'''The North Pacific''' is a [[Feeder]] region in [[NationStates]]. It is a strong ally of the New Pacific Order in the present day despite having historically been an enemy at multiple junctures. Originally they were tied intimately to the Alliance Defence Network's GCR chokehold and were on several occasions a battleground between defenders and members of the New Pacific Order. They are the largest real region in the game and boast the largest endorsement count. They are the second oldest democracy in the Feeders. Their diplomatic network is largely tied to the independent sphere, though they maintain friends with defenders. They were historically the most-couped Feeder until fully stabilizing in the late 2000s. The North Pacific has been a staunch advocate of democracy for its entire existence. The North has a proud roleplay scene as well, which they have spent many years developing.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Government Structure of The North Pacific==<br />
<br />
===Executive Council===<br />
<br />
*'''''Delegate''''': The Delegate is an elected official who is the head of the region. They have checks and balances to their power as a democracy, insofar as they may be challenged in the judiciary or recalled by the legislature. The Delegate presides as the head of the Executive Council. The Delegate has unilateral ability to appoint their own Executive Council positions.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of World Assembly Affairs''''': The Minister of World Assembly Affairs is tasked with managing The North Pacific's prodigious World Assembly program. They direct the stance of the region in terms of voting preference and oversee the regional vote to determine whether the North will vote for or against a proposal. The Delegate may overrule the regional vote if requested by an ally, typically with the cooperation of the Minister of WA Affairs.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Defense''''': The Minister of Defense is the acting head commander of the North Pacific Army, The North Pacific's regional military. They organize operations or have the final say over a proposed operation and authorize cooperation with other regions. The Minister of Defense is an appointed position.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Culture''''': The Minister of Culture oversees cultural activities internally and externally in The North Pacific. <br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Foreign Affairs''''': The Minister of Foreign Affairs is a critical position that is typically held by an experienced diplomat, one which assists or lays out the ideal foreign affairs path for the Delegate. The Delegate has the final say over matters pertaining to foreign affairs.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Gameside Advocates===<br />
<br />
*'''''Lead Gameside Advocate''''': Head Moderator of the Regional Message Board, tasked with guiding conversations, reporting issues, and identifying and reporting rulebreakers to the regional officers.<br />
<br />
*'''''Gameside Advocate''''': Regional moderator tasked with guiding conversations, reporting issues, and identifying and reporting rulebreakers to the regional officers.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Executive Advisors===<br />
*'''''Advisor to the Delegate''''': Advise the Delegate and Executive in relevant regional affairs.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
*'''''Speaker of the Regional Assembly''''': The Speaker has a dual role - they run the Regional Assembly's business, starting and closing votes and ensuring protocol is followed in such. The larger part of their job is handling citizenship applications and removals. They maintain the registered information that tracks citizens and residents, check that new applicants actually have a nation in the region, and remove current citizens and residents whose nations leave, cease to exist, or fail to post on the RMB or Forum in 30 days.<br />
<br />
*'''''Deputy Speaker''''': Deputy Speakers assist the Speaker with their duties. One deputy can be nominated by the Speaker as their designated Acting Speaking to cover any absences the Speaker has, and they also become the Speaker if the Speaker is removed or resigned until a new election is held.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Judiciary===<br />
*'''''Chief Justice''''': The Chief Justice presides over the criminal cases presented to the Court as well as requests for review, which are a judicial review process of laws, policies and actions by other officials.<br />
<br />
*'''''Associate Justice''''': The Associate Justices are the assisting justices who similarly will rule on cases brought to the Court.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Security Council===<br />
*'''''Vice Delegate''''': The Vice Delegate is the elected official that heads up the Security Council and succeeds the delegate if they resign or are recalled. They have Cabinet access but are not officially a Cabinet position. They furthermore carry out security assessments of those applying for citizenship and can advise against or for the acceptance of said applicants.<br />
*'''''Security Councilors''''': The Security Council are responsible for the in-game security of the region, dealing entirely with people whose endorsement counts either breach the legally established endo cap or who look like they might. They'll contact the individual seeking for them to slow down their rise and if that proves insufficient have a number of other powers and methods, which range from asking other to unendorse them or recommending that the Vice Delegate or Delegate eject the nation<br />

==Lone Wolves United Modus Operandi==<br />
Lone Wolves United remains true to their founding principles and embrace the villain role that is attributed to raiders in ways that no others do. Among all of the oldest raider organizations, Lone Wolves United has also never been embroiled in a scandal that is associated with onsite cheating. They remain the most committed in-character villains, but their public relations strategy is so successful and their foreign affairs strategy so canny that they are considered the best raiders. They were once termed "the raiders we all like" despite the fact that they do not downplay the impact or nature of raiding itself. Lone Wolves United is the only raider organization in the modern day to avoid being diplomatically iced out of politics despite the best efforts of defenders. They are additionally the most successful non-scripting raiders.<br />

==Government of The West Pacific==<br />
* TWP's Government Dispatch<ref name="TWP Cabinet">[https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1266652 TWP's Government Dispatch]</ref><br />
===Delegate===<br />
Incumbent: <br />
Fujai<br />
<br />
Description:<br />
The Delegate of The West Pacific is determined by the prior Delegate. It is a meritocratically determined position, with a presumed chain of succession in mind for each delegate. The Delegate of The West Pacific has unlimited authority of the region, but can be challenged by the Guardians via the Right of Rebellion in the instance of a rogue or lacking delegate. <br />
<br />
===Ministry of Foreign Affairs===<br />
Incumbent: <br />
{{NSp|Varanius}}<br />
<br />
Description:<br />
The Minister of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) is a position that manages the foreign affairs of the region. The MoFA is primarily answerable to the Delegate, but otherwise appears to have nearly unlimited authority in dictating foreign policy in the West.<br />
<br />
===The West Pacific Armed Forces===<br />
Incumbent:<br />
Teralyon<br />
<br />
Description: The West Pacific Armed Forces (TWPAF) is the regional military of The West Pacific, led by the Commander. They are an independent military and will raid or defend on a whim. Their involvement in defending involves a presence in Libcord, while their involvement with raiding involves semi-frequent operations with {{NSp|Lone Wolves United}}.<br />

==Ideological Position==<br />
The West Pacific is an '''independent''' region, and a centerpiece of the wider independent sphere. They, currently with major partners in The North Pacific, The Augustin Alliance, and the New Pacific Order, make up the crux of the independent sphere's strength and authority. They boast a National Sovereigntist (anti-World Assembly domination over national self-determination) position in the WA and have been leading a shift in wider ideological positioning towards the General Assembly. The West Pacific maintains strong relations with key defenders and the strongest raider organization to keep their balance in raiding and defending (R/D, Military Gameplay). Since the ascent of {{NSp|Dilber}} to the seat of Minister of Foreign Affairs and maintained by {{NSp|Varanius}}, TWP has sought to foster relations with a wide network of regions in order to maintain a painstaking balance as purely independent without being wholly tied to any general sphere. <br />

'''The North Pacific''' is a [[Feeder]] region in [[NationStates]]. It is a strong ally of the New Pacific Order in the present day despite having historically been an enemy at multiple junctures. Originally they were tied intimately to the Alliance Defence Network's GCR chokehold and were on several occasions a battleground between defenders and members of the New Pacific Order. They are the largest real region in the game and boast the largest endorsement count. They are the second oldest democracy in the Feeders. Their diplomatic network is largely tied to the independent sphere, though they maintain friends with defenders. They were historically the most-couped Feeder until fully stabilizing in the late 2000s. The North Pacific has been a staunch advocate of democracy for its entire existence. The North has a proud roleplay scene as well, which they have spent many years developing.<br />
<br />
==History of the North Pacific==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Government Structure of The North Pacific==<br />
<br />
===Executive Council===<br />
<br />
*'''''Delegate''''': The Delegate is an elected official who is the head of the region. They have checks and balances to their power as a democracy, insofar as they may be challenged in the judiciary or recalled by the legislature. The Delegate presides as the head of the Executive Council. The Delegate has unilateral ability to appoint their own Executive Council positions.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of World Assembly Affairs''''': The Minister of World Assembly Affairs is tasked with managing The North Pacific's prodigious World Assembly program. They direct the stance of the region in terms of voting preference and oversee the regional vote to determine whether the North will vote for or against a proposal. The Delegate may overrule the regional vote if requested by an ally, typically with the cooperation of the Minister of WA Affairs.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Defense''''': The Minister of Defense is the acting head commander of the North Pacific Army, The North Pacific's regional military. They organize operations or have the final say over a proposed operation and authorize cooperation with other regions. The Minister of Defense is an appointed position.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Culture''''': The Minister of Culture oversees cultural activities internally and externally in The North Pacific. <br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Foreign Affairs''''': The Minister of Foreign Affairs is a critical position that is typically held by an experienced diplomat, one which assists or lays out the ideal foreign affairs path for the Delegate. The Delegate has the final say over matters pertaining to foreign affairs.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Gameside Advocates===<br />
<br />
*'''''Lead Gameside Advocate''''': Head Moderator of the Regional Message Board, tasked with guiding conversations, reporting issues, and identifying and reporting rulebreakers to the regional officers.<br />
<br />
*'''''Gameside Advocate''''': Regional moderator tasked with guiding conversations, reporting issues, and identifying and reporting rulebreakers to the regional officers.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Executive Advisors===<br />
*'''''Advisor to the Delegate''''': Advise the Delegate and Executive in relevant regional affairs.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
*'''''Speaker of the Regional Assembly''''': The Speaker has a dual role - they run the Regional Assembly's business, starting and closing votes and ensuring protocol is followed in such. The larger part of their job is handling citizenship applications and removals. They maintain the registered information that tracks citizens and residents, check that new applicants actually have a nation in the region, and remove current citizens and residents whose nations leave, cease to exist, or fail to post on the RMB or Forum in 30 days.<br />
<br />
*'''''Deputy Speaker''''': Deputy Speakers assist the Speaker with their duties. One deputy can be nominated by the Speaker as their designated Acting Speaking to cover any absences the Speaker has, and they also become the Speaker if the Speaker is removed or resigned until a new election is held.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Judiciary===<br />
*'''''Chief Justice''''': The Chief Justice presides over the criminal cases presented to the Court as well as requests for review, which are a judicial review process of laws, policies and actions by other officials.<br />
<br />
*'''''Associate Justice''''': The Associate Justices are the assisting justices who similarly will rule on cases brought to the Court.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Security Council===<br />
*'''''Vice Delegate''''': The Vice Delegate is the elected official that heads up the Security Council and succeeds the delegate if they resign or are recalled. They have Cabinet access but are not officially a Cabinet position. They furthermore carry out security assessments of those applying for citizenship and can advise against or for the acceptance of said applicants.<br />
*'''''Security Councilors''''': The Security Council are responsible for the in-game security of the region, dealing entirely with people whose endorsement counts either breach the legally established endo cap or who look like they might. They'll contact the individual seeking for them to slow down their rise and if that proves insufficient have a number of other powers and methods, which range from asking other to unendorse them or recommending that the Vice Delegate or Delegate eject the nation<br />

'''The North Pacific''' is a [[Feeder]] region in [[NationStates]]. It is a strong ally of the New Pacific Order in the present day despite having historically been an enemy at multiple junctures. Originally they were tied intimately to the Alliance Defence Network's GCR chokehold and were on several occasions a battleground between defenders and members of the New Pacific Order. They are the largest real region in the game and boast the largest endorsement count. They are the second oldest democracy in the Feeders. Their diplomatic network is largely tied to the independent sphere, though they maintain friends with defenders. They were historically the most-couped Feeder until fully stabilizing in the late 2000s. The North Pacific has been a staunch advocate of democracy for its entire existence. <br />

<br />
<br />
==Government Structure of The North Pacific==<br />
<br />
===Executive Council===<br />
<br />
*'''''Delegate''''': The Delegate is an elected official who is the head of the region. They have checks and balances to their power as a democracy, insofar as they may be challenged in the judiciary or recalled by the legislature. The Delegate presides as the head of the Executive Council. The Delegate has unilateral ability to appoint their own Executive Council positions.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of World Assembly Affairs''''': The Minister of World Assembly Affairs is tasked with managing The North Pacific's prodigious World Assembly program. They direct the stance of the region in terms of voting preference and oversee the regional vote to determine whether the North will vote for or against a proposal. The Delegate may overrule the regional vote if requested by an ally, typically with the cooperation of the Minister of WA Affairs.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Defense''''': The Minister of Defense is the acting head commander of the North Pacific Army, The North Pacific's regional military. They organize operations or have the final say over a proposed operation and authorize cooperation with other regions. The Minister of Defense is an appointed position.<br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Culture''''': The Minister of Culture oversees cultural activities internally and externally in The North Pacific. <br />
<br />
*'''''Minister of Foreign Affairs''''': The Minister of Foreign Affairs is a critical position that is typically held by an experienced diplomat, one which assists or lays out the ideal foreign affairs path for the Delegate. The Delegate has the final say over matters pertaining to foreign affairs.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Gameside Advocates===<br />
<br />
*'''''Lead Gameside Advocate''''': Head Moderator of the Regional Message Board, tasked with guiding conversations, reporting issues, and identifying and reporting rulebreakers to the regional officers.<br />
<br />
*'''''Gameside Advocate''''': Regional moderator tasked with guiding conversations, reporting issues, and identifying and reporting rulebreakers to the regional officers.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Executive Advisors===<br />
*'''''Advisor to the Delegate''''': Advise the Delegate and Executive in relevant regional affairs.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
*'''''Speaker of the Regional Assembly''''': The Speaker has a dual role - they run the Regional Assembly's business, starting and closing votes and ensuring protocol is followed in such. The larger part of their job is handling citizenship applications and removals. They maintain the registered information that tracks citizens and residents, check that new applicants actually have a nation in the region, and remove current citizens and residents whose nations leave, cease to exist, or fail to post on the RMB or Forum in 30 days.<br />
<br />
*'''''Deputy Speaker''''': Deputy Speakers assist the Speaker with their duties. One deputy can be nominated by the Speaker as their designated Acting Speaking to cover any absences the Speaker has, and they also become the Speaker if the Speaker is removed or resigned until a new election is held.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Judiciary===<br />
*'''''Chief Justice''''': The Chief Justice presides over the criminal cases presented to the Court as well as requests for review, which are a judicial review process of laws, policies and actions by other officials.<br />
<br />
*'''''Associate Justice''''': The Associate Justices are the assisting justices who similarly will rule on cases brought to the Court.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Security Council===<br />
*'''''Vice Delegate''''': The Vice Delegate is the elected official that heads up the Security Council and succeeds the delegate if they resign or are recalled. They have Cabinet access but are not officially a Cabinet position. They furthermore carry out security assessments of those applying for citizenship and can advise against or for the acceptance of said applicants.<br />
*'''''Security Councilors''''': The Security Council are responsible for the in-game security of the region, dealing entirely with people whose endorsement counts either breach the legally established endo cap or who look like they might. They'll contact the individual seeking for them to slow down their rise and if that proves insufficient have a number of other powers and methods, which range from asking other to unendorse them or recommending that the Vice Delegate or Delegate eject the nation<br />

