellow residents, is likely to be "Nothing," for without any viable political opposition, the nation of Kandarin grows lazy and complacent.<br />
<br />
Many of you will be contacted shortly to ask you to withdraw your endorsement from Kandarin and endorse an alternative, such as myself or Drunken Conquerors. Please give this your serious consideration!<br />
<br />
Even if you wish Kandarin's reign to continue, please consider also endorsing an alternative. So long as Kandarin rules without any hope of challenge, we do not have democracy in The Rejected Realms, but tyranny.<br />
<br />
This push comes not from any "alliance" or group -- my nation has no affiliation and no agenda other than to keep Kandarin honest, and to ensure The Rejected Realms has the representation it deserves--that YOU deserve.<br />
<br />
--Last Hope<br />
"Restore The Rejected Realms to glory!"<br />
<br />
Since, the thread has turned into an IP war, with each side bringing evidence against the other, proving who is the defender and who is the invader, including guest appearances by Unistrut, Pope Hope, and Avenging Angels. While the concept of democracy rattles around the realms, the RR forums are the smallest of all the feeder regions (save TNP take 3). With an apathetic population, the opposition parties may find themselves fighting not only the ADN and the established government, but indifference.<br />
<br />
*UPDATE*<br />
<br />
Gordonel, PRP candidate for governor, has admitted to controlling the nation of Chickadeli, the same nation that Unistrut accused DC of controlling.<br />
<br />
Gordonel wrote:<br />
When would be a good time to tell PH and Uni that Chickadeli (Chickedeli) is a puppet of mine I moved into TGU a while ago, and abonded after getting bored of the ADN? Or should I keep that one quiet? :idiot:<br />
<br />
This revelation might clear the way for others accused of matching IP, such as recent ADN outcast C1ndy.<br />

''(Left) The Statue of Pixiedance and (right) the Statue of Thel D'ran in Cathyy Circle, Capital City, TNP''<br />
<br />
Stars of Sky, The North Pacific: The North Pacific has a new forum, and a new delegate. Yesterday, Pixiedance, the nation that was controlled by Cathyy, Moldavi, and Insane Power, pulled out of the North Pacific. This created a power vacuum that lead to a mad rush to become delegate. The North was divided into two camps: Thel D’ran, the delegate cartographer, and Lungwallabad. Tresville and CiscO, long-time members of the North Pacific, called for the endorsement of Thel D’ran.<br />
<br />
Tresville wrote:<br />
I wanted Thel to get the delegacy just in case Stars was booted..and she was...i asked many to come in and support....from his endos u cuould see ADN, RLA, Seco, Westpac, PRP, Alcatraz, etc etc...all working together...something that has not been done ...well...probably ever. I didn't expect Free to get his panties in a bunch and divide us again....which he did and it only caused more problems. He should be booted along with everyone else if u were going to boot people Stars.<br />
<br />
At update, (which lasted until 9 am, Pacific Time), Thel D’ran lost 20 of his endorsements, and Lungwallabad became delegate. North Pacific Directorate members were ejected, and Stars of Sky was unbanned. Stars had been update surfing, and thus, had the most endorsements upon returning to the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
However, the “Free” reffered to in the Tresville quotes, is none other than ALL member Free4All, pivotal in the Great Blight Liberation and the beginning of the Thel D’ran administration. Free4All chastised Tresville for calling in foreign troops.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
By my knowledge the Government of the NPC issued no such request. It may be that a Minister did something like that in a rogue fashion without consulting the rest of the Cabinet, and such an individual should be looked upon with suspicion because of such a rogue action.<br />
<br />
As Minister of Defense, in charge of Intelligence, I should have been consulted prior to any request being made that foreign troops were to move into our region.<br />
<br />
Free4All then proceeded to blast Tresville and Thel D’ran.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
Great way to express we should stop fighting, while proposing that I am ejected from the region. Good job in the hypocracy department there.<br />
<br />
The way I see it, I helped prevent a LOT of problems by working to avoid a Thel Dran delegacy. I personally do not believe Thel would've handed over the delegacy to the player with the highest endorsement total. I'm convinced he would've left Stars of Sky on the banlist, giving some lame excuse for it. After all, IP/Cathyy made the deal that Thel should be the delegate and kicked Stars of Sky in the first place to make just that possible. Had Thel been elected Delegate we'd still not be liberated, though I'm convinced some of his carbonari-friends would've been on here trying to make everyone believe that a liberation had happened.<br />
<br />
Rest assured that a future Thel Dran delegacy will be interpreted by me as that same outside group once again taking power for themselves. They plunged us all into the Cathyy / Moldavi / IP disaster in the first place, so I do not expect anything positive from that at all.<br />
<br />
Regardless, it is now time for the TNP to settle down and adopt a governing document. A new forum has been set up to discuss this matter here and many factions have presented their opinions. STNP, NPC, NPD, and others are arguing for and against the merits of each system. However, the North Pacific still feels the sting of foreign intervention. As former delegate Cathyy noted “I'm sure all in TNP will be relieved to know that our former Masters the ADN have resumed their duties.” Found in the civil HQ of Nasicouria is the following message:<br />
<br />
The Republic of NIMARCI wrote:<br />
Troops are stationed in TNP keeping order.<br />
<br />
Delegate Stars of Sky is pushing for “The Democratic Articles of The North Pacific,” which is the RA-RV articles by Haor Chall combined with the STNP proposal with some compromises. Others, especially established NPC members, and lobbying for the Constitution, which is already in effect with elected and appointed officers. Ultimately, it is up to the delegate to decide the will of the people will be followed, or stifled.<br />
<br />
However, some have been complaining of ejections and banlist maintained by Stars of Sky. Currently, Cathyy, Poltsamaa, and Naspar Cosif remain banished from the region. Though part of the old regime, they are never-the-less natives, and some argue, should be allowed to participate in the reconstruction of the region. Again, I’ll stress my warning to the North. Please, for the love of all that is holy, unite, and build a government with the support of your citizens. If you continue to bicker and fight, you’ll have to fight another war of liberation.<br />

===Crazygirl invades The Old Raiding Club (Aug. 19, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/crazygirl-invades-the-old-raiding-club-t2303.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Crazy Girl (above and to the right) in a brawl with some raiders''<br />
<br />
Matey’s Bar, The Old Raiding Club: the haven for relaxation for several invader groups is under new administration. CrazyGirl, under her alias “Silent Wolf”, decided to storm in and capture the region with the help of other 3 ADN troopers.<br />
<br />
After being repelled by several defenders from organizations such as RLA and EAA under the lead of Bimisaari on the 15th, Crazygirl took advantage of the dying founder and lack of defender resources to counter her attack to take over the region.<br />
<br />
A vigorous debate sprang up in RLA boards yesterday, as several people discussed the possibility of resisting the invasion. Whilst Avenging Angels and Crazy Horses IV were eager to stop Crazygirl’s attempt, RLAF commander EuroSoviets issued a clear order to stay away: ''“As for TORC, the RLA missed two defender operations because of that tiff with the ADN. The RLA was right to intervene to hold the ADN to a higher standard as Xha'dam said but talking about a liberation is perverse when invaders are active in more important regions. This morning alone there were three operations. Tomorrow morning will be no different. It is a matter of priority and regrettably we have only so many resources. Invader regions are at the bottom of our priority list.”''<br />
<br />
As for the ADN, we are not expected to receive an official response on the subject, since the organization was not officially involved in the attack and Crazygirl has “retired”. On the occasion of the first invasion effort, Dilber stated that, despite the fact West Pacificans assisted in the attempted take-over, no ADN troopers were officially ordered in.<br />
<br />
This is not the first time Crazygirl resorts to invader tactics to assert her intentions; one need not be reminded of the invasion of Ukraine. The following was taken from The Old Raiding Club’s regional message board:<br />
<br />
''“Don't believe everything you hear and see. Also, stop your whining. Invaders invade innocent regions all the time, but when we take over an invader region (which I wouldn't call innocent) everyone who's a wannabee defender falls over it”''<br />
<br />
PNN has observed and noted that Crazygirl invaded The Old Raiding Club. Evidence is clear as crystal.<br />

<br />
The Office of the People's Puppet, Ministry of Culture, The Pacific: Today, the second anniversary of the Pacific Revolution, also marks the formal announcement and official re-introduction of the People's Puppet Project.<br />
<br />
The People's Puppet Project is a time-honored tradition in the Pacific - one begun by Francos Spain - but due to NationStates site loading issues, it has remained inactive for some time. At their best, the People's Puppets spark enlightened debate, raise interest in the offsite community, and represent our community to the rest of the NS world, and in resuming the Project, these are my main aims.<br />
<br />
The Puppets work like this: In creating a NationStates nation, there are many choices involved. With the People's Puppets, these choices are laid before the people of the Pacific. Whatever the people decide in relation to the issues and customizable fields becomes law for the puppet nations.<br />
<br />
The project, in accordance with the most recent Puppet project led by Sarda, includes three Puppets, honoring Francos Spain, Unlimited, and the people of the Pacific, and after extensive polling, the names and government types have now been chosen.<br />
<br />
The first Puppet, commemorating Unlimited, is named Scotland's Glory, and its nation type was selected as Inoffensive Centrist Democracy. Scotland's Glory has been up and running for a bit now, and its government type has already switched over to New York Times Democracy. Due to character limitations, the nation's actual name is Scotlands Glory, and it can be found here.<br />
<br />
The second Puppet, Franco's Pacific, commemorates Francos Spain, author of the revolution. Its nation type is Tyranny by Majority, and Dawn and Sun holds its reins. Just like its big bro Scotlands Glory, Francos Pacific cannot officially include an apostrophe. You can check it out here.<br />
<br />
The third and final Puppet, commemorating all of the people of the Pacific Revolution (yes, including you), is named The Pacific Crescendo, and its government type, chosen randomly, is Scandinavian Liberal Paradise. The NS link to this fine nation is here.<br />
<br />
All of the issues and special polls for these Puppets are taking place in the People's Puppet Forum. Feel free to stop by and debate, suggest, and vote to your heart's content.<br />
<br />
It is my sincere hope that the People's Puppet Project may continue in its rich history and may bring glory to the Pacific and its people! Hail Francos! Hail Unlimited! Hail Mammothistan! Hail the Revolution!<br />

===Ukraine Refounded (Aug. 27, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/ukraine-refounded-t2350.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''The Ukrainian flag, planted by Francos Spain, being lowered and replaced by the flag of the Orange Revolution''<br />
<br />
'''Kiev, Ukraine:''' With little fanfare, the last known region founded by Francos Spain was toppled and refounded by the Orange Revolution. Ukraine, which was founded by a Franconian puppet (Ukraine SSR) and given as a gift to Redcommunist of the USSR ('''U'''kraine '''S.S.R.'''), was an issue of serious contention between the Union of Sovereigns and the Alliance Defense Network. When the USSR went into Ukraine to do region-building and alleviate “the stagnation that had infected the region” (Red Communist), the Alliance Defense Network counter-invaded, leading to a showdown involving several hundred nations. While the Alliance prevailed, no one expected the Union to rally so many UN nations, making it the first joint military action that set them on nearly equal footing with the ADN.<br />
<br />
After the Alliance ejected all Soviets and Union members, the region was locked down with a password. For months, Ukraine existed with two non-UN nations, with no posts in the regional headquarters and no actions in the regional happenings. Soviets and Pacificans pleaded with the remaining two nations to allow immigration into the Ukraine, but it was to no avail. While Union sympathizers decry the Alliance for "Killing Franco's Region," the ADN steadfastly insisted they were repelling Soviet agression and it was up to the natives to decide if they wanted any help "regionbuilding."<br />
<br />
Now, the founder of Ukraine has been changed from Ukraine SSR to The Republic of The Orange Revolution. The World Factbook Entry states that the Ukraine was “Refounded in the name of The Orange Revolution. Ukraine is a former soviet republic but it is now on the way to become a western democracy.” It also notes that “Ukraine has oil so we are going to be invaded sooner or later.”<br />
<br />
Immediate speculation abounded as to who is behind the Orange Revolution. Black Adder noted that Orange was traditionally associated with the Dutch, while others associated Orange with the Irish Protestants. More likely, the Orange Revolution is linked to the real life situation that happened in the Ukraine in 2005, which saw pro-western candidate Yushchenko win the second run-off election. However, many Soviets and Pacificans feel that it is a personal jab against them, mocking the August Revolution (whose 2nd year anniversary happens in two days). Regardless of the origins of the Orange Revolution, another chapter in the history of Francos Spain has closed, and perhaps a new founder will be the end of the stagnation in this region.<br />

<br />
Tomorrow, at 07:39:57 BST it will be one year since Franco's last login. I think it is fair that the Pacific enters a 60 day long period of festival and remembrance of our Great Leader, Francos Spain, Emperor of the Pacific, culminating with a vigil on the day on which Francos Spain ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
Franco rose up with the popular support of the citizens of the Pacific to overthrow the corrupt oligarchy of Thedoc's regime, and proceeded to purge the remnants of the previous government under which the Pacific had stagnated for so long. Under his guidance, the NPO was established and provided the first real, stable government of the region.<br />
For a glorious year of enlightened government, Great Franco repeatedly protected the revolution, expelling wave after wave of subversives and thwarting many ADN invasions intended to destroy what had been accomplished, sending the invaders back to the Rejected Realms where they belong.<br />
<br />
In tribute to Franco's inspired leadership, the spirit of the NPO lives on today in the form of the PRP. Scarce few governments can claim such longevity and stability. The Pacific continues to be, and forever shall be a model for all other regions to aspire to.<br />

The latest project of the burgeoning democracy, West Pacific Radio reaches out and touches a new generation of players and gives meaning to “sound and fury.” Prosperous, democratic, on the move, and playing for both teams, the West Pacific is an odd gem found in Nationstates.<br />

'''Issues and the West Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''Media:'' While the Pacific considers itself the center of media affairs in the feeder regions, the West is giving them a run for their money. With the launching of the successful West Pacific Radio, and talk of launching a news branch, the West is stretching their communication mussels. However, PNN is currently in talks with WPR (West Pacific Radio) to broadcast PNN stories over the airwaves. Also, if a West Pacific paper is founded, Prime Minister Biyah hinted there might be an affiliation deal. This continues the feeder trend of media and news sharing.<br />
<br />
''ADN, RLA and PRP:'' Former Prime Minister Dilber should have been in the circus, as he was able to remain a very popular leader, and was able to walk any tight rope. He remained an ADN leader, normalized relations with the Pacific, and signed a Mutual Aid/Intellegence pact (The Black Sheep Alliance) with the RLA. Able to stay on everyone’s good side, the West was a bridge between the Alliance, the Socialists, and the Union. Current Prime Minister Biyah has promised to stay the course, and maintain the status quo of good relations with regions of all types.<br />
<br />
''Image and Diplomacy:'' The West Pacific, though, is at the butt end of many jokes in Nationstates. One is their propensity to shut down an embassy at the drop of an endorsement. Another is for their neutral stance. In a highly polarized world, those in the middle of the road tend to be run over. As for their diplomatic corps, Biyah stated that their main problem was reach. He felt that half of the young invaders would be in the WPLF (West Pacific Liberation Force) if they knew the truth. He also believes that the West is slandered most in regions where there are not established embassies. While the diplomats do a good job where they are, where they are not is where they need to be.<br />
<br />
''General Assembly:'' Where the people are, the Grand Assembly is currently in a state of Spring Cleaning. Ooomph, Speaker of the Grand Assembly, is currently purging nations who are not meeting the requirements of membership. There is also discussion on the procedures and decorum of the Assembly. With no major issues on the table, the West Pacific appears to be staying active by streamlining and defining the procedural requirements of GA members. As Biyah puts it “It's a peaceful time; we're all testing our shoes and kicking back for a well deserved rest.”<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
As with all feeders, now that the NPG and NPD are done, how to deal with the new government. I’ll leave you with a statement from the new Prime Minister: “We have … reopened the embassy. Our official stance is one of support. We're not going to be taking any action or giving official aid until we're specifically asked. Several elements of their population have a real paranoia about external manipulation right now; we're not going to fuel that fire. They have enough issues as it is without dealing with more fallout from our good intentions.”<br />

'''Capital City, The Pacific:''' Franco Square, as well as the rest of the capital, is brimming with construction. The People's Republic of the Pacific is preparing for the Feast of Pacific Revolution. This five day festival, which lasts from August 28 through September 1, promises to usher in sweeping change in the People's Republic as they prepare to celebrate the August revolution and the founding of the NPO and PRP. Leading up to this feast, several issues are on the table for the Pacific Senate to resolve, with foreign powers pressuring the Republic from all sides. How the Senate and AoG handle the next week will likely determine the fate of the region for the next year.<br />

'''Issues and the Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''The Alliance Defense Network:'' The first and foremost issues is the ADN Application. The vote for or against acceptance of the Pacific has been stalled in the ADN council chambers due to citizen uprising in the Pacific and Alliance considerations. Originally seen as a joke ushered in by the Mammothistanian regime, the application has been taken seriously. If the Pacific does join the Alliance, Loop of The East Pacific has promised to cut off the The Pacific from the Pacific Interactive Forums, and Redcommunist of the USSR promised to destroy the Republic or quit the game in disgusts. ADN members, however, are split on the issue: Some feel that this would lead to democratic reforms in the Republic, while others feel that this would legitimize a dangerous regime. The Pacific senate has promised that their final answer would be given by the August Revolution, and we could see either a new Alliance member, or an old stand-off. Effects on the Pacifics would be easily seen. Traditionally, the east and central Pacifics have been close friends, and the North and West have been close, while the South gets along with both blocks. Since the destabilization of the North, the West has become increasingly isolated from their brother and sister Pacifics, as the South moved closer to the central and east Pacifics by joining the PCO. With the North returning to constitutional rule, an ADN-allied Pacific could shift the balance of power to the North and West.<br />
<br />
''The Pacific Cooperation Organization:'' Regardless of ADN affiliation, the new pan-pacific forum has taken off, with over 10,000 posts in a few short months. The West Pacific, however, was not invited to join the forums due to "differences of opinions." The perceived rift, however, appears to be dying down, as WestPac members have been registering to the forums, and have engaged in dialogue with the Pacific. The Pacific News Network has been running a Tabloid magazine in the West for some time now, and currently has an agreement to broadcast on their radio station, (with the 1st PNN update expecting to occur in a few weeks). The West appears interested in joining the PCO, and the North may wish to become involved to increase Feeder Solidarity.<br />
<br />
''The University of the Pacific:'' The Pacific is currently writing legislation on founding a University. Sir Paul, Senator of Media Affairs, hopes that this University can join-up with other feeder universities to create a Pan-Pacific system of co-operation and scholarship. "The north has amazing cartography and the East has fantastic role-play. Each Pacific excels at their craft, and a Pacific-wide university system would allow each citizen to tap into a greater pool of knowledge."<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
The official PRP policy with respect to the North Pacific is Neutrality. As quoted from their FAQ, the Pacific is neutral with:<br />
<br />
The North Pacific (Directorate)<br />
The North Pacific (Underground)<br />
The North Pacific (Government)<br />
The North Pacific (Stars)<br />
The North Pacific (Confederacy)<br />
The Meritocracy<br />
Red Liberty Alliance<br />
<br />
As the North emerges from the second summer of strife, she looks to become a gleaming beam of democracy and freedom in the Nationstates Community. However, true greatness can only come when a region venture beyond its boarders, if only to spread its good name. While relations with the Pacific at this time are deemed pre-mature by many, eventually, the North will have to decide its place in Pacific politics.<br />

===Imperial Germans return to their homeland! (Sept. 10, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/imperial-germans-returns-to-their-homeland-t2418.html</ref>===<br />

''Above: Bundesrepublik leads German Cavalry on the road to Brandeburg gate''<br />
<br />
''Berlin, Germany:'' The Exodus is over. German natives, assisted by the USSR, the Pacific and Gatesville, attained the delegate position in their home, after more than 2 years of forced exile.<br />
<br />
On August 29th, founder Der Reichsprotektor was deleted by MODs, for displaying a prohibited flag (his request for repeal has not produced an answer from MODs as of yet). On that same evening, pirates from the Jolly Roger took over the region.<br />
<br />
Yet a glimmer of hope had been kindled by the events of the previous day. The despot, the eternal enemy, was out of the picture. Der Reichsprotektor had frustrated German hopes several times. The Bundesrepublik best decribes his behaviour: “''DRP continued to let the region stagnate. Every once in a while, a delegate would gain power, there would be a brief flurry of activity, and then DRP would kick the delegate for whatever sick twisted reason. While Imperial Germany grew in size, Germany continued to be in either turmoil or inactivity until well into Spring 2004''” Nazi trolling, stagnation, mockery, all was permitted under Der Reichsprotektor, all but progress.<br />
<br />
With the dictator gone, the German Empire endeavored to oust the pirates and reclaim their home. A separate forum was set up to host representatives from regions allied to The German Empire. While a backup liberation plan comprising use of force was already being devised, it was concluded by this cadre that no forceful liberation could be conducted effectively. The Jolly Roger had demonstrated fierce resistance in North Korea and it was only through patience that the USSR was able to recover the region. Indeed, three delegates held Germany for 9 days, frustrating incursions from RLA, The Capitalist Wing and others.<br />
<br />
Diplomacy was the logical step in the series of realpolitik alternatives presented in this scenario. The Jolly Roger were approached by Union members and became aware of the plight of German nations and decided to step down, insisting that only a small group of nations escort Kaiserliche Armee (UN nation of The Bundesrepublik) into the region. And so, without unnecessary blood being spilt, the Kaiser and his people finally returned home.<br />
<br />
Now we can only hope that the wishes of the delegate are fulfilled: “''Let the repatriation and healing begin. Once more shall Germany rise to the forefront of NationStates, taking its true place amongst the powers of the globe and standing for freedom, honor and truth everywhere.''” A provisional government will be installed. Union forces will remain stationed in the region at the delegate’s behest, to ensure malicious organizations are prevented from deterring the progress of Germany anymore.<br />
<br />
Enough from the journalist. Here’s the voice of the Pacifican:<br />
<br />
Hoch der Kaiser!<br />

-----<br />
'''Rillanon, Christie Island:''' From the relative safety of the East Pacific Capital, the reports of war crimes in the Indian sub-continent roll in. The Govindian government dissolved, the region was thrown into chaos and several nations offered to send aid. However, this aid usually degraded into imperialism, rape, torture, and death. The whole sub-continent is thrown into a Somalia-like state, with local warlords and the native population throwing themselves like so much ground hamburger at the advancing foreigners. Oh, good God… This just in… The Govindian Capital of New Dehli is no more. Packilvanian troops, assimilating citizens near the boards, used an orbital weapons platform to wipe the city off the map. Debris from the attack is being found as far south as Sri Lanka. 500 Million people are estimated to be dead. Ladies and Gentlemen, the East Pacific is at war.<br />
<br />
This, however, is just another typical day in the beautiful East Pacific, where the socialist will shoot you, the hive will assimilate you, the aliens will subjugate you, and death reigns from above. However, you just can’t beat the weather and endless miles of beach sand.<br />

'''Issues and the East Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''Roleplaying (war):'' The East Pacific is the only feeder that is (nearly) entirely and (almost) completely role-playing. Posting is done in character, as in the political arena, as a representative of the government in the East Pacific Confederacy, a loose binding treaty that keeps the East Pacificans from blowing each other off the map (the latter part is not usually too successful). The East Pacific Regional Map is used frequently in the RP wars, and the results of the wars are dutifully played out. There are nations on this map that have uninhabitable squares. Fish Island, for instance, has to spend the next 30 years in nuclear bunkers from the last tussle between Loop and Pax. Portions of Cupertino are uninhabitable, and all of “India” is, essentially, Somalia. The bombing became so bad that Free Pacific States, the RP moderator, now has to clear the use of all weapons of mass destruction, especially those that leave a trace on the planet. This is to keep the East from becoming a post-apocalyptic wasteland.<br />
<br />
''Roleplaying (not-war):'' But the East is more than revolutionary socialists with orbital platforms. Another popular RP going on right now is the Shiro Akademi, a naval prep academy located in 1 Infinite Loop. Each player is RPing a single cadet at the school (and not as the leader of their nations). Everything from cultural interactions, social life, and classes are discussed in this RP, allowing the players to slip into a reality that threatens to overtake their own. As is a common saying, banject RL!<br />
<br />
''Of Inter-regional conclicts:'' The East Pacific is an inward facing people, and general does not get into inter-regional affairs. That said, the East has, really, only two inter-regional nemeses. One is the West Pacific (who claims that their territory lies in the orient, as does the East Pacific). This tussle was captured in an NPR Roundtable Discussion. Even famed cartographer Thel D’ran is not taking sides on the issue. He admitted that to solve the unified NS map, “It might mean different planets.”<br />
<br />
The other rivalry that TEP faces is with the Alliance Defense Network. Since the delegate Loop was a Farker, he has been criticized for his invader roots. Before the August Revolution and Francos Spain, Loop was considered the feeder tyrant. Delegate Loop has been a vocal critic of the Alliance, but in general, the East Pacific is a “live and let live” region, fielding no army and holding no formal treaties.<br />
<br />
For defense, however, it does manage to maintain an active intelligence bureau and was able to survive a game glitch that cost Loop the delegacy, making them a resilient people. Indeed, the East is very protective of their home territory, holding the title as the feeder with the least amount of Spam. Residents of the East find it very intrusive and prosecute those who break advertising limits to the fullest extent of the law.<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
When asked about the North Pacific, the delegate of the East, 1 Infinite Loop, expressed his joy that the North Pacific is under a native delegate again and not under the “ADN propped-up regime of Stars”. He wished the North Pacific all of the best, and looks forward to a time of peace and prosperity. The delegate also hopes that the North will stay out of the Alliance, and instead become a part of the growing Feeder community.<br />

<br />
''Ranking among the most notable of the changes instituted by the Ministry of Culture is this truly splendid sign.''<br />
<br />
'''Ministry of Culture, the hills of S-Z:''' Vacant since the days when Sarda once walked its halls and called its shots, the Ministry of Culture has not been at the forefront of the Revolution in recent times. Ideas have become stagnant; venerable, active threads have dwindled, and the cultural industry has slowed to a near-grind.<br />
<br />
But today, today there is movement. Today, there is initiative. Today, there will be direction. A new age of fresh thought and renewed passion is on the horizon!<br />
<br />
Comrades! I call you to witness what has been set in motion!<br />
<br />
Organization has begun to take shape in the Pacific Gallery of Art, as that patriot and Curator Galaisa has unveiled his Grand Initiative. While its effects in the forums have not yet been felt in full force, off-site this initiative will hold true to the expectations of the people of the Pacific. New art will be made and put up for display by the nations of the Pacific, and the Pacific will continue to inspire her citizens to greater artistic heights. Hail the Gallery! Hail the Curator!<br />
<br />
A fellow patriot, Afslavistakistania has taken on the role of Cartographer. His maps shall visually display the power and unity of our region to all who may inquire as to its strength. The main map will be merged with other maps from our fellow Pacifics, through which process we may gain further awareness and understanding of our fellow feederites. It is with great excitement that the people of the Pacific look forward to his progress. Hail The Pacific and its nations! Hail the Cartographer!<br />
<br />
The Pacific Historical Society is preparing to embark on a grand initiative of its own in attempting to update the Pacific Chronicles and the Pacific Encyclopedia, and it has also provided a good place for Pacific nations to record the details of their history in NS. Our storied history should be a focus of the Ministry of Culture, and it is the Ministry's intention to give it its proper due. Hail the glorious history of The Pacific!<br />
<br />
The People's Puppets have continued to run strong. Of late, they have begun to spark more enlightened debate about the NS issues they present, as was the intention of the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry hopes to provide one issue per puppet nation per week for the enjoyment, discernment, and enlightenment of the people of The Pacific. Hail the People's Puppets!<br />
<br />
The Poetry section of the Ministry of Culture has been admittedly narrow thus far, focusing only upon the traditional form of Haiku. It is the Ministry's intention to expand this focus to include as many other forms as the people of the Pacific can provide, with the first attempt to work towards an anthology coming in the form of a competition, now underway in the Ministry of Culture. Hail the written word! Hail the powers of persuasion and amusement!<br />
<br />
The University of The Pacific is still awaiting legislation as to the duties of its overseer, but it is the Ministry's intention to aid its growth in any ways possible and to collaborate and contribute in all instances where it is deemed helpful. Hail higher knowledge!<br />
<br />
In all of these departments, there exists this one common thread: the opportunity for service to the revolution. In any of these areas that may catch your interest and more, it is more than possible to lend a hand and further the causes of Pacifican culture.<br />
<br />
And finally, the invitation from all of us at the Ministry of Culture: Come taste of our culture, and see that it is good.<br />

===Elections Announced for New Offices of the Republic (Sept. 26, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/new-elections-announced-t2547.html</ref>===<br />

''In one of his final acts as Delegate, Vanguard Unlimited checks signatures on the Republic Reform Act of 2005''<br />
<br />
'''Capital City, Francograd, The Pacific.''' On September 21st, 2005, the Senate of the Pacific government announced the passing of The Republic Reform Act of 2005 which has led to vast changes in the government structure of the Pacific. The act was approved by the Senate and the Assembly of Governors, and it called for an immediate dissolving of the AoG structure.<br />
<br />
The government now has four provinces instead of the previous iteration of six. Also, the government now has four ministries, each headed by elected officials. The eight elected officials will become a new assembly which will guide the legislative process and internal structure of the government. "The former structure worked quite well," stated former Delegate and Vanguard, Unlimited. "The Senate believed that we needed to find a way to collectively bring more minds into the civic structure of the domestic sphere of the government. Thus, we meted out this legislature and Sir Paul worked tirelessly with the AoG to create these reforms."<br />
<br />
The new structure more clearly seperates the duties of the Foreign Cadre and the Domestic Cadre, and it specifically entails that the Judicial component is seperate altogether. The Senate, which comprise the Foreign Cadre, have clearly defined roles in their duties to protect the Republic. What is even more clearly defined is how the Domestic Cadre will perform its role.<br />
<br />
The provinces will be charged with accepting citizenship applications, a new component in the Republic. Previously, citizenship was an amorphous concept, but it is now clearly defined in the recent legislation. Citizens cannot vote or hold office unless they are citizens. Nations are permitted to hold dual-citizenship as long as they complete their application.<br />
<br />
On September 26th, 2005, the Senator of Administration announced elections for all offices as listed in the Reform Act. All offices are expected to be filled by 15 October 2005. The elections will run between October 5 to 15th. Applications can be filed in The Department of Administration for both the office of Governor and Minister. All inquiries regarding the elections and the procedures may be directed to Warrior Thorin.<br />