'''The North Pacific''' is a [[Feeder]] region in [[NationStates]]. It is a strong ally of the New Pacific Order in the present day despite having historically been an enemy at multiple junctures. Originally they were tied intimately to the Alliance Defence Network's GCR chokehold and were on several occasions a battleground between defenders and members of the New Pacific Order. They are the largest real region in the game and boast the largest endorsement count. They are the second oldest democracy in the Feeders. Their diplomatic network is largely tied to the independent sphere, though they maintain friends with defenders. They were historically the most-couped Feeder until fully stabilizing in the late 2000s. The North Pacific has been a staunch advocate of democracy for its entire existence. <br />

<br />

'''Lone Wolves United''' is the oldest remaining raider organization in NationStates, and both the largest in terms of numbers as well as the most successful in diplomacy in all of raiderdom. They remain true to their founding principles and embrace the villain role that is attributed to raiders in ways that no others do. Among all of the oldest raider organizations, Lone Wolves United has also never been embroiled in a scandal that is associated with onsite cheating. They remain the most committed in-character villains, but their public relations strategy is so successful and their foreign affairs strategy so canny that they are considered the best raiders. They were once termed "the raiders we all like" despite the fact that they do not downplay the impact or nature of raiding itself. Lone Wolves United is the only raider organization in the modern day to avoid being diplomatically iced out of politics despite the best efforts of defenders. They are additionally the most successful non-scripting raiders.<br />

'''Lone Wolves United''' is the oldest remaining raider organization in NationStates, and both the largest in terms of numbers as well as the most successful in diplomacy in all of raiderdom. They remain true to their founding principles and embrace the villain role that is attributed to raiders in ways that no others do. Among all of the oldest raider organizations, Lone Wolves United has also never been embroiled in a scandal that is associated with onsite cheating. They remain the most committed in-character villains, but their public relations strategy is so successful and their foreign affairs strategy so canny that they are considered the best raiders. They were once termed "the raiders we all like" despite the fact that they do not downplay the impact or nature of raiding itself. Lone Wolves United is the only raider organization in the modern day to avoid being diplomatically iced out of politics despite the best efforts of defenders. They are additionally the most successful non-scripting raiders.<br />

<br />
==Ranks of Lone Wolves United==<br />
<br />
'''Khan'''<br />
*The Khan is the top rank in the region. They have the final decision in the running the region.<br />
<br />
'''Il-Khan'''<br />
An Il-Khan is the Khan's second-in-command. They run the region in the Khan's absence, and will often lead the region's day-to-day operations. They become the Khan should the Khan resign.<br />
<br />
'''Alpha Emeritus'''<br />
*When the Khan resigns their position, they become an Alpha Emeritus. This rank helps by advising Command in the running of the region, and retain their position as officers.<br />
<br />
'''Khalif'''<br />
A Khalif is a Command-level officer. They help advise the Khan, as well as making a few decisions themselves, in the running of the region itself. Khalifs are excellent raid leaders in their own right, and serve in LWU's Command.<br />
<br />
'''Cherbi'''<br />
Kheshigs that have proven themselves again and again may find themselves promoted yet again. A Cherbi is the highest non-Command rank. There is nothing in a raid that a Cherbi can not do, and they have proven themselves dedicated to Lone Wolves United through their excellence in leading operations.<br />
<br />
'''Kheshig'''<br />
Kheshig is the first of the officer ranks. A Kheshig is a raider that knows the ins and outs of raiding, and knows how to lead a raid. They can trigger, point, and stealth raid as well. Kheshigs are free to organise their own raids.<br />
<br />
'''Ghazi'''<br />
A Ghazi is a veteran raider. These raiders have proven their worth repeatedly through their contributions to the region in some form or fashion. They excel at all aspects of participating in a raid, from regular raids to stealth operations.<br />
<br />
'''Wolf'''<br />
A Wolf is the next rank above Cub. A Wolf knows how to raid properly, but may not know the ins and outs of stealth raiding, triggering, or pointing yet. Wolves have proven their capabilities in regular raids, however, and form the core of Lone Wolves United's success as a crasher organisation.<br />
<br />
'''Cub'''<br />
A Cub is the starting rank of many new members of Lone Wolves United. Someone of this rank has little to no experience raiding and has just recently joined the region as a raider. Their goal is to get promoted to Wolf, through participation in training raids.<br />

'''The North Pacific''' is a [[Feeder]] region in [[NationStates]]. It is a strong ally of the New Pacific Order in the present day despite having historically been an enemy at multiple junctures. Originally they were tied intimately to the Alliance Defence Network's GCR chokehold and were on several occasions a battleground between defenders and members of the New Pacific Order. They are the largest real region in the game and boast the largest endorsement count. They are the second oldest democracy in the Feeders. Their diplomatic network is largely tied to the independent sphere, though they maintain friends with defenders. They were historically the most-couped Feeder until fully stabilizing in the late 2000s. The North Pacific has been a staunch advocate of democracy for its entire existence. <br />

The '''Augustin Alliance''' is a multi-region network founded on July 22, 2016, by August. Established to promote cooperation, the exchange of ideas, and free trade, the Alliance brings together regions with distinct themes, purposes, and cultural identities, all united by shared values and their common founder. Over the years, the Alliance has evolved, with sovereignty extending currently to the regions of Conch Kingdom, Lands End, Cape of Good Hope, Ridgefield, Anteria, Dawn, and Narnia.<br />
<br />
On October 27, 2023, Emiline, who had served as the second-in-command and de-facto leader since 2019, formally obtained mechanical control over all Alliance regions. This transition marked the transfer of supreme authority from August to Emiline, effectively ushering in the current generation of the Augustin Alliance's iteration.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Augustin Alliance traces its origins to January 2016, when August drafted an early version of its structure and a long-term plan for the organization. The vision included the creation of multiple regions, each with its own distinct identity. The first of these regions, the Cape of Good Hope, was established shortly after August's return from an extended period of inactivity. Commonly referred to as "the Cape," this region initially lacked a clear structure or direction. However, within its first month, a small but vibrant roleplay community emerged, largely inspired by the contributions of the region's first resident, Coadun. This community would come to define the Cape's identity in the years to follow.<br />
<br />
In late February 2016, the second region, Conch Kingdom, was launched. Unlike the Cape, Conch Kingdom was meticulously planned from the outset. Within minutes of its founding, it boasted a functional forum, a well-crafted World Factbook Entry (WFE), and a welcoming telegram for new members. Manual recruitment efforts began immediately and proved highly successful. Designed as a "big-tent" region, Conch Kingdom utilized a tropical theme and a high degree of political freedom to attract a broad audience. This strategy paid off, as the region welcomed its 100th nation within a month of its founding, with the 200th nation joining by April 2016.<br />
<br />
The launches of subsequent Alliance regions were strategically staggered over the next year and a half, allowing each region time to develop and establish itself before the next was introduced. During this period, the Cape of Good Hope and Conch Kingdom grew both internally and externally. They established political frameworks, expanded their communities, and began engaging with the broader world through embassies and military initiatives. In June 2016, the Conch Kingdom Naval Reserve and the Cape Defense Force were formed. While these military organizations were relatively modest in scale, they played a crucial role in building alliances and providing training for emerging leaders within their respective regions.<br />
<br />
The Alliance as a unified entity officially began on July 22, 2016, when an announcement was made on the Regional Message Boards (RMBs) of both the Cape of Good Hope and Conch Kingdom. This announcement revealed that August was the founder of both regions and declared them the first member regions of the Alliance. Following this revelation, the construction of embassies between the two regions commenced. Shortly thereafter, in September 2016, Helaw created a Discord server for Conch Kingdom, which was later expanded to serve the entire Alliance. This marked a significant step in fostering communication and collaboration among Alliance members, laying the groundwork for the organization's future growth and cohesion.<br />
<br />
The Alliance's military capabilities were further consolidated with the founding of the Joint Task Force (JTF), which merged the forces of Conch Kingdom and the Cape of Good Hope into an advanced, update-capable independent military. The JTF gained valuable experience during a weeks-long siege of the region Femdom Empire, which ultimately failed but allowed Alliance forces to forge strong relationships with defender organizations.<br />
<br />
In January 2017, August successfully recaptured Ridgefield, a region he had originally founded in October 2010 but had lost to a region-squatter. Ridgefield was reestablished with a unique meritocratic government system, featuring strict quality regulations and mandatory World Assembly membership. Later that year, Land's End was officially launched after being planned since March 2016. Its capitalist structure, resembling a publicly-traded corporation, filled a niche in a market dominated by liberal democracies and communist regimes. Land's End quickly became a strong contributor to the Alliance, driving Discord traffic and deploying nations with the JTF.<br />
<br />
The Alliance gained international recognition during the April Fools 2017 nuclear war event, where its coordinated efforts led to a surprising victory. This success was followed by the addition of Narnia in June 2017, a region with a unique internal faction-based system. However, on August 13, 2017, the Alliance was temporarily shut down to allow leadership, particularly August, a break and to test the regions' ability to operate independently. Despite the shutdown, the regions continued to function, and the Alliance was briefly revived during a second nuclear war event later that year, securing another victory.<br />
<br />
In May 2018, the Alliance was officially revived, and the Central Strategic Committee (CSC) was established to oversee its operations. The CSC, composed of high-ranking officials, provided guidance and support to member regions while maintaining a hands-off approach to regional governance. Despite setbacks, including a record-low score in the 2018 NDay event, the Alliance achieved a third-place finish in 2019.<br />
<br />
August's inactivity in early 2019 led to a period of uncertainty, but the appointment of Emiline (commonly known as "Emi") as co-administrator in September 2019 provided stability. Emi played a key role in maintaining the Alliance's operations, particularly during a failed referendum in Conch Kingdom that sought to withdraw from the Alliance.<br />
<br />
In 2020, the Alliance faced external challenges and internal governance complexities due to August's reduced involvement. Despite these difficulties, the Alliance secured a first-place victory in the NDay event, marking a triumphant return to form. Following this success, the Alliance retired from NDay, and in December 2020, DiRito, the sole administrator at the time, retired, leaving Emi as the de-facto leader. In June 2021, August appointed Cle brait as the second Administrator of the Alliance, marking what would likely be his final executive act as leader. August withdrew from NationStates in October 2021, leaving the Alliance under the stewardship of Emi and Cle brait.<br />
<br />
In February 2023, the Augustin Alliance began a gradual integration process with Anteria, a region established in 2015. Anteria was originally founded by Emiline outside the Alliance, prior to the Alliance's existence, and had developed into a thriving community with its own unique identity. Over the preceding six years, Anteria had maintained a close and mutually beneficial relationship with the Alliance, characterized by significant cross-membership and collaboration between their respective communities. When Emiline assumed de-facto leadership of the Alliance in 2019, it became increasingly logical to consolidate her holdings, leading to the decision to formally integrate Anteria into the Alliance. <br />
<br />
The period from 2021 to 2023 proved challenging for the Augustin Alliance. August's prolonged absence left the organization without mechanical onsite control, relying on outdated systems and infrastructure that were no longer fully accessible. This precarious situation necessitated a difficult but necessary transition to secure the Alliance's future. On October 27, 2023, a significant leadership transition took place. Emiline, who had served as the second-in-command and de-facto leader since 2019, formally obtained mechanical control over all Alliance regions. This transfer of supreme authority from August to Emiline marked the beginning of the second generation of the Augustin Alliance, signaling a new era of governance and direction for the organization.<br />
<br />
==Overarching Policy==<br />
<br />
While the regions of the Augustin Alliance operate as autonomous entities, each maintaining control over its own laws, customs, and infrastructure, they are bound by a set of overarching policies established by the Alliance. These policies, which were integrated on January 28, 2021, ensure a unified framework for conduct, governance, and operational standards across all member regions. Compliance with these guidelines is mandatory and covers areas such as regional conduct, adherence to shared rules, maintenance of essential infrastructure, and respect for the hierarchical structure of the Alliance.<br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
===Central Strategic Committee===<br />
The '''Central Strategic Committee (CSC)''' serves as a supra-governmental body within the Augustin Alliance, providing guidance, support, and regulation to its member regions, as well as its military and diplomatic branches.The highest-ranking officials of the CSC include the Allied Commander, who holds absolute discretionary authority over all aspects of the Alliance, and the Administrator(s), who wield similar powers.The remainder of the CSC is composed of CSC Officers, who form a collective and consensual council. These officers do not hold authority over one another and operate as equals.<br />
<br />
Collectively, the CSC is responsible for setting overarching policies for the Alliance, imposing sanctions on regions or individuals when necessary, and developing and implementing initiatives aimed at improving the organization. While the CSC plays a central role in maintaining the Alliance's cohesion and standards, it does not directly interfere with regional laws, governmental procedures, or military operations and strategy—unless these conflict with established Alliance policies. This structure ensures that member regions retain their autonomy while adhering to the shared principles and frameworks that define the Alliance as a whole.<br />
<br />
*The '''Allied Commander''' is the head of Alliance and is Governor of all member regions. The Allied Commander is absolute and has full discretionary power over all aspects of the Augustin Alliance and its subsidiaries.The current Allied Commander is Emiline.<br />
*The '''Administrator(s)''' is the second-highest authority within the Augustin Alliance, serving directly under the Allied Commander. Tasked with carrying out the Allied Commander's authority including maintaining structural and social order offsite, overseeing day-to-day operations, and providing guidance to member regions and subsidiary organizations. The current Administrators are Socialist Platypus who serves as the Senior and Papalania who serves as Junior.<br />
*The '''Oversight Officer''' serves as the Chief of Staff, tasked with ensuring that primary functions in each region are running smoothly. The Oversight Officer reports weekly to the CSC, providing updates on regional operations and identifying areas requiring attention or improvement. The current Oversight Officer is Bonne Blue Republic.<br />
*The '''Diplomatic Officer''' is responsible for managing the Alliance's foreign affairs, fostering relationships with external regions, and representing the Alliance in diplomatic matters. The current Diplomatic Officer is Haymarket Riot.<br />
*The '''Defense Officer''' builds endorsements and influence across regions, publishes WA vote recommendations, and oversees R/D coordination with the Alliance Regional Guard and Operational Service (ARGOS), the Alliance's military reserve federation. The Current Defense Officer is Rei Khan.<br />
*The '''Culture Officer''' is responsible for planning Alliance-hosted events, coordinating with regional culture officials, and creating graphic materials to enhance the Alliance's cultural and social engagement. This role plays a vital part in fostering community spirit and ensuring vibrant, inclusive activities across all member regions. The current Culture Officer is Kathricore.<br />
*The '''Personnel Officer''' works closely with individual regions to develop and implement strategies for recruitment, retention, and integration of new members. This role is essential for ensuring the growth and stability of the Alliance by fostering active and engaged communities across all regions. The current Personnel Officer is TESDAI.<br />
*The '''Tech Officer''' manages offsite bot functions, ensuring the smooth operation of the Alliance's technological infrastructure. This role oversees the maintenance and development of Augury, the custom bot designed specifically for the Augustin Alliance. The current Tech Officer is Deims Kir.<br />
*The '''Head Moderator ''' oversees off site moderation, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all members of the Augustin Alliance. This role is responsible for managing the moderation team and appointing new moderators as needed. The current Head Moderator is Ciapore.<br />
<br />
===Tribunes===<br />
The '''Tribunes''' are a unique body within the Augustin Alliance, fulfilling roles that blend the functions of ombudsman, librarians, and Roman-style tribunes. Elected by the populace, the Tribunes serve as a bridge between the Central Strategic Committee and the general membership, ensuring greater involvement and direct engagement in Alliance affairs. Their responsibilities include advocating for member concerns, preserving and organizing regional records, and facilitating communication between the CSC and the broader community.<br />
<br />
The current Tribunes are Moduland, Gondor, and Hooseria Magna.<br />
<br />
===The Court of Officials===<br />
While each region within the Augustin Alliance governs itself individually, the Regional Officers (ROs) of all member regions come together to form the '''Court of Officials'''. This body serves as a collective forum for providing input and consent on Alliance-wide affairs. The Court of Officials plays a key role in decision-making processes, requiring unanimous consent via vote to pass major Alliance-wide measures, such as treaties, policies, or bans. This structure ensures that all regions have a voice in shaping the Alliance's direction while maintaining their autonomy and individuality.<br />