===State of the Feeders: The South Pacific (Oct. 3, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/state-of-the-feeders-t2597.html</ref>===<br />

''The fourth of a five-part series, The North Pacific Wire will publish an in-depth look at each feeder region each Monday, focusing on its relations with the Feeder community and The North Pacific. The editors hope that this series will help the nations of TNP make sound foreign policy decisions as it enters a new era.''<br />
-----<br />
'''Chupa, Fudgetopia:''' The Pacific is the dawn of life. Being the first region, it is Ethiopia. It follows, then, that the South Pacific is Mesopotamia. The South is a pioneer in the feeders, being the first Pacific with a civilization and a history. The South has a rich and vibrant tradition, and their current government has lasted for two and one-half years. They have been the foremost opponents of the NPO, yet supporters of the PRP. Allies to the North and West, yet that alliance is suspended. Bound by marriage to the East, but the blushing bride seems to have retired. The South’s involvement in inter-regional affairs have also waxed and waned, much like the civilizations in the Fertile Crescent. The South, with its joining of the Pacific Co-operation Organization, has been waxing for the last 8 months. It is only a matter of time to see if it will wax all the way to the southern boarder of The North Pacific.<br />

'''Issues and the South Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''TSP Cliques:'' The South Pacific has been called, by some, an “old boys club.” Vice President and head of the government, Fudgie, spoke with me at the Lodge, located in the Fudgtopian capital. Sipping a glass of Australian Chardonnay, the Vice President informed this reporter that, in reality, she is the only “old boy” left, making it, if anything, an “old girls club.” She also told me that some outsiders confuse the South with being a clique because of the isolationism. In general, they prefer the company of friends. Indeed, an aura of friendship can be felt on the forums. The friendship here seems paramount, as the industry of the region is exerted on OOC pursuits, such as RL discussions and posting games. Since the creation of the Pacific Interactive Forums, the Southerners have been exposed to East Pacific and Pacific cultures and people, leading to an understanding that the “Cliquey” TSPers were simply isolationists, who are good friends, which is a hallmark of their unity and region.<br />
<br />
''Red Tape:'' I then inquired about the council and the government of the South Pacific. The VP the kicked off her shoes and placed them on an ottoman, while a servant exchanged her drink with a more assertive California White Wine, a glass of Viognier, along with a Mature Blue Stilton, a sharp cheese. She then explained the complexities and intricacies of the government. In general, the region functions as a pure democracy, with every bill and law being debated and passed by the council, which is made up of every citizen. The timetable from getting a bill proposed to passed is about one month. Considering the two-month terms of office, (compared with the three months in the West and the four months in the Pacific), it can be daunting for secretaries to finish their agendas before being bounced from office. However, the system has compensated by, in general, re-electing officers. VP Fudgie has held her job for 8 months, and has been involved in TSP politics for many a long time. However, there is not much in the system at the moment. No grand reforms, no pressing business, no shocking legislation. The South seems set on cruise control, and seems to enjoy the laid back lifestyle and chipper view from the beach.<br />
<br />
''Humor:'' After such a heavy subject, I moved on to ask about the lighter side of the South Pacific. Notably, that Hawaiian Print Aloha Shirts and Lampshades were the official dress code for a while. Fudgie chuckled, and shook her head as she smiled. "We’ve been trying to shake the party image for a while, but this certainly takes me back." She snapped her fingers once, and a servant brought out two Mai Tais and grilled shrimp cocktail. “Actually, I finally got rid of all of my Hawaiian print shirts and my pair of Hawaiian print underpants.” She sips her drink through the loopy straw, while maintaining her prestige of office. I am baffled how she pulls it off. “The South is still a kickback place of friends, but we have grown up a bit over the years. We have a good defense force, and a strong intelligence organization which works very well with our allies and our secretary of defense. We have to maintain a balance between fun and responsibility."<br />
<br />
''Foreign Affairs:'' “Speaking of the DSP, when was the last time they were deployed, Madam Vice President?” Fudgie looked at her empty Mai Tai and shrimp shells. “You bring up a meaty subject, Sir Paul. Why don’t we chew the fat?” The servant comes out, this time with Porterhouse Steaks and an Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. I asked the servant how he knew that I enjoyed my steak medium rare. He informed me that the South Pacific’s Intelligence is very good. Fudgie, cutting into her filet section, told me that “the last deployment of our forces was during the Zeta One affair.” She then bit into her steak to get the bad taste out of her mouth. The Zeta One affair was when the delegate of the West ejected some members and declared himself king of the West Pacific. Virtually all Nationstates armies mobilized, only to find out that it was a “test” of the region’s preparedness. Many in the South were not pleased with the false alarm. The Vice President also doubted that the United Democratic Pacific Treaty (UDP) would be renewed, not necessarily because of the Zeta One affair, but for a “variety of happenings in Nationstates and the Feeders.”<br />
<br />
''Newcomers:'' As we were finishing up dinner, I inquired about the forum registration. The South is the only feeder that requires verification during registration. In response, the plates were cleared, coffee was poured, and cake served. “I hope you are not implying that the South is not a good host to guests and friends,” the Vice President stated. I told her that I didn’t, and found them a quite hospitable people. “The verification process is in place because of certain ‘problems’ that we have had in the past. A certain person who is banned, but makes new accounts and posts. Again, we must maintain a balance between our responsibilities and our pursuits.”<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
Asking a South Pacifican what they think about North Pacificans is much like asking Americans what they think of Canadians. Answer: We don’t. The South has no official policy on the North one way or the other. While there is a North Pacific embassy, it has been inactive for some time, and the South has not sent an ambassador in quite a while. If any political discourse is to happen between the two regions, it will probably have to come from the North first.<br />

===Culture in NationStates: The FreeMasons (Oct. 17, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/culture-in-ns-the-freemasons-t2696.html</ref>===<br />

''OBSTUPUI STETERUNTOUR / COMAE, ET VOX PAUCIBUS MAESIT:<br />
The hair of the dumbstruck is stood on end;<br />
And a voice mourned to the few.''<br />
<br />
In real life it would be glaringly obvious to state that people have opinions. Some opinions so complete as to be a virtual grand unified theory of social relations, e.g. Marxism or Libertarianism, some are just vague ideas about things as undefined as human nature or whether or not governments really are keeping details on alien spaceships secret from the public. For those of us that play Nationstates, we may run into real life holders of certain opinions only rarely if at all. Over the course of the 'Culture in NationStates' series, I intend to examine some world-views, give our readers some grounding in them, present the opinions of some holders of those views, some opponents of those views and then pass off the problem of assessing which is right and wrong to the reader.<br />
<br />
Freemasonry is something I've never come across in real life. Having checked the United Grand Lodge of England website, I find there are no registered lodges on the island of Ireland. I'm told this isn't necessarily a bad thing by Danitoria, the Delegate of the ASE. I've interviewed several Freemasons who play NationStates - each of them came forward voluntarily; Blackadder of The Pacific, Thel Dran of Lemuria, 1 Infinite Loop of The East Pacific, Romanoffia or The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
Contrary to how I introduced this article however, Blackadder commented, "Being a Mason is supposed to be 24/7. Game or not it is part of what we are so it translates out into how we react. Masonry isn't an ideology so much like Socialism or Libertarianism, its a moral credo. Take your rites and you'll know what I mean." In this I would argue that socialism does translate out into how we socialists react 24/7 (generally irreverent buggers that we are!) but one thing struck me; all of those who answered my short questions were convinced of one thing. The benefit of the fraternal feelings engendered by common membership in a Masonic Lodge.<br />
<br />
Loop, talking about how the bond between Masonic Lodge members translated into gameplay in Nationstates, said it "has brought about new friendships in the game, and more patience with those associated with the Brothers." With beautiful rhetorical flourish, Romanoffia elaborated on the responsibilities of Masons inside NationStates as with every aspect of their lives, "It means that one should apply one's morals and ethics to the game as much as the game permits. By doing so, it means that one must be ready to be assailed by some for sticking to your immovable position. It means that you must do nothing to wrong, cheat or defraud anyone. I means that you must let nothing compromise your moral and ethical stance and to resspect and promote the truth regardless of the consequences." Thel Dran on the other hand believed application of Masonic morality was for each Brother to decide for himself.<br />
<br />
The legends that surround the Freemasons are somewhat obscure to many people - at least to anyone who hasn't read the buffoonery of Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' but one of the most enduring myths is that the Freemasons, themselves descended from the Knights Templar, are in possession of the Holy Grail - rumoured to be a goblet from which Jesus b. Joseph drank from at the Last Supper.<br />
<br />
When asked who had the Holy Grail, Romanoffia and Loop claimed it for themselves whilst Blackadder point out, "I believe its Mervin Bigglesworth, Fishmonger. Lately of Aberdeen but I could be mistaken. Let me see that handshake again... ." Thel Dran enigmatically commented, "about conspiracies in general, both of Masons and in NationStates, I try to keep this in mind: If only 1% of what's said of us is true, would we actually have time to play this game?"<br />
<br />
Of the whole matter, Romanoffia lent me his own insights. "The Holy Grail is an ideal and not a physical item. In fact, the "Holy Grail" in historical terms is essentially a literary fabrication of medieval troubadors to represent the one single truth or desire that is to be obtained. For the medieval troubador, it was illicit love in the sense of Lohengrin. That is, Lohengrin sought the forbidden love of a woman with the idea that he would suffer eternal damnation and seperation from God for all eternity for the sake of earthly love of a particular woman in the hear an now. That's a pretty bold statement for anyone at any time who believes in a literal Hell.<br />
<br />
This brings up the thematic point that the real Holy Grail in Arthurian legend wasn't a drinking vessel - it was the 'eternal feminine' for which each Knight of the Round Table sought, suffered for, and eventually met their demise for not realizing that the Grail was not the literal cup that Christ allegedly drank from at the last supper, but it was something that was right in front of all of them, yet they didn't realize that they didn't have to go looking for at all. They already had it!<br />
<br />
The other literary reference is that the 'Holy Grail' or rather the 'San Greal' or 'Sangue Raal' is really the "Holy Blood" of the alleged descendants of Christ (who, according to the Marovingian legends) were Christ's literal blood decendants. San Greal = Sang (blood) Real (royal). The Marovingian House claimed to be the direct literal decendents of Christ's offspring by Mary Magdelen according to that legend. Largely speaking, it historically appears to just be a means for some Medieval royal family to lend legitimacy to the 'Divine Right of Kings' theory."<br />
<br />
Fascinated as I was, and any historian would be, by the lore of Freemasonry I also felt duty bound to investigate various websites and ask certain people about their opinions on Freemasonry. Blackbird, a noted NS Trotskyist and Director of Red Liberty Alliance Intelligence, asked with characteristic dry wit, "Do they have a Central Committee?"<br />
<br />
Danitoria went a little more in depth. "I'll give you the reason I don't like them in one sentence: something that is secret, elitist and influential at the same time can never be allowed to exist." Investigating a Masonic information site, I discovered some literature on those who do not like Masons and Freemasonry for one reason or another. These types were categorized thusly: Religious Intolerants, Hate Groups, Conspiracy Theorists and Self-Servers. Reading a little further, the author of the site commented (in a discouragingly patronising fashion) on how the vast majority of these people were college drop outs, of little education in theology or philosophy or any branch of the liberal arts which would lend their gripes credence.<br />
<br />
In response Danitoria retorted "Do you know anything about freemasons? In the UK? They are scum...Freemasons are cops, judges, businessmen, toffs, local politicians - the collective [Conservative] elite. Across England they are the influential, the wealthy, the reactionary and the privileged. And that is all that they are and all they will ever be. I've never heard of a lodge in the UK, or anywhere, even letting women join. They have "wives' nights" and are a disgusting mixture of pathetic, antiquated and dangerous."<br />
<br />
I did find evidence of some so-called Masonic Lodges which were more liberal about women and so on - but these were quite openly denied association with the UGLE which I linked to above. The one notable thing was that the only properly theological requirement for membership was belief in a supreme being; God, Yahweh, Allah and so on were all acceptable to the Masons. Danitoria's complaint was not without substance however as an investigation into famous Masons soon revealed (Famous Masons A-L, M-Z). With people like Mikhail Kutuzov and Frederick II of Prussia cited, in the latter case as "Effective military commander, music composer, patron of literature and the arts and institutor of many social reforms," Freemasonry is certainly something that elites of both Property and Capital are noted for being interested in. More recently, American political elites - of distinct seniority in Congress and the White House are also extant in the rolls of good and great Masons.<br />
<br />
Of course many will disagree that this is a bad thing, believing the world today to be meritocratic, where good men can rise - and who better than Masons, duty bound to Brotherly Love, Relief (i.e. charity and voluntary works), and Truth to fulfill that role. This article is open ended and the choice between two viewpoints herein presented must be made by the reader. What is ever fascinating is watching the reality of the viewpoints which define us as people filter into the mini-world we've created for ourselves.<br />

===The People's Militia captures Warzone Australia! (Oct. 16, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-s-militia-captures-warzone-australia-t2691.html</ref>===<br />

''Above: troops stealthily disembarking in the Australian coast''<br />
<br />
Darwin, Warzone Australia: the People’s Militia, after a spell of prolonged inactivity in the warzones, has once again proved it’s a force to be reckoned with.<br />
<br />
Aided by both Moscovy from the USSR and Gateborg from The Young World, the militia produced 12 troopers within 30 minutes to overtake Galts Gulch delegate Sirthis. The Pacific’s last incursion into a Warzone had taken place in June and our soldiers were looking to shake dust off their boots.<br />
<br />
Since the Pacific does not place value on the possession of warzones save for training purposes, commander Nea Petropolis does not plan to hold Warzone Australia for too long.<br />
<br />
Unexpected arrivals from Tresville and the infamous People’s Revolutionary Party, coupled with a late update, threatened our trooper’s momentum for a while. But they were too few and too late. Tyranny was deposed once again. The Blue and Black prevailed over all foes.<br />
<br />
Alas, a NationStates server crash did not allow for much celebration. Pacificans hope a system reboot that could erase changes in the past day will not be necessary. In any case, the objective was accomplished.<br />
<br />
It was certainly refreshing to see some new faces participating actively within our ranks. Discipline was to be commended. The following is a list of troopers involved.<br />

'''Malev, Kandarin:''' After paying a jolly ferryman to cross the river Styx, a nice puppy with three heads licked my hand as I was escorted to a glass elevator. Proceeding from B1 to B7, I reached an opulent place made of gold. It seemed too small for the residents of the Rejected Realms to use, but as we approached, it appeared as if we shrunk, until the golden palace, called Pandemonium, was soaring over my zenith. As I approached the throne, I noticed a similarity to Republican Headquarters, but I dismissed the resemblance to such evil. I’m sure my host was a charming fellow.<br />

'''Issues and the Rejected Realms'''<br />
<br />
''Yvan Eht Nioj:'' “When the pilgrims landed in the New World, the first civic structure (after the church) was the jail. Even them, in all their holy goodness, needed a place to put the outcasts and refuse of society. After they filled up the jails, they filled up Rhode Island, but that’s another story. The Rejected Realms, then, is, first and foremost, a prison; a place where those who are on the wrong side of the law (or politics) are placed. However, when a bunch of outcasts are put together, they realize that they can create an army to retake their old homes. This was the founding of the Rejected Realms Army, which continues to this day.”<br />
<br />
Indeed, the RRA is still a major player in the defender community. A prime location, the RR’s regional happenings board informs players of political hotspots where ejections are happening. This allows the RR to remain at the forefront of the defender community. The Army also plays well with others. As a signatory to both the Alliance Defense Network and the Allied Liberation League, they, of course, help out in those defense missions, but they have been known to defend with TITO, RLA, GLA, and independently. The RRA is a beacon of activity in this region.<br />
<br />
''Inactivity / DEAT:'' Like all feeders, the Rejected Realms has a large portion of the population that chooses to stagnate. Unfortunately, the RR does not have the sheer numbers a Pacific does to support a large off-site forum. Of all the feeders, the RR is the smallest and the least active forum and government. In a sense, there really isn’t a government. “There is an off-site forum, but, in general, without an eject/ban button, there is no way to have a government. Governments are created by people who agree to surrender sovereignty in exchange for security. Without the means of enforcement, there would be no way to force a surrender of sovereignty to the government. Thus, we have a libertarian rule. All may do as they wish, and they will not be banned for it.”<br />
<br />
''The People's Democratic Party:'' The lack of activity, according to some, has spawned the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). It’s leader, Darius, claims that he is trying to bring choice and activity to a dying region, while detractors claim that he is an imperialists who is trying to take over an ejection-less region. There was a point where an invader group endorsed Darius, trying to unseat Kandarin, while then lead to a defender counter-response, buoying Kandarin far above Darius. This leads, of course, to the question: Does Kandarin have native support, or are outside forces keeping him in power. The answer: It doesn’t matter. As a feeder, all nations are natives of the Rejected Realms, and regardless on how Kandarin holds onto power, should there ever be a showdown in this ejectionless region, we’d simply have another NS WWI: Trench Warefare. While Darius left the UN to prove that he would not take endorsements from outside interests, opinion is still divided on the PDP.<br />
<br />
'''Relations with The North:''' As a libertarian region, there really are not relations with the North. In general, the official policy is laissez faire. “We will defend with them, if they choose to defend again, and while we root for their recovery, their affairs are not our own. If it all goes to RR in a handbasket, we have plenty of room for the displaced residents.”<br />

===Pierconium Appointed to ''The'' Pacific Senate (Oct. 17, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-appointed-to-senate-t2698.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Pierconium at his campaign headquarters after hearing the news''<br />
<br />
'''Capital City, ''The'' Pacific:''' From disgrace to triumph, Senator Pierconium, Grand Inquisitor of ''The'' Pacific, takes his seat on The Pantheon of Great Pacificans. On the Feast of St. Wenceslas Day, Pierconium has completed his trial by fire. Purified by the refiner’s flame, Senator Pierconium can resume the life-long journey of servitude that is a Senatorial Commission of ''The'' Pacific.<br />
<br />
The world can look at Comrade Pierconium's example and see the quality of men and women that ''The'' Pacific takes to its heart. After losing his commission for involving a puppet nation in the Pixiedance affair, Pierconium never left the Pacific. As the months passed, and the judicial system of the Pacific fell into disrepair and crisis, Comrade Pierconium continued to serve ''The'' Pacific with a humble countenance. His dedication lead to his appointment to Chief Justice once more.<br />
<br />
But this was not enough for a Comrade who cleansed the dirt that was left in his office by his predecessors. Pierconium re-established the Praetorian Guard, he cleansed ''The'' Pacific, and brought life to his region and his department. It is with great humility that Pierconium did his duties, and for many months, served his region loyally. Those are the foremost qualities that a Senator of The Pacific must possess… Loyalty and Servitude.<br />
<br />
On this day, the day that ''The'' Pacific withstood the glitch attack, showing that neither man nor machine can cause the downfall of ''The'' Pacific, the Senate selects a citizen to service. Invoking the Authority of Francos Spain, those he anointed, the Full Senate Assembled, by unanimous vote, grants a Senatorial Commission to Pierconium. He is now anointed as a steward and guardian of ''The'' Pacific. May he remember to place ''The'' Pacific before himself, and always carry the Spirit of the August Revolution forward, guided by the ideals of Peace, Strength, and Prosperity.<br />
<br />
Hail Pierconium, Senator of Justice of ''The'' Pacific!<br />

'''Formossa, Atlantic''' The mighty Atlantic, conqueror of Pacifics, Nationstates oldest military organization, has been liberated by the People’s Republic of ''The'' Pacific. This region was previously conquered by the Bloodmoon Empire, an invader organization that prides itself on the mistreatment of the natives. After receiving requests from the natives to help liberate them and secure the region, ''The'' Pacific, endorsing native Formossa, was able to help transfer power back to the residents of Atlantic. The new delegate’s first act was to unban all of the nations that were ejected by the raiders. Lt. Gordonel mustered the citizen soldiers and marched to Atlantic to end the tyranny.<br />
<br />
But then crisis erupted on the other side of the world. The West Pacific’s government had fallen, and martial law had occurred. The troops continued the fight in Atlantic, while waiting for the Senate to decide what would be done. Then, the call went out. Ranking Member of the Legitimate Government, Dilber, requested that foreign troops move in and support the Regent. While Lt. Gordonel would stay in Atlantic to oversee the battle, Lt. Risellia, master of tactics, ordered troops to disengage the enemy in the dead of winter, marched them around the world, and took up arms in the West.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for Atlantic, ''The'' Pacific left just enough troops to ensure victory, and Atlantic is now an independent region once more, with no nations on the ban list. Meanwhile, Pacific troops are endorsing West Pacific Regent Wickedly Evil People, and their numbers are growing by the hour.<br />
<br />
Today, we salute the brave men and women of the People’s Militia, and their ability to fight a two-front war.<br />

''A Pro-Constitution Demonstrator, protesting the Dominion''<br />
<br />
'''Administration Island, The West Pacific''': With shock and awe, the old West Pacific was torn down in a blaze of napalm. The old s8 forums have been struck down and rendered useless. The libraries of history are consumed in flames before the populace. Ashes and char are the only remnants of the former government.<br />
<br />
In its place is a new black monolith, home to The West Pacific Dominion. Here, new forums were created to replicate the old. The constitution, dissolved. The Assembly, disbanded. The democracy, destroyed.<br />
<br />
The West, according to Biyah, is now to be run by an ADN-based core, made of the following nations:<br />
<br />
''Biyah, Chainik Hocker, {{Strikethrough|Dilber}}, [[Gasponia in NationStates|Gaspo]], Halmont, Looming Doom, Minineenee, Shasoria, TAO, ZetaOne, Zorn-Uzkul''<br />
<br />
The most odd member of the Core is Gaspo, who held no office before the switch-over and was only a member of the Grand Assembly (every TWP nation with population over 100 million). He is, however, a member of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Dilber, however, has rejected being part of the Core, and has already formed a Rebellion to take back the forums and the region. The regent of the West, Wickedly Evil People (Puppet of Eli), has not been ejected, and is currently attempting to overtake Delegate Minineenee. Berphamore put out this statement today<br />
<br />
Berphamore @ Regional HQ wrote:<br />
We've been betrayed.<br />
<br />
Minineenee has dissolved the Constitution, closed the old forum and restricted access on this 'new' forum.<br />
<br />
If you want a voice in your own Region, The West Pacific, endorse Wickedly Evil People. He is the legal ruler now that Minineenee has turned from democracy to fascism.<br />
<br />
Fight tyranny<br />
<br />
Punish treachery<br />
<br />
Endorse Wickedly Evil People - the Regent and true ruler of the West Pacific<br />
<br />
Democracy is a STRENGTH<br />
<br />
In an interview with Rebel Leader Dilber, he informed PNN that the coup was a result of a think-tank to increase activity. He stated that the West was too stable, and stability leads to boredom. Thus, many decided that an overthrow of the government would be fun and lead to more activity.<br />
<br />
Biyah, leader of the West Pacific Dominion (the new regime), posted this announcement for his reasoning.<br />

It has been noted by many that The West Pacific has stagnated; interest has waned and the government is simply not drawing the interest that it could. We government officials of The West Pacific have noted this problem time and time again.<br />
<br />
No easy answer has presented itself and thus, we feel that we must take drastic measures.<br />
<br />
Therefore we the Chosen declare that the West Pacific constitutional government is dissolved, the constitution dismissed, and the region placed in a state of Martial Law. From the ashes of the Constitutional Government, The West Pacific Dominion is hereby born.<br />
<br />
The new legislative body of the WPD, the Core of the Dominion, has agreed to this change in government and fully endorses it. We Chosen assume full responsibility for the fair and impartial running of the region until such time as a new government may be installed.<br />
<br />
[snip]...[/snip]<br />
<br />
Former Administrators, Global Moderators and persons of government import not listed in the Core are hereby stripped of their positions. Those that wish to continue their service to The West Pacific may do so after this initial action, but be aware that each department head will have his or her own standards to which you must adhere. We are in a state of martial law and our attitude will reflect this state.<br />
<br />
Those of you with positions not covered by the current Core members will deal directly with me, The Consul, for your positions. It should also be noted that legislative bodies such as the former Grand Assembly and Council do not exist within the Dominion, so basic Council and GA members will not be able to resume their duties at this time. It is entirely possible that the Core of the Dominion will expand, and/or that an assembly of Citizens will be formed, at a later time.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific Dominion has contacted a number of regions that hold alliances we consider essential to our regional well being, a list shall be provided at a later date with their relative status. Those that have not been deemed essential to The West Pacific’s regional safety shall be re-examined at the first available opportunity and our final decision will be delivered promptly. Those regions wishing to know the status of our deliberations need only contact Minister ZetaOne, the head of our Foreign Diplomatic Corps.<br />
<br />
Finally, there is now a 25% endorsement total cap in place for The West Pacific. Everyone over this total has 24 hours to drop UN status or leave for an update before they are banned for one update to clear the endorsements. Please note that any bid for the delegacy will be met with the strongest possible consequences. This cap will remain in place until further notice.<br />
<br />
Welcome to the brave new world!<br />
<br />
~Biyah, Consul of the Dominion - With the voice of the entire Core of the Dominion<br />
<br />
Considering the new endorsement cap, and also considering the Regent is above it, Dilbert stated that he expects the purges to happen tonight. If they do occur, the first nation ejected would probably be Regent Eli, who had this to say:<br />
<br />
''Eli (right), asking for aid at the ASE, with EuroSoviets looking on''<br />
<br />
Eli @ The Allied States of EuroIslanders wrote:<br />
Greetings Friends,<br />
<br />
I come today with a heavy heart as a blanket of oppression has descended over The West Pacific today. A self serving minority recruited from far and wide within the NS world and domestically within TWP has declared martial law and has in fact assumed power in a lawless, unprecedented act aimed at achieving power for the few over the many. Heed not their protestations of good intent observe the method of the tyrant. Closes the assembly place of the legally selected legislators and Councillors. Ask for the permission or the deference of the ADN alliance that the power grab will go uncontested. Fire all government officials deemed untrustworthy.<br />
<br />
I as the former Regent of that government, my nation is Wickedly Evil People in TWP, demand that the Junta cede power to reform the government to the legally selected Grand Assembly and to the Council. That the Dictator Biyah resign and that a caretaker Prime Minister be selected. I would advocate that Shasoria accept that role as one trusted by all.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough, the only embassies remaining are Nasicouria’s, the Alliance Defense Network’s, and the Allied States of EuroIslander’s. While many were expecting the ADN and RLA to fight to overthrow the government, Pope Hope has thrown their arms open to the new regime, while EuroSoviets hoping for "a continued allied relationship." Despite the fact that both regions claim that they “love democracy” and would “fight to defend the constitution and legitimate government of the West Pacific,” it is clear that both of these Alliances view the West Pacific as a tool to be used for its resources. As long as the Dominion swears allegiance to the ADN (as they have), these Userite organizations will continue to prop-up the Dominion. Senator Unlimited stated that “this is further proof that the Userites do not care about democracy or the well-being of the Pacifics. They see us as human charcoal for their war machines and imperialist rule.”<br />
<br />
The Pacific, as always, has opened its boarders to political refugees and those wishing to flee the events unfolding in the West. <br />
<br />
'''*Nov 3, 2005 UPDATE*'''<br />
<br />
The Original West Pacific Forums are back up and running. The r00t is retired nation Lanier. Resistance leader Dilber suspects that someone was able to contact him, and he has restored the forums. PNN will keep you posted as this story unfolds.<br />
<br />
'''*Nov 3, 2005 UPDATE*'''<br />
<br />
It appears as if Eli's, Dilber's and Berphamore's pleas have been answered by the ASE and the RLA. Statements taken by ranking officals indicated that they will stand by the constitutionalists and the regent, and they will fight the Core and the Dominion.<br />
<br />
Xha'dam @ ASE wrote:<br />
Comrade Dilber, you have my full support. The ASE has stood by the West Pacific too long to abandon her in her darkest hour. We will fight as long as the WPD draws breath and we will not cease until freedom is restored. You have my word on this.<br />