The first of these regions, the Cape of Good Hope, was established shortly after August's return from an extended period of inactivity. Commonly referred to as "the Cape," this region initially lacked a clear structure or direction. However, within its first month, a small but vibrant roleplay community emerged, largely inspired by the contributions of the region's first resident, Coadun. This community would come to define the Cape's identity in the years to follow.<br />
<br />
In late February 2016, the second region, Conch Kingdom, was launched. Unlike the Cape, Conch Kingdom was meticulously planned from the outset. Within minutes of its founding, it boasted a functional forum, a well-crafted World Factbook Entry (WFE), and a welcoming telegram for new members. Manual recruitment efforts began immediately and proved highly successful. Designed as a "big-tent" region, Conch Kingdom utilized a tropical theme and a high degree of political freedom to attract a broad audience. This strategy paid off, as the region welcomed its 100th nation within a month of its founding, with the 200th nation joining by April 2016.<br />
<br />
The launches of subsequent Alliance regions were strategically staggered over the next year and a half, allowing each region time to develop and establish itself before the next was introduced. During this period, the Cape of Good Hope and Conch Kingdom grew both internally and externally. They established political frameworks, expanded their communities, and began engaging with the broader world through embassies and military initiatives. In June 2016, the Conch Kingdom Naval Reserve and the Cape Defense Force were formed. While these military organizations were relatively modest in scale, they played a crucial role in building alliances and providing training for emerging leaders within their respective regions.<br />
<br />
The Alliance as a unified entity officially began on July 22, 2016, when an announcement was made on the Regional Message Boards (RMBs) of both the Cape of Good Hope and Conch Kingdom. This announcement revealed that August was the founder of both regions and declared them the first member regions of the Alliance. Following this revelation, the construction of embassies between the two regions commenced. Shortly thereafter, in September 2016, Helaw created a Discord server for Conch Kingdom, which was later expanded to serve the entire Alliance. This marked a significant step in fostering communication and collaboration among Alliance members, laying the groundwork for the organization's future growth and cohesion.<br />
<br />
The Alliance's military capabilities were further consolidated with the founding of the Joint Task Force (JTF), which merged the forces of Conch Kingdom and the Cape of Good Hope into an advanced, update-capable independent military. The JTF gained valuable experience during a weeks-long siege of the region Femdom Empire, which ultimately failed but allowed Alliance forces to forge strong relationships with defender organizations.<br />
<br />
In January 2017, August successfully recaptured Ridgefield, a region he had originally founded in October 2010 but had lost to a region-squatter. Ridgefield was reestablished with a unique meritocratic government system, featuring strict quality regulations and mandatory World Assembly membership. Later that year, Land's End was officially launched after being planned since March 2016. Its capitalist structure, resembling a publicly-traded corporation, filled a niche in a market dominated by liberal democracies and communist regimes. Land's End quickly became a strong contributor to the Alliance, driving Discord traffic and deploying nations with the JTF.<br />
<br />
The Alliance gained international recognition during the April Fools 2017 nuclear war event, where its coordinated efforts led to a surprising victory. This success was followed by the addition of Narnia in June 2017, a region with a unique internal faction-based system. However, on August 13, 2017, the Alliance was temporarily shut down to allow leadership, particularly August, a break and to test the regions' ability to operate independently. Despite the shutdown, the regions continued to function, and the Alliance was briefly revived during a second nuclear war event later that year, securing another victory.<br />
<br />
In May 2018, the Alliance was officially revived, and the Central Strategic Committee (CSC) was established to oversee its operations. The CSC, composed of high-ranking officials, provided guidance and support to member regions while maintaining a hands-off approach to regional governance. Despite setbacks, including a record-low score in the 2018 NDay event, the Alliance achieved a third-place finish in 2019.<br />
<br />
August's inactivity in early 2019 led to a period of uncertainty, but the appointment of Emiline (commonly known as "Emi") as co-administrator in September 2019 provided stability. Emi played a key role in maintaining the Alliance's operations, particularly during a failed referendum in Conch Kingdom that sought to withdraw from the Alliance.<br />
<br />
In 2020, the Alliance faced external challenges and internal governance complexities due to August's reduced involvement. Despite these difficulties, the Alliance secured a first-place victory in the NDay event, marking a triumphant return to form. Following this success, the Alliance retired from NDay, and in December 2020, DiRito, the sole administrator at the time, retired, leaving Emi as the de-facto leader. In June 2021, August appointed Cle brait as the second Administrator of the Alliance, marking what would likely be his final executive act as leader. August withdrew from NationStates in October 2021, leaving the Alliance under the stewardship of Emi and Cle brait.<br />
<br />
In February 2023, the Augustin Alliance began a gradual integration process with Anteria, a region established in 2015. Anteria was originally founded by Emiline outside the Alliance, prior to the Alliance's existence, and had developed into a thriving community with its own unique identity. Over the preceding six years, Anteria had maintained a close and mutually beneficial relationship with the Alliance, characterized by significant cross-membership and collaboration between their respective communities. When Emiline assumed de-facto leadership of the Alliance in 2019, it became increasingly logical to consolidate her holdings, leading to the decision to formally integrate Anteria into the Alliance. <br />
<br />
The period from 2021 to 2023 proved challenging for the Augustin Alliance. August's prolonged absence left the organization without mechanical onsite control, relying on outdated systems and infrastructure that were no longer fully accessible. This precarious situation necessitated a difficult but necessary transition to secure the Alliance's future. On October 27, 2023, a significant leadership transition took place. Emiline, who had served as the second-in-command and de-facto leader since 2019, formally obtained mechanical control over all Alliance regions. This transfer of supreme authority from August to Emiline marked the beginning of the second generation of the Augustin Alliance, signaling a new era of governance and direction for the organization.<br />
<br />
==Overarching Policy==<br />
<br />
While the regions of the Augustin Alliance operate as autonomous entities, each maintaining control over its own laws, customs, and infrastructure, they are bound by a set of overarching policies established by the Alliance. These policies, which were integrated on January 28, 2021, ensure a unified framework for conduct, governance, and operational standards across all member regions. Compliance with these guidelines is mandatory and covers areas such as regional conduct, adherence to shared rules, maintenance of essential infrastructure, and respect for the hierarchical structure of the Alliance.<br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
===Central Strategic Committee===<br />
The '''Central Strategic Committee (CSC)''' serves as a supra-governmental body within the Augustin Alliance, providing guidance, support, and regulation to its member regions, as well as its military and diplomatic branches.The highest-ranking officials of the CSC include the Allied Commander, who holds absolute discretionary authority over all aspects of the Alliance, and the Administrator(s), who wield similar powers.The remainder of the CSC is composed of CSC Officers, who form a collective and consensual council. These officers do not hold authority over one another and operate as equals.<br />
<br />
Collectively, the CSC is responsible for setting overarching policies for the Alliance, imposing sanctions on regions or individuals when necessary, and developing and implementing initiatives aimed at improving the organization. While the CSC plays a central role in maintaining the Alliance's cohesion and standards, it does not directly interfere with regional laws, governmental procedures, or military operations and strategy—unless these conflict with established Alliance policies. This structure ensures that member regions retain their autonomy while adhering to the shared principles and frameworks that define the Alliance as a whole.<br />
<br />
*The '''Allied Commander''' is the head of Alliance and is Governor of all member regions. The Allied Commander is absolute and has full discretionary power over all aspects of the Augustin Alliance and its subsidiaries.The current Allied Commander is Emiline.<br />
*The '''Administrator(s)''' is the second-highest authority within the Augustin Alliance, serving directly under the Allied Commander. Tasked with carrying out the Allied Commander's authority including maintaining structural and social order offsite, overseeing day-to-day operations, and providing guidance to member regions and subsidiary organizations. The current Administrators are Socialist Platypus who serves as the Senior and Papalania who serves as Junior.<br />
*The '''Oversight Officer''' serves as the Chief of Staff, tasked with ensuring that primary functions in each region are running smoothly. The Oversight Officer reports weekly to the CSC, providing updates on regional operations and identifying areas requiring attention or improvement. The current Oversight Officer is Bonne Blue Republic.<br />
*The '''Diplomatic Officer''' is responsible for managing the Alliance's foreign affairs, fostering relationships with external regions, and representing the Alliance in diplomatic matters. The current Diplomatic Officer is Haymarket Riot.<br />
*The '''Defense Officer''' builds endorsements and influence across regions, publishes WA vote recommendations, and oversees R/D coordination with the Alliance Regional Guard and Operational Service (ARGOS), the Alliance's military reserve federation. The Current Defense Officer is Rei Khan.<br />
*The '''Culture Officer''' is responsible for planning Alliance-hosted events, coordinating with regional culture officials, and creating graphic materials to enhance the Alliance's cultural and social engagement. This role plays a vital part in fostering community spirit and ensuring vibrant, inclusive activities across all member regions. The current Culture Officer is Kathricore.<br />
*The '''Personnel Officer''' works closely with individual regions to develop and implement strategies for recruitment, retention, and integration of new members. This role is essential for ensuring the growth and stability of the Alliance by fostering active and engaged communities across all regions. The current Personnel Officer is TESDAI.<br />
*The '''Tech Officer''' manages offsite bot functions, ensuring the smooth operation of the Alliance's technological infrastructure. This role oversees the maintenance and development of Augury, the custom bot designed specifically for the Augustin Alliance. The current Tech Officer is Deims Kir.<br />
*The '''Head Moderator ''' oversees off site moderation, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all members of the Augustin Alliance. This role is responsible for managing the moderation team and appointing new moderators as needed. The current Head Moderator is Ciapore.<br />
<br />
===Tribunes===<br />
The '''Tribunes''' are a unique body within the Augustin Alliance, fulfilling roles that blend the functions of ombudsman, librarians, and Roman-style tribunes. Elected by the populace, the Tribunes serve as a bridge between the Central Strategic Committee and the general membership, ensuring greater involvement and direct engagement in Alliance affairs. Their responsibilities include advocating for member concerns, preserving and organizing regional records, and facilitating communication between the CSC and the broader community.<br />
<br />
The current Tribunes are Moduland, Gondor, and Hooseria Magna.<br />
<br />
===The Court of Officials===<br />
While each region within the Augustin Alliance governs itself individually, the Regional Officers (ROs) of all member regions come together to form the '''Court of Officials'''. This body serves as a collective forum for providing input and consent on Alliance-wide affairs. The Court of Officials plays a key role in decision-making processes, requiring unanimous consent via vote to pass major Alliance-wide measures, such as treaties, policies, or bans. This structure ensures that all regions have a voice in shaping the Alliance's direction while maintaining their autonomy and individuality.<br />

The '''Augustin Alliance''' is a multi-region network founded on July 22, 2016, by August. Established to promote cooperation, the exchange of ideas, and free trade, the Alliance brings together regions with distinct themes, purposes, and cultural identities, all united by shared values and their common founder. Over the years, the Alliance has evolved, with sovereignty extending currently to the regions of Conch Kingdom, Lands End, Cape of Good Hope, Ridgefield, Anteria, Dawn, and Narnia.<br />
<br />
On October 27, 2023, Emiline, who had served as the second-in-command and de-facto leader since 2019, formally obtained mechanical control over all Alliance regions. This transition marked the transfer of supreme authority from August to Emiline, effectively ushering in the current generation of the Augustin Alliance's iteration.<br />