===Pierconium speaks! (Nov. 12, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-speaks-t2926.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Gordonel<br />
<br />
''Pierconium, Senator of Justice, speaks openly in his interview with PNN reporter Gordonel''<br />
<br />
'''PNN Interview office, The Pacific.'''<br />
''This is the first of a two-part interview - It should also be noted that the majority of answers for this interview are OOC and from the perspective of the player behind the nations and not from the nations themselves.''<br />
<br />
------------------------------- Part 1 -------------------------------<br />
''I guess the easiest place to start is at the beginning, how did you come across Nationstates, and where did you go when you got here?''<br />
<br />
Well, I found NationStates.net as a link on a gaming forum. I don’t recall the game right now. My first nation was created in The Pacific, it was the only feeder then, in the very early part of 2003 (possibly the last part of 2002), about 2 months after the game was launched. I stuck to the internal aspects of the game only. I did some swapping, answered some issues and observed a few events and then got a RL job promotion so I gave up the game in late spring. After about 3-4 months I found the game again linked on the Rise of Nations gameplay forum. I created Borogravia Moldavi and moved to Sparrow in September 2003. Involvement in Sparrow led to much more interaction than my previous experience did and I stuck with the game.<br />
<br />
''Which would you consider - at the time - was your 'main' region?''<br />
<br />
Borogravia Moldavi was my main nation and remains one of my most prominent and recognizable nations in the game. Other nations have taken precedent in other arenas, Pierconium in The Pacific, Greater Moldavi in The Meritocracy and Gracius Maximus in The North Pacific have all had distinctly different “careers” in the game.<br />
<br />
''New Sparrow was an ADN region at first, right? What was your position in the ADN back then?''<br />
<br />
Sparrow applied to join the ADN in October 2003. I was the Regional UN Delegate at the time and represented Sparrow to the Alliance Defense Network. After Sparrow was griefed in December and we (the remnant nations) formed New Sparrow we maintained our position in the ADN. “Moldavi” rose relatively quickly through the rank structure to eventually become Attorney General, Secretary of State and an advisor and admin on the ADN forums.<br />
<br />
''And how did these positions fit in with your Senator status in The Meritocracy?''<br />
<br />
Well, to be honest, I learned of the Meritocracy via interaction on the ADN forum. I applied and the ADN influence that was already prevalent in the Senate bolstered my vote and I entered easily. It was a blessing and a curse. It was difficult to see the ADN bias in the Senate at a later date when I was no longer enamored with their policies and to know that I played a small part in its initial establishment.<br />
<br />
''Since this time, both New Sparrow and the Meritocracy have collapsed (The Meritocracy being re-born), What was your reasoning for shutting down New Sparrow?''<br />
<br />
New Sparrow suffered from perfection. After nearly two years of constant legislation to create what the citizens viewed as a perfect example of representative democracy in a player created region we achieved it. Then we got lazy. Recruitment dropped because we didn’t want to risk including an unstable element in the region. Forum activity dropped and eventually the population dropped. The core group of players started to dwindle as people moved on with RL, etc. Eventually it was just a handful of nations, some active, some not, all just sitting in a stagnant region. Some of us moved on to other activities. The rest decided to leave the game. It should be noted that some of the older Sparrow nations have started moving back to the original Sparrow region and are currently, slowly, working on rebuilding it. I am not taking a primary role in that endeavor at present however.<br />
<br />
''And your thoughts on the end of The Meritocracy? And the re-incarnation that exists now?''<br />
<br />
I believe The Meritocratic Senate could have withstood the mass defections and could have weathered the storm, as it had in the past. Unfortunately the Founder did not give it that chance. The current Senate is slowly starting to resemble the Senate of old but I believe it still has a long way to go. The recent activity is promising though. The first few months of the new Senate have been less than impressive overall, in my opinion, as I have shared with some.<br />
<br />
''Your loyalty and activity now seem to be entirely focused in The Pacific, This wasn't always the case, what sort of opposition did you receive when you originally announced you had joined the PRP/NPO?''<br />
<br />
Well, on some fronts it was a mixed bag. Since Pierconium joined The Pacific as a spy for the ADN it was not really a surprise overall to some that I “announced” membership in the NPO. It was quite a test of my gaming resolve in the Meritocracy in particular however. While some maintained the ideals of merit many took my IC support of a dynamic totalitarian regime as a personal attack and felt the need to respond in kind. These Senators displayed the true nature of the Meritocracy for me. That is wasn’t meritocratic unless it fit into their political ideology. The nations in Sparrow, almost always observant of the concepts of duality, had very little reaction overall. Two nations left for other ADN regions but they were suspected of being internal spies. Several nations sent me congratulations. Some sent hate-mail. That is the nature of the game.<br />
<br />
''You were appointed Senator of Justice just after the founding of the PRP, in later 2004. What positions had you held previously in the Pacific?''<br />
<br />
I served as Governor of the Victory Province (V) under Francos Spain and was appointed Interim High Judge of the Pacific after Poskrebyshev left the game.<br />
<br />
''Before we move onto your Pacifican times, I'd like to question you about what you might perhaps think of as a blotch on your Nationstates Career. The story of Pixiedance, the NPD and The North Pacific. How did the situation there begin?''<br />
<br />
Well, first, it was not a blotch. I consider the successful, for however long, control of a feeder region during a tumultuous time of unrest to be a high mark on any career. Admittedly there were mistakes made, primarily in staffing, but overall it was a success, in my opinion. That being said, Gracius Maximus led a relatively quiet life in the north for most of its existence, with a period of time as a cte nation. After the resignation of the Minister of Justice in December 2004 Gracius Maximus was appointed by the Delegate to serve in this capacity. The methodology and tactics that led up to this particular appointment along with some subsequent actions will be discussed in more detail in some of my Pacific University courses in the future.<br />
<br />
''And before taking control of Pixiedance, what was your involvement in The North Pacific?''<br />
<br />
Gracius Maximus served as Deputy Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice, heading up the shortlived constitutional convention that marked the end of that governments era.<br />
<br />
''And (If any) involvement/thoughts on the Great Bight/UPS rail affair?''<br />
<br />
Pierconium took part in some of the debate on whether Great Bight constituted a legitimately elected “native” delegate. Borogravia Moldavi ordered SECO (New Sparrow’s military) into the region to bolster Great Bight because it believed that the sitting Delegate, who was elected via the endorsement of “native” north Pacific nations was the legitimate Delegate and that others, namely the ADN and ALL, were invading the region. SECO was acting in a defensive capacity in the face of “devader” aggression.<br />
<br />
''How would you describe your reign in The North Pacific? What were you hoping to achieve, and did you?''<br />
<br />
Ordered comes to mind. It was efficient. My initial hopes were to establish an orderly regime that would bring peace to what had become a fractured region. That failed because of continued outside interference and certain rogue elements that refused to accept the Directorates direction. Ultimately it developed more into a desire to create something memorable NS-wise. And while it was not the NPO and may not have reached the legendary status of some groups in NS history I believe it will be remembered, for good or bad, and that was my ultimate goal.<br />
<br />
''Who were the ones that fought against you more than any others? Do you think they were justified in fighting against you? What do you think of the way they did it?''<br />
<br />
The north Pacific underground movement was the primary opposition to the Directorate. Several outside organizations voiced condemnation but could accomplish little in the way of real opposition. Puppetmaster II: The Wrath of Ivan was planned by the ADN but the weeks of planning came to naught as ten minutes of ejecting on the part of the Delegate totally dismembered their cause. Equilism, the Meritocracy and the west Pacific all issued proclamations against the NPD but did little to help with the unseating effort. It should be noted that the west did provide the underground with some interesting intel but that was the extent of their effectiveness. As to whether or not they were justified, I say yes and no. No in that Pixiedance was the regional Delegate according to all game admin and moderation and game rules and mechanics, so the outcries of cheating and/or illegitimacy were in error, in my opinion. Yes in that an arrogant bastard had come in from relative regional obscurity, turned their community on end and started telling them how to live within their own region. I would have fought against that too most likely.<br />

===Gordonel Pleads Guilty: Guard Honors Stripped (Nov. 29, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/gordonel-pleads-guilty-t3063.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Gordonel (center) being lead to his court martial by Sedarva (right) and Desetland (left).''<br />
<br />
'''Superior Court, ''The'' Pacific:''' Standing alone and refusing council, Gordonel pleaded guilty to Title 4, section 402 of The Pacific Penal Code: Falsifying evidence or attempting to subvert the criminal justice system. He stated that he received a screenshot showing Pope Hope ordering 1838 to infiltrate the Pacific Army. However, the screen shot was later proved to be doctored. Gordonel refused to reveal his source, and thus, plead guilty.<br />
<br />
High Justice of the Pacific, Senator Pierconium, took recess over the weekend after the plea was issued. It was accepted on Monday, and the judge ruled that Gordonel would be stripped of his status in the Praetorian Guard. While the maximum penalty was life banishment from ''The'' Pacific, the high judge noted his service record, and instead removed him from the annuls of the Praetorian.<br />
<br />
Gordonel issued an apology to 1838 and the region for using false evidence, and while he feels not completely guilty, accepts that he has done a grave injustice to the region. This brings an end to this chapter in Pacific justice that attracted the attention of many international personalities. The High Queen of Pope Hope, not to be confused with the out of character person of [name withheld] publically commented that the court proceedings in ''The'' Pacific were done in a "professional manner." Senator of Administration Warrior Thorin stated that "''The'' Pacific takes its citizen's actions very seriously, and while we respect the rights of the accused, we also respect the rights of those wronged. Today, justice has been served."<br />

===TNP Take 4: Twoslit Ruins Everything (Nov. 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/tnp-take-4-t3025.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Hersfold’s vehicle is prepared to leave his home forum for greener pastures.''<br />
<br />
'''Magicality City, The North Pacific:''' It has been said that nothing is harder to understand than quantum theory. Fortunately for the layman, Richard Feynman created the Two Slits Experiment to help us understand wave/particle duality. One basic premise in quantum theory, is the uncertainty and absurdity of it all, best illustrated by Schrödinger’s Cat. Indeed, the Two Slits Experiment is a window into the madness that is randomness and chance. Pity, then, that the Twoslits Experiment is the root administrator of The North Pacific forums.<br />
<br />
That randomness and instability has come to a head (once again) and is at odds with the democratically elected government of The North Pacific. On the floor of the Regional Assembly, Hersfold, now former administrator of The North Pacific forums, filed a grievance against Twoslits unilateral actions, stating that he had put the security of the region in peril and he had subverted the will of the government. (emphasis added by PNN)<br />
<br />
You will notice that I no longer carry the five-star Admin badge I have had for the past few days. <snip>Recently, The twoslit experiment changed the way our government was organized. By placing Deputy Ministers in the Cabinet Minister's permission mask, he opened a wide hole in our region's security. Deputies suddenly had access to the secured Cabinet Forum, where issues critical to our region are discussed and voted on. Fedele, '''a known raider''', suddenly '''had access to the NPA forum''', an area to which '''he was expressly forbidden access by the MoIIA'''.<br />
<snip><br />
I requested that Twoslit stop changing member groups without discussing with the government first. In reply, I received a threatening message telling me to desist administrative activity, or risk demotion.<br />
<br />
Hersfold then went on to call for the relocation of the TNP home forum from the s2 to parts unknown.<br />
<br />
I have long been a supporter of this forum. This is not the first time Twoslit has angered the masses. But now... when the Head of this forum so boldly goes against our Government's wishes... when he so endangers the security and freedom we have fought for, long and hard... when he throws the operation of this region as a community into chaos... it is time to move on.<br />
<br />
The Cabinet Members I have spoken to agree with me on this. '''This forum can no longer be a home for our region.''' It is no longer safe, when we have a dictator more powerful than one in the Delegate seat. One who can destroy our community with a series of clicks.<br />
<br />
At the time of this writing, the call for moving the home forum has been met with total adulation. Many who voted to stay during last summer now support the move to a new forum. Government officials, citizens, and raiders have declared that a free north can not exist with the Two Slits Experiment as root admin. While many are sad to leave “Old Blue,” the largest forum in NS history, the general populace is accepting of the move and look forward to a fresh beginning in a new and glorious land. The North understands more than any of us the cost of freedom; They suffered under UPS Rail, under Great Blight, under Pixiedance, under Stars, until finally, they could choose their destiny. But now, they have found that their battle is only half over. While The North Pacific is their home, their off-site forum is their soul. It represents their memory, their hopes, their dreams, and desires. In order for The North be free in the future, they may have to abandoned their past.<br />

===ADN Spy Attempts Infiltration of TSP? (Dec. 1, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/adn-spy-attempts-to-infiltrate-tsp-t3067.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Mallancashire, above, attempts to win election as Sec. of Intel of The South Pacific''<br />
<br />
'''Chupa, The South Pacific''': The South Pacific has finished wrapping up its elections, but it was recently revealed that there was a sinister plot of an outside force to become a member of the Cabinet. The position in question was that of Secretary of Intel, which is the director of TSP Intel Agency. One week before the election, Miss Tessmacher, current Secretary of Intel, told PNN that they had received information that an Alliance operative would try and infiltrate the TSP cabinet for the purpose of withdrawing the South from the Pacific Cooperation Organization.<br />
<br />
TSP Sec. of Intel Miss Tessmacher wrote:<br />
Our source is of the highest calibre, and has been confirmed by two major NS personalities, who cannot be named. The ADN is trying to infiltrate our region.<br />
<br />
Events then unfolded that pointed the finger at UN nation and recent arrival “Mallancashire.”<br />
<br />
Suspicions arouse about Mallancashire after he lost the election and promptly left forum activity. A cursory search for the missing nation showed he turned up at The Grenvali United, an Alliance-member region. This lead to further investigation, which revealed Mallancashire uses a proxy server and has a dead e-mail address. Miss Tessmacher then told PNN that Mallancashire’s election bid came on the same day he registered on the forums, 9 days ago.<br />
<br />
PNN then contacted in character persona of the High Queen of Pope Hope, not to be confused with the out of character person of [name withheld] for comment:<br />
<br />
ADN Director Pope Hope wrote:<br />
… I can immediately offer my assurances that the ADN has no knowledge of any undercover operation in TSP. Furthermore, we have absolutely no interest in "spying" on TSP, a neutral region which in fact has long been friendly to many of our member regions and to the ADN itself. If a member of an ADN region has been engaging in nefarious activities towards any friendly and/or neutral region, I expect their regional leadership to deal with that individual appropriately."<br />
<br />
Regardless of who sent Mallancashire, there is little doubt that he was attempting to gain access to the South Pacific’s cabinet and intelligence records. Senator Unlimited of the Pacific stated that “the userites are crawling over themselves to prove the Francoists right. They use the democratic process to gain control of the feeders.” Indeed, registering and applying for office the same day usually raises red flags. The question, then, is Mallancashire a smart noob (proxy server/dead email) or a bad spy (no emoticons or posts).<br />
<br />
Grenval, founder of The Grenvali United (current home of Mallancashire), stated that if ADN operatives were spying on The South Pacific, they would have been much better than Mallancashire. Blackbird, Secretary of State for the Alliance, strongly denied any link between Mallancashire and the Alliance.<br />
<br />
ADN Sec. of State Blackbird wrote:<br />
I have no idea [why TSP thinks we were infiltrating them]. As Secretary of State, and as a Director on the Board of Directors of the Alliance Intelligence Agency, I can say in no uncertain terms that the ADN has nothing but goodwill towards the South Pacific. Respectfully, the ADN is entirely unconcerned with the PCO. We fight invaders. Anything anyone else does isn't something we concern ourselves with…However, The ADN is investigating this person from our end, to determine whether or not they are a spy, and if so, for whom.<br />
<br />
Rumors of this are already spreading across Nationstates. Grenval stated that Gates, founder of Gatesville, asked if his region was invading The South Pacific. Currently, PNN can verify that no ADN troops have overtly moved into the South Pacific. The one person who sparked this controversy, Mallancashire, could not be reached for comment by publication date.<br />
-----<br />
'''December 7, 2005 UPDATE'''<br />
<br />
PNN has been able to contact the leader of Mallancashire and asked him if he was an Alliance spy. His responce:<br />
<br />
Mallancashire wrote:<br />
HAHAHA! are you serious?. No i'm not i've just moved from the South pacific region and will be withdrawing from the running for the cabinet position, the parliament for Mallancashire has been on holiday during the celebration of our national day so no changes have been made to our political aspects during this time. Sorry i have no further comments to make.<br />

===RLA Destroys Invader's Board (Dec. 6, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/rla-destroys-invader-39-s-board-t3096.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
''<br />
The RLA boasts of its third invader board destroyed.''<br />
<br />
'''Boston Creamer, Invaders:''' On December 2, 2005, operatives of the Red Liberty Alliance were poised to complete the last steps of an infiltration operation: They had already taken copies of important correspondence, recovered the non-official cover list, had the dossier on every Invader agent, and had planted the nuclear bomb. The operatives used their clearance cards to leave the headquarters in a De Soto staff car, and made it past the boarder guard three hours before the explosion.<br />
<br />
With Intel in hand and another notch on their belts, the RLA issued a press release written by Ketoprofen and The Red Factions and edited by Blackbird, Director of the RLA. The [https://nationstatestpc.proboards.com/thread/1549/rlai-surgical-strike-carried-out article] boasted that “IP’s had been secured” and that “the boards had been taken over by defenders from the Red Liberty Alliance and the Alliance Defense Network.” Many found it curious that the RLA would conduct a joint operation with the ADN after the Alliance outed an RLA member who had ascended to the position of Field Marshal of a major invader army. Indeed, all Alliance members that PNN has contacted have expressed outrage over the operation and have denied any involvement. ADN Secretary of State Blackbird confirmed that “The ADN was not involved at all. The ADN and RLA have not conducted joint operations since the repeal of the Alliance between them.”<br />
<br />
Regardless, the destruction of the boards has not proven popular among the greater defender community. Biyah and Shasoria, who recently locked down the West Pacific’s home forums, are very vocal opponents against the move. Biyah stated that “The tactic is disgusting. As a defender, I am appalled. As a net-lurker who lives and breathes the net, had that been a forum under my control, I would have carted your rear to the FBI by now for hacking and destruction of property.” Shasoria echoed the statements:<br />
<br />
Shasoria wrote:<br />
I'm sorry, but this is just wrong.<br />
<snip><br />
What, do you want similar tactics to be used against us? This is the equivilent, imo, of using biological or chemical warfare. This is disgusting.<br />
<br />
Despicable. This goes too far. I for one cannot support the use of these tactics.<br />
<br />
The Red Factions (whom PNN will cautiously classify as some sort of Proletariat Coalition member without standing to speak for any region, person, or group) has stated that all actions taken were legal and within the bounds of the terms of service for Nationstates and Invisionfree. Here is the outline of the operation:<br />
<br />
The Red Factions @ The West Pacfic wrote:<br />
Just for the record, Invaders appointed one of our owns ( Ketoprofen ) to the position of Captain of War and board admin approximately 1.5 month ago. He managed to collect several IP's but the other admins were quick enough to halt the destruction. They were lucky. This time, the job was finished.<br />
<br />
The “trigger” for the “nuclear bomb” rested in the invasion of an RLA member region. The RLA asked that they stop their “gloating and provocations.” When they did not, the operatives decided to destroy the Invaders’ forums.<br />
<br />
As for the outrage in the defender community, The Red Factions and Ketoprofen insisted that their actions were just and “OKed” by leading defenders such as {{Strikethrough|Dilber and}} Blackbird. Sources inside the RLA, however, tell a different story. Apparently, The Red Factions presented a plan to Blackbird (director of RLA intelligence) and it was approved. However, the plan did not include the destruction of the Invader’s boards. In fact, the RLAI training manual explicitly forbids the destruction of message boards. To understand the scope of what was lost, Domination spoke about the loss:<br />
<br />
Domination wrote:<br />
We lost nearly 17,000 posts on our forums. Some wern't even considered useful for intel. Many accounts that wern't even active, but had a sense of history to them deleted, and never will be able to return. Many new players that are interested in the game that came to us migh not come back. Though that is all what the RLA wanted.<br />
<br />
The Heights went on about the loss of the forums:<br />
<br />
The Heights wrote:<br />
The military and intelligence information lost was limited and unimportant.<br />
<br />
What was truly lost was our community. The agents deleted our Discussion forum, containing threads of regional importance from the very beginning.

<br />
Director of RLA Intelligence, Blackbird, has condemned the actions and clearly stated that destroying a home forum is against the RLAI manual. Action has already been taken against The Red Factions. An investigation is being launched by the Executive Committee of the RLA with Lanier of the West Pacific as an outside observer.<br />
<br />
However, the Red Factions struck first, resigning every position he held in the game before legal action could be taken against him. He stated that he believes his actions were just, and asked for forgiveness. On the likelihood of being brought back into the fold, Blackbird stated, in an exclusive interview with PNN, that he “would be the last one to welcome him back home. This is one event in a long line of insubordination.”<br />
<br />
According to Blackbird, the Red Factions told him that an invader admin defected and was going to torch the forum, and TRF needed permission to harvest the IPs. Blackbird agreed, since he could not keep a rogue admin from destroying the place. However, when it became apparent that it was RLA agents who were pulling the strings, he immediately called for the operation to stop, but the operation continued.<br />
<br />
Boston Creamer, however, has a different take on the incident<br />
<br />
Boston Creamer wrote:<br />
The RLA is trying to save face by blaming TRF for everything. We know it's not all him. They are trying to escape everyone seeing them for who they really are and he's moving his nations to the RR now. No action can be taken without Blackbird's approval. Look at what they did to us in DEN and how they bragged so much. They tried to brag again but no one liked it so instead of getting promoted as he has in the past TRF has been forced out so they have one person to blame to save themselves from going down in flames! Don't let them fool the world! The RLA griefed you like they did us before you! >:-(<br />
<br />
Hopefully, there will be a way for the Invaders to recover some of their lost history, and hopefully, the investigation disclose exactly what happened and who is to blame for the destruction of this community.<br />

<br />
''TWP Attorney General Berhampore at a press conference outside the Court of The West Pacific''<br />
<br />
'''Administration Island, The West Pacific'': With the closing of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission due to legal issues (the committee's lack of power of pardon), the attorney general of the West Pacific, Berhampore, has brought charges against various members of “The Core,” a group of individuals who attempted to move the West Pacific forums and declare martial law. Those who have charges against them are as follows<br />
<br />
{{Underline|ZetaOne}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Biyah}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Chainik Hocker}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Halmont}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Looming Doom}}: Abuse of power, gross negligence, violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific and Treason.<br />
{{Underline|Gaspo}}: Violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific.<br />
{{Underline|Zorn-uzkul}}: Violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific.<br />
{{Underline|Minineenee}}: Violation of the Rights of the People of The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
As is the law of The West Pacific, a gag order has been placed on all prosecutors, defendants, lawyers, judges, bailiffs, and anyone connected with the trials, limiting comment that PNN has access to.<br />
<br />
However, the charges did spark cries of constitutionality and injustice by ZetaOne and Biyah. ZetaOne, along with Minineenee, Zorn Uzkul, and Gaspo, have fled the West Pacific before charges were filed, and are inquiring how charges can be brought against them when they no longer reside in the West.<br />
<br />
There is also the question of the three members of the Core who were not charged, namely, Dilber, Shasoria, and TAO, all cabinet-level members of the West Pacific Government. When asked why the Attorney General was not charging these members, Berhampore stated that<br />
<br />
Berhampore @ Courthouse wrote:<br />
While Dilber and other nations did participate in the Think Tank that produced the Dominion, that is not a crime. No one will be charged for expressing their thoughts or for their associations (i.e. membership in a particular forum).<br />
<br />
Other nations did indeed express the desire to join the Dominion after the Announcement that dissolved the legal government. While questionable logically and morally, questionable logic and morality is not a crime in and of itself.<br />
<br />
The charges apply to active violations as filed. Ideas are not crimes, actions are.<br />
<br />
In retaliation, Biyah has brought forth charges against Berhampore and Dilber<br />
<br />
Biyah @ Courthouse wrote:<br />
I hereby bring charges against Berhampore and Dilber for abuse of power, harassment and continuing their jobs under an obvious conflict of interest.<br />
<br />
Dilber's job is to direct Berhampore in who to press charges on in the name of TWP, yet he is a member of the Former Core and one of three FC members not indicted.<br />
<br />
That only segments of the Core were indicted suggests harassment, false-immunity on the part of the Cabinet Members. This same action also suggests an abuse of power, using their positions to protect the Cabinet while the rest of the Core is put on trial.<br />
<br />
Berhampore has recused himself, and Assistant Attorney General Lanier will be conducting the investigation.<br />
<br />
Ringmaster of this event is Hipposhire, Chief Justice of the West Pacific. While it appears that the Justice is being objective, fair, and holding to the letter of the law, even his objectivity has been called into question, as he was, according to Biyah “a member of the resistance against the Core.” If all people who were either for or against the Core had to recuse themselves, it begs the question who would be left to conduct a trial? Indeed, many regions in the game expressed a preference for one type of government or another, so a motion for a change of venue would leave many wondering where a neutral third party with knowledge of the West Pacific’s legal system could be found. In all probablility, the West will keep this in house, and PNN will be there to record the sound and fury of Nationstates trial de jour.<br />

===Kaseland expelled from the Order of Gryphons! (Dec. 22, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/kaselande-expelled-from-the-order-of-gryphons-t3202.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By The New Duce<br />
<br />
''Biyah (center) the arbiter of justice, moral leader and knight-commander of the Gryphons, just after expelling Kaselande (rear left).''<br />
<br />
South Pacific Chapter, Order of Gryphons:<br />
<br />
“For actions unbecoming a Gryphon, I hereby strip Kaselande of Title and position.<br />
<br />
Kaselande was discovered as a spy in Nasicournia for the PRP and TSP, and was also accused of unmeritious actions within TWP.<br />
<br />
That is all<br />
~B”<br />
<br />
And so, it has ended. The former chapter master from the South Pacific, Kaselande, the one member of this chapter that strived to increase membership of that region in the order, has been expelled by Viceroy Biyah. Biyah used his power as acting Knight-Commander to unilaterally expel Kaselande, citing Kaselande’s operation in Nasicournia as a motive for expulsion (PNN is obliged to point out the error in Biyah’s accusation, as The South Pacific was never involved in this assignment). It is also to be noted that Biyah admitted to spying in the past.<br />
<br />
Some members of the Order of Gryphons were not so happy with the decision. Freedom and Pride questioned his removal without trial and posted a defense on Kaselande’s behest. The former member disavowed the seemingly weak charges laid before him by the Viceroy, which basically surmounted to “being exceptionally rude” and “making an ass out of himself”. PNN contacted TAO, Prime Minister of the West Pacific, who denied that the region seeks to pursue legal actions against Kaselande.<br />
<br />
The issue between Biyah and Kaselande is between Biyah and Kaselande. As it regards TWP, the issue is an extra-regional affair and has no merit in TWP.<br />
<br />
Ivanhoe, another Gryphon, accused Biyah of attempting to hand over the keys of the organization to the ADN. These rumours were denied by the acting Knight-Commander, who proceeded to reassert his authority, having been challenged by a Knight who declared him a “self-appointed leader”. The echoes of the West Pacific Dominion incident have also reached the Order of Gryphons, as knight Thorncraftland reminded Biyah of Kaselande’s support of his actions in the Core.<br />
<br />
The Order of Gryphons is a decaying organization, whose shrinking membership has been plunged into inactivity. Viceroy Biyah himself declared the organization in a state of emergency not so long ago. After this occurrence, it is most likely that the South Pacific chapter of this order will be closed.<br />
<br />
Expelling active members (on this case a former High Council member) is, perhaps, not the best way to boost activity once again, especially when it seems this action was motivated by allegiances that lie beyond the Order.<br />

===Francoism in Action (Nov. 3, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/francoism-in-action-t2857.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
'''The West Pacific - November 3, 2005'''<br />
<br />
''Many people think that Francoism is a form of government, which it is not. Francoism is a tool of analysis used to explain why things happen the way they do. It is a model that shows the course of NS feeder governments, and it explains the conflict that occurs in the feeder regions. This article will apply the Francoism model to the situation in the West Pacific so that the readers may better understand Francoism, what happened in the West, and how to prevent instability and strife.''<br />
<br />
'''Background:''' On November 3, 2005, a faction of government of the West Pacific declared that the constitution was dissolved, and that martial law would be in effect. The region would be run by “the core” until a democratic constitutional convention could be held. In the interim, the s8 forums, home to the West, were shut down and all government activity was moved to the s14 forums, home of the West Pacific Dominion. Dilber (Former Prime Minister), Berphamore (former Delegate) and Eli aka Wickedly Evil People (Current Regent), asked the world to help out the Dominion from power and called for a return to constitutional rule. The Alliance Defense Network, Nasicouria, and the Allied States of EuroIslanders were the only regions to have established embassies on s14, and all were calling for peace and good relations with the Dominion. After intense debate on the ASE forums, the ASE retracted their support of the Dominion, and stated that they would fight to re-instate the Constitutionalists. The RLA also threw their support behind Dilber, Berphamore, and Eli. ADN director Pope Hope stated that the Alliance would protect the West from any foreign troops, implying she would back the Dominion should RLA or Pacific forces support Eli.<br />
<br />
Lanier, retired West Pacific hero and r00t of s8, was contacted and he restored the s8 forums from lockdown. The human outcry and political pressure from outside the region and inside lead the Dominion to dissolve. Biyah, Prime Minister, left for Nasicouria. ZetaOne, Former Delegate, retired. Minineenee, current delegate, resigned from the UN. At the time of this writing, the ranking cabinet member is Dilber (Secretary of Defense) and he will most likely head the government until elections can be called to replace the cabinet.<br />
<br />
'''The Failure of Democracy:''' When James Madison wrote the Constitution of the United States of America, he did so with the knowledge that every other democracy had failed, and tyranny rose up. He made the executive so weak that General Washington had to get senate approval to use his chamber pot.<br />
<br />
My, how times have changed. Now American presidents can conduct wars if they call it a “Police Action,” (or don’t tell anyone they’re doing it). Thomas Jefferson himself noted that the tree of liberty would have to be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots. Democracies are a cycle of boom and bust, freedom and tyranny, chaos and stagnation.<br />
<br />
It was stagnation that created the think-tank. Several high ranking members of the West Pacific government congregated to discuss the lack of activity in the region. Some called for a change of government using mechanisms provided by the constitution, while others called for a change from outside of the constitution. However, more people felt that the problem with the West was the constitution itself. In researching the “why,” I found the following quote from the last leader of The Core: (Source)<br />
<br />
Shasoria @ s8 Forum wrote:<br />
The Constitution was an incredible document, touting years of work by some of the most talented of people. Yet we were becoming trapped in our own constitution, if you would. Much of it had been perfected to the point where we would make enourmous issues out of small things that no one would mention again once an amendment made it to the table. Our evolution had stopped short of what we truly aspired it to be.<br />
<br />
As with any feeder region in NS that has a constitution, the leaders could sense that something was wrong. The region could not change to meet the needs of the citizenry because the ruling cadre was bound by a dead document. Democracies focus on the ''procedures'' of government rather than the ''outcomes'' of governments. To many democrats, democracy is an end. The West had its democracy, but the products of their government were diminishing. As more procedures and protocols were added to the government, many felt burdened by them. It was more important to get the necessary votes and legislation than to actually do something. This is why “the Core” moved to the new forums. They kept calling for a clean slate. Very few new nations could walk into the West and figure out the labyrinth of government and process that had been created. This was the seed of thought that lead to the core and the dissolution of the constitution: The West had become clogged with bureaucracy, and a new government free of the stifling procedure was needed.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the process to change the government was ALSO choked with bureaucracy. While ''The'' Pacific changes yearly to ensure that the Republic is properly serving the residents of ''The'' Pacific, The West had not had a spring cleaning since the second constitutional convention. The only way to “save” the West from the bureaucrats was to erase it all in one fell swoop. No vote. No legislation. No debate. No procedure. No protocol. Just action.<br />
<br />
'''The Userite Influence and the Corruption of the Intent'''<br />
<br />
So, in the eyes of the leaders, the West was stagnating due to the constitution and layers of bureaucracy those years of democracy had piled on (which is the eventual fate of all feeder democracies according to Francoism). So, to create a new government, the leaders would consolidate power among a core cadre that would protect the region as it shifted from its current form to its new form: A tabla rasa free from bureaucracy. However, for this step to succeed, the ruling cadre must ''put the region first''. If the ruling cadre acts for the Userites or themselves, the ruling cadre will cease to be Feederites, and become Userites. This will create conflict with the feederite class, and lead to the downfall of the ruling cadre.<br />
<br />
The Core, however, did not put the region first. According to Francoism, the Userites only see the feeder regions as a resource. To them, ''Feederites are human charcoal to fuel the furnaces of their industry.'' For all of their talk and treaties, the Userites care not of democracy, but of power. Thus, when the Feederites of the West Pacific looked to the Dominion boards, they saw three embassies: The Alliance Defense Network, Nasicouria, and the Allied States of EuroIslanders. These Userite regions had been Allies of the West. They had promised to uphold and defend the West against those who would overthrow the constitution. When the constitution was overthrown and the Feederites looked to their allies to save them, they could not believe their eyes. The Director of the ADN, Pope Hope, a woman who swore to uphold and protect democracy, was siding with the Core. EuroSoviets was hoping for good relations between the ASE and the Dominion. It was then when this truth of Francoism was revealed to the West: The Userites care nothing of the governments of the Feeders, so long as they can continue to exploit the Feeders for their own purposes.<br />
<br />
The ADN fought ALSO when the North’s government was overthrown, but did not fight the Dominion when the West’s government was overthrown? The difference: The North left the ADN, while the West’s first act was to state their membership and eternal friendship with the Alliance. At that point, in the eyes of the masses, they quit being Pacificans, and started being Userites. Conflict between the Core and the region was inevitable.<br />
<br />
'''How the Userites Picked Sides:''' The Francoism model suggests that Userites are in competition with one another over the resources of the feeders. ES’s early attempts at garnering influence in the Dominion quickly failed, and thus, the region realized that if the ADN were to gain complete control of the West, it would place them at a disadvantage for resources. This is why (after a tearful plea from Berphamore and Dilber) the ASE and RLA vowed to take up arms against the Dominion: They would rather have an independent West than an ADN-occupied West.<br />
<br />
After the Dominion folded and power returned to the constitutional government, Dilber requested all foreign troops and UN nations to endorse the Regent (which, interestingly enough, the Dominion called for as well just before folding). After the ADN realized they had lost their Userite influence, they imediantely began to backpeddle, sending in troops ''after the war was over''. The Alliance then stated how it was difficult to choose a side (the constitutionalists, or the Dominion offering the region on a platter) and expressed how they came to the aid of the region after this “internal matter” had been settled. The Alliance, though they lost complete control of the region, worked to ensure that the constitutionalist would still export their industry, culture, and resources to the Alliance.<br />
<br />
'''How Userites Took Control of the West’s Democracy:''' A question, however, is “were the members of the Core always Userites?” For this, we must consider that the second failing of democracy, besides stagnation, is that it rewards Userites, and places them in control of the feeders. Elections inherently are about self: Vote for ''ME'', I can lead you. Thus, the Userites who wish to have the power and the glory of a feeder region under their control are drawn to these elections. It is difficult for a Francoist or a true Feederite to win an election, because instead of marketing themselves and handing out teddy bear hugs, they are working hard for the betterment of the region.<br />
<br />
Outside influences are also rampant in democracy. Userites see democracy as the easiest method of control. Powerful interest groups will aid candidates that support their Userite interest, in exchange for exporting the products of the feeder. Userites will apply for citizenship, and stack voter rolls in their favor. Userites will endorse candidates and governments if they promise to continue the exportation of resources (see TWP: The Dominion). In extreme cases, Userites will move UN nations into a region for “security,” “police actions,” or “to level the playing field.” (See TWP: Berphamore v. Norion / ADN). This is why some elected members of the West Pacific Government seized power. They were Userites who rose through the democracy and were exporting the production of the West Pacific to the ADN. Since the democracy was slowing down production, they needed a new form of government to increase productivity and the amount of resources they could export to their Userite masters. The true feederites in the region rebelled against their Userite masters, and through feeder solidarity, were able to retake control of the region.<br />
<br />
'''The Support of our Fellow Feederites:''' With these events unfolding and the threat of purges to occur, the feederites rallied together to help drive the userites from power. The Pacific News Network was the first to break the story to the world, and was the first to point out that the Core was a Userite coalition. While there is a list of conduct that makes a person a Francoist, the first and foremost definition is ''one who places their Pacific above themselves and others''. Many government officials were invited to the core, but rejected becoming a Userite. Eli, Moo-cows with Guns, Berphamore, and Dilber all inspired the Feederites. They showed the world that they would not bow to the Userites, and would keep the West Pacific in the hands of the Feederites. This helped to create solidarity between the West and the other Pacifics, who, in the spirit of Pacific brotherhood, brought pressure to the Core and the Userites, which eventually lead to its downfall. Currently, the constitution is restored, and the feederite cabinet members and assembly will pick up the pieces of their region.<br />
<br />
'''Lessons for the TWP Government''': Francoism teaches us that Feeder regions must be focused on the ends, and Democracy is not an ends. An ends is an active region that produces industry, culture, and thought. What happened is that the government felt that the process of the region was destroying the production of the region. The failings were that the Dominion chose to give the ''production'' of the region to the Userites: Namely, themselves (the “chosen”) and the ADN.<br />
<br />
Now, contrary to popular belief, Francoism does not call for an end to democracy. Again, it is a model for which to view the world. Francoism, however, wants the Feederites to recognize the ''failings'' of democracy. Democracy makes the region’s ''process'' more important than the products, which destroys production. The ruling cadre will then try and free the region of the bureaucracy, and replace it with an outcome oriented government. However, if the ruling cadre attempts to sell the products of the region to Userites, or tries to horde the products for themselves, the ruling cadre then, by definition, becomes Userites. Feederites and Userites are in conflict, and the Feederites will rise up and oust the Userites.<br />
<br />
To prevent this cycle of exploitation and conflict, I make the following recommendations to the West, that they may end their conflicts.<br />
<br />
'''1) Have an outcome-orientated government''': Focus your resources not on the process, but on the product. Create cadres where like-minded citizens of similar skills work to improve the industry, thought, and culture of the region.<br />
<br />
'''2) Place the region above all else''': The top priority for every West Pacifican should be the region. Not external alliances, not themselves, but the region. Greatness comes from the collective, not the individual, and when every achievement is shared by all, all will strive for achievement.<br />
<br />
'''3) Keep feeder resources in the feeders''': Do not share your resources with the Userites, who view you only as a tool for imperialism. Use your industry to support your own people. Let the West shine brightly as a beacon of industry, thought, and culture. When you realize the surplus you have when you do not export your resources, you will see truly how active your region is.<br />
<br />
'''4) Recognize the failings of democracy, and account for them''': Democracies strive to slow the production of your region by focusing on the process. Like a computer surfing the internet, it will become gunked with cookies and spyware until it crawls like a Commodore 64. You need to reformat your hard drive every now and then to keep it up to speed. Have mechanisms that allow for your government to meet the changing needs of your region. The Pacific is not governed by an unchangeable constitution, but by a simple bill and a simple ideal. Have a mandatory constitutional convention every year. Write sunset clauses in your legislation. Do not allow the process get in the way of your progress.<br />
<br />
Also, remember that democracy will always leave yourself open to Userite subversion. Do not vote for the candidate who promises to export your labor and resources. Do not vote for the candidate with the best marketing who gives out bear hugs. Support those that put the West Pacific first, and support those who are best at their job. Reward the most productive among you with places where their imbune others with their work ethic. Remember, when you are able to keep the riches that are currently being exported, you will see truely how active and productive the West Pacific is.<br />

<br />
''State Funeral of Francos Spain, laid to rest under Franco Square in Capital City''<br />
<br />
Francos Spain, The Rejected Realms: With friends and foes standing by his side, The Stabilizing Force of Francos Spain slipped into oblivion. Some have called him a saint, and some have called him Beelzebub, but regardless of stance, all agree that he has been the most influential person in Nationstates. Because of Francos Spain, defender groups (ADN) formed, armies were raised, game rules shifted, and the balance of power was thrown completely off-kilter. It is amazing what one man can accomplish in such a short period of time.<br />
<br />
On August 28, 2003, an unknown nation took the delegacy of the Pacific, and on September 1st, he founded a government so influential, that every politician in Nationstates had to take some position on it, The New Pacific Order. The NPO was a change from the old Pacific regime of TheDoc, which was marked with frequent bouts of inactivity from the delegate. Franco was an active delegate, as his mass bannings caused the Moderators to put a cap on the banishment list. Even this reporter had the honor of being sent to the rejected realms by El Claudio.<br />
<br />
The government appeared to be totalitarian, with its civil code and frequent banishments, but in general, the code was only selectively enforced against dissidents and spies, which appeared frequently in the government. After the 3rd invasion, spies were so common that it is estimated that ½ of all governors had ties to belligerent organizations. They were never ejected because they tended to work harder for the regime to keep their cover than the natives did.<br />
<br />
Franco left the game at the height of NPO influence. The Union of Sovereigns had been signed, the ALSO government of The North Pacific had deposed of their main enemy, and he himself was leading the Pacific Militia into the North to support the embattled ALSO government and delegate Great Blight. Unfortunately, a real life tragedy occurred and Franco’s ability to log on was permanently lost. His last known words in NationsStates was to RedCommunist:“All right. Talk with you later.”<br />
<br />
As such, the ALSO government fell, and Franco was ejected to the Rejected Realms. Many players pleaded with moderators to move him back to the Pacific for a proper farewell, but they refused to grant such a request for such an exceptional player. The NPO is renowned for having moderators rule against them, and it seems fitting to be ruled against one last time.<br />
<br />
Several people have their own thoughts on his passing, from belligerent to respectful. Here are some quotes from various members of the Nationstates Community:<br />
-----<br />
Thel D’ran:If just 1% of what was said about Francos was true, then here's what I know about him:<br />
<br />
Francos Spain was a remarkably intelligent and dedicated man. He possessed the courage and strength of character to define an approach to our common activity and, further, to serve as a leader with few equals. His talents for organization and communication were worthy of note — as was the genuine spirit of compassion he demonstrated to those who bothered to take time to know and communicate with him. Lastly, though somewhat private, he was certainly a man who felt and thought deeply. In short, he kicked ass — thoroughly and often.<br />
-----<br />
Ceasar: As a Delegate he was mediocre at best<br />
-----<br />
Twoslits Experiment: I bear him ill will in real life.<br />
<br />
His behavior toward human beings is cruel.<br />
<br />
I may be many things to cruel selfish people, but tolerant is not one of them.<br />
-----<br />
Winnipeg: Fairwell Francos Spain, while many of us Disagreed with your RP Character, and your Policies, we can all Agree that you helped make the game more enjoyable and gave many something to work towards. Tonight I hold a Cold one High in your Honour and Hope that no matter where you are, on this Earth or the Next, that you're happy and remember the fun that you've had.<br />
<br />
VALERE IUBERE<br />
<br />
All Flags of the People's Republics will be lowered to Half Mast for the day with the Passing of one of the most influential nations on the face of NationStates.<br />
-----<br />
LadyRebels: The Flags of LadyRebels will fly at half mast for a week of mourning, to show the respect that Francos Spain held, as a player of a game.<br />
<br />
Those that got to know him, I salute you. Know that there are those of us out there that wished to have gotten to know him better.<br />
<br />
*places three roses on the memorial of Francos Spain, one a full bloom White Rose, to express the purity of thoughts to him and his family. One a full bloom Red Rose to show the love that many held for him and will so until their memories are taken from them. One a Deep Royal Purple, the respect of one National Leader to another.*<br />
<br />
May you have a strong wind at your back and following seas on your Journey, know that you will be missed. Take care friend, and go with peace.<br />
<br />
*Seven Cannons fire off three shots into the night sky over LR*<br />
-----<br />
KingmanReef: ...Nothing less than legendary.<br />
-----<br />
Unfree People: No hailing here either, but I will join you in saluting his memory. Words can't really express my feelings... I miss the guy.<br />
-----<br />
Mammothstan: The light of our world has gone out. We have lost the Great Pacifican.<br />
-----<br />
BlackAdder: His colours are home. God rest you Francos.<br />
-----<br />
Sir Paul: May the road rise with you!<br />
May the wind be at your back!<br />
May the sun be on your face!<br />
May the rain fall soft upon your fields!<br />
And, until we meet again,<br />
May the good Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.<br />

===ADN Reorganizes, Pope Hope Declares Martial Law (Sept. 19, 2024)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/adn-reorganizes-t184.html</ref>===<br />
<br />

<br />
''An ADN Soldier takes a reprieve from enforcing Article 2, Section 5''<br />
<br />
Pope Hope, Alliance Defense Network: Beleaguered by spies and inactivity, the ADN will be leaving it’s old forums and getting a fresh, new look. Currently, the constitution is suspended, and the stagnant and inactive legislature has been swept away. In its place, Pope Hope will be given executive authority over all ADN dealings and each region will be given one representative. It appears that the much hated constitution is being revamped in a convention headed by these representatives. Despite being able to invade and defend at a moments notice, the bureaucracy of the old constitution proved so ineffective that holding an election to replace the Vice President took more than one month.<br />
<br />
The following is the Press Release issued by Pope Hope:<br />
<br />
Martial Law has been institituted as a temporary measure to help us get back on our feet after the transtition to the new forum. This is all am excellent chance to demonstrate that we can and will change the structure of our organization if needs be. And it is very needed at this point in time.Ladies and Gentleman of the Alliance Defense Network, this announcement does not come easily to me. It does, however, mark the beginning of a new hope for the ADN.<br />
<br />
For the last couple of months, my PM inbox has been barraged with complaints. Threats to leave if certain conditions are not met have been made by more than one region. The House and the Senate stagnate through inactivity and/or bickering. Political concerns and ambitions have taken priority rather than our mission of Defender Unity and Defending.<br />
<br />
We have lost a President, Vice President, and Co-Director of Intelligence, all in one month. We have lost regions over our differences.<br />
<br />
I have heard and heeded the call of many to change the way things are run around here. Representatives from nearly every region have approached me either privately or through posts in the Government Halls of this organization to take control and re-organize the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
I hereby invoke the power given to me by our Founding Members and Article 2, Section 5 of the Constitution we adopted with good intention many months ago. From this point forward, the ADN is in a state of Martial Law.<br />
<br />
The following is going to happen:<br />
<br />
--Members of the Alliance Defense Network will move to a new forum which has been constructed for the purpose of a new start.<br />
--Once registered, each member will read the whole of the Introductions forum, and follow the validation instructions within. No exceptions. You must read and follow the directions specifically in order to get validated.<br />
<br />
--If your name is on the following list, you are to be appointed temporary Council Rep from your region. These Council Reps must report to The Government Hall for final discussions and revision on the new Charter.<br />

<br />
This is it, folks. Our chance to turn things around and make it right again. We made our run at constitutional beauracracy, now it's time to shift our focus back to our original intent. We need to bring the ADN back to the roots of defending. We need to protect our regional sovereignty. We need to avoid fighting and debating over things that are inconsequential and tie our hands from our real focus here.<br />
<br />
Though our politics remain active, our military activities have declined. If you watch the RAS, you'll see the same people moving on defense missions every night while politics distract many from defending. This is not a desirable balance of attention.<br />
<br />
The ADN is not about fancy titles, or selling yourself during an election time. That has really started to bother me about this organization. I never came here expecting to be praised for my position in the ADN, as some people now seem to. I came here and worked hard, and ended up doing a lot for the ADN in the process. I can say the same about many of you. Some, however, talk much and do little. We are all here to DEFEND, a very honorable cause. It is not about ourselves, it is about protecting our regions, and about protecting the would-be victims of invasions. Many people here seem to have forgotten that.<br />
<br />
This is also a chance to air your grievances. If you are not a Council Rep, feel free to start discussions about your own concerns in the CoffeeHouse. I know you have concerns about one another, I hear it all the time. We are all friends here, please demonstrate this. If you have an issue with your ally, raise it now. There is no better time. Remain respectful, but air out your concerns now.<br />
<br />
This is a day which holds much hope for us, the brothers and sisters of the Alliance Defense Network. For over a year we have grown to know one another as more than colleagues, but as friends. We must save ourselves from imploding by taking action while we still can.<br />
<br />
Martial Law begins now.<br />
<br />
Your Loyal and Hopeful Director,<br />
<br />
High Queen Pope Hope IV<br />
<br />
Please keep this quiet and the new URL to yourself for now. It will of course be public, but we want only members to register during the transition, to keep up with masking.<br />

===UN Filing Error Afflicts Nationstates (Sept. 27, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/un-filing-error-afflicts-nationstates-t259.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Turmoil in the streets as governments fall into anarchy''<br />
<br />
UN Office, Nationstates: Due to a clerical error, democracy over the world has been thwarted. One-half of all UN nations had their voting status revoked, and many stable governments and longstanding delegates had their delegacies removed from them. Moderator Salusa Secondus had this to say<br />
<br />
Yes, we know that nations are losing delegacies all across the world.<br />
Yes, we know the cause of the problem and have a solution in place.<br />
Yes, the nation's that have lost the delegacy REALLY HAVE lost the delegacy, and all game play may proceed as if they had lost it normally.<br />
Yes, the secretary who seems to have forgotten that we have 2 filing cabinets of UN nations, not 1 will be fired. Unfortunately, due to her contract, we must allow her to finish her current job of updating all UN records. As soon as she finishes, she'll be fired and we'll have a more senior official go through both filing cabinets and (hopefully) fix everything. This will result in doubled issues and other effects, though I doubt that anyone will mind.<br />
<br />
Due to the glitch, the following feeder regions lost their delegacy:<br />
<br />
The South Pacific: The Shaft<br />
The West Pacific: Berhampore<br />
The North Pacific: Sydia<br />
The Rejected Realms: Kandarin<br />
<br />
As such, the YoungWorld’s attack on the Rejected Realm was successful for one day, but without the power to eject, Kandarin was able to reclaim his throne as Lord of the Underworld. In the West Pacific, an agent of TWP was able to take the throne, and returned it to Berhampore. In the East Pacific and South Pacifics, the ‘successors’ did not eject the former delegates, and as such, all were reinstated. Unfortunately, the usurped delegates will now have a counter next to their names.<br />
<br />
Even delegates who kept their thrones had trouble. Sydia and Unlimited, delegates of the North Pacific and The Pacific, respectively, both lost significant amounts of endorsements (about 200 each). As such, the North Pacific Army was recalled to endorse Sydia and The Pacific exercised the Union of Sovereigns Alliance and SECO and Red Army forces moved into the Pacific to endorse Unlimited.<br />
<br />
Things are now starting to get back to normal, but things have occured which can not be undone in the great glitch of 9/26/04.<br />

===Sarda & Ministry of Culture begin Casting! (Oct. 2, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sarda-ministry-of-culture-begin-casting-t291.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By {{NSp|Sarda}}<br />
<br />
''Salusa Primus, Sarda'' - Here in rainy central Sarda, casting has just begun on "The Pacific Revolution," the epic history of Francos and the new People's Republic.<br />
<br />
The role of Sarda is already filled by universally adored Scottish actor Rufus Sewell, and numberous others have come forward.<br />
<br />
Warrior Thorin was heard to say of the new film project that it is: "A great project in a great time. As the Pacific marches towards future greatness, our own fellows must remember the dedication and courage of those that bore the yolk of responsibility for the first Pacific Revolution."<br />
<br />
Steven "Plot-Stealer" Spielberg has also specially requested that others come forward with any extrenuous historical details, and their desire to join the new production.<br />

===New Governors Take Office (Oct. 1, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/new-governors-take-office-t284.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By {{NSp|Warrior Thorin}}<br />
<br />
''(From Left to Right) Sarda, Senator Warrior Thorin, Desetland and Galasia on election day.''<br />
<br />
'''The Ministry of the Interior, Franco City, The Pacific.''' The first governors of the Pacific assumed office today after several weeks of arduous transition. Taking the helms of the two provinces are Governor Sarda (Province T-Z, named Tantus Pacificus) and Governor Desetland (Province D-G). Both governors have had experience running provinces before in the NPO, but what is unique is that they are the first elected officials of the Pacific under the PRP. Desetland commented that "I will do my best to serve my province well." The sentiments were also echoed by Sarda, who immediately decided to enact a competition to see which province could create the wildest dance in honor of Comrade Poskrebyshev. Those results shall be quite interesting!<br />
<br />
Province D-G not only has its first Governor, but it is filling other offices rapidly. Galaisa has been appointed the Vice-Governor of the region, and has certainly taken the PRP by storm with some dazzling work with posters (for example, look at the picture of the forum page!). To learn more about Province D-G, you can go to this thread.<br />
<br />
Province T-Z is now officially known as Tantus Pacificus. It is the largest province of the Pacific. Governor Sarda has appointed Chosen Men to be the Deputy Governor of the Province. CM is well-known for his undying support to Francos Spain and the other elders of the Revolution, as well as his PSAs which are broadcast in the Pacific Civil HQ. To learn more about this great province, you can visit them here.<br />
<br />
MistStlkr recently won the election for Province M-P and we await great things as he transitions the province under his governorship. MistStlkr's current vision of the direction of the province is seen with this statement how how he plans to name it: "I would like to suggest Magnus until after the first "membership drive" at which point I plan to take suggestions from province residents and put it to a vote." To watch and see how this province shapes itself, you visit the province at this thread.<br />
<br />
These are exciting times in the Pacific! And the interest continues to mount as yet another gubernatorial race is on for Province H-L, the candidates being HL Dafidius and The New Duce. You can watch the action at the polls by visiting this thread.<br />
<br />
After the elections are over in Province H-L, it appears that two provinces will be left. Who will step up and take charge of those provinces? Who thinks they can convince the citizens of the Pacific that they can lead them? If it is you, then visit the Ministry of the Interior and apply today.<br />

===Ukraine/USSR Calls For Help<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/ukraine-ussr-calls-for-help-t408.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''Crazy Girl attempting to control the world again''<br />
<br />
Ukraine, USSR territories: Today, in joint session, the USSR premier Redcommunist asked the US Alliance to send troops into “Ukraine” and to endorse “Dah Homestarmy.” The Region was attacked by operatives of GLA and TITO. Having greifed the region, the moderators promptly deleted the invaders, and now, Union troops have been called in to restore order to the region.<br />
<br />
Currently, Crazy Girl, (under the name “Zandra”) has been vying for the delegacy. All able bodied UN nations are called upon to move into “Ukraine” and endorse “Dah Homestarmy” to protect it from falling into the hands of the evil doers. Unlimited noted that “the USSR has been at our side during many invasions, it is time to return the favor.”<br />
<br />
Protect the Ukraine! Protect the Union! Endorse “Dah Homestarmy” in “Ukraine.”<br />
<br />
===ADN Gets New Charter (Oct. 18, 2004)===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul<br />
<br />
''The new charter of the Alliance Defense Network''<br />
<br />
ADN inner sanctum: The people of the world rejoice as the ADN shows off their newly adopted charter. The ADN has long been suffering from bureaucracy, intelligence failures, ridiculously long terms of office, and democracy in general. The new charter addresses all of these concerns and looks to put the ADN back on the map as the premiere defender organization.<br />
<br />
One of the most notable changes in the charter is eliminating many of the executive offices. Now, there is but one executive who will be held accountable for the direction of the organization. Many people complained bitterly about the one year terms of office and how this led to a lack of accountability, so the new office is elected for life. This way, the ADN won’t be bogged down by a constant election cycle and can focus not on politics but on defending. The director will have veto power over the ADN representatives, select a cabinet, any advisors, and essentially run the ADN however she sees fit. The director also has the power and duty to investigate any wrongdoings or complaints. If, for instance, there is a complaint that the director-for-life is becoming abusive, the director would launch an investigation on herself, hand select the tribunal, and have a trial regarding her wrongdoings.<br />
<br />
The ADN also does not have the power to dictate what its sovereign regions may or may not do, so if a region, say, Alcatraz, uses the ADN boards to organize an invasion using a top ADN official, then it is clearly NOT an ADN action. Clearly, this organization is highly evolved in political structure and diplomatic acumen.<br />
<br />
The ADN also does not declare war. However, it does have the power to have declared enemies. Examples of some enemies of the ADN are the PRP and the USSR. You are also made an enemy if you get out of the Alliance or refuse of give aid to your fellow ADNer when called upon to do so.<br />
<br />
There are also crimes in this new government that applies to members of the ADN. These are…<br />
<br />
''Treason against the ADN or its members. Treason is defined as attempting to overthrow the government of an alliance member region to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the region into the hands of a foreign power &#124;&#124;or attempting to overthrow the government to which one owes allegiance, either by making war or by materially supporting its enemies.<br />
<br />
Espionage against the ADN or its member regions. Espionage is defined as the practice of using spies, or other means, to collect information about what the ADN or its members are doing or plan to do.<br />
<br />
Aggression against fellow ADN members or allies. Aggression is defined as the act of initiating invasion or hostilities, which may include propaganda and fifth column activities.<br />
<br />
Invading regions for the purposes of conquest. Conquest is defined as the occupation of a region with the intention of extending its sovereignty over that region.<br />
<br />
Conduct detrimental to the proper functioning of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Allying or supporting Enemies of the ADN.<br />
<br />
Posting any sensitive information from the ADN forum elsewhere, excepting orders for the movement of troops via methods of communication secure and safe on regional forums, necessary for defensive missions.''<br />
<br />
Therefore, giving the ADN bad press is enough to make you an enemy, as well as invading regions where the natives are currently happy in their situation. Thus, actions like invading Ukraine and putting an ADN puppet in the delegates chair would be considered illegal by this new charter.<br />
<br />
All of Nationstates is excited and ready to experience a new style of defenderism under Pope Hopes lifelong reign.<br />
<br />
===Pope Hope Sues Sir Paul for Defamation (Oct. 21, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pope-hope-sues-sir-paul-for-defamation-t425.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Sir Paul taking flak from viewers regarding the Pope Hope Scandal''<br />
<br />
World Court, The Hague: With much fanfare, Pope Hope filed suit against Sir Paul in the world court today in response to Sir Paul’s actions with her IRL image. Pope Hope stated that “…I'm sure members from both sides make their in-game comparisons and jabs as is expected I suppose. The difference between us and what you did with my RL picture is that you crossed the OOC line into personal insult on many occasions, and we do not allow that.” Pope Hope noted that she now has zero-tolerance for any more IRL character slams and will report any more line-crossing to the authorities.<br />
<br />
Sir Paul came out of the courtroom today apologetic, yet determined, to beat this rap. “The ADN doesn’t really have any symbols except Pope Hope’s IRL image, which is posted quite frequently around the forums she’s visited. I never meant to hurt her feelings, and I hope that she knows that I felt that everything was kept in character. If it’s any consolation, I’m sorry for my lack of professionalism, and I’m sorry that I hurt you.”<br />
<br />
Sir Paul has used Pope Hope’s image twice in the past. Once for the infamous “Who’s a bigger Nazi” article, and once for the “Alcatraz” article. In the first, Sir Paul placed Pope Hope, Hitler, and Unlimited’s Avatar next to each other, and then proceeded down a check list to see which government was most Nazi. Despite the disclaimer at the bottom, some felt it crossed the line. The second instance of using Pope Hope IRL image involved photoshoping Borg parts onto her and Vasquez’s IRL image in an ADN=Borg piece. Both images have since been removed and PNN’s new policy dictates that no IRL names, information, or images can be used.<br />
<br />
''Pope Hope, filing the suit in the world court''<br />
<br />
Most people agree that Sir Paul is guilty, and PNN will have hard decisions to make regarding its most famous reporter, who brings in a majority of viewers to both the Pacific Press and the Tabloid Tribune. Insiders say that Sir Paul has already attempted to resign, but that the senate rejected this, instead placing him under suspension. Pierconium stated “Sir Paul has crossed the boundaries of decency, and will be under administrative leave until further notice.”<br />