Over the years, the Alliance has evolved, with sovereignty extending currently to the regions of Conch Kingdom, Lands End, Cape of Good Hope, Ridgefield, Anteria, Dawn, and Narnia.<br />
<br />
On October 27, 2023, Emiline, who had served as the second-in-command and de-facto leader since 2019, formally obtained mechanical control over all Alliance regions. This transition marked the transfer of supreme authority from August to Emiline, effectively ushering in the current generation of the Augustin Alliance's iteration.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Augustin Alliance traces its origins to January 2016, when August drafted an early version of its structure and a long-term plan for the organization. The vision included the creation of multiple regions, each with its own distinct identity. The first of these regions, the Cape of Good Hope, was established shortly after August's return from an extended period of inactivity. Commonly referred to as "the Cape," this region initially lacked a clear structure or direction. However, within its first month, a small but vibrant roleplay community emerged, largely inspired by the contributions of the region's first resident, Coadun. This community would come to define the Cape's identity in the years to follow.<br />
<br />
In late February 2016, the second region, Conch Kingdom, was launched. Unlike the Cape, Conch Kingdom was meticulously planned from the outset. Within minutes of its founding, it boasted a functional forum, a well-crafted World Factbook Entry (WFE), and a welcoming telegram for new members. Manual recruitment efforts began immediately and proved highly successful. Designed as a "big-tent" region, Conch Kingdom utilized a tropical theme and a high degree of political freedom to attract a broad audience. This strategy paid off, as the region welcomed its 100th nation within a month of its founding, with the 200th nation joining by April 2016.<br />
<br />
The launches of subsequent Alliance regions were strategically staggered over the next year and a half, allowing each region time to develop and establish itself before the next was introduced. During this period, the Cape of Good Hope and Conch Kingdom grew both internally and externally. They established political frameworks, expanded their communities, and began engaging with the broader world through embassies and military initiatives. In June 2016, the Conch Kingdom Naval Reserve and the Cape Defense Force were formed. While these military organizations were relatively modest in scale, they played a crucial role in building alliances and providing training for emerging leaders within their respective regions.<br />
<br />
The Alliance as a unified entity officially began on July 22, 2016, when an announcement was made on the Regional Message Boards (RMBs) of both the Cape of Good Hope and Conch Kingdom. This announcement revealed that August was the founder of both regions and declared them the first member regions of the Alliance. Following this revelation, the construction of embassies between the two regions commenced. Shortly thereafter, in September 2016, Helaw created a Discord server for Conch Kingdom, which was later expanded to serve the entire Alliance. This marked a significant step in fostering communication and collaboration among Alliance members, laying the groundwork for the organization's future growth and cohesion.<br />
<br />
The Alliance's military capabilities were further consolidated with the founding of the Joint Task Force (JTF), which merged the forces of Conch Kingdom and the Cape of Good Hope into an advanced, update-capable independent military. The JTF gained valuable experience during a weeks-long siege of the region Femdom Empire, which ultimately failed but allowed Alliance forces to forge strong relationships with defender organizations.<br />
<br />
In January 2017, August successfully recaptured Ridgefield, a region he had originally founded in October 2010 but had lost to a region-squatter. Ridgefield was reestablished with a unique meritocratic government system, featuring strict quality regulations and mandatory World Assembly membership. Later that year, Land's End was officially launched after being planned since March 2016. Its capitalist structure, resembling a publicly-traded corporation, filled a niche in a market dominated by liberal democracies and communist regimes. Land's End quickly became a strong contributor to the Alliance, driving Discord traffic and deploying nations with the JTF.<br />
<br />
The Alliance gained international recognition during the April Fools 2017 nuclear war event, where its coordinated efforts led to a surprising victory. This success was followed by the addition of Narnia in June 2017, a region with a unique internal faction-based system. However, on August 13, 2017, the Alliance was temporarily shut down to allow leadership, particularly August, a break and to test the regions' ability to operate independently. Despite the shutdown, the regions continued to function, and the Alliance was briefly revived during a second nuclear war event later that year, securing another victory.<br />
<br />
In May 2018, the Alliance was officially revived, and the Central Strategic Committee (CSC) was established to oversee its operations. The CSC, composed of high-ranking officials, provided guidance and support to member regions while maintaining a hands-off approach to regional governance. Despite setbacks, including a record-low score in the 2018 NDay event, the Alliance achieved a third-place finish in 2019.<br />
<br />
August's inactivity in early 2019 led to a period of uncertainty, but the appointment of Emiline (commonly known as "Emi") as co-administrator in September 2019 provided stability. Emi played a key role in maintaining the Alliance's operations, particularly during a failed referendum in Conch Kingdom that sought to withdraw from the Alliance.<br />
<br />
In 2020, the Alliance faced external challenges and internal governance complexities due to August's reduced involvement. Despite these difficulties, the Alliance secured a first-place victory in the NDay event, marking a triumphant return to form. Following this success, the Alliance retired from NDay, and in December 2020, DiRito, the sole administrator at the time, retired, leaving Emi as the de-facto leader. In June 2021, August appointed Cle brait as the second Administrator of the Alliance, marking what would likely be his final executive act as leader. August withdrew from NationStates in October 2021, leaving the Alliance under the stewardship of Emi and Cle brait.<br />
<br />
In February 2023, the Augustin Alliance began a gradual integration process with Anteria, a region established in 2015. Anteria was originally founded by Emiline outside the Alliance, prior to the Alliance's existence, and had developed into a thriving community with its own unique identity. Over the preceding six years, Anteria had maintained a close and mutually beneficial relationship with the Alliance, characterized by significant cross-membership and collaboration between their respective communities. When Emiline assumed de-facto leadership of the Alliance in 2019, it became increasingly logical to consolidate her holdings, leading to the decision to formally integrate Anteria into the Alliance. <br />
<br />
The period from 2021 to 2023 proved challenging for the Augustin Alliance. August's prolonged absence left the organization without mechanical onsite control, relying on outdated systems and infrastructure that were no longer fully accessible. This precarious situation necessitated a difficult but necessary transition to secure the Alliance's future. On October 27, 2023, a significant leadership transition took place. Emiline, who had served as the second-in-command and de-facto leader since 2019, formally obtained mechanical control over all Alliance regions. This transfer of supreme authority from August to Emiline marked the beginning of the second generation of the Augustin Alliance, signaling a new era of governance and direction for the organization.<br />
<br />
==Overarching Policy==<br />
<br />
While the regions of the Augustin Alliance operate as autonomous entities, each maintaining control over its own laws, customs, and infrastructure, they are bound by a set of overarching policies established by the Alliance. These policies, which were integrated on January 28, 2021, ensure a unified framework for conduct, governance, and operational standards across all member regions. Compliance with these guidelines is mandatory and covers areas such as regional conduct, adherence to shared rules, maintenance of essential infrastructure, and respect for the hierarchical structure of the Alliance.<br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
===Central Strategic Committee===<br />
The '''Central Strategic Committee (CSC)''' serves as a supra-governmental body within the Augustin Alliance, providing guidance, support, and regulation to its member regions, as well as its military and diplomatic branches.The highest-ranking officials of the CSC include the Allied Commander, who holds absolute discretionary authority over all aspects of the Alliance, and the Administrator(s), who wield similar powers.The remainder of the CSC is composed of CSC Officers, who form a collective and consensual council. These officers do not hold authority over one another and operate as equals.<br />
<br />
Collectively, the CSC is responsible for setting overarching policies for the Alliance, imposing sanctions on regions or individuals when necessary, and developing and implementing initiatives aimed at improving the organization. While the CSC plays a central role in maintaining the Alliance's cohesion and standards, it does not directly interfere with regional laws, governmental procedures, or military operations and strategy—unless these conflict with established Alliance policies. This structure ensures that member regions retain their autonomy while adhering to the shared principles and frameworks that define the Alliance as a whole.<br />
<br />
*The '''Allied Commander''' is the head of Alliance and is Governor of all member regions. The Allied Commander is absolute and has full discretionary power over all aspects of the Augustin Alliance and its subsidiaries.The current Allied Commander is Emiline.<br />
*The '''Administrator(s)''' is the second-highest authority within the Augustin Alliance, serving directly under the Allied Commander. Tasked with carrying out the Allied Commander's authority including maintaining structural and social order offsite, overseeing day-to-day operations, and providing guidance to member regions and subsidiary organizations. The current Administrators are Socialist Platypus who serves as the Senior and Papalania who serves as Junior.<br />
*The '''Oversight Officer''' serves as the Chief of Staff, tasked with ensuring that primary functions in each region are running smoothly. The Oversight Officer reports weekly to the CSC, providing updates on regional operations and identifying areas requiring attention or improvement. The current Oversight Officer is Bonne Blue Republic.<br />
*The '''Diplomatic Officer''' is responsible for managing the Alliance's foreign affairs, fostering relationships with external regions, and representing the Alliance in diplomatic matters. The current Diplomatic Officer is Haymarket Riot.<br />
*The '''Defense Officer''' builds endorsements and influence across regions, publishes WA vote recommendations, and oversees R/D coordination with the Alliance Regional Guard and Operational Service (ARGOS), the Alliance's military reserve federation. The Current Defense Officer is Rei Khan.<br />
*The '''Culture Officer''' is responsible for planning Alliance-hosted events, coordinating with regional culture officials, and creating graphic materials to enhance the Alliance's cultural and social engagement. This role plays a vital part in fostering community spirit and ensuring vibrant, inclusive activities across all member regions. The current Culture Officer is Kathricore.<br />
*The '''Personnel Officer''' works closely with individual regions to develop and implement strategies for recruitment, retention, and integration of new members. This role is essential for ensuring the growth and stability of the Alliance by fostering active and engaged communities across all regions. The current Personnel Officer is TESDAI.<br />
*The '''Tech Officer''' manages offsite bot functions, ensuring the smooth operation of the Alliance's technological infrastructure. This role oversees the maintenance and development of Augury, the custom bot designed specifically for the Augustin Alliance. The current Tech Officer is Deims Kir.<br />
*The '''Head Moderator ''' oversees off site moderation, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all members of the Augustin Alliance. This role is responsible for managing the moderation team and appointing new moderators as needed. The current Head Moderator is Ciapore.<br />
<br />
===Tribunes===<br />
The '''Tribunes''' are a unique body within the Augustin Alliance, fulfilling roles that blend the functions of ombudsman, librarians, and Roman-style tribunes. Elected by the populace, the Tribunes serve as a bridge between the Central Strategic Committee and the general membership, ensuring greater involvement and direct engagement in Alliance affairs. Their responsibilities include advocating for member concerns, preserving and organizing regional records, and facilitating communication between the CSC and the broader community.<br />
<br />
The current Tribunes are Moduland, Gondor, and Hooseria Magna.<br />
<br />
===The Court of Officials===<br />
While each region within the Augustin Alliance governs itself individually, the Regional Officers (ROs) of all member regions come together to form the '''Court of Officials'''. This body serves as a collective forum for providing input and consent on Alliance-wide affairs. The Court of Officials plays a key role in decision-making processes, requiring unanimous consent via vote to pass major Alliance-wide measures, such as treaties, policies, or bans. This structure ensures that all regions have a voice in shaping the Alliance's direction while maintaining their autonomy and individuality.<br />

The '''Augustin Alliance''' is a multi-region network founded on July 22, 2016, by August. Established to promote cooperation, the exchange of ideas, and free trade, the Alliance brings together regions with distinct themes, purposes, and cultural identities, all united by shared values and their common founder.