<br />
'''Firstly, how did you get involved with NationStates?'''<br />
A very dear friend of mine is surviving with cancer. She invited me to join the game and I cannot refuse her any request. Her nation — Nandemo — was wandering through the smaller, founder-based regions and I invited her to join me in the North Pacific. She's been there ever since, even surviving the mass-ejections by UPS Rail and Great Bight.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with The North Pacific? Did you start off here, or come from somewhere else?'''<br />
Thel DRan, my first nation, actually generated in the North Pacific. In truth, I just hadn't noticed there were other regions until about four days after starting NationStates™.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved in the TNP forums?'''<br />
On the very day I noticed that I could change regions, I got my first telegram — from Magicality. She invited me to join the forum of TNP and I decided I'd investigate the community before wandering off to join another one.<br />
<br />
'''Where did you get the idea for the map of The North Pacific, and how, roughly, do you do it?'''<br />
My first week in TNP's forum was an investigation of what the community needed (along with a few embarrassingly n00b questions). I was truly surprised that not only was there no map there seemed never to have been any discussion of one.<br />
<br />
There's a FAQ about the map here.<br />
<br />
'''Did you enjoy The North Pacific Award Ceremony, and how are your awards? Also, where did you get the idea for the design of the awards?'''<br />
I think the Award Ceremony is in my Top Ten of the Best Topics in TNP. I didn't post anything during the planning and development stages because I was in the middle of my delegacy and thought participation might represent inappropriate influence. I was happy to be nominated for Best Topic (as I've a certain amount of pride associated with the map) and very surprised to be nominated for three other awards.<br />
The design of the awards themselves started with a Chinese medallion and was elaborated on, in stages, until it looked "cool." There are elements of Photoshop and Excel drawing functions in it. The dragon came from someone's Family Tree website, and I guess I should have bookmarked that.<br />
<br />
'''I seem to remember that you were/are a member/founder of The Avengers. How did that come about?'''<br />
From time to time, I found a region for no reason at all. Avengers Assemble initially started as an homage to my days as a comic book geek. When I was first banned by UPS Rail, Avengers seemed to be the ideal place to move. Within a week, nearly 100 nations had followed me there and it became one of the hubs of exile activity. I suppose that rate of growth, in conjunction with the truly respected names that turned up there, was the inspiration for the formation of the Government-in-Exile.<br />
<br />
'''Are there any other Non-TNP nations that you particularly admire?'''<br />
Dilber, Galdago, Cortath, Minineenee, all of the folks with whom I regularly AIM chat, and everyone in Lemuria and Avengers Assemble.<br />
<br />
'''During the UPS rail/Great Bight debacle, how did you find out about it, and what were your first thoughts?'''<br />
UPS Rail and I were actually chatting in AIM somewhat regularly before all the matter impacted the fan. I believe he was sincere in his belief that the North Pacific was under the control of a clique. I argued that I was still too new to the game to have been accepted by any such exclusive group. I was quiet surprised to find myself in the Rejected Realms as I thought we'd developed a rapport and he did seem earnest in his desire to help the region.<br />
Great Bight's motivation was and remains harder to figure out.<br />
In combination, their actions made it remarkably easy to advertise my desire to become delegate of the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
'''For those of us too lazy to find the relevant forum, what made you step down as delegate?'''<br />
I'm not certain I've ever outlined this before, except in AIM chat. When I was exiled I began to form a plan for what needed to happen in the North Pacific when order was restored. I am not a military-minded individual by any stretch of the imagination so I was more than happy to leave the Liberation to those who planned the strategies in that capacity.<br />
Once I'd achieved the elements of the "Restoration" that I'd planned while in exile, I didn't see any reason to continue as the delegate. In fact, allowing Sydia to take the position did more to indicate that democracy had been at least partially returned to the North Pacific than any further initiative I might have embarked on.<br />
<br />
'''How did the peace treaty with the PRP start? Did you, another TNP member, or the PRP suggest it? What was you’re initial reaction to this?'''<br />
This is a direct outgrowth of my regular AIM chats with all the NS players I can find who use that program. I was chatting with Unlimited almost immediately after he became the delegate of the Pacific. He seems to be a quite reasonable person and we decided the peace treaty was worth investigating further. If this pans out to mean a lasting and operative agreement, I'll be thrilled. If it does not, I may retire completely from diplomatic affairs. :)<br />
'''<br />
You seem to have taken a lesser role in TNP issues as of late. Is this because you are simply busy with RL issues?'''<br />
While RL is always a factor it is not preventing me from participating in the game of NS. You may notice I am one of the authors of the Critical Response Provisions Act. I'm quite eager to see this eventually ratified as the Constitution's second amendment.<br />
I maintain an almost daily conversation with the leaders of each Pacific region. And when everyone is online, I host Pacific Delegate meetings.<br />
I have not resigned from the UN nor moved out of TNP (except during the endorsement vigil of Magicality) and plan to stay (at the least) for the resolution of the PRP treaty.<br />
In short, I'm not out. I'm just less noisy.<br />
<br />
'''How do you feel The North Pacific will evolve with the changes within Nation States? Will we adapt and deal with the changes, or simply fall behind? If we are to change, what aspects of the TNP do you think will change?'''<br />
Unfortunately, I am not the arbiter of the evolution of the region and I probably should not seek to become so. I do see us and the entire game on the cusp of a new and broader identity. It will be interesting to see if and how this can be achieved.<br />
<br />
'''Ok, now for the not so serious stuff:<br />
What type of music do you listen to?'''<br />
World-Influenced Dark Eclectic (WIDE), being my own approach to the gothic scene.<br />
<br />
'''What other hobbies do you have?'''<br />
Art, maps, alternative history and science fiction, writing, comics (yes, still), and a broad spectrum of sociological research.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently that you would care to share?'''<br />
I'm planning a huge event in November (this year) that I'm quite proud of and hope goes well. It will be a large gothic party in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
'''I’m strangely drawn to shiny objects and weaponry. What are you drawn to?'''<br />
Oddness. Heresy. Conversation with the Intelligencia.<br />
<br />
'''How’s the weather in Philadelphia?'''<br />
Today: Bright and clear. Tomorrow: Chance of rain.<br />
<br />
'''Have you got a favourite food stuff?'''<br />
Sushi. Bloody Mary marinated steak and shrimp. Pizza.<br />
<br />
'''Anchovies! What’s your opinion?'''<br />
Very cool (though still a bit like running your tongue along a pier).<br />
<br />
'''Poe or Ananke?'''<br />
I have to choose? I chat much more frequently with Poe.<br />
<br />
'''Thel D'Ran, thank you very much.'''<br />

===Poe Interview (Nov. 2, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/poe-interview-t543.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
''Originally posted in The North Pacific News Central on 19/10/2004)''<br />
<br />
'''Who first introduced you to NationStates?'''<br />
Hrmmm…honestly, I have no idea who it was. I had been posting at a poetry forum for a couple months earlier this year (like, way earlier, we’re talking January) and one day it was really boring and no one was posting. So I went looking around, reading old threads and stumbled upon this post in the “recommended sites” section, about making your own country, and I thought I’d go check it out. I had done model UN in high school and stuff, and have always been fascinated with geography, so I made up some random nation title, and hung around the HQ and read stuff for the first few days. I wasn’t ever really interested in moving to another region. The lucky thing is, that I read that poetry site thread when I did, because only a couple weeks after I startes NS-ing, the poetry site shut down. I could still be floundering in cyberspace with nothing to do! The dire consequences of that idea scare me to death. :D<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with The North Pacific forums?'''<br />
Well, you know how it is…three days with nothing to do but hang around the HQ is bound to make any bored person decide to check out the forum link! I had gone to the NS forums, and they were just far too big and messy and full of obnoxious people. So I figured I’d start out a bit smaller and went to just TNP forum instead. Originally under the member name “Psychotic Head of Creepugnasia” until Sydia (whom I thought was a girl at the time) posted something in the Pet Peeves thread about people with really long member names, so I changed it to Poe. Because Poe was the fugitive ex-heiress of Creepugnasia. Her dad was the communist dictator, until it was over thrown. Her full name was actually Poem, but I shortened it to Poe because Poem is just far too cheesy and pansy to garner any respect. Poe will beat you up if you piss her off. Poem, she’ll whimper and bat her eyelashes, hoping someone will be nice to her. Somewhere early along the way, though, Poe stopped being an RP character, and now she’s just me. Someone who bats her eyelashes while beating you up. :D<br />
<br />
'''What made you leave The North Pacific for a while?'''<br />
Which time? :lol:<br />
<br />
'''What do you think about the recent discussions with the PRP?'''<br />
I think that discussions with the PRP are great. Those old NPO guys are actually really fun, and I rather enjoyed the time that I spent as a “spy” over there. It’s nice to have them around the NP forum. And I think that things will work out. However, if we do end up signing treaties with them, I’m wondering how we’ll work things out with the ADN, since that would be treason. Will we be kicked out of the ADN? Who knows? All I know is that Sir Paul’s tabloids are wildly entertaining.<br />
<br />
'''How’s Lemuria going?'''<br />
Lemuria is going swimmingly! Honestly the detail and work and background and effort that Thel has put into it amazes me. It’s going to go so far! I can feel it in my guts. If you haven’t gone to look around the forum, you really ought to. It’s awesome.<br />
<br />
'''Any thoughts on who would make a good next delegate?'''<br />
Personally, I would love to see Flemingovia as delegate of TNP. Or DD or Virtual Boy. There was a time when I wanted to be delegate…if only for a day, just because I thought it would be cool, but having been the delegate in Lemuria, I’m content in a lowly spammer role, where I can wield influence and subtle power with my wit and charm. Or as some would say, my “feminine wiles.” :lol:<br />
<br />
'''What is your favourite development in NationStates at the moment?'''<br />
Ya know, I really couldn’t tell you! *leans in and whispers* Can you keep a secret? I’m not really in it for the game these days…I’m here for all you awesome people, who I consider to be my friends. The OOC is the coolest place on the web. And the people in it are “da baermb,” as Coach Z would say.<br />
<br />
'''And now for the less serious stuff:'''<br />
Wait. There was serious stuff?!<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell the newbie’s a bit about yourself?'''<br />
I talk more than anyone should. But I try to be entertaining about it, and when it’s not entertaining, it’s at least quirky. And I hope they’re not scared of me…I try not to be scary, but sometimes my insanity just makes me come across that way. And I really REALLY hope they’re not intimidated, because I love getting to know people. They should probably know that I tend to be very sarcastic at times, and if I ever say anything that comes across as offensive, I really don’t mean it that way. Um, other than that, I’m a twenty-something who’s not sure what to do with herself. But I like to have fun and goof off, and I’d know what I want to be when I grow up if I were ever sure that I was going to grow up.<br />
<br />
'''Is there anything interesting that you've done recently?'''<br />
I recently quit school and work to “find myself” and to recover from some health problems that I’ve been having. Other then that, um…I recently re-opened a non-NS forum that my online friends (most of whom are NSers… actually, all of them are, I think…) and I hang out at. It’s a cool little place. I like it. You can come visit anytime you’d like! It’s found at: '''Dead link omitted''' (sorry for that blantant plug there… :lol: actually, no I’m not! ;) )<br />
<br />
'''What’s your favourite food stuff?'''<br />
Hummmm…that’s a hard one. I would have to say Chinese, ice cream, or DD. Oh wait. Food? Chinese food. More specifically lo mein, mongolian barbecue, jaudze (potstickers), and oh, anything. Mmm Chinese food! Dessert? Ice cream. All kinds. The best thing in the world is eating strawberry ice cream (with real strawberry chunks in it, of course) on a swing at three in the afternoon on a summer day. DD is for snacking between meals…Heh.<br />
<br />
'''How’s the weather with you?'''<br />
It’s raining and I am positively giddy! I adore rain. I go out and lie on my trampoline when it rains. I love the smell of rain, the sound of rain, the color of rain, the feel of rain…it’s delicious. Rain is my favorite kind of weather, so I’m in an awesome mood today.<br />
'''<br />
Music! What are your favourite band/artists at the moment?'''<br />
Currently, I am on a Jeff Buckley kick. I splurged at the recod store and bought a 5-cd compilation called “The Grace Eps.” It’s an obscure collection of some hard to find EPs of his that were released in Europe and stuff, very, very cool. I have a huge crush on Jeff Buckley, which is odd, I know, because he’s dead and all…but then, I have a huge crush on Bernini’s David statue…so it’s not like I’m weird. ;) Besides Jeff Buckley, I’ve been listening to lots of stuff from Casiotone For The Painfully Alone. A one-guy band type deal, he mixes all of his songs on keyboards, including a little casio one. And the lyrics are just great. They’re sad songs, mostly, but I love it, because I think everyone can relate to them. If you haven’t ever heard of him, check them out. I’m sure there’s a link in my “Song of The Day” thread in the OOC.<br />
<br />
'''What's your favourite film?'''<br />
My favorite film? Hrmmm…that’s so hard. I have so many favorite movies, although I haven’t seen many of the classics. I love the Lord of The Rings movies. I still cry watching Return of The King…and I’ve seen it about 20 times. The minute Sam starts carrying Frodo up the mountain, I pretty much bawl to the end credits. Other awesome movies,that I love are Waking Ned Devine, What About Bob?, The Spanish Prisoner, Shadowlands (a film about CS Lewis, starring Anthony Hopkins), and Muppet Treasure Island. There are so many, but those are the ones that I watch over and over. Oh, and a kind of obscure documentary/art type film called “Baraka.” Gorgeous cinematography.<br />
<br />
'''<br />
Alligators or Crocodiles?'''<br />
Nile Crocodiles. Those are the coolest nature documentaries. The National Geographic ones of the Nile Crocodiles, where you’ve got the stupid wildebeest who go up to the water, and they’re like “Oh! He’s not looking, hurry get a drink! I think he’s asleep!” And the gullible one sticks his head in the water, and then in the next three seconds, his head is gone and the crocodile’s there grinning with a leg hanging out of his mouth going, “Wha? Wasn’t me, I swear! Heh heh heh. I’ll get you my pretties…” They’re so badass. I’m scared to death of them.<br />
<br />
'''Do you know what laver bread is?'''<br />
I don’t…but if I were to venture a guess, I’m thinking it’s the kind of cakes that girls with speech impediments bake for the guys they have crushes on to impress them with their mad cooking skillz.<br />
<br />
'''Last question, the one that everyone is afraid to ask, but knows the answer to:<br />
<br />
VB or DD?'''<br />
*laughs* Awww…it’s so hard! I haven’t had the privelege of getting to know Veebs as well as I know DD, so it’s a rather biased opinion. I have to say DD. If I didn’t I’d be lying. I’m madly in love with the guy. He’s got animal magnetism oozing from every pore or something. He’s the only person that can regularly leaves me speechless. If he were a nile crocodile, the other wildebeast wouldn’t have to tell me to sneak a drink, I’d walk straight in without even flinching. Plus, he’s an Invader Zim fan, and puts up with my dorkiness. That’s a keeper, that is. I would try to impress him with my mad baking skillz, but it’s a hard thing to do virtually, you know. Not that I haven’t tried.<br />
<br />

===Pixiedance/Cathyy interview (Nov. 3, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pixiedance-cathyy-interview-t553.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
''(Originally posted in the North Pacific News Central on 20/10/2004, before Pixiedance became delegate.)''<br />
My next interview is with Cathyy, also known as Pixiedance.<br />
<br />
'''It seems that few people know much about you, despite beginning around here for a while, and I'll like to take this opportunity to shed some light on you, particularly as you have declared that you are running for delegate.'''<br />
Oooh that makes me sound rather mysterious :) Can I have some over-sized sun-glasses, maybe I could get used to that image.<br />
<br />
'''Firstly, how did you get introduced to NationStates?'''<br />
Another forum that I chat on/post on, someone mentioned something about going off to sort their nation out. I thought it sounded interesting so I went and had a look at their nation and it went from there really. The slightly annoying thing is that this wasn't a person I knew particularly well and for the life of me now I can't remember who they were/who their nation is!<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved with the TNP forums?'''<br />
Well, when I first 'landed' in NS I was pretty clueless about how it worked. (Guess we all had to be sometime!) So, for a while I didn't do very much other than look at my issues and watch how they affected my nation. Then I began to get telegrams - from people like Thel, welcoming me to the region. And then I began to read the forum as I'd been given the link.<br />
<br />
'''Which TNP member/s do you most respect?'''<br />
Well, I think it's hard to single out one or even a group. Thel was the first person who I spoke to via chat and we got to know each other pretty well. Thel's energy astounds me - look at all the stuff he produces for the region. I think he made a great Delegate and acted as a hugely important focal point during the GB affair.<br />
Wilks I sort of think of as a wise elder statesman (he'll kill me for that I bet!!) And I think the same of quite a lot of others. The ones I’m thinking of definitely include also Ananke...the names and legends we all know.<br />
Poe, Virtual Boy - also legends :)<br />
Magicality is probably the person I have most regrets that I didn't get a chance to speak with as she was already ill by the time I got here.<br />
<br />
'''What made you decide to run for delegate, and in what ways will you change the North Pacific?'''<br />
Well, I’ve thought about it off and on for a while and I’ve been collecting endorsements for a long time. i suppose you get to a point where you think. OK, well all these people are endorsing me....so maybe I'd like to take it that one step further. I also believe that I could do a good job at it, because I'm the sort of person who would rather not do something at all if I can't do it well.<br />
I would like to improve the way information works and flows through the region. I'd like to see better links between here and the Regional HQ. I'd also like to see better co-ordination and accountability between the ministries. And I'd like to see wider participation in the forum, which I see as crucial.<br />
<br />
'''What is your opinion on the talks between the PPR/TNP? How do you think the Ukraine incident will effect this, and what is your overall view of the incident?'''<br />
This would be a very complicated answer and one which I would need to research more so I'm going to skip it for here but if anyone wants to pose it in my candidacy thread I'll deal with it there, when I have a little more time than right now.<br />
<br />
'''You were very active during the UPS Rail/Great Bight incident. What is your opinion on this, and how do you think it has effected the whole of the North Pacific?'''<br />
I think it was a horrible time for the whole region. However, positive things often can come out of bad things. I think allies and friendships were strengthened during that time. Not only that, we showed that we could work together and eventually triumph over the wrong-doing of GB.<br />
I think it has made people a lot more wary. That's a double-edged sword really. I think democracy is worth protecting and so a certain wariness is right. But we do need to find a balance between that and ostracising people. But i think it's human nature that when you've been attacked you become more vigilant. Again, I don't see that as a bad thing.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think the future holds for NationStates and the North Pacific?'''<br />
Well, I'm sure a pay-to-play version will have a huge impact on NationStates. But NationStates and the region are the sum of all of their parts, i.e. members/players. So, in that sense it's almost impossible to predict. I'd like to think that the future would involve co-operation between nations and regions and that, in particular, we continue to develop as a community for the region. But that relies firstly on the information flows that i referred to earlier. I see those as key.<br />
People need to see the links between what are essentially two separate parts of the whole - NS and the wider community of both this region and the whole game.<br />
<br />
'''Less serious stuff coming up:<br />
What do you do in RL?'''<br />
I work in the health service in communication and management.<br />
<br />
'''Done anything interesting recently?'''<br />
Doing soon. I'm going to Paris for the first time. So i'm really looking forward to that. :)<br />
<br />
'''What are you having for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack of choice?'''<br />
In an ideal world....calorie-free chocolate for all of them!<br />
<br />
'''Any particular type of music, or band/artist you've listened to recently?'''<br />
I love anything from the 80s really. And I'm old enough to remember that stuff first time round - so I expect partly it's nostalgia or wishing I was 10 years younger!<br />
<br />
'''Name a random movie!'''<br />
A Fish Called Wanda<br />
<br />
'''What’s best for a fondue: chocolate or cheese?'''<br />
Chocolate!!!<br />
<br />
'''Right, I've run out of things to say.Thank you for the interview!'''<br />
Many thanks for asking me :)<br />
<br />
===Sir Paul Interview (Nov. 3, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sir-paul-interview-t554.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Krulltopia<br />
<br />
'''My next is interview is with Sir Paul, PRP senator.<br />
How were you introduced to NationStates?'''<br />
I was reading an article of Newsweek and noticed that they mentioned a free online political simulation game. Yes, I’m that much of a nerd. I started in July of last year, was born in the Pacific, and the rest is history.<br />
<br />
'''How did you get involved in the Pacific forums (NPO and PRP), and subsequently, how did you get involved with the North Pacific forums?'''<br />
I didn’t pay much attention to goings on outside of my nation until the Francos Spain situation, where I found myself in the Rejected Realms. I decided that I wanted to live in the Pacific, and decided that I would work inside the system to affect change. Thus, I swore my allegiance to Franco if he would let me return. I did some work for the republic, was elevated to Senator, and have been enacting reforms from the inside ever since.<br />
<br />
'''What is your opinion of Francos Spain?'''<br />
Franco was a visionary in that he created a stable government with the ideals of Peace, Strength, and Prosperity. He and the senate created a system of government with delegation of authority, responsiveness to the people, and a good amount of security. His leaving the game has left a shadow and an emptiness in the Pacific that can never truly be filled.<br />
<br />
'''How did you start the Tabloid Tribune?'''<br />
I didn’t start the Tabloid Tribune, Bertram Strantous did. He started the tabloid thread, and I took over as he became less active. I’ve since created the Pacific News Network, with the Pacific Press (legitimate, somewhat funny, news) and the Tabloid Tribune (funny, nonsensical, fake news).<br />
<br />
'''Could you explain a bit about the organization of the Pacific into provinces?'''<br />
As the Pacific became more active, we created the governorships to ensure a responsive government, such as telegramming people about upcoming events, getting people active, and rallying the populace during invasion.<br />
Since, we’ve re-organized into 6 provinces of about the same size, and the elected governors create whatever kind of micro-government they so choose. The main duties of the provinces are to keep the government close to the people and ensure activity. Each province is run differently, so I’ll defer your readers to the ministry of interior for more information regarding each province.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think about the current PRP/TNP talks?'''<br />
<br />
I think that this is a real chance for a lasting peace in the Pacific. Unfortunately, certain multi-regional organizations who wish to demonize the PRP will try and throw a monkey-wrench in the process, but hopefully, cooler heads can prevail.<br />
<br />
'''Could you sum up your own personal views on the Ukraine incident?'''<br />
*Warning: Propagandist rhetoric to follow*<br />
From what I understand, the founder of Ukraine (Francos Spain) quite a while ago, declared that the Ukraine was part of the USSR, much like North and South Korea. After the Soviet revolution, RedCommunist began a policy of region-building. Upon moving into the Ukraine, GLA and TITO moved in and greifed the region, ejecting 20% of the natives. In order to ensure that invaders or the ADN did not take the delegacy, the USSR invoked the Union of Sovereigns Alliance, and thus, the PRP was obligated to protect and defend USSR territory.<br />
I asked RedCommunist if bringing in the PRP into the Ukraine was a good idea, as I was sure certain propaganda ministers would use the situation to take the Ukraine from the USSR. He assured me that the ADN had no designs for it, and his chief concern was from invaders. Unfortunately, my fears proved true, and the alphabet soup organizations moved on Ukraine, invading Union of Sovereign soil. So, this thing then got turned into a “PRP expansionist operation” when it was us coming to the aid of a beleaguered ally who helped defend us against so many attacks in the past.<br />
So, I now call upon the ADN/GLA/TITO/NPA or whoever the heck is occupying Ukraine to ask the natives WHAT THEY WANT. That’s my biggest beef with “defenders.” Defenders no longer wait for a native call for help, and they no longer endorse native delegates. That’s not defending the native delegacy, that’s invading and occupying. Once all this is sorted out, hopefully they will leave and the natives can once again begin the process of region building with the help of the USSR.<br />
*End propagandist rhetoric*<br />
<br />
'''Could you sum up your own personal views on the UPS Rail/Great Bight incident?'''<br />
Well, I got to meet UPS Rail (Rich) and he seems like a nice enough guy. A guy with an interesting plan of action. He felt that TNP was suffering from an “old boys club” mentality and he felt that Nationstates was dying from inactivity. He called us up, asking for senator-status if he allied with us. He was then planning on using the international outrage as a rallying point to eventually invade the Pacific, using our secrets and intel from our boards against us. We never took him up on the offer, and he resigned in shame. He told me he wanted an outsider, Collostium, to take over, but make one critical mistake…<br />
The Great Blight thing. God, I hated that annoying pirate banter, but he provided the NPO an interesting opportunity. In exchange for support from the evil empire, we could squelch the NPA threat. At that time, we felt that TNP was the biggest obstacle to peace in the Pacific, and thus, if we supported the pirate government, we knew the ADN would first liberate you guys before they would attack us. In essence, ALSO would become a buffer for the NPO.<br />
Confidentially, (this is just between me and TNP readers), I was appalled by the actions of the government, and secretly I was glad that the government fell. The people of TNP deserved much better. Not even Poskrebychev was that bad.<br />
<br />
'''What, in your opinion, is in store for NationStates, and the Pacific, in the future?'''<br />
Nationstates will slowly die out and lose nations, but the ones that remain will stay active. I see new alliances forming, and I see the possibility of peace in the Pacific. Whether it’s through armed occupation or diplomacy is up to you ;-).<br />
<br />
'''Now, as is my custom, now into the less serious stuff:<br />
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?'''<br />
Sure. I’m a graduate student at UCLA in urban planning. I’m from Bakersfield, and am adjusting to LA slowly but sharply. See, I don’t much like Bush, on account that he’s too liberal, but by the time I leave I’m sure I’ll be a pot-toking communist hippie.<br />
<br />
'''Have you got any hobbies in that fabled land of 'Real Life'?'''<br />
I’m a nikyu (brown belt) in judo, and I enjoy writing, hiking, cooking, and eating.<br />
<br />
'''What are you reading at the moment?'''<br />
Cadillac Desert.<br />
<br />
'''Which bands/artists are you listening to?'''<br />
I’ve got eclectic taste in music, listening to Pachabell, 5 for fighting, Papa Roach, R. Kelley, etc.<br />
<br />
'''Whereabouts are you, and how’s the weather?'''<br />

'''What do you think killed the dinosaurs: a complex series of events that they were ill-equipped to adapt to, and therefore died out according to the theory of natural selection; or a big lump of rock from outer space?'''<br />
Ah, I’m glad you asked, because I have an extensive background in Geology. The dinosaurs died out at the end of Cretaceous epoch about 65 million years ago at the K/T boundary. To creationist, the dinos either bit the dust because the great flood killed them, or their bones were put there by Satan to confuse us into not accepting Christ and the Old Testament. I personally believe that God wouldn’t confuse us in this manner, so I accept that a climate change caused by the Yucatan meteor caused the mass extinction, as ordained by God.<br />

===Governors Officially Take Office on 1 November (Nov. 6, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/governors-officially-take-office-t576.html</ref>===<br />

''Governor The New Duce of Province H-L argues before the AoG about the size of the new militia''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, Franco City, The Pacific.'' On 1 November 2004, four governors officially took office: '''Andropov''' of Province non-letters-C; '''[[Mussolandia in NationStates|The New Duce]]''' of Province H-L; '''MistStlkr''' of Province M-P; and '''Sedarva''' of Province Q-S. All four are said to be in great spirits and have been working diligently to create their governments.<br />
<br />
With the full complement of governors now in office, the governors have officially created the Assembly of Governors (AoG) which is a lower house of the PRP government. This AoG has the ability to vote on legislation passed down from the Senate, and it can create its own legislation to hand to the Senate. This is a great victory for democracy since this lower house will be able to participate in the policy making process for the People of the Pacific region. "It's a momentous time in the Pacific," stated Senator of Internal Affairs Warrior Thorin. "The people can now go to their provincial governors and as for legislation to be passed up to the Senate. Why is this important? Because the people are now given a voice to dictate policy for this region. This is the manifestation of democracy, and you can look forward to more changes to come as the AoG takes on more issues."<br />
<br />
The AoG has already been involved in the development of policy. The AoG was presented with a suggestion from the Senate to create a militia for the purpose of defense for the region. "What ensued was a very creative process," stated Delegate Unlimited. "They took control right away of the militia to make sure that there would be no unauthorized use of it. I was very impressed with their policy making capability. The People should know that they worked very hard to protect the People's interests!"<br />
<br />
Democracy is being formed, despite what some of the naysayers posit. The people now have the direct capability to create legislation, something that was not provided for in the days of the NPO. "I am greatly honored to work with the People," stated Governor Andropov, "and it is equally a pleasure to work with the other governors. We might have disagreements occasionally, but we are protecting the best interests of our provinces."<br />

===Meritocratic Elections: Democracy in Action (Nov. 12, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/meritocratic-elections-t609.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Alan Keyes saying that Jesus would not vote for Eli''<br />
<br />
Senate Chambers, The New Meritocracy: It’s that timepart again when the Meritocracy elects a new Consul. The consul’s position entails selecting a cabinet, enforcing the laws, and is the embodiment of the senate. The current election is a pivotal one for the region, with the heart and soul up for grabs. The candidates are the fine, upstanding senators Eli and Cortath.<br />
<br />
Eli comes from the mean streets of North America and is running on a platform of outreach and recruitment. The Meritocracy has been declining in membership, and is becoming more withdrawn from the world, especially with the termination of the ADMA treaty. He is advocating for an active diplomatic corps, and hopes that the senate will not stick to neutrality, but enter into the world stage.<br />
<br />
Eli wrote:<br />
I supported the ADMA treaty during its time. It has now been rejected by the Senate, if I am elected Consul I will not attempt to change the Senate's will in this matter. The ALL is a treaty joined by this organization over a year ago and I support its continuance. I will be friendly to the ADN as I will to the rest of the NS world. My goal is to be very active diplomatically and to spread the good name of the Meritocracy.<br />
<br />
Cortath, on the other hand, hails from the ADN (as a representative), and as a complete 180 from Eli, believes that the Met hangs on to neutrality way to much. He gave a stirring speech on the senate floor.<br />
<br />
Cortath wrote:<br />
The word on everyone's lips is "neutrality". But what is neutrality? Is neutrality when one is given two choices, you must choose neither? Go down the middle road? To paraphrase Yogi, when you come to a fork in the road, do you take it (that's a joke, for those of you not familiar with the famous Yankees catcher)? I do not believe neutrality is always forcing yourself to take a middle road, or to not take a road at all. That's not neutrality in my eyes. Neutrality is keeping your options open, so that you have as many roads open as possible. Granted, sometimes we will go down that middle road, or go down no road at all, but the Meritocracy, in order to keep those roads open, in order for our light to always be a welcoming beacon, must take positions on those issues that are right and just. As the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., said, "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict. " I believe that the crisis in The North Pacific was a great low point in the history of the Meritocracy. Regardless of one's position, hestitating for even a moment to fulfill one's mandatory treaty obligations, is frankly, a shame. And why did we hestitate? Neutrality.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cortath, confused on the meaning of the words Neutrality and is<br />
<br />
To help the senator out, we would like to present him with what neutrality really is…<br />
<br />
\Neu*tral"i*ty\, n. [Cf. F. neutralit['e].] – The state or quality of being neutral; the condition of being unengaged in contests between others; state of taking no part on either side, especially nonparticipation in war ; indifference.<br />
<br />
So, with one senator advocating the end of neutrality, and another advocating a new interpretation of it, the citizens of the Meritocracy have a difficult choice this election.<br />
-------<br />
UPDATE: Eli beats Cortath - wins 28 (70%) to 12 (30%).<br />

===Sarda Elected as the First President of The Assembly of Governors (Nov. 16, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/sarda-voted-as-first-president-of-the-aog-t649.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' Sarda, Governor of Tantus Pacificus, was elected as the first President of the Assembly of Governors (AoG). "I'm relieved this election is over. It was pretty close," sighed Sarda who awaited for the final votes to be tallied early this morning.<br />
<br />
For those who don't know, the President of the AoG, "...has the responsibility to mediate the discussion of any new legislation. The president also shall declare when the discussion has come to a close and the matter is ready for a vote. In the event that the result of the AoG vote is a tie, the President will cast the deciding vote." [taken from the Legislation Procedures of the AoG posted in the People's Palace]. Sarda begins a 30 day term essentially leading legislation discussions and votes.<br />
<br />
In this first election, the Senator of Internal Affairs did not have to cast a vote. Sarda issued the following statement: "...it's truly an honor to be elected as the first President of the first democratically elected legislature in the Pacific. I hope to serve up to the standards of excellence Francos set for us all when he built up our first Senate."<br />

===The Status of the Pacific: The Rise of the Republic (Nov. 21, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-status-of-the-pacific-t715.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Warrior Thorin<br />
<br />
''This article was originally submitted to the NSN on 21 November 2004''<br />
<br />
''Thorinopolis, Warrior Thorin.'' The recent events of the rise of an underground movement has led me to consider that the time is appropriate for the readers of this great news service to hear our side of the what is happening in The Pacific. I am not writing this to dispatch the good people of the Underground Movement; instead I wish to simply explain what it is that we are working very hard at in The Pacific.<br />
<br />
On 1 September 2004, the Republic was announced, supplanting the New Pacific Order (NPO) as the formal government of The Pacific. There were some immediate changes to this new government, of which I have been surprised that few people have noticed. Unlimited replaced Poskrebyshev as the delegate of the Pacific, and two new Senators were added (Pierconium and myself; BlackAdder was added in the final days of the NPO). This changed the old "hardline" stance that was prevalent in the old Senate. Gone are now the great revolutionaries Francos Spain, InfernoIce, Bertram Strantrous, and Poskrebyshev. Now the Senate is comprised of Mammothistan (the last of the original NPO Senators), and a crew of Senators and a Delegate who at one time were in opposition to the NPO.<br />
<br />
The dynamic of this group is important for the growth of the Revolution, but you cannot understand this group's beliefs without first examining the history of the Revolution. In August of 2003, Francos Spain removed Theodoc as the delegate of The Pacific, thereby eliminating what we perceived was a very corrupt government. From that moment on, forces emerged to try and force Francos Spain from power, many of whom were not of Pacific origin (including Myrdinn, my original nation who descended from the South Pacific and joined the RRA). The North Pacific declared war on The Pacific, as did the organization that became The ADN. The West Pacific and the South Pacific also made attacks on The Pacific. We lived in a time in which martial law had to be installed to protect the region from foreign aggression, thereby preserving its sovereignty.<br />
<br />
People have asked me if they were once in opposition to the NPO could they ever be permitted back? The answer is definitely yes. I was once fervently against the NPO, creating countless number of puppets to try and infiltrate it. Sir Paul was banned speaking out against Francos Spain. And yet, when you really examine the history of the war, it becomes clear why we all joined the Revolution. The Pacific's sovereignty was in jeopardy. What I see happened in the Revolution was that the people spoke and chose Francos Spain over Theodoc, but Theodoc and his crew were unhappy about losing their grasp on the Pacific and were willing to sacrifice the region's sovereignty for the sole purpose to regain power of the region. The NPO was committed to preserving the sovereignty of the region. It was unfortunate that it had to declare martial law to do it.<br />
<br />
Yet, Pax Pacifica did eventually happen. There was a brief time early this year in which the attacks seemed to level off. Yet, the threats were always there. Several operations would be launched against the Pacific by foreign aggressors and The Pacific would respond to protect the region. When a delegate arose in The North Pacific, the Pacific decided to support him and his initial successor for the protection of our sovereignty. However, my opinion is that we erred in this endeavor as we forgot that we were challenging the sovereignty of another region; however I shall point out that this is my own opinion on the matter.<br />
<br />
When Francos Spain left the game due to a real life tragedy, Poskrebyshev would also leave and thus came the rise of the Republic. It was amorphous in many ways when we first launched the newer government, but it is now taking form. When the forum was created, we had developed The People's Palace with the intent that this would be the place that the creation of the Republic would take place. It would be here that the people would develop the schema by which the Republic will take form. It is happening now.<br />
<br />
The first obvious change was in regard to the governorship of the six provinces. In Francos Spain's original template, each lettered provinced was to have its own unique governor (I was once the Governor of Province Y). However, we realized that we could collapse the provinces and make six very unique provinces; each could be basically a region within the region. The People elect the governors in free elections. I can't say that there weren't any problems in the initial elections, but we are new at this, and it was apparent that the people made their choices. The closest election concerned Andropov's whose election had to be re-run over a lack of clarity in the election process. I firmly believe that we did the right thing, and we learned valuable lessons about the election process.<br />
<br />
We now have an important high house, the Assembly of Governors. The AoG is charged with voting on all domestic legislation that is passed down from the Senate, and the AoG can develop its own legislation as well. It is currently discussing the parameters and the possibility of creating a People's Congress for the inclusion of all interested citizens of The Pacific to create and discuss domestic legislation.<br />
<br />
The AoG is an important step in the reformation of the old government to the Republic. The people chose their representatives to create rules and legislation that impact the region. In the old NPO, the government was actually more paternalistic in that they made their decisions the way they saw fit without much consultation with the populace. Today, the people are given their voice. However, when the Congress has taken shape, each individual voice will be furthered empowered to address all concerns.<br />
<br />
The Republic, then, is quite a bit different than the other so-called democratic institutions that exist throughout NS. In a democracy, leaders have been chosen by popular vote; the person who is liked the most for whatever reason is elected. That leader also has a dilemma: if he/she upsets any group of people, he/she could have his/her leadership challenged and may not be able to stay in power. In fact, you can see where instability has often occurred in these kinds of regions if you look carefully. The Republic ensures stability by chosing the right person for the job. It will carefully cultivate the citizens so that they any may rise with the right ideals to ascend to leadership positions, not based on popularity but based on worthiness. Does this mean that elections for the delegate position will never happen? Absolutely not. It means that the citizens will be more responsible in how they choose their leaders. Each person, we hope, will understand that the preservation of The Pacific sovereignty lies in the strength of the Republic. It is our opinion that the Republic will have better citizens in the future because each person will be involved in the decision of the region, and that participation will ensure a great deal of investment to the Republic.<br />
<br />
A lot has been made concerning whether Senators should be elected. I have thought about this a great deal having a mixed, if not ambivalent, opinion on the matter. However, it is clear that the Senate is comprised of some special individuals who are there for the same ideals of the People. Yet, what is different is that they ascended to their position based on the principle of merit. The Senate has always chosen their own, and I submit that they will continue to do so for some time. Is this nefarious? Is this some conspiracy scheme? No. After all, how is it that one becomes a Senator in the Meritocracy? Many apply, few are chosen, and all based on the assumption that you cannot attain a Senate position without proving merit. In a true Republic in which all of the citizens will become vested in the growth of The Pacific, I assume that our Senate will expand due to the merits of many of our citizens. Yet, the Senate should remain a special place; a place to aspire if one is truly interested in the civics of the region. Currently, the Senate handles all foreign policies and also maintains the security of the region. We run into many complications if we merely open it up for an elected person; eventually those who would oppose us (be it the ADN or invading organizations) would infiltrate the Senate and we would have the task of fighting them with our flanks exposed.<br />
<br />
Much has also been made of our development of the People's Militia, of which I have been surprised. There is a distinct difference between a militia and an army, and I wish to point this out because many people seem to confuse the two. An army is a formal organization; a militia is not. Our militia is being developed by the governors of the provinces, thereby they will be trained and maintained by the People. All citizens can participate as much as they like. The militia is created for the purpose of defense for our region, not for the purpose of becoming an invading or "defending" organization. We are indeed a part of the Union of Soveriegns, and we need to be able to help protect our allies if they are attacked, just as they are willing to assist us if we are attacked. Yet, we have no formal army and The Pacific will never have a standing army. The militia is a defensive organization setup to be governed by the People.<br />
<br />
If you look carefully, you should note some vast improvements on the Republic in the short time that it has existed. There is discussion about further improvements, all of which we hope will create better citizens for the region and perhaps for all of NationStates. If one looks carefully at each of the feeder regions, you will noticed that each one has developed a different form of government. We do not criticize those other formations or ideologies, but we do criticize the attacks that people make upon us for creating our Republic. In the end, we argue that regional soverignty has played a vital part of our developing ideology, and that we have come to the conclusion that the development of a republic is a fair and equitable way for all citizens to participate in their civic duties should be seen as a great thing rather than being continually attacked. For those who are not a part of The Pacific, I ask that you remain distant from our soveriegn region unless you intend to extend either a sign of friendship or at least an observant curiousity. For those who are a part of the Pacific, I say come help us build your government. There are many people who tire of the concerns of subversion and terrorism; we extend a warm greeting to those who would rather build than to destroy.<br />
<br />
As I have stated before, The Republic is not the Senate; it is The People of The Pacific. It is the average citizen who is looking for his or her niche. If you reside in the Pacific, then The Republic is you.<br />

===Three Governor Provinces are Opening for Upcoming Elections (Nov. 26, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/offices-open-for-election-t776.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Governor Sarda of Tantus Pacificus During his Acceptance Speech in September''<br />
<br />
''The People's Palace, The Pacific.'' The Senator of Internal Affairs has released the following press statement concerning the expiration of terms for two of the governors, and a third office opening due to the inactivity of Andropov.<br />
<br />
Province Francos Spain Memorial (D-G) and Province Tantus Pacificus (T-Z) are due to have elections in the coming weeks as these two provinces' governors' terms are expiring on 1 January. Candidates, to include the current governors, are to fill out their applications and post them in the Ministry of the Interior by Sunday, December 12th, 2004. Elections will run 13 December - 19 December.<br />
<br />
Province Croyance (Non-Letters-C) will also be on the ballot due to Andropov's abandonment. Again, all candidates who wish to run for this province are encouraged to apply by December 12th, 2004.<br />
<br />
The following criteria must be met by any potential candidates for the position of governor:<br />
<br />
First, check to make sure you meet the minimum requirements:<br />
<br />
1) Your Nation must be in the UN (Note: In some circumstances, this requirement may be waived by approval of the Delegate of the Republic. If it is waived, the Governor must ensure that the Vice-Governor is a UN Nation)<br />
<br />
2) Your Nation must reside in The Pacific<br />
<br />
3) Your Nation must have a population of at least 100 million<br />
<br />
4) You must have made at least 10 posts in the forum<br />
<br />
5) You must complete the application process and answer questions in satisfactory matter. Questions may be posed by anyone, but especially by the Senators<br />
<br />
6) You must be elected by the People on a poll that will be set up once the questioning period is completed. Polls will run for one week.<br />
<br />
7) Upon being selected as a Governor, you must swear an oath:<br />
"I, [state your name], as a servant of the People's Republic of The Pacific and resident of the Pacific, do swear by my faith, honor, and blood to fulfill the capacity of Provincial Governor to the best of my ability, to defend the Judicial Code of the Pacific, and to carry out those actions in the best interest of the Region, as set forth by our benevolent UN Delegate, Unlimited and the PRP Senate."<br />
<br />
A successful election will grant the governor access to the Assembly of Governors upon assuming office on 1 January 2005.<br />
<br />
Any questions concerning the election process or whether one is eligible to be a candidate may be directed to Warrior Thorin either by PM or t-gram.<br />
<br />
===Elections Begin Monday, December 13th! (Dec. 12, 2004)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/election-time-is-upon-us-t904.html</ref>===<br />

'''A Pacific citizen exercises his right to vote''<br />
<br />
''Thorinopolis, Warrior Thorin.'' Elections for three of the Republic's provinces will begin on Monday, December 12th and run until Sunday, December 19th. Province Francos Spain Memorial Province (D-G) has Governor Desetland pitted against Doppleganger, while Province Croyance (Non-letters-C) has Daedalus running opposed, as is the same with Province Tantus Pacificus with Governor Sarda running for re-election.<br />
<br />
The polls will open early Monday morning, and voters will notice that the procedures are going to be radically different from the previous elections. After conferring with the AoG, The Senate, and other foreign dignitaries, the Republic has reformed the election process for the purpose of insuring that the People's voices are heard in the election process. Voters will be asked to PM their responses and their responses will be cross-checked by a committee comprised of two citizens, one Senator, and one foreign dignitary (The Wachovia Coalition of The East Pacific). All votes that are suspicious will be scrutinized to maintain veracity. The committee will be responsible for certifying the election results.<br />
<br />
For this election, early results will not be posted. It is the belief that early results could sway fence-sitters, thus the results will be made public once the final tallies are made and the results have been verified by the committee.<br />
<br />
The polls will once again be found in the Ministry of the Interior and we hope all citizens will participate in this, the most important of all civic duties: the act of choosing your leaders!<br />

''Nak Nak kissing the rope he was hanged with moments later''<br />
<br />
Hall of Injustice, Mod Centre: A few days ago, Nak Nak, the “Tom Bombadil” of the Pacific was dragged from his home and hung five minutes after wishing everyone a happy new years. The charge brought against Nak Nak was for sending a hurtful telegram to foreign recruiter Franken. The message that resulted in the death penalty is printed below, and may offend readers with thin skin. Reader discretion advised:<br />
<br />
Nak Nak wrote:<br />
Nak nak<br />
Received: Five Days Ago<br />
Piss off<br />
<br />
Obviously, Nak Nak crossed the line and the punishment was just and swift. Franken, former head of the successful Nationstates Broadcasting Corporation, was using the alias Palmer's Dominion and justified reporting the incident to the mods.<br />
<br />
Franken wrote:<br />
I was trying to recruit and his spam messages kept bumping them off. It was frustrating to say the least not to mention against the rules. I asked him about it and he said "piss off". I did indeed report that to the mods.<br />
<br />
The message that Franken sent was respectful in tone and not deceitful at all:<br />
<br />
Palmer's Dominion wrote:<br />
I thought only founders could clear regional boards. You seem to be spamming quite a bit, I think thats against the rules. Im a new nation and even I knew that- for such a big nation I would think you would know that<br />
<br />
Obviously, the creator of NBC is a new nation and an older nation such as Nak Nak should be familiar with a new rule. While some consider Nak Nak a de-facto founder (consistently being #1 in the Pacific UN reports), this should not exclude Nak Nak from posting messages in the most heavily spammed region in the game. Since the deletion, Franken has promised not to recruit in the Pacific, and testified on Nak Nak’s behalf that the punishment was too harsh.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for the forces of good, the mod who was looking to poach a high profile PRP member was overturned by Cogitation, and Nak Nak is once again allowed to roam the Pacific free. All hail Nak Nak!<br />

''Unlimited, on the left, shares a joke with Governor Sarda after swearing in the new governors''<br />
<br />
'''The People's Palace, The Pacific.''' The Pacific has rung in a new year and with that comes two new governors and two new administrative laws.<br />
<br />
After a very successful campaign in December, Sarda was re-elected as governor for the Tantus Pacificus Province, unopposed once again. Having also recently completing the first term as President of the AoG, Sarda was much more relaxed after the election. "It's always nice to know that the citizens of Tantus Pacificus have faith in my leadership. I hope to continue to serve them well during this next term."<br />
<br />
Doppelganger supplanted Desetland in a surprise victory in The Francos Memorial Province. "I really won?" Doppelganger stated on the night of the election results. Desetland was very excited at the prospect of new blood in the AoG, even if he cannot participate. Still, Desetland was the architecht of an important piece of legislation that will be explained shortly.<br />
<br />
Daedalus was also elected as a governor, taking over the controversial Croyance Province. In his first official act, he has called for the province to be renamed The Abysserian Guard Province as a tribute to one of the earlier Centurions of the old NPO, Abysseria.<br />
<br />
Two pieces of legislation were also brought into law as the new year began. The first regards the election procedures of the President of the AoG, since there was some confusion as to when the elections are made. The second piece of legislation concerns the activity of the governors, mandating procedures to remove inactive governors from their office before elections. Both pieces of legislature were designed to streamline procedures to make the Pacific a more active region.<br />

''Kalikratis Prepares for His Appointed Duties as Interim High Judge of the Pacific''<br />
<br />
The People's Palace, Francos Spain Hall, The Pacific. Elections for the three provinces have been conducted this month, and The New Duce (Honorem et Libertas Province), Quy (Quotidie Maiestas Province) and Desetland (Pax Pacifica Province) were voted in as governors. This shall be The New Duce's second term. Desetland shall have the distinction of being the first governor to serve in two different provinces. Desetland, a late comer in announcing his candidacy, stated, "It will be interesting to get to know the great people of Pax Pacifica. It will also be interesting to move into a new office and I hope some of the good citizens will help me because I hurt my back when I moved out the last time!"<br />
<br />
In other governmental news, the Senate and the Assemby of Governors (AoG) announced a major reform in the judicial system of The Republic. The High Judge, once a position held by a senator, is now to be a public office. Commenting on the new legislation, BlackAdder noted, "We view it as a further Reform, we're handing the responsibility of Justice to the People. A rather Powerful responsibility given the history we've endured here."<br />
<br />
Kalikratis has been appointed by Unlimited as the interim High Judge. He is expected to be the first citizen to undergo the process to become the actual High Judge. This process entails a Senate confirmation hearing, followed by an AoG confirmation hearing. Finally, the candidate must be voted by the people in a public referendum. The process is demanding, and the qualities expected of the High Judge of the Pacific are expected to be high. The High Judge cannot hold any other office nor participate in the militia. The High Judge is also expected to hold a non-voting seat in the AoG.<br />

Kitimat, The Meritocracy: This year’s annual Kitimat Pact military exercises may be more than just a show of unity between these ten nations. There are scattered reports across the region with regards to large military maneuvers not in the deployment zones. We also have several unconfirmed, and let me stress that, unconfirmed reports that massive mobilization of the civilian populations are underway.<br />
<br />
On this is a day of tragedy, as we have witnessed the massacre in Eureka and the silencing of our Kitimat bureau in Edmonton. War is possibly at the doorstep of the Meritocracy and with these attempts to silence the media, getting information out of this region of the world has been difficult…<br />

===The People's Militia Capture Warzone Africa! (Feb. 20, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-s-militia-capture-warzone-africa-t1263.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Above: Troops from the Ducean Empire march through the African Savannah once more''<br />
<br />
Warzone Africa, NationStates: In a massive demonstration of force, the People’s Militia has taken Warzone Africa from the hands of the Rejected Realms army. The group was headed by Governor The New Duce, from Honorem et Libertas Militia. Volunteers from this province formed the main contingent, which was strengthened by some Abysserian Guardsmen and Hellenic Liberators.<br />
<br />
''Above: Allied forces approaching the target''<br />
<br />
Yet much must be said about the diplomatic skills of our Pacifican soldiers. They are gentlemen as well as fighters. They managed to strike a deal with The Young World, which allowed them to secure the delegacy. More will come from this mighty union.<br />
<br />
The People’s Militia had no intention of holding the Warzone. This was sanctioned as a training exercise and so it shall remain. An orderly transition to forces from the Young World will occur today and our comrades at arms may return home in peace.<br />
<br />
Indeed, a glorious day for the newly formed militia. The first victory of many to come.<br />

===Nuclear War in Meritocracy (Feb. 20, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/nuclear-war-in-meritocracy-t1264.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''A Bumpivanian martyr ensuring that Eureka pays for its actions''<br />
<br />
Meritocracy Administrative District, PNN Regional Headquarters: February 19th, 2005. A day which will be seared into our collective memories. For four billion residents of Eureka, this day will be their epitaph. For billions more in Bumpivania, this day may also be their end. Senator Bumpy made it clear that he and his populace would rather see the Meritocracy destroyed by fire than by the Kitimat Pact.<br />
<br />
Thus far, all around us, tanks and troops march through the streets. The senate and ministries are surrounded by Kitimat Pact troops. It appears that the section of the city that we are in is currently being occupied by forces from Praise Bob. Thus far, they have been arresting any one headed toward the senate, which are few people. All of us are in our homes and offices, waiting for this to pass.<br />
<br />
It also appears from this vantage point that all embassies are being respected. We are next to the Afslavistakistanian embassy, where troops have poured out and made their way to the senate. The embassy itself is not being attacked. However, on the street, the Eurekan troops are firing at Afslav troop. Troops from Praise Bob are largely being ignored by both sides, and they appear happy to be ignored.<br />
<br />
The MAD is in chaos as news of the nuclear holocaust spreads. In the sea, we can see that the Puppet States Fleet has moves its flags to half-staff. A possible acknowledgement of the nuclear attack. North of our headquarters and quite far from the senate, it appears that a fire has broken out in the city. We are unsure of the state of the FDMAD, but from the size of the plume and the gun-fire that peppers the air, it does not appear this will be put out any time soon.<br />
<br />
While those in Eureka may be dead, millions of their countrymen live on as conscripts of King Justin. How long until they take revenge is anyone’s guess. I only hope that they don’t take their anger out on more PNN personnel. Billions of innocents have died today, and if I see the dawn tomorrow, I will consider it to be a miracle. Jen, I want to say that I love you, and that God will watch over and protect you and our children.<br />

===The Pacific Government Celebrates Six Month Anniversary (Mar. 2, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-people-39-s-republic-of-the-pacific-celebrates-t1288.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Fireworks mark the celebration of the Pacific's government Six Month Anniversary''<br />
<br />
'''The People's Palace, Francos Spain Square, The Pacific'''. With a shot from Francos Spain's old shotgun in the People's Square, Unlimited announced the celebration of the People's Republic's six month anniversary as the sovereign government of The Pacific. Millions of citizens filled the square as parades of the People's militias walked through the street, followed by the Space Agency as well as the many displays of agricultural success. It was truly a pageant of the success that the Pacific has had since the inception of its most noble government.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic ascended as the second part of the Great Revolution led by the great Emperor, Francos Spain. As the Great Leader left the Region, the Revolution transitioned into the Republic, a government that is evolving to allow for all members of the region to participate in a true inspired form of civics and duty. The Republic has already seen great success in its infancy as being a world power throughout NationStates.<br />
<br />
In September of 2004, the Republic transitioned from the NPO while staving off attempts of infiltration and subversion of outside attacks. The Vanguard, Unlimited, ascended to the top of the government and mandated a new government should emerge, one which allows provincial governments to maintain control of their own jurisdictions.<br />
<br />
Today, we have seen not only stronger provincial governments, but the governors themselves also contribute to the laws of the Pacific within their own legislative body. Soon, the People will also choose their High Judge who shall maintain the Department of Justice and hear trials.<br />
<br />
The success does not stop there.<br />
<br />
The AELITA team conquered that which was thought could not be conqured. On February 6, 2005, Tar A stepped from the People's spacecraft and planted the Flag of the Pacific upon the surface of the Planet of Mars. Plans are in the works to develop Mars into a mining community and possibly a penal colony.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic also has six different militias that have been created. The New Duce's militia, Honorem et Libertas Militia, made up a large contingent that took over the Warzone Africa from the Rejected Realms Army. Not only was this a marked success for the People's militia, but it also secured excellent ties with The Youngworld Army and the Hellenic Guard.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic has also been involved in peace negotiations between the NPD and the NPU in the North Pacific. This marks an important recognition in the leadership of the Pacific government.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, all of the People have been blessed with a government that is always listening to serve its People. Truly, there is a real reason to celebrate in this Six Month Anniversary. We welcome all to help us recognize our past accomplishments and we look forward to marking further progress in our development!<br />

===The Pacific Olympiad Host Search Begins (Mar. 9, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/the-pacific-olympiad-host-search-begins-t1312.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
The Ministry of Culture Begins the Search for Which Province and Nation will Host the First Annual Pacific Olympiad!<br />
<br />
Today, in a highly anticipated announcement from the Ministry of Culture, the press was informed that Ministry officials would begin the official search for the host of the First Annual Pacific Olympiad.<br />
<br />
"We're very excited to have the selection process beginning," says Minister Sarda, "With the increased recent cultural activites in the Provinces themselves, we're hoping that we can galvanize the population which as much excitement as we feel here in the Ministry."<br />
<br />
East Pacifican cultural consultants have been employed by several independent commissions in the Pacific to offer their opinions on likely candidates. Initial reports suggest the winner of the Pacific Idol contest, and Mussolandia for it's recent sports victory, as potential nations.<br />
<br />
These first Olympic events, honoring the great Francos Spain's glorious rise to power as the founder of the NPO, are expected to draw enormous crowds to the host nation. Early estimates predict a crowd of more then three million people from around the region will make heavy attempts to observe the event. If nothing else, selection means an incredible economic boon for the host nation and province.<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Culture has issued a request that nations begin considering their pros, and begin the preparation of formal applications. The Ministry will also begin a questioning process of all the Governors, to determine which Province's nations will be considered for the final honor.<br />

===John Ashcroft Land Confirmed as High Judge! (Mar. 15, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/john-ashcroft-land-confirmed-as-high-judge-t1348.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''The Vanguard congratulates the new High Judge''<br />
<br />
Today, after a four day confirmation period, days of Senate and Assembly consideration, and the near month of rigorous testing in the Pacific Idol Contest... John Ashcroft Land was confirmed as the High Judge of the Pacific. The final vote was 16 in favor, and 5 opposed, while the Senate and Assembly approved his appointment almost unanimously.<br />
<br />
John Ashcroft Land, a devoted and loyal nation of the Pacific, and servant of the Revolution, began his career in the Pacific by answering Governor the New Duce's call to arms within his Province. Serving in the Honorem et Libertas Militia saw John Ashcroft Land rise to the post of the provincial Secretary of Defense. In the Ministry of Culture, Ashcroft also had the distinction of creating the first Pacific map, and receiving an appointment as Chief Cartographer of the Pacific. He has served with distinction in both offices, giving information and prime real-estate to fellow libertarians.<br />
<br />
And though Ashcroft leaves these posts behind, in favor of his new seat as the head of the newly reformed Pacific judiciary, his contributions will be remembered.<br />
<br />
Ashcroft will ascend to the position today, in front of his favorite statue, with his favorite tune playing in the background: "Let the Eagle Soar."<br />

'''Capital District, The North Pacific''': The North Pacific has been called the France of Nationstates: Once, it fielded a powerful army, but has since been conquered by a parcel delivery company, French pirates, the ADN, Lemurians, internal strife, and now, the North Pacific Directorate. Along the way, new forums have come and gone, players have joined and resigned, but the only thing that has been constant, is change. This article attempts to look at the current government of the North Pacific, the resistance movement that opposes it, and the outside organizations that have turned TNP into a prize to be won.<br />
<br />
The Rejected Realms Army<br />
<br />
On March 15th, the Rejected Realms Army allegedly sent troops into the North Pacific and endorsed 11 nations. This pushed some nations over the endorsement cap and some closer to Delegate Pixiedance’s (Moldavi’s) count. The North Pacific delegate then ejected several nations, and released a list of Rejected Realms Army members that were ejected. Crazy Girl, RRA general, denies that her army was in the North Pacific, and the only in TNP at the time was Stuey.<br />
<br />
High endorsement holders (Blackshear and Stars of the Sky) were asked to leave the region for one update to stop the attack. Both nations obliged, and have lost their endorsements.<br />
<br />
Regardless, in a time of decline, the North Pacific has grown by over 1000 nations in under a month. It is generally agreed that these nations can not all be from natural growth, so there are outside interests moving into the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The PRP-NoPac Summit<br />
<br />
The People’s Republic of the Pacific sponsored a Pacific-wide summit to try and resolve the issues between the North Pacific Directorate and its detractors in the region. Delegates from each Pacific and from the North Pacific Underground (now North Pacific Confederacy) meet to try and resolved the rift. The main issues of the summit were a return to democracy, and ending of the trials of traitors, deciding which forum would be the official forum, the amendment of the codex/constitution, and an end to censorship.<br />
<br />
While the summit had a rocky start, with a chasim between the two parties, and several representative switches from the NPC, common ground was found after NPC moderates PulpPhenom and Huma worked out a compromise that there would be delegate elections if the issue of regional security could be addressed.<br />
<br />
Phase Three<br />
<br />
The Minister, the head of the North Pacific Directorate, announced on March 18th that there would be an end to censorship on the North Pacific forums and that the user groups “trouble maker” and “opposition ambassador” would be the removed. The minister also announced that there would be delegate elections on September 17th. This would give virtually any nation in the region time to begin the process of meeting the requirements for delegate, which includes four months of service in the Regional Assembly and the gathering of some three-hundred odd endorsements. Voting will be done by the Regional Assembly, so these fifty nations will decide who shall lead the nation. While some moderate opposition leaders applauded the minister, others, such as Free4All and Romanoffia, who discount the election.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
This proposal only serves to grant the illusion of democracy, but it is much like Saddam Hussein being re-elected as leader over and over with 99% of the votes. It's only a democracy in name, and should not be agreed to by anyone who cares to live in freedom.<br />
<br />
Other nations, such as Tresville/CiscO, believe that change and better times can come from living under the Minister and creating change from within.<br />
<br />
Tresville wrote:<br />
We would not have to pledge Loyalty but we would have to recognize them. Those … months we can use to become active in the R[egional] A[ssembly] and help to make this a truely Democratic region. Lets not ignore the fact that we have larger numbers than the NPD and we should be a strong voice within the RA.<br />
<br />
The Spillover Effect<br />
<br />
The rest of the world has to worry about this tenuous situation, because North Pacific battles tend to affect her neighbors. Some blame the civil war in the Meritocracy due to the split of older and younger senators on the ideals of duality and neutrality. The events in the North Pacific brought these values to bear in the person of Ivan Moldavi, and may have lead to the Pebble’s incident that caused a rift in the government.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific is also at a crossroads. The United Democratic Pacific treaty is signed by the North, West, and South Pacifics. While the South has declared neutrality in the conflict, some entities in the West believe that they have the obligation to help the opposition and have a duty to support regime change in the North Pacific. Prime Minister Dilber has stated that no military action would take place until all diplomatic avenues are exhausted, namely, the PRP-NoPac summit. Whether the September elections are enough to appease the WP warhawks will be seen after grand assembly deliberations are complete.<br />
<br />
The Future<br />
<br />
While “democracy” has always been the watchword of the North Pacific, the minister is trying to bring forth “stability.” Pacific politics has always been a tough row to hoe, and with foreign troops supporting both sides of the conflict, it seems that the natives may be forgotten in the process. Hopefully, a peaceful, equitable solution can be found, and harmony can once again be found in this turbulent feeder.Capital District, The North Pacific: The North Pacific has been called the France of Nationstates: Once, it fielded a powerful army, but has since been conquered by a parcel delivery company, French pirates, the ADN, Lemurians, internal strife, and now, the North Pacific Directorate.