<div>==History of the New Pacific Order==<br />
<br />
===The August Revolution===<br />
Francos Spain took the Delegacy of The Pacific from inactive Delegate Thedoc on August 28, 2003 after accumulating sufficient endorsements through both internal operation and external forces to seize the region from the democratic defender regime. The New Pacific Order under its historical and present name was founded on August 31, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Francos Spain proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while allies InfernoIce, Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly alongside him. 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 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]]. Poskrebyshev was the first Senator, and InfernoIce the second. Francos Spain maintained control of The Pacific despite many efforts, both poorly formed and organized by some of the largest alliances and regions in the game, to mechanically take the delegacy from him. Over the course of his months, he also at one point dropped UN status on his nation, stating that he had done so to prove that the region loved him and he was not just a dictator[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4559&pid=28844#pid28844].<br />
<br />
===The Opposition===<br />
<br />
One opposing side and host to the deposed former delegate of The Pacific was [[The Pacific Army]]. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support while using the frequently inactive forrmer delegate Thedoc to claim legitimacy, although other groups tried individually as well. The Pacific Army as a rallying point served as a propaganda machine rather than a militarily threatening force. They resorted to various tactics such as sneaking in spies, generating propaganda, spamming the region, and rallying further outside support against the figure they saw as an unrelenting dictator. Their efforts were not as notable as those by other individuals. Major figures supporting The Pacific Army were the Alliance Defense Network and a coalition of other allies including the Rejected Realms Army, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The East Pacific, and several other regions. Most of the game was arrayed against the New Pacific Order and attacks continued for months. During this time, a Senate comprised of various loyal individuals was established[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/145/announcing-formation-pacific-senate?page=1], with the main figures being Poskrebyshev, InfernoIce, Bertram Stantrous, and Mammothistan. Many of them worked tirelessly in a capacity for Intelligence work as a counter to the numerous enemies scattered across the game.<br />
<br />
An introductory meeting to seize The Pacific from Francos Spain was led by the New Meritocracy and backed by the powerful Alliance Defense Network. It was referred to as the "Summit"[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/259/meritocratic-times-article-npo?page=1&scrollTo=7501]. Initial efforts involved planting nations and slipping UN nations into the region to endorse point nations. There were tensions between the allies when a member of the Alliance Defense Network attempted to take the Delegacy for himself. Requests that he desist were met with compliance. Francos Spain and his Senators proved adept at identifying these points, however, and they banjected the liberation forces from the region before they could accumulate enough endorsements to replace him in the delegacy. <br />
<br />
One particularly notable attempt by an antagonistic individual occurred when a game glitch (referred to as the Battle of the Glitch) removed Francos Spain from the Delegacy[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/184/franco-risen] in late October of 2003. Corinthe, a defender initially from the Alliance Defense Network and later The Youngworld, piled with well over a hundred nations after his removal to attempt to take the delegacy through glitch exploit. The Moderators initially ruled that all nations had to depart because exploiting a glitch was against the rules[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65214#pid65214]. Their departure made it easier for Francos Spain to reclaim the seat with all of his endorsements, though he still had to oppose a large pile that returned when [violet] permitted it[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65233#pid65233]. Like all other attempts, this one failed on October 28, 2003 by a margin of two endorsements, and Corinthe and all endorsers were banjected from the region. Francos Spain posted the following World Factbook Entry[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65229#pid65229] after regaining control of the region:<br />
<br />
''"Yesterday, we expelled the filthy hordes of opportunists; the flocks of vultures who tried to swoop in and pick us apart, and LO! We live on, stronger than ever! My thanks to the many steadfast nations who supported me against those foreign devils. Also, today, Tuesday, October 28th is the Day of Pacific Revolution. This marks the two month anniversary of my initial rise to the Delegacy. The New Pacific Order is now the most stable and longest lasting administration in the history of the Pacific."''<br />
<br />
Francos Spain additionally wrote his own concise history of The Pacific[https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=53204026].<br />
<br />
===The New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
After the failure of the Battle of the Glitch, regions returned to the same enthusiastic but disorganized propaganda efforts that achieved very little of mechanical value. Over the course of the next half-year, several former avowed enemies such as [[LadyRebels]] and [[1 Infinite Loop]] joined the forums of the New Pacific Order and became more acquainted with the community. Eventually peace was made with The South Pacific[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/237/delegate-south-pacific?page=1]. The East Pacific and the New Pacific Order signed a treaty and lasting friendships were established. The Alliance Defense Network continued on as an enemy, but the New Pacific Order made alliances with regions such as the USSR and New Sparrow over a period of months. As time passed, more and more regions began to recognize the New Pacific Order as legitimate. There were many holdouts, such as The North Pacific, especially under the intensely hostile Twoslit Experiment, and the Rejected Realms Army, especially related to [[CrazyGirl]], who was also a member of The Pacific Army. Francos Spain wished to establish a Roman Republic theme initially but in the face of accusations of being a dictator, wound up making it as much of a Russian/Soviet theme as a Roman Republic one.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network remained a powerful enemy and many efforts to combat them were undertaken, such as an attempt to support a coup initiated by Great Bight, in which moderators permitted a cheat tactic known as Puppetmaster to take the delegacy back for the Alliance Defense Network and their allies. The cheat exploit had initially been planned to use against the New Pacific Order but was used instead to reclaim the delegacy of The North Pacific. Francos was involved in this but only to a peripheral degree, as his nation after initially endotarting went inactive and the claim that he had gone on vacation was utilized. The New Pacific Order claimed that the effort was due to not wanting to see instability in The North Pacific and maintained this story.<br />
<br />
With alliances formed, some lasting, some not, the New Pacific Order continued on with Francos Spain at the helm. New members continued to file in as former enemies began to slowly realize that the New Pacific Order was not as loathsome as their allies would have them believe. Some of these former enemies later became Senators or Governors. With new members and activity surging, the New Pacific Order despite setbacks in The North Pacific was doing well for itself. They aimed to win the culture war and defeat the propaganda of the opposition. The forums of The Pacific became a favored place to cultivate time in good company despite their demonized reputation.<br />
<br />
===The People's Republic of The Pacific===<br />
<br />
The time of Francos Spain came to a close when he and Poskrebyshev chose to depart NationStates. With the inspiration for the Revolution departed and a foreign affairs image to ameliorate, the response by new Emperor Unlimited and the remaining Senate was to found the People's Republic of the Pacific (PRP) as a slightly different but still effective operational clone of the New Pacific Order. This took place on September 1, 2004. They operated almost exactly the same and were a continuation of the New Pacific Order, but operated under another name. They used this rebrand to improve the image of The Pacific and ultimately secure recognition of their legitimacy among others, including numerous holdouts who had stubbornly clung to the rhetoric of the deposed natives and the defenders. The Senate comprised of Mammothistan and BlackAdder remained similar to what it had been, with some new additions such as Mussolandia, Doppelganger, Chosen Men, and Warrior Thorin. Sir Paul and and Warrior Thorin retired not long after Francos Spain ceased to exist and after the events in The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic of The Pacific served as a public relations tool to soften the hard image of the New Pacific Order that had earned them so many enemies early on. To some people who believed this wholly, they refer to the People's Republic of The Pacific as the golden age of The Pacific to this day. While the time of the People's Republic of The Pacific was excellent for foreign affairs relations and further solidifying the decision to recognize the regime established by Francos Spain as legitimate, it maintained the core principles upon which the New Pacific Order was initially founded. During its existence there were several more coup attempts on The North Pacific, some of which were attributed to members of the People's Republic of The Pacific and an alliance with ambitious anti-United Nations organization Gatesville was concluded. Strong alliances with The East Pacific, USSR, New Sparrow, and Gatesville allowed for a much more influential stance on the world stage. <br />
<br />
On April 16, 2005, Pope Hope sent Alliance Defense Network operatives to invade The Pacific. When it was proven that this was the case, the Alliance Defense Network backed down.[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/101639-the-pacific-chronicle/] They had been planning to use tactics similar to those of the Puppetmaster siege on The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
Mammothistan applied to have the New Pacific Order join the Alliance Defense Network as a joke, which did not sit well with the Alliance Defense Network. Intense disagreements arose over the issue and it ultimately culminated in refusing the application, as most players had expected. The People's Republic of The Pacific was known for several of these joking maneuvers. To some it is remembered as the golden age of The Pacific despite the fact that it was largely the same New Pacific Order under a new branding. Many of the same members remained in leadership roles throughout the existence of this iteration of the New Pacific Order. This was interrupted by the introduction of a new game into the playing field: CyberNations.<br />
<br />
===The Advent and Effect of CyberNations===<br />
<br />
The discovery of CyberNations was a titanic event that led to the loss of a generation of talent from NationStates. Older, established members and mid-level staff migrated to the new game and essentially abandoned NationStates. Hardest hit by this advent were the activity of The Pacific and the leadership of the Alliance Defense Network. Many former enemies even flocked to join the New Pacific Order in CyberNations, such as Unistrut and Dilber of the Alliance Defense Network and Blackbird of the Red Liberty Alliance. The losses incurred by the migration took almost a decade to mitigate. While it was not the death of the New Pacific Order, it was one of the death blows to the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
===The Return of the New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
BlackAdder, seeing the devastating effects of CyberNations on NationStates activity, took a drastic step to try to reignite that lacking activity. As Emperor, he reestablished the New Pacific Order out of both nostalgia and necessity. Mammothistan opposed this effort and was exiled as a traitor to the Order. BlackAdder ended up exiling most of the Senators from the People's Republic of The Pacific era of The Pacific. BlackAdder's new Senate added former The South Pacific Delegate, Goddessness, Sixguns, and Moo Cows with Guns. The bid for igniting new activity was largely unsuccessful in the long term but in the short term successfully brought a measure of life back into an organization hit particularly hard by the new game. The New Pacific Order under BlackAdder formed the Later Alliance with Gatesville, USSR, and New Sparrow to oppose what remained of the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network ultimately collapsed when regions began to realize that they didn't need it as much as it needed them. One by one, the major regions split off and it dwindled away until it no longer existed. The Alliance Defense Network was dead by the end of 2007 and the greatest threat to the New Pacific Order had died. <br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi succeeded BlackAdder and during his term, he purged The Pacific to a point that site administration ultimately implemented Influence, a mechanic designed to disable the ability of delegates to raze a region to the ground without problems. Influence was widely considered a devastating mechanic, but it prevented further such purges of Feeder regions. After one such purge, Ivan Moldavi chose to appoint Moo Cows With Guns to the seat. Moo Cows With Guns was active and interested and connected in CyberNations. Ivan Moldavi had worked to make the two games work in harmony and Moo Cows With Guns was thus a logical successor in his estimation.<br />
<br />
===Turmoil and Treason===<br />
<br />
Moo Cows with Guns became the Delegate of The Pacific when Ivan stepped down. His term was full of turmoil and inactivity in varying patterns. The most prominent happenstance during his term was the sheer volume of attempted coups by many in the game, including some of his own Senators, to try and save The Pacific from the inactivity Moo Cows with Guns allowed. His Senate projected an external view of activity by Moo Cows with Guns himself. Internally, they were the ones endotarting for Moo Cows with Guns, as he could not be bothered to log in on a regular basis. One of the most prolific series of attempts to coup Moo Cows with Guns internally were committed by Senator of Intelligence Darkesia, who disliked Moo Cows with Guns' inactivity and wished to restore the New Pacific Order to its former glory. Moo Cows with Guns managed to find out about one of these coups and exiled her for treason.<br />
<br />
Externally, there were also several events that occurred. The North Pacific temporarily declared war for reasons generally unknown. A group called The Pacific Revolutionary Front attempted to coup Moo Cows with Guns. A defense pact known as the Azure Alliance comprised of signatories The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Taijitu and The Pacific was formed. Gatesville planned with a region called Dhaka to coup Moo Cows with Guns. At one point Moo Cows with Guns conducted a discussion with Empire about Gaspoinia's interest in The Pacific becoming a part of Empire and was told by Empress Lady Phedre (Minineenee) that they had no desire to ally with Moo Cows with Guns as Delegate. Foreign affairs was marred by a general contempt for how far the CyberNations-focused Moo Cows with Guns had run The Pacific's activity into the ground.<br />
<br />
Internally, the Senators made many attempts to restore activity despite Moo Cows with Guns' lack of activity and responsiveness. Ivan Moldavi initiated an effort to rebrand to stir up activity again, proposing several names but eventually settling on the Union Sovereign States of The Pacific. He also proposed an elected Senator to represent the member base to the Senate, though that was not implemented at the time ultimately. New Kervoskia contacted many outside friends in other regions to try and generate various forms of public drama to encourage a rise of responsiveness. While none of these could quite defeat Moo Cows with Guns' damage to the region, they set the groundwork for the next delegate to fix the problems.<br />
<br />
===Longevity and Ambition===<br />
<br />
Early in the Krulltopia era, Gaspoinia pushed for the creation of the position of Senator of Administration. This granted him an administrator position on the New Pacific Order forums. With his work combined with that of several other Senators, activity began to pick up again to an extent. Krulltopia ran into his first problem two years into his term: he could not find a successor willing to take the seat to replace him. A lack of a suitable successor would keep him in office for another four years. Francoism, temporarily discontinued under Moo Cows With Guns, was brought back in full force by Krulltopia's administration. Under the claim of eliminating treaties with "userite" regions, all UCR treaties save those with Gatesville were cancelled immediately. Gaspoinia, now inundated with significant power in the region and holding a monopoly on The Pacific's foreign affairs direction, continued to establish his control.<br />
<br />
The initial burst of activity had begun to taper off slightly again when it came to pass that A Mean Old Man and Feux ascended to the Senate. Shortly after this, Milograd followed after his coup of The South Pacific which had been themed on a socialist republic[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=14052934#p14052934]. Milograd was not removed from the region despite claims of intent to punish him, but instead made the head of Foreign Affairs. Not long after this, he, too, joined Krulltopia's Senate. This became most relevant because, combined with Senator Karpathos, the four of them began to wage war against Gaspoinia from within. After a massive internal struggle, Gaspoinia, whose ambitions to draw The Pacific into Gatesville's aegis yet further were in the process of expanding, lost the battle for power against the four. He attempted to coup the region before his exit, but was stopped before any lasting damage could be done.<br />
<br />
This left Feux, A Mean Old Man, Milograd, and Karpathos with a large amount of control of the Pacific Senate. None of them were considered for the position of Regent, however, that instead falling to Elegarth and Rothinzil. Both continued the trend of refusing to take the seat from Krulltopia, and his other options for succession were deemed unwelcome. The New Pacific Order by 2014 had become characterized by contributions from long-term members such as Aleisyr, Foreign Affairs moves by Elegarth, and ambitious seeking of the Delegacy by Feux. However, activity had begun to siphon away from The Pacific after Feux couped Lazarus and took control of the region from the Imperialists. He, along with some Lazarene natives who supported his operation, contributed to the creation of the People's Republic of Lazarus only months after Milograd's initial coup of The South Pacific. Defenders and the New Pacific Order allied to create the new regime in Lazarus, resulting in a new bloc quite different from that which Gaspoinia had attempted to build. Milograd came to serve as Delegate and Chairman of the People's Republic of Lazarus, marking the region with a new time of great activity and energy. The toll taken on The Pacific by the migration of activity to Lazarus was marked.<br />
<br />
Krulltopia continued to rule The Pacific, but trouble was on the horizon, as the People's Republic of Lazarus would be overthrown to create a name that would live on in infamy.<br />
<br />
Feux, by now the Regent of the New Pacific Order, and Stujenske, the Chairman of Lazarus, decided to coup the region in early 2015. This decision was driven by backlash from banjecting the problematic player Funkadelia, who was raising a fuss over his banjection. Between trouble in the region and their other choice, they overthrew the People's Republic of Lazarus and created the New Lazarene Order. The New Pacific Order decided to back the New Lazarene Order despite better judgment and called in reinforcements from the CyberNations branch. Over 150 pilers were brought to play on the side of the New Lazarene Order, stopping the full impact of the loss of native Lazarene endorsements on Stujenske. Most of the Game Created Regions and many others cut ties with The Pacific and joined a coalition to fight against the mechanical holding of Lazarus. The liberation attempts continuously failed. The Pacific was Condemned[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=177/council=2] by the rest of NationStates using the World Assembly, while Krulltopia[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=175/council=2] and A Mean Old Man[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=176/council=2] were stripped of their Commendations.<br />
<br />
The failures by the liberation force changed when Kazmr, a friend of Milograd's from the South Pacific Socialist Republic coup, betrayed the New Lazarene Order and his friend. Kazmr removed the leaders of the New Lazarene Order and gave the Delegacy back to the other Lazarenes and their allies. Krulltopia was soon given logs by Kazmr, and then Pergamon, of Feux and his allies planning to overthrow him. He banned all of them and chose the only remaining successor option with whom he felt comfortable and who did not reject the seat.<br />
<br />
===Restoration of Order===<br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi proceeded to succeed Krulltopia and undertook the task of stabilizing public relations and foreign affairs. He abolished Francoism almost immediately and banned hero-worship of Francos Spain, announcing both in public for the rest of NationStates to see. This did not change their problems in terms of difficulties with the other communities. The first step to change came in spring 2016 when Cormactopia couped the Osiris Fraternal Order in the face of a rogue individual. An agreement was struck wherein Cormactopia would support a repeal of the Condemnation of The Pacific and cease hostilities in exchange for the New Pacific Order recognizing his coup. The Osiris Fraternal Order was thus recognized as legitimate by the New Pacific Order and The Pacific lost its Condemnation[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=202/council=2].<br />
<br />
Once the Condemnation was gone, Ivan Moldavi proceeded to establish a new alliance with The West Pacific, Balder, and Osiris known as the GCR Sovereignty Accords[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=29261134#p29261134]. This was intended to form a powerful new bloc, though it ran into difficulties fairly quickly. The bloc's alliance with the raider region known as The Black Hawks and the new Regent, Pergamon, became a straining point that led to Osiris' eventual defection and the souring of relations between the remainders of the GCR Sovereignty Accords. The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order existed in a state of hostility due to this rivalry. This continued to cause difficulties with The West Pacific and Balder. Things intensified when a member of the Council of Hawks insulted The Pacific and the liberation of a roleplay region Ankh Mauta, which was at the time occupied by The Black Hawks, was ordered as retaliation. Pergamon publicly took the blame and the backlash and was removed voluntarily from the Regent position to prevent further difficulties. After an explosive fallout with New Kervoskia and Osiris, Ivan stepped down and granted the seat to Aleisyr.<br />
<br />
===The Return of Francoism===<br />
<br />
Aleisyr almost immediately reinstated Francoism after taking the seat per Pergamon's suggestion. Pergamon proceeded to establish the Legio Pacificus (later renamed the Legio Pacifica) with Karenus and the two of them built up a new military to replace the Pacific Expeditionary Force. Aleisyr's reign was marked with further tensions with The Black Hawks, whose influence in the Game Created Regions continued to cause a great deal of trouble. Pergamon and Ever-Wandering Souls, the effective leader of The Black Hawks, held a deep dislike for each other and many problems between The Pacific and The Black Hawks were rooted in this intense dislike. They reached a state of uneasy truce where they agreed to leave each other alone, precipitated by Pergamon's departure from the Consul position.<br />
<br />
Trouble began again when a prominent member of the Rahl family, another political rival of the New Pacific Order, and raiders Funkadelia, Lamb Stone, and Evil Wolf, began to import voters into Lazarus while Funkadelia was Delegate. Spotting the unusual influx, the defender Roavin caused a controversy by posting data exposing this under the name Curious Observations[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=490188]. Defenders began to import their own voters. As there was no evidence of the organization of the raider side other than public movements but ample evidence of defender importation via leaks, the defender side was portrayed as the villains. This was relevant to the New Pacific Order because the defender side had convinced Pergamon, and thus the New Pacific Order, that raiders were taking over Lazarus. The reaction was to create Task Force Lazarus, an intensely secret group intended to fight the raiders, as they saw them, and help reclaim the region. This would, they predicted, come with the additional bonus of a Lazarus more friendly to the New Pacific Order. They successfully helped incite a civil war within the region in the effort to stop the raiders. When the level of incompetence by The Resistance and the leaks of their chats were revealed, the New Pacific Order withdrew and left them to continue their failures alone.<br />
<br />
This did not become relevant again until Imkiville, formerly allied to Evil Wolf and Lamb Stone, seized Lazarus from them. The New Pacific Order sent in people to help stack against the attempts of others to take advantage of the situation, including Empire members and the former occupants of the region who had lost the seat. In order to ensure that the region never fell into their hands, Aleisyr reached out to Adytus, who revealed himself to be none other than Feux, who had only recently been permitted to return to The Pacific after Krulltopia's ban. Feux proceeded to serve as backup in the instance that Imki lost to the deposed party and their allies, as he was trusted to an extent by them under the name Adytus. When Imkiville's victory was assured, the New Pacific Order took a position to help rebuild the region. Tensions were fraught and interests were tested in these groups. The Constitutional Convention failed and Imkiville couped one last time, establishing the region through a less democratic method, much to the outrage of prominent members of The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms.<br />
<br />
With Lazarus successfully liberated, the New Pacific Order looked away from the region for what they thought was a last time and back to their own interests. They established an alliance with The East Pacific, something that had been severed for a time after the New Lazarene Order. The GCR Sovereignty Accords was eliminated due to irreconcilable differences largely centered in an inability to compromise and unwillingness to pursue the relationship. Tensions between The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order reignited when Aleisyr reappointed Pergamon as Consul in the latter half of 2018. This culminated, not in a public outcry, but in an attempt by The Black Hawks to raid St Abbaddon, a region which had been invaded and then made a protectorate by The Pacific after its most prominent member, Topid, offered offense in the form of anti-New Pacific Order propaganda displayed on the region. Topid served as an ally to The Black Hawks, who sought to use rhetoric alien to raiders to turn public opinion in favor of Topid. The Black Hawks missed the target and the resulting pile-off ended in over 300 nations combined piling for control of the region. The fate of St Abbaddon in this time was ultimately decided by the return of the friendly Delegate Kitsco, who banned many of the invaders. The remainders were kicked by members of the Legio Pacificus who were granted Regional Officer status temporarily.<br />
<br />
War was declared on The Black Hawks, a struggle both the New Pacific Order and The Black Hawks had sought, and it looked as if a new battle was about to be openly fought across the game. However, only days later, an unnamed individual seeking to be restored to community membership betrayed Feux and A Mean Old Man and leaked details of Adytus' activities as well as exposing that Feux's allies had been involved. The individual also revealed that Pergamon and Aleisyr had known of his presence. Yet more leaks by another unnamed individual to Cormactopia further in regards to Task Force Lazarus and other details damaged Pergamon and Aleisyr, while a separate grievance afflicted another Senator, Svezjacael. One of the biggest public relations disasters in New Pacific Order history had begun. <br />
<br />
Faced with little choice over the nature of the threats against them, which transcended in-game hostility, Aleisyr transferred the title of Emperor to Lord of Darkness when his potential NationStates New Pacific Order candidates refused the seat. Pergamon and Aleisyr brought new members onto the Senate in hopes that they could replace and repair the damage. Feux, A Mean Old Man, and Stujenske were permanently banned. Jar Wattinree and Xoriet were appointed to Senate as emergency additions. Soon after, Ivan Moldavi would return and also be reappointed. Lord of Darkness additionally reinstated Elegarth, who returned to the region at his request. Pergamon volunteered for a ban to save the region, while Svezjacael was given an exile with conditions. Almost all treaties save that with The East Pacific were cancelled or talks to cancel said treaties were initiated. The Pacific was Condemned a second time.<br />
<br />
===A New Era===<br />
<br />
The Anti-Pacific Coalition formed despite the demands of all regions being almost perfectly met. Ivan Moldavi handled most of the public fallout, with some assistance from Milograd. Members of the Anti-Pacific Coalition attempted to get the new Senate members blacklisted on an OOC level in an attempt to stop them from exerting positive influence over the foreign affairs of The Pacific. These attempts failed ultimately. Elegarth and Xoriet continued to work mostly behind the scenes on that front. Meanwhile, the internal organization of the New Pacific Order was under constant discussion, namely what had gone wrong to cause such a disaster in the first place. All forms of espionage against other regions, as well as coups, were declared illegal and banned under Imperial decree. Francoism was once again abolished, this time with plans to ensure that it never return as an ideology. A new addition in the form of the elected Senate position of Vox Populi was enacted, though the first election would not occur until March.<br />
<br />
The twin mechanical defenses of St Abbaddon and The Pacific continued on, with support from all branches having been summoned. St Abbaddon's treaty was ultimately cancelled when they failed to uphold their end of the bargain and did not recruit, instead relying on the New Pacific Order for support. The Anti-Pacific Coalition promptly piled the region and called it a victory. The Pacific ignored their propaganda and continued to work on internal reforms and external mitigation of the damage. In the meantime, the Anti-Pacific Coalition began to experience troubles of their own. Ever-Wandering Souls was exposed through leaks of a raider commander chat known as The Red Phone as having planned to coup The South Pacific. The Black Hawks avoided much of the fallout by pinning the blame solely on Ever-Wandering Souls and allowing the heat to be redirected to another raider organization whose leadership had been present in the chat. The Anti-Pacific Coalition not long after lost Europeia, a major member, and other members slowly began to break off. They fell into inactivity, only perpetuating the unendorsement campaign against Lord of Darkness' NationStates nation, East Durthang.<br />
<br />
The Legio Pacifica was renamed and Xoriet took command, ceding full control of Foreign Affairs to Elegarth. Early struggles emerged between Lazarus, the New Pacific Order, and the Augustin Alliance in the Warzones, fighting over the New Pacific Order's Warzone Airspace embassy. This kept all parties occupied for a time, though eventually the New Pacific Order ceded the fight for the Warzone embassy in exchange for working with Antifa to capture the Teutonic League from fascists trying to defend the region. The Legio Pacifica was rebuilt with large help from Marina, who, as Praefectus (second-in-command), contributed massively to the activity and training of the military. <br />
<br />
Relations with The East Pacific became uneasy as Fedele, the elected Delegate, began to take a series of unorthodox actions in the region. This culminated in a coup attempt, and it was revealed that they had been planning the coup for months. The New Pacific Order and several other treaty allies of The East Pacific began to plan countermoves before the coup itself occurred, and were the first to issue statements against Fedele and his allies when the coup was executed. Fedele's coup ultimately failed, and relations with The East Pacific continued apace. <br />
<br />
Less than half a year later, Elegarth's work produced a Non-Aggression Pact with The South Pacific and The West Pacific, while Xoriet contributed to establishing a new treaty with Balder. Public relations continued to improve to some extent, especially when it was revealed the same year that some leaders of the Anti-Pacific Coalition had been involved in the votestacking effort in Lazarus that the Resistance had sought to halt. Relations eventually reached a point after several years of hard work that multiple strong treaties were signed, and foreign affairs was at an all-time high in modern NPO. After a time the architects of the Anti-Pacific Coalition ceased to be relevant or powerful and were no longer a threat. In 2022, the last vestiges of that entity vanished when Lazarus and the New Pacific Order reached a state of peace.<br />
<br />
2022 was also the rise of high conflict as raiders with a long history of anti-NPO sentiment began to rise to power. While the New Pacific Order maintained good relations with Lone Wolves United and neutral relations with The Black Hawks, the other forces in raiderdom would have done it harm if they could. Through careful alliance-building, the New Pacific Order achieved an historic peace and alliance with The North Pacific and The West Pacific called Pax Polaris Occidens, intended to protect the territories of the North and the West. The hostile forces were for a time forced to back down through the wishes of their own allies who maintained at least decent relations with The Pacific and The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
Xoriet, Marina, and Elegarth all stepped down after years of service and Syberis took the helm of Foreign Affairs. The time of conflict returned shortly after his ascendance to the position, and continues to this day. Regardless, the New Pacific Order maintains its belief in neutrality and staying out of the messes of other entities who would seek to exploit their forces. Syberis continued the work on Foreign Affairs, while Ender and Dimitri carried on the military legacy. Some conflicts arose during this time, wherein a raider organization declared hostilities against the allies of the New Pacific Order, and difficulties with former partners appeared. By the end of Lord of Darkness' term, this was resolved, and he concluded his delegacy with the longest period of no scandals in modern Pacifican history. Dimitri and Jar Wattinree were retired by Lord of Darkness.<br />
===The Changes Continue=== <br />