In a joint PNN and ENN exclusive, Lord Thistlebottom has been sworn in as the Meritocratic Confederacy Speaker. In a short ceremony today, Lord Thistlebottom, a long time friend of King Justin the Brave, spoke on the challenges facing the fledgling region.<br />
<br />
"We are facing many challenges. We face the challenge of proving we are relevant. We face the challenge of proving we have the guts and determination to stick around, and we have the challenge of growing stronger.<br />
<br />
In times such as this, all nations of the Confederacy must pull together, must ensure their actions are of good heart and motive, and put forth all their efforts to ensure this region does not become a graveyard for the luminaries of the meritocratic ideal.<br />
<br />
In such a case as this, Eureka will be the first to state: The Noble King's resources and skills are now at the complete disposal of the Assembly. Eureka will be first to state, categorically, that we will not see this region do anything other than prosper!"<br />
<br />
Making his statement to both Eurekan and Pacific News Network correspondents, Lord Thistlebottom made the stunning announcement that as of his acceptence of the Speakership, Eureka would cease debating in the chamber.<br />
<br />
"As I have initiated several bills now before the Assembly, it would not be proper for me to lead the charge. So, from this point Eureka's voice will fall silent, except in occasional circumstances.<br />
<br />
May the Confederacy prosper and grow. Eureka will do all it can to ensure that this happens."<br />

'''Francos Spain Park, The People's Palace.''' Under the canopy of Cherry Blossoms and Mango Trees, Senator Warrior Thorin announced that elections for provinces will resume this coming week.<br />
<br />
"Fortunately, our governors and candidates have been patient as we have had to deal with my personal issues. Today, I announce the resumption of the promise that the Senate and our Vanguard made that you, the people, will choose the leadership of your beloved provinces," Warrior Thorin noted amidst a round of applause.<br />
<br />
Province Aurora Borealis (#-C) will have Sarda running as Daedalus will be vacating his seat. This will be an interesting event as Sarda has been governing Tantus Pacificus since the first elections.<br />
<br />
Tantus Pacificus (T-Z) will have Karpathos running. One of his platforms concerns having several fountains of Ouzo flowing in public.<br />
<br />
Quotidie Maiestas (Q-S) will also have Sedarva running for governor, a former governor.<br />
<br />
The other provinces will have their elections next month. Victors will assume their duties on the 1st of May.<br />

The Pacific Senate hereby requests that all Pacific citizens refrain from going to Alliance Defense Network (ADN, or regions thereof) forums, regions or chatrooms with anything but the most benign intentions. If they do go to these places, citizens of the People's Republic shall conduct themselves with civility and decorum at all times; keeping to OOC, RP or civil and relaxed in-game discussion. While opinion is always welcomed, citizens are reminded that foreign policy is the domain of the Senate, and and as such, any threat, attack or slander will be dealt with immediatly by them.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, citizens of the Republic should avoid posting anything of an inflammatory nature on the forums of the republic; what is 'inflammatory' will be determined by administration on a case by case basis.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network now requires the same of its citizens, and all sides hope that the unfortunate events of late can be put behind us for a better era of peace and understanding.<br />

<br />
Gatesville is becoming more of a empire than initially thought. Gates the God and Rose-Colored Glasses envisioned a grand empire to rival the dastardly UN, but it was envisioned to be an empire in name and grandeur only. About 2 months ago, the nations of Gatesville put into place what would effectively expand it's own horizons and finally reach a practical future for the vision that Gates and RCG had, a true Gatesville Empire. In completing thus, we do not foresee our abilities as effective military aids in the future while maintaining a working franchise system.<br />
<br />
In doing this, it is our prime goal not to lose the friends we have made in this organization. We hope to be very close to all of you, as you have been extremely polite and cordial towards us these last months. We greatly appreciate it and hope that this will not ruin anything with any of the regions in the Union.<br />
<br />
And it is with this, we, the nations and High Council of Gatesville, do hereby formally secede from the Union of Sovereigns Alliance.''<br />
<br />
Union members were surprised by the news, as there was no forewarning or grievances listed. Essentially, it appears that Gatesville, the largest player-create region in the world, felt that it could not maintain its Union obligations and complete its mission of destroying the United Nations and repealing its socialist laws.<br />
<br />
Despite their leaving, Gatesville has insisted that it would stay close to Union members, and the Pacific is currently in Bi-lateral talks aimed at improving Pacifican-Gatevillian relations.<br />
<br />
Comrade Mammothistan said to a leaving Gates “I am sorry to see you go friend. Should you decide to rethink your decision, you can always have your seat back.” While we will miss our allies’ participation in the Union, the bonds of brotherhood created there will never cease.<br />

<br />
''The statue of Minister Moldavi being removed from Cathyy Circle''<br />
<br />
Capital City, The North Pacific: First it was s2, then s4, and now s9. Once again, the North Pacific has regrouped under a new forum. With Insane Power at the helm of Pixiedance, he seems to be moving the NDP in a new direction. Namely, he has declared the NPD dissolved. In an official statement, the new delegate made this announcement:<br />
<br />
''I hereby announce the end of the NPD.<br />
<br />
The NPD was a creation of Moldavi. I hope that you are beginning to realise that I do not wish TNP to continue to be run in the manner that Moldavi wanted.<br />
<br />
The Government will be expanded, to include fairly elected officials. The RA will welcome all nations from The North Pacific, that have been active for atleast two weeks on either S2 or S4 (or here) excluding Ministers.<br />
<br />
The Government is now simply The North Pacific Government.<br />
<br />
Freedom of speech is totally acceptable and I will allow one or more opposition Governments to be created. Although I ask that all members of any Government keep posts civil.''<br />
<br />
Indeed, there is room for an “opposition government” on the boards, and there seems to be an interest in ending the strife in the North Pacific. NPC members, however, were guarded in their optimism.<br />
<br />
Heft wrote:<br />
That's great, it really is. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic here (for once).<br />
<br />
But a warning. If you want this to end, you can't simply install your own new government. That's kind of one of the biggest causes of this feud. Also, you'll have to realize that you are hardly the most acceptable delegate or head of government for many of us in the region, whether you think you deserve your reputation or not, you do have it.<br />
<br />
Another snafu in the works is that the forum moderator for the NPC, Flemingovia, has refused the position. At present, there is no other post in the NPC forum section.<br />
<br />
Something of interest on both forums is The Flemingovia plan. It is a roadmap toward peace that involves dissolving all governments and starting over. While the new forum is a fresh start, the North Pacific Government (NPG) has not dissolved, and will continue with ministries. However, all nations are now allowed in the Regional assembly.<br />
<br />
Whether the new delegacy of Insane Power will lead to a long lasting peace or more strife, you can be sure that PNN will be covering it.<br />

''Illegal Immigrants and Terrorists moving across the boarder''<br />
<br />
BPI, The Pacific: The Pacific Security Services first started noticing large quantities of suspicious looking puppets entering the Pacific on Sunday, and they continued moving in for 24 hours until Monday turning it into a full scale puppet invasion; totaling a number of over 400 puppets. Sources within the Alliance Defense Network (ADN) quickly came forward to tell of their organization's part in the attack. When confronted with these claims, however, they were promptly denied by ADN Secretary of State Blackbird and ADN Deputy Director Unistrut, who declared that their organization wasn't even aware that there was an operation taking place in the Pacific. Contrary to this denial, the Bureau of Pacific Intelligence has managed to obtain the following screenshot, which clearly shows ADN Director Pope Hope herself ordering nations into the Pacific:<br />
<br />
[[File:2005-04-28_Pacific_Press_Image.webp]]<br />
<br />
Nations were asked to start moving as many nations as possible into the Pacific, with other unsuspecting nations being asked to "help the Pacific reach 8000". As well as this damning evidence, it was witnessed that many known ADN collaborators were moving all their puppets into the Pacific simultaneously. When questioned about their actions, they claimed either that they just happened to feel like moving, or that their reasons were classified.<br />
<br />
All of this only goes to show one thing: Bismarck was right, "Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied".<br />

<br />
''Warrior Thorin takes questions from the press''<br />
<br />
'''Francos Spain Plaza, The People's Palace.''' Two governors were officially announced today amidst controversy in April's elections. Senator Warrior Thorin addressed several questions concerning the recent campaign run by 1838.<br />
<br />
Sedarva assumes the governor office of Province Quotidie Maiestas. This Sedarva's second stint as governor, and he immediately went to work without even setting up his office. At the inaugural, Sedarva noted that, "The people's confidence in me has given me a direct sense that I will work hard this term. I plan to restore the passion of the Revolution in my province and continue in the forward direction of the Republic. Hail Franco!"<br />
<br />
Karpathos, the lovable Greek soldier, has assumed the governor office of Province Tantus Pacificus. Karpathos noted to one reporter, "I won? Well, free ouzo for everyone in my province!"<br />
<br />
Although reporters were interested in the new governors, most questions concerned the issue concerning 1838. "We have strict guidelines," Warrior Thorin stated. "I think it's very obvious what we ask our candidate to do. If 1838 honestly forgot to complete the application, then I can understand that. But it's absolutely unfair to the voters if you do not disclose all of your identities."<br />
<br />
One reporter noted 1838's activity in the Pacific as being seemingly loyal to the people of the Republic. "Yes, 1838 has been a good citizen. Yet, the application process is strict for a reason. I would like to re-iterate the Vanguard's statement in that 1838 is free to re-apply and run again in the next election as long as 1838 makes a full disclosure of all allegiences."<br />
<br />
"As disappointing as this event has been, the AoG is currently working on a resolution to ensure governance of Province Aurora Borealis. Comrade Daedalus will be appointed Regent of the province as long as the AoG and Senate approve.<br />
<br />
"We should, however, celebrate the continued efforts of the people of the Pacific to choose their leaders without outside interference. The Senate's continual vigilance and the People's voice are what makes the Republic so great. Long live the Republic, Long Live our Sovereignty, Hail Franco! Hail Unlimited, our Vanguard!"<br />
<br />

He leaves this game as a Compulsory Consumerist State, with good civil rights, a frightening economy, and rare political freedoms. As is the custom burial of Pacific Senators, Black Adder will spend his final moments in the Rejected Realms. A UN member, a diplomat, a senator, a Franco fighter (both for and against), a philosopher, and a legend. We say goodbye to the People’s Republic of the Pacific Senator of Diplomacy, Black Adder. He always had a cunning plan…<br />

''Above: Union forces face the pirate vessels''<br />
<br />
Northern Ireland: The Union of Sovereigns showed the NS world what real defending is all about: slipping in quietly at the request of natives to endorse a native nation and oust an invading delegate. Textbook.<br />
<br />
At very short notice from Keltic Mystery, forces from Ireland (recently admitted to the alliance), The Pacific and SECO moved into the region to endorse native Griswalds. The region was being controlled by pirates of “the Jolly Roger”. Many pirate puppets were active at the time, yet the delegate failed to make a stand. Northern Ireland had enjoyed friendly relations with the Pacific, before falling into a lapse of inactivity and confusion which was also promoted by ABI dissolution.<br />
<br />
UoS forces were helped by a number of RLA nations and USK nations, noticeably XhaDam and The Mighty Pump.<br />
<br />
Forces from other parts of the NS world were also present, each under diverse intentions. Pacific Defenders attempted an incursion of their own using a non-native lead, but lacked numbers to achieve their goal. They did not intend to cooperate with Union forces. A similar case was that of Great Britain and Ireland, a former protectorate of the UoS, whose foreign policy stance on invasions is uncertain. They moved in too early and in small numbers.<br />
<br />
It is believed newly elected delegate Griswalds will clear the Factbook entry today and release an official statement from Northern Ireland thanking the parties who helped the region out. Now comes the hardest task, rebuilding the region.<br />

<br />
Giant Cheese Weasels wrote:<br />
Due to their breach of alliance with Red Liberty Alliance we have issued a formal statement to the ADN Command asking that they apologize to the RLA for their actions, if they refuse the EAA Central Command and Board of Representatives will consider a termination of alliance with the ADN.

<br />
The declaration, made on May 14th, came after the EAA and the RLA finalized an executive treaty between the two alliances. Both defender organizations have worked with each other extensively in the past. The ADN could loose even more allies and defender unity appears to be drying up. Currently, there has not yet been a response by the Alliance Defense Network to the statement.

===CIVIL WAR IN WEST PACIFIC (May 16, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/civil-war-in-west-pacific-t1698.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''Soldiers from Stars of the Sky cross the boarder to support Regent Minineenee''<br />
<br />
Administration Island, The West Pacific: In a shocking turn of events, TWP delegate ZetaOne, having just won re-election, has ejected three long time members of the West Pacific without stating cause. Biteland, Gosstoepia, and Kholdstare, all subscribers of the West Pacific ad service, were ejected from the region today. The West Pacific government has been scrambling, and took action against the delegate.<br />
<br />
In a meeting of the Grand Assembly, Prime Minister Dilber initiated impeachment proceedings against the Delegate. In a unanimous vote of 9 – 0, the delegate has been stripped of his rank. The Regent of the West Pacific, Minineenee, has the next most endorsements and members are unendorsing ZetaOne and trying to boost the Regent to the delegacy.<br />
<br />
On the forum front, the Prime Minster is also taking action:<br />
<br />
Dilber wrote:<br />
Until we know what's going on, I have no recourse but to call a very temporary State of Emergency. The government will be operating as usual, especially the Council and GA.<br />
<br />
As current Senior Admin on the boards, I have removed Zeta's Admin Access, and he is at a members mask.<br />
<br />
I must say I must appologize for being at a loss at what is happening. However, I will do my best to help us fix this. I ask that as a region we all stick together, and we will get through this. TWP has been through tough times before, and we know how to fight.<br />
<br />
With that out of the way, I do have a request. The Constitution states that we all have a right to choose who or who not to endo. As such, I can not force anyone not in the military to do something. However, I must request that we all unendorse Zeta, and endorse Neenee. I honestly hope he will not kick her, as he has not done so so far.<br />
<br />
We must stick together. Our government is only as strong as we are. Please, help support us.<br />
<br />
Dilber,<br />
<br />
Prime Minister of the West Pacific<br />
<br />
However, while Dilber is an admin on the forums, ZetaOne owns the website, and while Dilber may be the leader of the West Pacific, ZetaOne has control of the eject button. Thus far, the regent has not been touched, and foreign forces are moving into the West Pacific to secure the delegacy for the regent.<br />
<br />
The West Pacific has a treaty with the Allied States of EuroIslanders, and Dilber activated the Mutual Defense Clause. Red Liberty Alliance forces have also been mobilized. North Pacific Confederate member were also seen in the West, expressing solidarity with government.<br />
<br />
As of 10:38 Pacific time, Delegate ZetaOne stands at 573 endorsements, and Regent Minineenee holds 569. With only a four endorsement difference, if ZetaOne took the night off, he will most certainly loose his 115 day vigil as delegate.<br />
<br />
*BREAKING NEWS*<br />
<br />
The regent has surpassed the delegate. Barring any more outside influence or the ejection button, Minineenee will become the next delegate of the West Pacific.<br />
<br />
*Breaking News*<br />
<br />
ZetaOne has announce that the "rouge delegate bit" was all an act. It was to make sure that the West Pacific could survive a tyrant delegate. How did the West Pacific do?<br />
<br />
ZetaOne wrote:<br />
You get a C for reaction time, and A for effort and an A+ for keeping it together.<br />
<br />
Apparently, the delegate was planning on leaving Nationstates, and wanted to go out with style (and the activation of several mutual defense treaties). With respect to who knew about this crazy scheme, no one was really in the know.<br />
<br />
ZetaOne wrote:<br />
Minineenee knew in advance that I was leaving NS. Biyah, Dilber, and a few others knew I was pondering over it. Minineenee was told about four days ago to start endorsing nations I was going to be leaving, maybe not permanently, but I was going to be leaving and could not finish my term.<br />
<br />
Biyah knew in advanced that the people were going to be ejected. It was going to be a good test to the region; I opted not to ban people from the forum. It should of made you all wonder why they heck I didn’t.<br />
<br />
Once again, the ban list of the West Pacific has been cleared, and the people look forward to being represented by their government and living under their delegate-elect, Minineenee.<br />

''Unistrut, before the ADN assembly, condemning TPC''<br />
<br />
The Red Factions, The Proletariat Coalition: In a move expected by all parties, The Proletariat Coalition, backbone of the Red Liberty Alliance, has left the Alliance Defense Network. The spat between the two organizations was started when Unistrut exposed an RLA/TPC spy (the Red Factions). The Red Factions had risen to the field marshal of the DEN, a notorious raider group. Unistrut felt that Red Faction had not done enough, and exposed him, as some would say, out of spite.<br />
<br />
Upon the announcement of the withdrawl, Unistrut had the following to say:<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
Some might say that the leadership of The Proletariat Coalition were incompetent for having such poorly managed intelligence assets, and that said mismanagement caused incalculable damage to innocent neutral regions. Some might say that. Including me. So fare thee well, TPC. Stick your outrage where the sun doesn't shine.<br />
<br />
Unistrut went on to then attack all leftist nations and regions:<br />
<br />
"If there is a failing on ADN's part, and particularly my own, in this situation it is that we haven't explained our reasoning or even tried to counter the outrageous rhetoric that Eurosoviets and his crew of turd slinging monkeys have been propagating. Let them play their BS political games... I swear the next time I have to deal with a another radical leftist political player masquerading as a defender will be too soon and one more time too many. I've really had it. Offense intended to all who would take offense. You know who you are."<br />
<br />
The Red Faction stated his reasoning behind his actions in a well-drafted explanation of his actions:<br />
<br />
My prime objective as RLA agent has always been to, in order of priority:<br />
<br />
Protect RLA interests and regions<br />
<br />
Protect EAA regions<br />
<br />
Protect ADN regions<br />
<br />
Undermine DEN Intelligence operations abroad<br />
<br />
Keep a firm control over DEN troopers and drive them away from our allies<br />
<br />
Build myself up a reputation which would allow me to know of every single Invader operation, move and deployement in every corner of NationStates.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With DEN being fully controlled by RLA Intelligence, we had them contained, under our control and we made sure our interests were left unthreatened. Further to this, I have contributed greatly with Intelligence to the ABI, EAA and to a small extent, the ADN but first and firemost, RLA has been kept safe and invaders kept at bay from our regions.Under my time not a single crash carried out by DEN troopers on the RLA suceeded and every time an ADN target or EAA target was brought up on the table, I diverted attention and forcefully made them abandon it. Not a single raid on such regions has ever been succesful under my time. Ever.<br />
<br />
The main qualm between the two is that the Alliance Defense Network wanted to protect the entire world, (ie neutral regions, regions who don’t want ADN troops on their soil, and regions who never asked for ADN support). The RLA and Red Faction had a different philosophy. Red Faction’s job was to primarily protect treaty partners and control the DEN. Since The Red Faction did not put the ADN, and their ideology first, the high command decided that he shouldn’t be there at all. This event shows clearly the ideological split between the RLA and ADN, which led to the break between the two organizations.<br />
<br />
“Defender unity” has been the catch-phrase of defender groups, but when defenders have two fundamentally different Modus Operandi, there can only be dissidence. Monte Ozarka, TNP refugee, understands this and had a call for reason:<br />
<br />
Monte Ozarka wrote:<br />
All of this stems from a difference in defender policy. Could we please leave it at that?<br />
<br />
Also, the RLA is not evil. TPC is not evil. The ADN is not evil. Select people is various organizations do stuff that is controversial. The overarching goals of any of these three orgs are not oriented toward being evil<br />
<br />
Unistrut responded "No, Monte Ozarka, sorry. I can't just leave it at that. It isn't anywhere near that easy or simple."<br />

''A small child being rescued from tyranny by soldiers from Nak Nak''<br />
<br />
Warzone Europe, Karpathos: In another striking victory, the People’s Militia of the Pacific, along with soldiers from the Union of Sovereigns and The YoungWorld, liberated another Warzone. PRP personnel surfed regions and Warzones, waiting for the pristine moment to strike Europe. The New Duce, elected commander of the People’s Militia, has truly done his region a great service. “With 16 nations participating on a days notice for complicated maneuvers and dynamic orders, the People’s Militia will certainly be ready to defend our homeland and treaty partners.”<br />
<br />
The People’s Militia grew out of the Union of Sovereigns treaty, where the Pacific would be required to defend other regions from foreign aggressors. The Militia is strictly only used for the purposes of defending our treaty partners and the Republic. A clear example of this was the Pacific’s noticeable absence from the West Pacific during the ZetaOne ejections. The Pacific currently does not have a mutual aid pact with the West Pacific, and thus, the senate could not order the militia into the West to endorse the regent. This strict protocol ensures that the People’s Militia will not turn into invaders, but remain strictly a defense organization.<br />
<br />
Sir Paul, Senator of Media Affair, noted in a press conference that “the Union of Sovereigns has provided the Pacific with an invaluable source of security. Our treaty partners have defended the Pacific countless times, and now, it is our turn to defend our allies from aggression and tyranny.”<br />

''USSR soldiers stage "invasion" of Chechnya''<br />
<br />
Moscovy Marines, USSR: Much to the NS world’s amusement (and to the embarrassment of others), the USSR invasion turned to be a fake; a plot devised to fool some of their enemies.<br />
<br />
The scenario was designed similarly to that of Ukraine, even if it was also constructed by some miscalculation along the way. Firstly, USSR forces under the command of General Moscovy crossed the Chechnyan border and captured the region, claiming it as a colony. This happened under a carefully controlled medium, since USSR citizens had created puppets in Chechnya to play the role of natives, arguing in favor and against USSR intervention.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that many of the natives welcomed the USSR occupation, on the 17th, an assorted group of defenders attempted to oust Moscovy, yet failed to get organized. It was on the 21st, however, that a large group of nations entered the region. The Soviet High Command was fully aware of this plan and organized it so they would endorse “The Forsaken Village,” a puppet of Moltar from the USSR.<br />
<br />
Once update was done, The Forsaken Village surprisingly ejected all the nations who had endorsed him and posted a WFE revealing his USSR affiliation and claiming revenge for the events of Ukraine. The USSR had an account to settle with those whom they refer to as “devaders”.<br />
<br />
Ukraine was a region founded by Francos Spain that was captured by the ADN once a process similar to that of Chechnya had been set in motion. After the "liberation," Ukraine was passworded, and now has two inactive nations.<br />
<br />
Now as delegate, The Forsaken Village passworded the region, but forgot to send it to the rest of the natives, assuming that an offsite forum availability for it would suffice. The nation was rightly deleted and the password lifted.<br />
<br />
It was then when a further approximation was achieved to the Ukraine scenario, where a TITO lead had also been deleted for griefing. The world expected perhaps another UoS-ADN showdown and a race for delegateship, but it was not to be. Moscovy revealed that he had created the founder of region Chechnya, Chechen Grozny. The founding nation was resurrected and the ADN lead, along with all of his endorsements, was ejected.<br />
<br />
Despite unexpected turns in the road, Moscovy claims the USSR achieved their objective: "There have been many scandals concerning the inadequacy of devader intel services, this further highlights them."<br />

East Pacific Delegate Loop, who has long fought for a united forum, hopes that this will fulfill his desire for a more united Pacific. “Over the last few months, we have seen regions fall apart from internal strife, from the Meritocracy to the North Pacific. By better understanding our fellow Pacificans, we should be able to avoid such conflicts in the future.”<br />
<br />
Caer Rialis, delegate of the South Pacific and landlord of the forum, noted that he “looked forward to the positive discourse that is sure to occur” and he “welcomes our brothers and sisters from the North and West to take part in our shared community.”<br />
<br />
All in all, a glorious day for the Pacifics.<br />

===Peace, Order and Good Government (June 21, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/peace-order-and-good-government-t1919.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By I.F. Stone<br />
<br />
'''Peace, Order and Good Government'''<br />
<br />
With these words a dynamic pact was formed between the world's two ancient colossi. The Pacific, the birthplace of the world, and The South Pacific, the first Pacificus to forge a recorded civilization. The South Pacific overwhelmingly passed a resolution praising the People's Republic and highlighting the two regions' continual commitment to peace and friendship. Unlimited, Comrade Vanguard, reciprocated the announcement on behalf of The Pacific this morning. <br />
<br />
'''A Statement of Mutal Respect Between the People's Republic of The Pacific and The South Pacific'''<br />
<br />
The South Pacific and the People's Republic of the Pacific stand together in friendship, and in support and defense of our shared goals and values.<br />
<br />
Our values are peace, order, and good government. Our goals are the protection and promotion of these virtues through peaceful means, and the defense of the sovereignty that allows them with all the power at our hands.<br />
<br />
This declaration signifies the bond of our two regions in our Greater Pacific home, and our desire to further our common interests. We pledge to stand together against all forces of tyranny and imperialism, to protect and preserve the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of all the nations of our regions, and the governments that govern both.<br />
<br />
May the People's Republic of the Pacific and the South Pacific be forever joined in solidarity, and may all regions of the Nation States world, great and small, join us in strengthening and expanding good government and opportunity for all peoples.<br />
<br />
The Statement was primarily authored by Vice President Fudgie. The iconic phrase of "peace, order and good good Government" comes from Canada. The Council of the South Pacific, the region's deliberative body, engaged in a month of discussion over the proposal which met little opposition. It had broad support of the Cabinet. More telling are the numbers: in a high-turnout decision ninety percent of the Council voted in favor.<br />
<br />
'''What it is and what it isn't'''<br />
<br />
It is not an alliance. The People's Republic's adoption of the same statement does not mean that both are bound together in perpetuity. It is also not a formal treaty. To the practical-minded this is a nonevent, but to idealists and believers in 'soft power' touted by thinkers as Sir Paul and Deng Xixian its significance cannot be understated.<br />
<br />
It is a formal declaration by both parties of their feelings for each other and their willingness to work together in the future. It is the kind of milk-and-cookies legislation that helps make stronger friends and forge future unions. Southland VP Fudgie explained, "this is not a formal treaty or alliance, rather a statement of friendship and support, and a declaration of friendship."<br />
<br />
'''The South Pacific takes a NAP'''<br />
<br />
The proclamation is rooted in the Pacific Cooperation Organization and during its many 'fireside chats' initiated by PCO chairman 1 Infinite Loop, and saw the idea's development grow during the intense cooperation needed to make the PCO's flagship project, the shared forum (link), work.<br />
<br />
But its history goes back farther than that. The South and central Pacifics have been on good terms ever since the Non Aggression Pact (link) was signed last Fall, and re-ratified this Spring. The Statement ratified Monday echoes the NAP's opening:<br />
<br />
''[The South Pacific and The Pacific] recognizing each other as the legitimate Governments of their respective regions, have entered into the present agreement in accordance with the following five principles: Mutual respect for sovereignty, non-aggression, non-interference into each others internal affairs, equality, and peaceful coexistence.''<br />
<br />
Circumstances have changed since then. The South, West and North were joined together under the United Democratic Pacifics and the NAP was a (gladly made) warm ending to a cold war. It was logicial conclusion of talks between Francos Spain and LadyRebels following a mini-war over a year ago.<br />
<br />
Now the North has been effectively neutralized for the time being, without any clear voice as coups are re-occurring and the former Community has been stomped. The West has been quietly sidelined from Pacific politics as its government continues to practice unilateralism, and the UDP has been superseded by the PCO. The once demurred East Pacific and PRP are now the champions of Pacific Unity. <br />
<br />
"I think we need to face facts... the PRP is not the NPO. They have been extremely helpful to us ever since the NAP. In fact, they have been helpful to all the Feeder regions since that time."<br />
-Caer Rialis<br />
<br />
'''Peace in our time'''<br />
<br />
Today the People's Republic and the South Pacific are very close friends. The majority of the Pacific's Senators have strong ties with the Southlands. Many residents of either side hold dual citizenship in the other. Caer Rialis sends Comrade Mammothistan telegrams on occasion (it is rumored they are appreciated). The Hall of Justice now hosts the South's superheroes, who have been freed from the villainous Dilber's hypno-ray, are valuable members of the SuperFriends (link).<br />
<br />
Unlimited was reportedly "satisfied" with the statement's outcome. Rumor has it he almost cracked a smile, although PNN has found no reliable evidence. Comrade Mammothistan was "content". Warrior Thorin was quoted as saying, "I am extremely pleased with the work of both of our regions in friendship in learning that diplomacy and communication are always preferred alternatives to war, and our shared progress in the common cause of Peace." <br />
<br />
'''Final thought'''<br />
<br />
"I think this Statement only makes de jure what has previously only been de facto."<br />
<br />
And that's how it all works out for today kids. Enjoy your Tuesday.<br />