On August 1, 2024, Lord of Darkness appointed the first Empress of the New Pacific Order (NationStates), Xoriet. Syberis became Regent, and a time of revitalizing internal affairs began. Marina had also returned with Xoriet, and was appointed to Senator of Internal Affairs, where she began the process of setting up the Internal Affairs department, aided by Greyghost and Honourbound. NPO's activity spiked almost immediately and continued to rise. Newcomer to NS NPO Callisto was appointed as Senator of Diplomatic Affairs, where she immediately began to build even stronger relations with allies and friends. Under Xoriet, foreign affairs received a major boost once more. Her reign lasted six months as had been planned previously, ending on February 1, 2025. The delegacy transferred to Marina, the second Empress of the New Pacific Order in NationStates.<br />

<div>==History of the New Pacific Order==<br />
<br />
===The August Revolution===<br />
Francos Spain took the Delegacy of The Pacific from inactive Delegate Thedoc on August 28, 2003 after accumulating sufficient endorsements through both internal operation and external forces to seize the region from the democratic defender regime. The New Pacific Order under its historical and present name was founded on August 31, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Francos Spain proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while allies InfernoIce, Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly alongside him. 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 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]]. Poskrebyshev was the first Senator, and InfernoIce the second. Francos Spain maintained control of The Pacific despite many efforts, both poorly formed and organized by some of the largest alliances and regions in the game, to mechanically take the delegacy from him. Over the course of his months, he also at one point dropped UN status on his nation, stating that he had done so to prove that the region loved him and he was not just a dictator[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4559&pid=28844#pid28844].<br />
<br />
===The Opposition===<br />
<br />
One opposing side and host to the deposed former delegate of The Pacific was [[The Pacific Army]]. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support while using the frequently inactive forrmer delegate Thedoc to claim legitimacy, although other groups tried individually as well. The Pacific Army as a rallying point served as a propaganda machine rather than a militarily threatening force. They resorted to various tactics such as sneaking in spies, generating propaganda, spamming the region, and rallying further outside support against the figure they saw as an unrelenting dictator. Their efforts were not as notable as those by other individuals. Major figures supporting The Pacific Army were the Alliance Defense Network and a coalition of other allies including the Rejected Realms Army, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The East Pacific, and several other regions. Most of the game was arrayed against the New Pacific Order and attacks continued for months. During this time, a Senate comprised of various loyal individuals was established[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/145/announcing-formation-pacific-senate?page=1], with the main figures being Poskrebyshev, InfernoIce, Bertram Stantrous, and Mammothistan. Many of them worked tirelessly in a capacity for Intelligence work as a counter to the numerous enemies scattered across the game.<br />
<br />
An introductory meeting to seize The Pacific from Francos Spain was led by the New Meritocracy and backed by the powerful Alliance Defense Network. It was referred to as the "Summit"[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/259/meritocratic-times-article-npo?page=1&scrollTo=7501]. Initial efforts involved planting nations and slipping UN nations into the region to endorse point nations. There were tensions between the allies when a member of the Alliance Defense Network attempted to take the Delegacy for himself. Requests that he desist were met with compliance. Francos Spain and his Senators proved adept at identifying these points, however, and they banjected the liberation forces from the region before they could accumulate enough endorsements to replace him in the delegacy. <br />
<br />
One particularly notable attempt by an antagonistic individual occurred when a game glitch (referred to as the Battle of the Glitch) removed Francos Spain from the Delegacy[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/184/franco-risen] in late October of 2003. Corinthe, a defender initially from the Alliance Defense Network and later The Youngworld, piled with well over a hundred nations after his removal to attempt to take the delegacy through glitch exploit. The Moderators initially ruled that all nations had to depart because exploiting a glitch was against the rules[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65214#pid65214]. Their departure made it easier for Francos Spain to reclaim the seat with all of his endorsements, though he still had to oppose a large pile that returned when [violet] permitted it[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65233#pid65233]. Like all other attempts, this one failed on October 28, 2003 by a margin of two endorsements, and Corinthe and all endorsers were banjected from the region. Francos Spain posted the following World Factbook Entry[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65229#pid65229] after regaining control of the region:<br />
<br />
''"Yesterday, we expelled the filthy hordes of opportunists; the flocks of vultures who tried to swoop in and pick us apart, and LO! We live on, stronger than ever! My thanks to the many steadfast nations who supported me against those foreign devils. Also, today, Tuesday, October 28th is the Day of Pacific Revolution. This marks the two month anniversary of my initial rise to the Delegacy. The New Pacific Order is now the most stable and longest lasting administration in the history of the Pacific."''<br />
<br />
*Francos Spain additionally wrote his own concise history of The Pacific.<ref name=Francos Spain's Tale>[https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=53204026 Francos Spain's Recounting]</ref><br />
<br />
===The New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
After the failure of the Battle of the Glitch, regions returned to the same enthusiastic but disorganized propaganda efforts that achieved very little of mechanical value. Over the course of the next half-year, several former avowed enemies such as [[LadyRebels]] and [[1 Infinite Loop]] joined the forums of the New Pacific Order and became more acquainted with the community. Eventually peace was made with The South Pacific[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/237/delegate-south-pacific?page=1]. The East Pacific and the New Pacific Order signed a treaty and lasting friendships were established. The Alliance Defense Network continued on as an enemy, but the New Pacific Order made alliances with regions such as the USSR and New Sparrow over a period of months. As time passed, more and more regions began to recognize the New Pacific Order as legitimate. There were many holdouts, such as The North Pacific, especially under the intensely hostile Twoslit Experiment, and the Rejected Realms Army, especially related to [[CrazyGirl]], who was also a member of The Pacific Army. Francos Spain wished to establish a Roman Republic theme initially but in the face of accusations of being a dictator, wound up making it as much of a Russian/Soviet theme as a Roman Republic one.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network remained a powerful enemy and many efforts to combat them were undertaken, such as an attempt to support a coup initiated by Great Bight, in which moderators permitted a cheat tactic known as Puppetmaster to take the delegacy back for the Alliance Defense Network and their allies. The cheat exploit had initially been planned to use against the New Pacific Order but was used instead to reclaim the delegacy of The North Pacific. Francos was involved in this but only to a peripheral degree, as his nation after initially endotarting went inactive and the claim that he had gone on vacation was utilized. The New Pacific Order claimed that the effort was due to not wanting to see instability in The North Pacific and maintained this story.<br />
<br />
With alliances formed, some lasting, some not, the New Pacific Order continued on with Francos Spain at the helm. New members continued to file in as former enemies began to slowly realize that the New Pacific Order was not as loathsome as their allies would have them believe. Some of these former enemies later became Senators or Governors. With new members and activity surging, the New Pacific Order despite setbacks in The North Pacific was doing well for itself. They aimed to win the culture war and defeat the propaganda of the opposition. The forums of The Pacific became a favored place to cultivate time in good company despite their demonized reputation.<br />
<br />
===The People's Republic of The Pacific===<br />
<br />
The time of Francos Spain came to a close when he and Poskrebyshev chose to depart NationStates. With the inspiration for the Revolution departed and a foreign affairs image to ameliorate, the response by new Emperor Unlimited and the remaining Senate was to found the People's Republic of the Pacific (PRP) as a slightly different but still effective operational clone of the New Pacific Order. This took place on September 1, 2004. They operated almost exactly the same and were a continuation of the New Pacific Order, but operated under another name. They used this rebrand to improve the image of The Pacific and ultimately secure recognition of their legitimacy among others, including numerous holdouts who had stubbornly clung to the rhetoric of the deposed natives and the defenders. The Senate comprised of Mammothistan and BlackAdder remained similar to what it had been, with some new additions such as Mussolandia, Doppelganger, Chosen Men, and Warrior Thorin. Sir Paul and and Warrior Thorin retired not long after Francos Spain ceased to exist and after the events in The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic of The Pacific served as a public relations tool to soften the hard image of the New Pacific Order that had earned them so many enemies early on. To some people who believed this wholly, they refer to the People's Republic of The Pacific as the golden age of The Pacific to this day. While the time of the People's Republic of The Pacific was excellent for foreign affairs relations and further solidifying the decision to recognize the regime established by Francos Spain as legitimate, it maintained the core principles upon which the New Pacific Order was initially founded. During its existence there were several more coup attempts on The North Pacific, some of which were attributed to members of the People's Republic of The Pacific and an alliance with ambitious anti-United Nations organization Gatesville was concluded. Strong alliances with The East Pacific, USSR, New Sparrow, and Gatesville allowed for a much more influential stance on the world stage. <br />
<br />
On April 16, 2005, Pope Hope sent Alliance Defense Network operatives to invade The Pacific. When it was proven that this was the case, the Alliance Defense Network backed down.[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/101639-the-pacific-chronicle/] They had been planning to use tactics similar to those of the Puppetmaster siege on The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
Mammothistan applied to have the New Pacific Order join the Alliance Defense Network as a joke, which did not sit well with the Alliance Defense Network. Intense disagreements arose over the issue and it ultimately culminated in refusing the application, as most players had expected. The People's Republic of The Pacific was known for several of these joking maneuvers. To some it is remembered as the golden age of The Pacific despite the fact that it was largely the same New Pacific Order under a new branding. Many of the same members remained in leadership roles throughout the existence of this iteration of the New Pacific Order. This was interrupted by the introduction of a new game into the playing field: CyberNations.<br />
<br />
===The Advent and Effect of CyberNations===<br />
<br />
The discovery of CyberNations was a titanic event that led to the loss of a generation of talent from NationStates. Older, established members and mid-level staff migrated to the new game and essentially abandoned NationStates. Hardest hit by this advent were the activity of The Pacific and the leadership of the Alliance Defense Network. Many former enemies even flocked to join the New Pacific Order in CyberNations, such as Unistrut and Dilber of the Alliance Defense Network and Blackbird of the Red Liberty Alliance. The losses incurred by the migration took almost a decade to mitigate. While it was not the death of the New Pacific Order, it was one of the death blows to the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
===The Return of the New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
BlackAdder, seeing the devastating effects of CyberNations on NationStates activity, took a drastic step to try to reignite that lacking activity. As Emperor, he reestablished the New Pacific Order out of both nostalgia and necessity. Mammothistan opposed this effort and was exiled as a traitor to the Order. BlackAdder ended up exiling most of the Senators from the People's Republic of The Pacific era of The Pacific. BlackAdder's new Senate added former The South Pacific Delegate, Goddessness, Sixguns, and Moo Cows with Guns. The bid for igniting new activity was largely unsuccessful in the long term but in the short term successfully brought a measure of life back into an organization hit particularly hard by the new game. The New Pacific Order under BlackAdder formed the Later Alliance with Gatesville, USSR, and New Sparrow to oppose what remained of the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network ultimately collapsed when regions began to realize that they didn't need it as much as it needed them. One by one, the major regions split off and it dwindled away until it no longer existed. The Alliance Defense Network was dead by the end of 2007 and the greatest threat to the New Pacific Order had died. <br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi succeeded BlackAdder and during his term, he purged The Pacific to a point that site administration ultimately implemented Influence, a mechanic designed to disable the ability of delegates to raze a region to the ground without problems. Influence was widely considered a devastating mechanic, but it prevented further such purges of Feeder regions. After one such purge, Ivan Moldavi chose to appoint Moo Cows With Guns to the seat. Moo Cows With Guns was active and interested and connected in CyberNations. Ivan Moldavi had worked to make the two games work in harmony and Moo Cows With Guns was thus a logical successor in his estimation.<br />
<br />
===Turmoil and Treason===<br />
<br />
Moo Cows with Guns became the Delegate of The Pacific when Ivan stepped down. His term was full of turmoil and inactivity in varying patterns. The most prominent happenstance during his term was the sheer volume of attempted coups by many in the game, including some of his own Senators, to try and save The Pacific from the inactivity Moo Cows with Guns allowed. His Senate projected an external view of activity by Moo Cows with Guns himself. Internally, they were the ones endotarting for Moo Cows with Guns, as he could not be bothered to log in on a regular basis. One of the most prolific series of attempts to coup Moo Cows with Guns internally were committed by Senator of Intelligence Darkesia, who disliked Moo Cows with Guns' inactivity and wished to restore the New Pacific Order to its former glory. Moo Cows with Guns managed to find out about one of these coups and exiled her for treason.<br />
<br />
Externally, there were also several events that occurred. The North Pacific temporarily declared war for reasons generally unknown. A group called The Pacific Revolutionary Front attempted to coup Moo Cows with Guns. A defense pact known as the Azure Alliance comprised of signatories The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Taijitu and The Pacific was formed. Gatesville planned with a region called Dhaka to coup Moo Cows with Guns. At one point Moo Cows with Guns conducted a discussion with Empire about Gaspoinia's interest in The Pacific becoming a part of Empire and was told by Empress Lady Phedre (Minineenee) that they had no desire to ally with Moo Cows with Guns as Delegate. Foreign affairs was marred by a general contempt for how far the CyberNations-focused Moo Cows with Guns had run The Pacific's activity into the ground.<br />
<br />
Internally, the Senators made many attempts to restore activity despite Moo Cows with Guns' lack of activity and responsiveness. Ivan Moldavi initiated an effort to rebrand to stir up activity again, proposing several names but eventually settling on the Union Sovereign States of The Pacific. He also proposed an elected Senator to represent the member base to the Senate, though that was not implemented at the time ultimately. New Kervoskia contacted many outside friends in other regions to try and generate various forms of public drama to encourage a rise of responsiveness. While none of these could quite defeat Moo Cows with Guns' damage to the region, they set the groundwork for the next delegate to fix the problems.<br />
<br />
===Longevity and Ambition===<br />
<br />
Early in the Krulltopia era, Gaspoinia pushed for the creation of the position of Senator of Administration. This granted him an administrator position on the New Pacific Order forums. With his work combined with that of several other Senators, activity began to pick up again to an extent. Krulltopia ran into his first problem two years into his term: he could not find a successor willing to take the seat to replace him. A lack of a suitable successor would keep him in office for another four years. Francoism, temporarily discontinued under Moo Cows With Guns, was brought back in full force by Krulltopia's administration. Under the claim of eliminating treaties with "userite" regions, all UCR treaties save those with Gatesville were cancelled immediately. Gaspoinia, now inundated with significant power in the region and holding a monopoly on The Pacific's foreign affairs direction, continued to establish his control.<br />
<br />
The initial burst of activity had begun to taper off slightly again when it came to pass that A Mean Old Man and Feux ascended to the Senate. Shortly after this, Milograd followed after his coup of The South Pacific which had been themed on a socialist republic[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=14052934#p14052934]. Milograd was not removed from the region despite claims of intent to punish him, but instead made the head of Foreign Affairs. Not long after this, he, too, joined Krulltopia's Senate. This became most relevant because, combined with Senator Karpathos, the four of them began to wage war against Gaspoinia from within. After a massive internal struggle, Gaspoinia, whose ambitions to draw The Pacific into Gatesville's aegis yet further were in the process of expanding, lost the battle for power against the four. He attempted to coup the region before his exit, but was stopped before any lasting damage could be done.<br />
<br />
This left Feux, A Mean Old Man, Milograd, and Karpathos with a large amount of control of the Pacific Senate. None of them were considered for the position of Regent, however, that instead falling to Elegarth and Rothinzil. Both continued the trend of refusing to take the seat from Krulltopia, and his other options for succession were deemed unwelcome. The New Pacific Order by 2014 had become characterized by contributions from long-term members such as Aleisyr, Foreign Affairs moves by Elegarth, and ambitious seeking of the Delegacy by Feux. However, activity had begun to siphon away from The Pacific after Feux couped Lazarus and took control of the region from the Imperialists. He, along with some Lazarene natives who supported his operation, contributed to the creation of the People's Republic of Lazarus only months after Milograd's initial coup of The South Pacific. Defenders and the New Pacific Order allied to create the new regime in Lazarus, resulting in a new bloc quite different from that which Gaspoinia had attempted to build. Milograd came to serve as Delegate and Chairman of the People's Republic of Lazarus, marking the region with a new time of great activity and energy. The toll taken on The Pacific by the migration of activity to Lazarus was marked.<br />
<br />
Krulltopia continued to rule The Pacific, but trouble was on the horizon, as the People's Republic of Lazarus would be overthrown to create a name that would live on in infamy.<br />
<br />
Feux, by now the Regent of the New Pacific Order, and Stujenske, the Chairman of Lazarus, decided to coup the region in early 2015. This decision was driven by backlash from banjecting the problematic player Funkadelia, who was raising a fuss over his banjection. Between trouble in the region and their other choice, they overthrew the People's Republic of Lazarus and created the New Lazarene Order. The New Pacific Order decided to back the New Lazarene Order despite better judgment and called in reinforcements from the CyberNations branch. Over 150 pilers were brought to play on the side of the New Lazarene Order, stopping the full impact of the loss of native Lazarene endorsements on Stujenske. Most of the Game Created Regions and many others cut ties with The Pacific and joined a coalition to fight against the mechanical holding of Lazarus. The liberation attempts continuously failed. The Pacific was Condemned[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=177/council=2] by the rest of NationStates using the World Assembly, while Krulltopia[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=175/council=2] and A Mean Old Man[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=176/council=2] were stripped of their Commendations.<br />
<br />
The failures by the liberation force changed when Kazmr, a friend of Milograd's from the South Pacific Socialist Republic coup, betrayed the New Lazarene Order and his friend. Kazmr removed the leaders of the New Lazarene Order and gave the Delegacy back to the other Lazarenes and their allies. Krulltopia was soon given logs by Kazmr, and then Pergamon, of Feux and his allies planning to overthrow him. He banned all of them and chose the only remaining successor option with whom he felt comfortable and who did not reject the seat.<br />
<br />
===Restoration of Order===<br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi proceeded to succeed Krulltopia and undertook the task of stabilizing public relations and foreign affairs. He abolished Francoism almost immediately and banned hero-worship of Francos Spain, announcing both in public for the rest of NationStates to see. This did not change their problems in terms of difficulties with the other communities. The first step to change came in spring 2016 when Cormactopia couped the Osiris Fraternal Order in the face of a rogue individual. An agreement was struck wherein Cormactopia would support a repeal of the Condemnation of The Pacific and cease hostilities in exchange for the New Pacific Order recognizing his coup. The Osiris Fraternal Order was thus recognized as legitimate by the New Pacific Order and The Pacific lost its Condemnation[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=202/council=2].<br />
<br />
Once the Condemnation was gone, Ivan Moldavi proceeded to establish a new alliance with The West Pacific, Balder, and Osiris known as the GCR Sovereignty Accords[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=29261134#p29261134]. This was intended to form a powerful new bloc, though it ran into difficulties fairly quickly. The bloc's alliance with the raider region known as The Black Hawks and the new Regent, Pergamon, became a straining point that led to Osiris' eventual defection and the souring of relations between the remainders of the GCR Sovereignty Accords. The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order existed in a state of hostility due to this rivalry. This continued to cause difficulties with The West Pacific and Balder. Things intensified when a member of the Council of Hawks insulted The Pacific and the liberation of a roleplay region Ankh Mauta, which was at the time occupied by The Black Hawks, was ordered as retaliation. Pergamon publicly took the blame and the backlash and was removed voluntarily from the Regent position to prevent further difficulties. After an explosive fallout with New Kervoskia and Osiris, Ivan stepped down and granted the seat to Aleisyr.<br />
<br />
===The Return of Francoism===<br />
<br />
Aleisyr almost immediately reinstated Francoism after taking the seat per Pergamon's suggestion. Pergamon proceeded to establish the Legio Pacificus (later renamed the Legio Pacifica) with Karenus and the two of them built up a new military to replace the Pacific Expeditionary Force. Aleisyr's reign was marked with further tensions with The Black Hawks, whose influence in the Game Created Regions continued to cause a great deal of trouble. Pergamon and Ever-Wandering Souls, the effective leader of The Black Hawks, held a deep dislike for each other and many problems between The Pacific and The Black Hawks were rooted in this intense dislike. They reached a state of uneasy truce where they agreed to leave each other alone, precipitated by Pergamon's departure from the Consul position.<br />
<br />
Trouble began again when a prominent member of the Rahl family, another political rival of the New Pacific Order, and raiders Funkadelia, Lamb Stone, and Evil Wolf, began to import voters into Lazarus while Funkadelia was Delegate. Spotting the unusual influx, the defender Roavin caused a controversy by posting data exposing this under the name Curious Observations[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=490188]. Defenders began to import their own voters. As there was no evidence of the organization of the raider side other than public movements but ample evidence of defender importation via leaks, the defender side was portrayed as the villains. This was relevant to the New Pacific Order because the defender side had convinced Pergamon, and thus the New Pacific Order, that raiders were taking over Lazarus. The reaction was to create Task Force Lazarus, an intensely secret group intended to fight the raiders, as they saw them, and help reclaim the region. This would, they predicted, come with the additional bonus of a Lazarus more friendly to the New Pacific Order. They successfully helped incite a civil war within the region in the effort to stop the raiders. When the level of incompetence by The Resistance and the leaks of their chats were revealed, the New Pacific Order withdrew and left them to continue their failures alone.<br />
<br />
This did not become relevant again until Imkiville, formerly allied to Evil Wolf and Lamb Stone, seized Lazarus from them. The New Pacific Order sent in people to help stack against the attempts of others to take advantage of the situation, including Empire members and the former occupants of the region who had lost the seat. In order to ensure that the region never fell into their hands, Aleisyr reached out to Adytus, who revealed himself to be none other than Feux, who had only recently been permitted to return to The Pacific after Krulltopia's ban. Feux proceeded to serve as backup in the instance that Imki lost to the deposed party and their allies, as he was trusted to an extent by them under the name Adytus. When Imkiville's victory was assured, the New Pacific Order took a position to help rebuild the region. Tensions were fraught and interests were tested in these groups. The Constitutional Convention failed and Imkiville couped one last time, establishing the region through a less democratic method, much to the outrage of prominent members of The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms.<br />
<br />
With Lazarus successfully liberated, the New Pacific Order looked away from the region for what they thought was a last time and back to their own interests. They established an alliance with The East Pacific, something that had been severed for a time after the New Lazarene Order. The GCR Sovereignty Accords was eliminated due to irreconcilable differences largely centered in an inability to compromise and unwillingness to pursue the relationship. Tensions between The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order reignited when Aleisyr reappointed Pergamon as Consul in the latter half of 2018. This culminated, not in a public outcry, but in an attempt by The Black Hawks to raid St Abbaddon, a region which had been invaded and then made a protectorate by The Pacific after its most prominent member, Topid, offered offense in the form of anti-New Pacific Order propaganda displayed on the region. Topid served as an ally to The Black Hawks, who sought to use rhetoric alien to raiders to turn public opinion in favor of Topid. The Black Hawks missed the target and the resulting pile-off ended in over 300 nations combined piling for control of the region. The fate of St Abbaddon in this time was ultimately decided by the return of the friendly Delegate Kitsco, who banned many of the invaders. The remainders were kicked by members of the Legio Pacificus who were granted Regional Officer status temporarily.<br />
<br />
War was declared on The Black Hawks, a struggle both the New Pacific Order and The Black Hawks had sought, and it looked as if a new battle was about to be openly fought across the game. However, only days later, an unnamed individual seeking to be restored to community membership betrayed Feux and A Mean Old Man and leaked details of Adytus' activities as well as exposing that Feux's allies had been involved. The individual also revealed that Pergamon and Aleisyr had known of his presence. Yet more leaks by another unnamed individual to Cormactopia further in regards to Task Force Lazarus and other details damaged Pergamon and Aleisyr, while a separate grievance afflicted another Senator, Svezjacael. One of the biggest public relations disasters in New Pacific Order history had begun. <br />
<br />
Faced with little choice over the nature of the threats against them, which transcended in-game hostility, Aleisyr transferred the title of Emperor to Lord of Darkness when his potential NationStates New Pacific Order candidates refused the seat. Pergamon and Aleisyr brought new members onto the Senate in hopes that they could replace and repair the damage. Feux, A Mean Old Man, and Stujenske were permanently banned. Jar Wattinree and Xoriet were appointed to Senate as emergency additions. Soon after, Ivan Moldavi would return and also be reappointed. Lord of Darkness additionally reinstated Elegarth, who returned to the region at his request. Pergamon volunteered for a ban to save the region, while Svezjacael was given an exile with conditions. Almost all treaties save that with The East Pacific were cancelled or talks to cancel said treaties were initiated. The Pacific was Condemned a second time.<br />
<br />
===A New Era===<br />
<br />
The Anti-Pacific Coalition formed despite the demands of all regions being almost perfectly met. Ivan Moldavi handled most of the public fallout, with some assistance from Milograd. Members of the Anti-Pacific Coalition attempted to get the new Senate members blacklisted on an OOC level in an attempt to stop them from exerting positive influence over the foreign affairs of The Pacific. These attempts failed ultimately. Elegarth and Xoriet continued to work mostly behind the scenes on that front. Meanwhile, the internal organization of the New Pacific Order was under constant discussion, namely what had gone wrong to cause such a disaster in the first place. All forms of espionage against other regions, as well as coups, were declared illegal and banned under Imperial decree. Francoism was once again abolished, this time with plans to ensure that it never return as an ideology. A new addition in the form of the elected Senate position of Vox Populi was enacted, though the first election would not occur until March.<br />
<br />
The twin mechanical defenses of St Abbaddon and The Pacific continued on, with support from all branches having been summoned. St Abbaddon's treaty was ultimately cancelled when they failed to uphold their end of the bargain and did not recruit, instead relying on the New Pacific Order for support. The Anti-Pacific Coalition promptly piled the region and called it a victory. The Pacific ignored their propaganda and continued to work on internal reforms and external mitigation of the damage. In the meantime, the Anti-Pacific Coalition began to experience troubles of their own. Ever-Wandering Souls was exposed through leaks of a raider commander chat known as The Red Phone as having planned to coup The South Pacific. The Black Hawks avoided much of the fallout by pinning the blame solely on Ever-Wandering Souls and allowing the heat to be redirected to another raider organization whose leadership had been present in the chat. The Anti-Pacific Coalition not long after lost Europeia, a major member, and other members slowly began to break off. They fell into inactivity, only perpetuating the unendorsement campaign against Lord of Darkness' NationStates nation, East Durthang.<br />
<br />
The Legio Pacifica was renamed and Xoriet took command, ceding full control of Foreign Affairs to Elegarth. Early struggles emerged between Lazarus, the New Pacific Order, and the Augustin Alliance in the Warzones, fighting over the New Pacific Order's Warzone Airspace embassy. This kept all parties occupied for a time, though eventually the New Pacific Order ceded the fight for the Warzone embassy in exchange for working with Antifa to capture the Teutonic League from fascists trying to defend the region. The Legio Pacifica was rebuilt with large help from Marina, who, as Praefectus (second-in-command), contributed massively to the activity and training of the military. <br />
<br />
Relations with The East Pacific became uneasy as Fedele, the elected Delegate, began to take a series of unorthodox actions in the region. This culminated in a coup attempt, and it was revealed that they had been planning the coup for months. The New Pacific Order and several other treaty allies of The East Pacific began to plan countermoves before the coup itself occurred, and were the first to issue statements against Fedele and his allies when the coup was executed. Fedele's coup ultimately failed, and relations with The East Pacific continued apace. <br />
<br />
Less than half a year later, Elegarth's work produced a Non-Aggression Pact with The South Pacific and The West Pacific, while Xoriet contributed to establishing a new treaty with Balder. Public relations continued to improve to some extent, especially when it was revealed the same year that some leaders of the Anti-Pacific Coalition had been involved in the votestacking effort in Lazarus that the Resistance had sought to halt. Relations eventually reached a point after several years of hard work that multiple strong treaties were signed, and foreign affairs was at an all-time high in modern NPO. After a time the architects of the Anti-Pacific Coalition ceased to be relevant or powerful and were no longer a threat. In 2022, the last vestiges of that entity vanished when Lazarus and the New Pacific Order reached a state of peace.<br />
<br />
2022 was also the rise of high conflict as raiders with a long history of anti-NPO sentiment began to rise to power. While the New Pacific Order maintained good relations with Lone Wolves United and neutral relations with The Black Hawks, the other forces in raiderdom would have done it harm if they could. Through careful alliance-building, the New Pacific Order achieved an historic peace and alliance with The North Pacific and The West Pacific called Pax Polaris Occidens, intended to protect the territories of the North and the West. The hostile forces were for a time forced to back down through the wishes of their own allies who maintained at least decent relations with The Pacific and The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
Xoriet, Marina, and Elegarth all stepped down after years of service and Syberis took the helm of Foreign Affairs. The time of conflict returned shortly after his ascendance to the position, and continues to this day. Regardless, the New Pacific Order maintains its belief in neutrality and staying out of the messes of other entities who would seek to exploit their forces. Syberis continued the work on Foreign Affairs, while Ender and Dimitri carried on the military legacy. Some conflicts arose during this time, wherein a raider organization declared hostilities against the allies of the New Pacific Order, and difficulties with former partners appeared. By the end of Lord of Darkness' term, this was resolved, and he concluded his delegacy with the longest period of no scandals in modern Pacifican history. Dimitri and Jar Wattinree were retired by Lord of Darkness.<br />
===The Changes Continue=== <br />
<br />
On August 1, 2024, Lord of Darkness appointed the first Empress of the New Pacific Order (NationStates), Xoriet. Syberis became Regent, and a time of revitalizing internal affairs began. Marina had also returned with Xoriet, and was appointed to Senator of Internal Affairs, where she began the process of setting up the Internal Affairs department, aided by Greyghost and Honourbound. NPO's activity spiked almost immediately and continued to rise. Newcomer to NS NPO Callisto was appointed as Senator of Diplomatic Affairs, where she immediately began to build even stronger relations with allies and friends. Under Xoriet, foreign affairs received a major boost once more. Her reign lasted six months as had been planned previously, ending on February 1, 2025. The delegacy transferred to Marina, the second Empress of the New Pacific Order in NationStates.<br />