===Summer Has Arrived in the Pacific! (June 26, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/summer-has-arrived-in-the-pacific-t1951.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''The New Duce's Secret Barbeque Rub!''<br />
<br />
'''Poskrebyshev National Park, The Pacific.''' Now that the month of June has arrived, the great Pacific citizens can rejoice! After a harsh winter in which much of the region had many feet of snow, the sun has melted away and the beaches have once again presented themselves for the hardworking citizens to relax.<br />
<br />
Comrade Senator Mammothistan heralded in the summer with the Pacific annual barbeque contest (he finished second in the hottest chili contest, behind The New Duce's Militia Red One recipe).<br />
<br />
Along with the summer is the Pacific Major League baseball season. The 30 team league is expected to draw more fans this year than last year.<br />
<br />
Many festivals are planned for this summer:<br />
<br />
The "Pig-Pickin' Bluegrass and Vodka Festival" will be held from June 27th to June 30th at Poskrebyshev National Park. Come to the festival and sample the best vodka produced this winter throughout the Republic and feast on the pig and bluegrass music.<br />
<br />
The Fine Arts Festival shall take place from July 1 through the 7th at Francos Spain Square. Featured this year shall be Unlimited (as maestro) and his Symphony of the Republic. Rumors have it that the East and South Pacific will send some of their finest musicians as well in this year's event, and Dilber from the West Pacific is expected to bring his baritone sax as well.<br />
<br />
The First Annual "Pacific River Raft Race and Rock Festival" takes place from July 8th to July 10th. Participants will arrive on July 8th with their handmade rafts and float down InfernoIce River while a carnival takes place along the western bank.<br />
<br />
The Great Pacific Fair takes place from August 1 - 14th. Come see the pig races, eat some of the finest foods of the Pacific region, and ride the many rides built right here in the Pacific. A live jousting tournament headed by Senator Warrior Thorin will also take place.<br />
<br />
The festive summer is drawn to a close with the People's Festival, which begins September 1st through the 15th. This celebration of the creation of the Republic shall have re-enactments of the great Revolution of Francos Spain and solemn memorial to the Father of the Revolution.<br />
<br />
"These festivals are the way we give thanks to the great people of the Republic," noted the Vanguard, Unlimited. All festivals are free to the citizens of the Pacific and their guests. All hostile to the Republic will instead be asked to go to the Rejected Realms and visit Kandarin's Annual Rock Picking Festival (guaranteed to be a hoot, I hear).<br />

===Pierconium Apointed Minister of Justice (July 18, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/pierconium-apointed-minister-of-justice-t2116.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
''The Minister of Justice, fulfilling the promise that “I’ll be back”''<br />
<br />
Fortress Moldavi, Pierconium: With the confirmation vote of the Assembly of Governors official, Senator of the Delegacy commissioned the first Minister of Justice of the Pacific on the Grand Balcony of Castle Moldavi in front of thousands of applauding Pierconiums. “We knew that this day would come, when the empire would again return to prominence in the Pacific!” a national overcome with joy announced. This comes at the heals of the resignation of the previous High Judge of the Pacific, John Ashcroft Land and the new legislation passed in the scandal’s wake. Unlimited noted that “The Pacific is dynamic, and the Senate and AoG have taken measures to ensure that future indiscretions shall not happen.”<br />
<br />
The Pacific Underground, a group committed to the reformation / overthrow of the Republic, is expected to opposed the appointment. Pierconium was a central figure in the North Pacific instability crisis started one year ago by UPS Rail. When delegate Cathyy grew weary from the weight of the North Pacific delegacy, she handed the delegate nation Pixiedance to then Senator Pierconium’s control. This violated the official Pacific stance of neutrality, and the Senator was decommissioned by court-martial in the Superior Court. After forming the North Pacific Directorate, Pixiedance then transferred to Insane Power, a member of the NPD. According to NPD officials, this move was intended to create stability in the region that would not happen as long as Pierconium held the delegacy. Later, Insane Power announced the dissolution of the NPD, thereby setting up the now defunct North Pacific Government. This caused a falling out with Pierconium, leading to the declassification of NPD documents.<br />
<br />
All the while, the former senator maintained his citizenship in the Pacific, and after his term as The North Pacific Delegate, dissolved his home region of New Sparrow and devoted his energies to the Republic. Pierconium was repentant of his actions, and became a valuable and unsung member of the Ministry of Security and the BPI, along with advancing the culture and industry of the Pacific.<br />
<br />
The Republic has long had a history of forgiveness. More than half the senators at one point opposed the Pacific government, only to realize the folly of their ways, commit themselves to the ideals of the revolution, and progress the Republic forward. Pierconium has proven himself a knowledgeable of the law and a capable judge. He came to the Pacific in a manner not of anger or spite, but of reconciliation, respect, and repentance. Pierconium’s example shows that the spirit of mercy and reconciliation established by Franco lives on, and that the light of the revolution shines bright over the Pacific.<br />

===Rejected Realms Rejects Democracy? (May 23, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/rejected-realms-rejects-democracy-t1749.html</ref>===<br />
<br />
By Sir Paul and PNN Staff<br />
<br />
Kandarin, The Rejected Realms: The Underworld is a rough place. It has been called a home for the homeless, and is the last refuge of the political refugees. However, despite this ejection-free zone, delegate Kandarin has managed to hold onto power. He has been in office, at the time of this writing, 237 days. The only reason for this lapse in delegacy was the bug that also affected Loop’s delegacy, and a three day loss of the delegacy to Carinthe. Effectively, only Loop, Unlimited, and Kandarin are the only feeder delegates who have been able to remain in power for any length of time.<br />
<br />
However, this lack of changing of the guard in the underworld has created a desire, in some, for an opposition party. Drunken Conquerors has tried to start such a party, and is pushing not for the delegacy, but for change. <br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors wrote:<br />
Kandarin is a good person; however he sits perched atop a mountain of political inbreeding that has become totalitarian in nature. There was no alternative to government in the RR- true; one cannot be ejected. But a dissident can be mocked, ignored, shunned, and defamed into silence as well.<br />
<br />
Kandarin is also supported by several non-natives. Many armies are friendly with Kandarin, and have standing orders to endorse him in the Rejected Realms, until they are needed on maneuvers. This has created the feeling, according to some, that the Rejected Realms is not controlled by the natives, but by foreign armies. This claim, however, has been refuted by the Deputy Director of the Alliance Defense Network, Unistrut.<br />
<br />
Unistrut wrote:<br />
Oh and, prop up? We haven't even sent our regional militaries in to support him against your invasion yet. You'll see his endorsements double overnight if need be.<br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors has also accused members of the Rejected Realms and the foreign armies from interfering with his bid for an opposition party.<br />
<br />
Drunken Conquerors wrote:<br />
However, some of his supporters have been quite terrible towards me in this game, regarding my ideas about politics. I have received TG's, as well as stern lectures when I tried to express my ideas to members of the ADN; rife with ridicule and insult.<br />
<br />
Kandarin explains why DC is treated the way he is:<br />
<br />
Kandarin wrote:<br />
So far, in the course of the region's 2-year history, about 2-3 dozen people have come into the region and began running for Delegate upon their arrival. Quick examinations of their background and their actions afterwards have in fact shown that not one, not two, not a dozen, but almost all of these individuals has been backed by invaders or otherwise been a scheme by some other region to take over. This is not propaganda, it's historical fact. RR endorsement-swappers, when they get enough endorsements, have had a consistent history of then calling in the invading army they have waiting just over the horizon.<br />
<br />
Standard tactics include a jumble of loudly vocal supporters who have suspiciously new nations and ringing condemnations of the existing system as tyranny. So the reason the ADN is so hostile to you is that you look exactly like the invader spies we've seen so many times before.<br />
<br />
Indeed, Unistrut provided, at DC's request, IP screenshots from the ADN forums that DC is connected to Twins of Hearts and Chickedeli. While the ADN claims that DC is an invader, he continues to maintain his innocence, citing the numerous invader nations that he has helped delete. He maintains his call for full democracy.<br />
<br />
However, the delegate also claims that democracy does not work in a feeder region, but instead it is better to have a trusted person in charge than to have an unknown tyrant.<br />
<br />
Kandarin wrote:<br />
A pure democracy can exist in Nationstates, but not in a feeder region. It has been tried many times, each time the region was either conquered and pillaged or barely escaped destruction. In a feeder region democracy is always hijacked. It is better to have someone you can trust than the person with the most charming smile and the wittiest endorsement-telegram. Ask the South Pacificans, again, about El Sabah Nur. Ask the North Pacificans about Great Bight. Ask the West Pacificans about the time that they discovered the week before the election that one of the main candidates had other motives.<br />
<br />
Despite this, opposition fever may have hit the Rejected Realms. Last Hope, a nation with more than 5 billion, posted his request for support in removing the “tyrant” Kandarin.<br />
<br />
Last Hope wrote:<br />
5 hours ago The Overpopulated Hemisphere of Last Hope "What has Kandarin done for me lately?" The answer, fellow residents, is likely to be "Nothing," for without any viable political opposition, the nation of Kandarin grows lazy and complacent.<br />
<br />
Many of you will be contacted shortly to ask you to withdraw your endorsement from Kandarin and endorse an alternative, such as myself or Drunken Conquerors. Please give this your serious consideration!<br />
<br />
Even if you wish Kandarin's reign to continue, please consider also endorsing an alternative. So long as Kandarin rules without any hope of challenge, we do not have democracy in The Rejected Realms, but tyranny.<br />
<br />
This push comes not from any "alliance" or group -- my nation has no affiliation and no agenda other than to keep Kandarin honest, and to ensure The Rejected Realms has the representation it deserves--that YOU deserve.<br />
<br />
--Last Hope<br />
"Restore The Rejected Realms to glory!"<br />
<br />
Since, the thread has turned into an IP war, with each side bringing evidence against the other, proving who is the defender and who is the invader, including guest appearances by Unistrut, Pope Hope, and Avenging Angels. While the concept of democracy rattles around the realms, the RR forums are the smallest of all the feeder regions (save TNP take 3). With an apathetic population, the opposition parties may find themselves fighting not only the ADN and the established government, but indifference.<br />
<br />
*UPDATE*<br />
<br />
Gordonel, PRP candidate for governor, has admitted to controlling the nation of Chickadeli, the same nation that Unistrut accused DC of controlling.<br />
<br />
Gordonel wrote:<br />
When would be a good time to tell PH and Uni that Chickadeli (Chickedeli) is a puppet of mine I moved into TGU a while ago, and abonded after getting bored of the ADN? Or should I keep that one quiet? :idiot:<br />
<br />
This revelation might clear the way for others accused of matching IP, such as recent ADN outcast C1ndy.<br />

''(Left) The Statue of Pixiedance and (right) the Statue of Thel D'ran in Cathyy Circle, Capital City, TNP''<br />
<br />
Stars of Sky, The North Pacific: The North Pacific has a new forum, and a new delegate. Yesterday, Pixiedance, the nation that was controlled by Cathyy, Moldavi, and Insane Power, pulled out of the North Pacific. This created a power vacuum that lead to a mad rush to become delegate. The North was divided into two camps: Thel D’ran, the delegate cartographer, and Lungwallabad. Tresville and CiscO, long-time members of the North Pacific, called for the endorsement of Thel D’ran.<br />
<br />
Tresville wrote:<br />
I wanted Thel to get the delegacy just in case Stars was booted..and she was...i asked many to come in and support....from his endos u cuould see ADN, RLA, Seco, Westpac, PRP, Alcatraz, etc etc...all working together...something that has not been done ...well...probably ever. I didn't expect Free to get his panties in a bunch and divide us again....which he did and it only caused more problems. He should be booted along with everyone else if u were going to boot people Stars.<br />
<br />
At update, (which lasted until 9 am, Pacific Time), Thel D’ran lost 20 of his endorsements, and Lungwallabad became delegate. North Pacific Directorate members were ejected, and Stars of Sky was unbanned. Stars had been update surfing, and thus, had the most endorsements upon returning to the North Pacific.<br />
<br />
However, the “Free” reffered to in the Tresville quotes, is none other than ALL member Free4All, pivotal in the Great Blight Liberation and the beginning of the Thel D’ran administration. Free4All chastised Tresville for calling in foreign troops.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
By my knowledge the Government of the NPC issued no such request. It may be that a Minister did something like that in a rogue fashion without consulting the rest of the Cabinet, and such an individual should be looked upon with suspicion because of such a rogue action.<br />
<br />
As Minister of Defense, in charge of Intelligence, I should have been consulted prior to any request being made that foreign troops were to move into our region.<br />
<br />
Free4All then proceeded to blast Tresville and Thel D’ran.<br />
<br />
Free4All wrote:<br />
Great way to express we should stop fighting, while proposing that I am ejected from the region. Good job in the hypocracy department there.<br />
<br />
The way I see it, I helped prevent a LOT of problems by working to avoid a Thel Dran delegacy. I personally do not believe Thel would've handed over the delegacy to the player with the highest endorsement total. I'm convinced he would've left Stars of Sky on the banlist, giving some lame excuse for it. After all, IP/Cathyy made the deal that Thel should be the delegate and kicked Stars of Sky in the first place to make just that possible. Had Thel been elected Delegate we'd still not be liberated, though I'm convinced some of his carbonari-friends would've been on here trying to make everyone believe that a liberation had happened.<br />
<br />
Rest assured that a future Thel Dran delegacy will be interpreted by me as that same outside group once again taking power for themselves. They plunged us all into the Cathyy / Moldavi / IP disaster in the first place, so I do not expect anything positive from that at all.<br />
<br />
Regardless, it is now time for the TNP to settle down and adopt a governing document. A new forum has been set up to discuss this matter here and many factions have presented their opinions. STNP, NPC, NPD, and others are arguing for and against the merits of each system. However, the North Pacific still feels the sting of foreign intervention. As former delegate Cathyy noted “I'm sure all in TNP will be relieved to know that our former Masters the ADN have resumed their duties.” Found in the civil HQ of Nasicouria is the following message:<br />
<br />
The Republic of NIMARCI wrote:<br />
Troops are stationed in TNP keeping order.<br />
<br />
Delegate Stars of Sky is pushing for “The Democratic Articles of The North Pacific,” which is the RA-RV articles by Haor Chall combined with the STNP proposal with some compromises. Others, especially established NPC members, and lobbying for the Constitution, which is already in effect with elected and appointed officers. Ultimately, it is up to the delegate to decide the will of the people will be followed, or stifled.<br />
<br />
However, some have been complaining of ejections and banlist maintained by Stars of Sky. Currently, Cathyy, Poltsamaa, and Naspar Cosif remain banished from the region. Though part of the old regime, they are never-the-less natives, and some argue, should be allowed to participate in the reconstruction of the region. Again, I’ll stress my warning to the North. Please, for the love of all that is holy, unite, and build a government with the support of your citizens. If you continue to bicker and fight, you’ll have to fight another war of liberation.<br />

===Crazygirl invades The Old Raiding Club (Aug. 19, 2005)<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thepacific/crazygirl-invades-the-old-raiding-club-t2303.html</ref>===<br />

<br />
''Crazy Girl (above and to the right) in a brawl with some raiders''<br />
<br />
Matey’s Bar, The Old Raiding Club: the haven for relaxation for several invader groups is under new administration. CrazyGirl, under her alias “Silent Wolf”, decided to storm in and capture the region with the help of other 3 ADN troopers.<br />
<br />
After being repelled by several defenders from organizations such as RLA and EAA under the lead of Bimisaari on the 15th, Crazygirl took advantage of the dying founder and lack of defender resources to counter her attack to take over the region.<br />
<br />
A vigorous debate sprang up in RLA boards yesterday, as several people discussed the possibility of resisting the invasion. Whilst Avenging Angels and Crazy Horses IV were eager to stop Crazygirl’s attempt, RLAF commander EuroSoviets issued a clear order to stay away: ''“As for TORC, the RLA missed two defender operations because of that tiff with the ADN. The RLA was right to intervene to hold the ADN to a higher standard as Xha'dam said but talking about a liberation is perverse when invaders are active in more important regions. This morning alone there were three operations. Tomorrow morning will be no different. It is a matter of priority and regrettably we have only so many resources. Invader regions are at the bottom of our priority list.”''<br />
<br />
As for the ADN, we are not expected to receive an official response on the subject, since the organization was not officially involved in the attack and Crazygirl has “retired”. On the occasion of the first invasion effort, Dilber stated that, despite the fact West Pacificans assisted in the attempted take-over, no ADN troopers were officially ordered in.<br />
<br />
This is not the first time Crazygirl resorts to invader tactics to assert her intentions; one need not be reminded of the invasion of Ukraine. The following was taken from The Old Raiding Club’s regional message board:<br />
<br />
''“Don't believe everything you hear and see. Also, stop your whining. Invaders invade innocent regions all the time, but when we take over an invader region (which I wouldn't call innocent) everyone who's a wannabee defender falls over it”''<br />
<br />
PNN has observed and noted that Crazygirl invaded The Old Raiding Club. Evidence is clear as crystal.<br />

''Risellia, right, poses with his creation Scotland's Glory''<br />
<br />
The Office of the People's Puppet, Ministry of Culture, The Pacific: Today, the second anniversary of the Pacific Revolution, also marks the formal announcement and official re-introduction of the People's Puppet Project.<br />
<br />
The People's Puppet Project is a time-honored tradition in the Pacific - one begun by Francos Spain - but due to NationStates site loading issues, it has remained inactive for some time. At their best, the People's Puppets spark enlightened debate, raise interest in the offsite community, and represent our community to the rest of the NS world, and in resuming the Project, these are my main aims.<br />
<br />
The Puppets work like this: In creating a NationStates nation, there are many choices involved. With the People's Puppets, these choices are laid before the people of the Pacific. Whatever the people decide in relation to the issues and customizable fields becomes law for the puppet nations.<br />
<br />
The project, in accordance with the most recent Puppet project led by Sarda, includes three Puppets, honoring Francos Spain, Unlimited, and the people of the Pacific, and after extensive polling, the names and government types have now been chosen.<br />
<br />
The first Puppet, commemorating Unlimited, is named Scotland's Glory, and its nation type was selected as Inoffensive Centrist Democracy. Scotland's Glory has been up and running for a bit now, and its government type has already switched over to New York Times Democracy. Due to character limitations, the nation's actual name is Scotlands Glory, and it can be found here.<br />
<br />
The second Puppet, Franco's Pacific, commemorates Francos Spain, author of the revolution. Its nation type is Tyranny by Majority, and Dawn and Sun holds its reins. Just like its big bro Scotlands Glory, Francos Pacific cannot officially include an apostrophe. You can check it out here.<br />
<br />
The third and final Puppet, commemorating all of the people of the Pacific Revolution (yes, including you), is named The Pacific Crescendo, and its government type, chosen randomly, is Scandinavian Liberal Paradise. The NS link to this fine nation is here.<br />
<br />
All of the issues and special polls for these Puppets are taking place in the People's Puppet Forum. Feel free to stop by and debate, suggest, and vote to your heart's content.<br />
<br />
It is my sincere hope that the People's Puppet Project may continue in its rich history and may bring glory to the Pacific and its people! Hail Francos! Hail Unlimited! Hail Mammothistan! Hail the Revolution!<br />

<br />
''The Ukrainian flag, planted by Francos Spain, being lowered and replaced by the flag of the Orange Revolution''<br />
<br />
'''Kiev, Ukraine:''' With little fanfare, the last known region founded by Francos Spain was toppled and refounded by the Orange Revolution. Ukraine, which was founded by a Franconian puppet (Ukraine SSR) and given as a gift to Redcommunist of the USSR ('''U'''kraine '''S.S.R.'''), was an issue of serious contention between the Union of Sovereigns and the Alliance Defense Network. When the USSR went into Ukraine to do region-building and alleviate “the stagnation that had infected the region” (Red Communist), the Alliance Defense Network counter-invaded, leading to a showdown involving several hundred nations. While the Alliance prevailed, no one expected the Union to rally so many UN nations, making it the first joint military action that set them on nearly equal footing with the ADN.<br />
<br />
After the Alliance ejected all Soviets and Union members, the region was locked down with a password. For months, Ukraine existed with two non-UN nations, with no posts in the regional headquarters and no actions in the regional happenings. Soviets and Pacificans pleaded with the remaining two nations to allow immigration into the Ukraine, but it was to no avail. While Union sympathizers decry the Alliance for "Killing Franco's Region," the ADN steadfastly insisted they were repelling Soviet agression and it was up to the natives to decide if they wanted any help "regionbuilding."<br />
<br />
Now, the founder of Ukraine has been changed from Ukraine SSR to The Republic of The Orange Revolution. The World Factbook Entry states that the Ukraine was “Refounded in the name of The Orange Revolution. Ukraine is a former soviet republic but it is now on the way to become a western democracy.” It also notes that “Ukraine has oil so we are going to be invaded sooner or later.”<br />
<br />
Immediate speculation abounded as to who is behind the Orange Revolution. Black Adder noted that Orange was traditionally associated with the Dutch, while others associated Orange with the Irish Protestants. More likely, the Orange Revolution is linked to the real life situation that happened in the Ukraine in 2005, which saw pro-western candidate Yushchenko win the second run-off election. However, many Soviets and Pacificans feel that it is a personal jab against them, mocking the August Revolution (whose 2nd year anniversary happens in two days). Regardless of the origins of the Orange Revolution, another chapter in the history of Francos Spain has closed, and perhaps a new founder will be the end of the stagnation in this region.<br />

Tomorrow, at 07:39:57 BST it will be one year since Franco's last login. I think it is fair that the Pacific enters a 60 day long period of festival and remembrance of our Great Leader, Francos Spain, Emperor of the Pacific, culminating with a vigil on the day on which Francos Spain ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
Franco rose up with the popular support of the citizens of the Pacific to overthrow the corrupt oligarchy of Thedoc's regime, and proceeded to purge the remnants of the previous government under which the Pacific had stagnated for so long. Under his guidance, the NPO was established and provided the first real, stable government of the region.<br />
For a glorious year of enlightened government, Great Franco repeatedly protected the revolution, expelling wave after wave of subversives and thwarting many ADN invasions intended to destroy what had been accomplished, sending the invaders back to the Rejected Realms where they belong.<br />
<br />
In tribute to Franco's inspired leadership, the spirit of the NPO lives on today in the form of the PRP. Scarce few governments can claim such longevity and stability. The Pacific continues to be, and forever shall be a model for all other regions to aspire to.<br />

'''Administration Island, The West Pacific:''' In the shadow of the latest tower to be built on this thriving island, 50,000 watts of funk are being sent out over the airwaves and into the homes of billions of West Pacificans. The latest project of the burgeoning democracy, West Pacific Radio reaches out and touches a new generation of players and gives meaning to “sound and fury.” Prosperous, democratic, on the move, and playing for both teams, the West Pacific is an odd gem found in Nationstates.<br />

'''Issues and the West Pacific'''<br />
<br />
''Media:'' While the Pacific considers itself the center of media affairs in the feeder regions, the West is giving them a run for their money. With the launching of the successful West Pacific Radio, and talk of launching a news branch, the West is stretching their communication mussels. However, PNN is currently in talks with WPR (West Pacific Radio) to broadcast PNN stories over the airwaves. Also, if a West Pacific paper is founded, Prime Minister Biyah hinted there might be an affiliation deal. This continues the feeder trend of media and news sharing.<br />
<br />
''ADN, RLA and PRP:'' Former Prime Minister Dilber should have been in the circus, as he was able to remain a very popular leader, and was able to walk any tight rope. He remained an ADN leader, normalized relations with the Pacific, and signed a Mutual Aid/Intellegence pact (The Black Sheep Alliance) with the RLA. Able to stay on everyone’s good side, the West was a bridge between the Alliance, the Socialists, and the Union. Current Prime Minister Biyah has promised to stay the course, and maintain the status quo of good relations with regions of all types.<br />
<br />
''Image and Diplomacy:'' The West Pacific, though, is at the butt end of many jokes in Nationstates. One is their propensity to shut down an embassy at the drop of an endorsement. Another is for their neutral stance. In a highly polarized world, those in the middle of the road tend to be run over. As for their diplomatic corps, Biyah stated that their main problem was reach. He felt that half of the young invaders would be in the WPLF (West Pacific Liberation Force) if they knew the truth. He also believes that the West is slandered most in regions where there are not established embassies. While the diplomats do a good job where they are, where they are not is where they need to be.<br />
<br />
''General Assembly:'' Where the people are, the Grand Assembly is currently in a state of Spring Cleaning. Ooomph, Speaker of the Grand Assembly, is currently purging nations who are not meeting the requirements of membership. There is also discussion on the procedures and decorum of the Assembly. With no major issues on the table, the West Pacific appears to be staying active by streamlining and defining the procedural requirements of GA members. As Biyah puts it “It's a peaceful time; we're all testing our shoes and kicking back for a well deserved rest.”<br />
<br />
'''Relations with the North'''<br />
<br />
As with all feeders, now that the NPG and NPD are done, how to deal with the new government. I’ll leave you with a statement from the new Prime Minister: “We have … reopened the embassy. Our official stance is one of support. We're not going to be taking any action or giving official aid until we're specifically asked. Several elements of their population have a real paranoia about external manipulation right now; we're not going to fuel that fire. They have enough issues as it is without dealing with more fallout from our good intentions.”<br />

'''''The Pacific Press''''' ('''TPP''') is a regular publication created by the NPO Media department as part of the [[Pacific News Network]]. It has had several incarnations over the years since its founding in August 2004 in [[NationStates]]. In the post-CyberNations era, TPP is typically an internal publication, although there have been international versions and special editions.<br />
<br />
==Issues==<br />
<br />
===Volume 1===<br />
{{NS|Sir Paul}} was named Director of the Pacific Press upon appointment to the Senate.<ref>''[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/post/4358/thread Forum post]'', {{NS|Francos Spain}}, March 8, 2004</ref>. Originally, the NPO published only the [[Tabloid Tribune]]. The more factual Pacific Press was announced by {{NS|Sir Paul}} on August 14, 2004.<ref>''[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/post/3400/thread Forum post]'', {{NS|Sir Paul}}, August 14, 2004</ref>. The initial Pacific Press launched on September 14, 2004.<br />
<br />
Complete archives can be found [[Pacific Press (2004-06)|here]]<br />
<br />
===Volume 2===<br />
[[File:The Pacific Press logo 1.svg|right]]<br />
Volume 2 of the Pacific Press began in around 2007 in Cyber Nations.<br />
<br />
===Volume 3===<br />
This volume began the modern paradigm of the cross-branch [[Media Department]], with TPP often covering multiple games as well as sister publications in other branches. Volume 3 (which was not called such) ran from this revival in late 2018 until mid-2020, with some gaps.<br />

'''SeasonsofLove''' (Krzyzewskiville) is the Senator of Diplomatic Affairs and Co-Head of the Pacific Lyceum in the New Pacific Order. <br />
<br />
SeasonsofLove previously played NationStates in Antiquity, and again in around 2007 in conjunction with his entry into CyberNations.<br />
<br />
==SeasonsofLove in the New Pacific Order==<br />
<br />
He created a nation in June 2013 to assist with the operation against NAZI EUROPE. Following this operation, his nation ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
His nation of Krzyzewskiville refounded on January 22, 2025, upon SeasonsofLove's return to the New Pacific Order (previously departing in May 2016), and quickly obtained citizenship. He quickly joined several departments, including Media, Internal Affairs, and a refounded Diplomatic Corps under {{Torn|Callisto}}. <br />
<br />
In approximately April 2025, he was asked by {{NS|Dio}}, along with {{NS|Mouse490}} to help form the Pacific Lyceum. This was announced on May 10, 2025.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/202796-announcement-from-the-senate-on-internal-affairs/ Announcement from the Senate on Internal Affairs]'', {{NS|Greyghost}} (May 10, 2025)</ref> The Pacific Lyceum officially launched on June 21, 2025.<ref>''[https://discord.com/channels/173620978507710464/721336396798885889/1386151187757273179 June 21, 2025 Discord Post]'', {{NS|Mouse490}} (June 21, 2025)</ref><br />

==Emperor/Empress==<br />
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as delegate of [[the Pacific]].<br />
<br />
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. Unlimited and Mammothistan were known as Senator of the Delegacy in the People's Republic of the Pacific. Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan have been retroactively granted the title of Emperor. <br />

==Emperor/Empress==<br />
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as delegate of [[the Pacific]].<br />
<br />
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. Unlimited and Mammothistan were known as Senator of the Delegacy in the People's Republic of the Pacific. Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan have been retroactively granted the title of Emperor. <br />