<div>==History of the New Pacific Order==<br />
<br />
===The August Revolution===<br />
Francos Spain took the Delegacy of The Pacific from inactive Delegate Thedoc on August 28, 2003 after accumulating sufficient endorsements through both internal operation and external forces to seize the region from the democratic defender regime. The New Pacific Order under its historical and present name was founded on August 31, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Francos Spain proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while allies InfernoIce, Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly alongside him. 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 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]]. Poskrebyshev was the first Senator, and InfernoIce the second. Francos Spain maintained control of The Pacific despite many efforts, both poorly formed and organized by some of the largest alliances and regions in the game, to mechanically take the delegacy from him. Over the course of his months, he also at one point dropped UN status on his nation, stating that he had done so to prove that the region loved him and he was not just a dictator[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4559&pid=28844#pid28844].<br />
<br />
===The Opposition===<br />
<br />
One opposing side and host to the deposed former delegate of The Pacific was [[The Pacific Army]]. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support while using the frequently inactive forrmer delegate Thedoc to claim legitimacy, although other groups tried individually as well. The Pacific Army as a rallying point served as a propaganda machine rather than a militarily threatening force. They resorted to various tactics such as sneaking in spies, generating propaganda, spamming the region, and rallying further outside support against the figure they saw as an unrelenting dictator. Their efforts were not as notable as those by other individuals. Major figures supporting The Pacific Army were the Alliance Defense Network and a coalition of other allies including the Rejected Realms Army, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The East Pacific, and several other regions. Most of the game was arrayed against the New Pacific Order and attacks continued for months. During this time, a Senate comprised of various loyal individuals was established[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/145/announcing-formation-pacific-senate?page=1], with the main figures being Poskrebyshev, InfernoIce, Bertram Stantrous, and Mammothistan. Many of them worked tirelessly in a capacity for Intelligence work as a counter to the numerous enemies scattered across the game.<br />
<br />
An introductory meeting to seize The Pacific from Francos Spain was led by the New Meritocracy and backed by the powerful Alliance Defense Network. It was referred to as the "Summit"[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/259/meritocratic-times-article-npo?page=1&scrollTo=7501]. Initial efforts involved planting nations and slipping UN nations into the region to endorse point nations. There were tensions between the allies when a member of the Alliance Defense Network attempted to take the Delegacy for himself. Requests that he desist were met with compliance. Francos Spain and his Senators proved adept at identifying these points, however, and they banjected the liberation forces from the region before they could accumulate enough endorsements to replace him in the delegacy. <br />
<br />
One particularly notable attempt by an antagonistic individual occurred when a game glitch (referred to as the Battle of the Glitch) removed Francos Spain from the Delegacy[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/184/franco-risen] in late October of 2003. Corinthe, a defender initially from the Alliance Defense Network and later The Youngworld, piled with well over a hundred nations after his removal to attempt to take the delegacy through glitch exploit. The Moderators initially ruled that all nations had to depart because exploiting a glitch was against the rules[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65214#pid65214]. Their departure made it easier for Francos Spain to reclaim the seat with all of his endorsements, though he still had to oppose a large pile that returned when [violet] permitted it[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65233#pid65233]. Like all other attempts, this one failed on October 28, 2003 by a margin of two endorsements, and Corinthe and all endorsers were banjected from the region. Francos Spain posted the following World Factbook Entry[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65229#pid65229] after regaining control of the region:<br />
<br />
''"Yesterday, we expelled the filthy hordes of opportunists; the flocks of vultures who tried to swoop in and pick us apart, and LO! We live on, stronger than ever! My thanks to the many steadfast nations who supported me against those foreign devils. Also, today, Tuesday, October 28th is the Day of Pacific Revolution. This marks the two month anniversary of my initial rise to the Delegacy. The New Pacific Order is now the most stable and longest lasting administration in the history of the Pacific."''<br />
<br />
===The New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
After the failure of the Battle of the Glitch, regions returned to the same enthusiastic but disorganized propaganda efforts that achieved very little of mechanical value. Over the course of the next half-year, several former avowed enemies such as [[LadyRebels]] and [[1 Infinite Loop]] joined the forums of the New Pacific Order and became more acquainted with the community. Eventually peace was made with The South Pacific[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/237/delegate-south-pacific?page=1]. The East Pacific and the New Pacific Order signed a treaty and lasting friendships were established. The Alliance Defense Network continued on as an enemy, but the New Pacific Order made alliances with regions such as the USSR and New Sparrow over a period of months. As time passed, more and more regions began to recognize the New Pacific Order as legitimate. There were many holdouts, such as The North Pacific, especially under the intensely hostile Twoslit Experiment, and the Rejected Realms Army, especially related to [[CrazyGirl]], who was also a member of The Pacific Army. Francos Spain wished to establish a Roman Republic theme initially but in the face of accusations of being a dictator, wound up making it as much of a Russian/Soviet theme as a Roman Republic one.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network remained a powerful enemy and many efforts to combat them were undertaken, such as an attempt to support a coup initiated by Great Bight, in which moderators permitted a cheat tactic known as Puppetmaster to take the delegacy back for the Alliance Defense Network and their allies. The cheat exploit had initially been planned to use against the New Pacific Order but was used instead to reclaim the delegacy of The North Pacific. Francos was involved in this but only to a peripheral degree, as his nation after initially endotarting went inactive and the claim that he had gone on vacation was utilized. The New Pacific Order claimed that the effort was due to not wanting to see instability in The North Pacific and maintained this story.<br />
<br />
With alliances formed, some lasting, some not, the New Pacific Order continued on with Francos Spain at the helm. New members continued to file in as former enemies began to slowly realize that the New Pacific Order was not as loathsome as their allies would have them believe. Some of these former enemies later became Senators or Governors. With new members and activity surging, the New Pacific Order despite setbacks in The North Pacific was doing well for itself. They aimed to win the culture war and defeat the propaganda of the opposition. The forums of The Pacific became a favored place to cultivate time in good company despite their demonized reputation.<br />
<br />
===The People's Republic of The Pacific===<br />
<br />
The time of Francos Spain came to a close when he and Poskrebyshev chose to depart NationStates. With the inspiration for the Revolution departed and a foreign affairs image to ameliorate, the response by new Emperor Unlimited and the remaining Senate was to found the People's Republic of the Pacific (PRP) as a slightly different but still effective operational clone of the New Pacific Order. This took place on September 1, 2004. They operated almost exactly the same and were a continuation of the New Pacific Order, but operated under another name. They used this rebrand to improve the image of The Pacific and ultimately secure recognition of their legitimacy among others, including numerous holdouts who had stubbornly clung to the rhetoric of the deposed natives and the defenders. The Senate comprised of Mammothistan and BlackAdder remained similar to what it had been, with some new additions such as Mussolandia, Doppelganger, Chosen Men, and Warrior Thorin. Sir Paul and and Warrior Thorin retired not long after Francos Spain ceased to exist and after the events in The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic of The Pacific served as a public relations tool to soften the hard image of the New Pacific Order that had earned them so many enemies early on. To some people who believed this wholly, they refer to the People's Republic of The Pacific as the golden age of The Pacific to this day. While the time of the People's Republic of The Pacific was excellent for foreign affairs relations and further solidifying the decision to recognize the regime established by Francos Spain as legitimate, it maintained the core principles upon which the New Pacific Order was initially founded. During its existence there were several more coup attempts on The North Pacific, some of which were attributed to members of the People's Republic of The Pacific and an alliance with ambitious anti-United Nations organization Gatesville was concluded. Strong alliances with The East Pacific, USSR, New Sparrow, and Gatesville allowed for a much more influential stance on the world stage. <br />
<br />
On April 16, 2005, Pope Hope sent Alliance Defense Network operatives to invade The Pacific. When it was proven that this was the case, the Alliance Defense Network backed down.[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/101639-the-pacific-chronicle/] They had been planning to use tactics similar to those of the Puppetmaster siege on The North Pacific.<br />
Mammothistan applied to have the New Pacific Order join the Alliance Defense Network as a joke, which did not sit well with the Alliance Defense Network. Intense disagreements arose over the issue and it ultimately culminated in refusing the application, as most players had expected. The People's Republic of The Pacific was known for several of these joking maneuvers. To some it is remembered as the golden age of The Pacific despite the fact that it was largely the same New Pacific Order under a new branding. Many of the same members remained in leadership roles throughout the existence of this iteration of the New Pacific Order. This was interrupted by the introduction of a new game into the playing field: CyberNations.<br />
<br />
===The Advent and Effect of CyberNations===<br />
<br />
The discovery of CyberNations was a titanic event that led to the loss of a generation of talent from NationStates. Older, established members and mid-level staff migrated to the new game and essentially abandoned NationStates. Hardest hit by this advent were the activity of The Pacific and the leadership of the Alliance Defense Network. Many former enemies even flocked to join the New Pacific Order in CyberNations, such as Unistrut and Dilber of the Alliance Defense Network and Blackbird of the Red Liberty Alliance. The losses incurred by the migration took almost a decade to mitigate. While it was not the death of the New Pacific Order, it was one of the death blows to the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
===The Return of the New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
BlackAdder, seeing the devastating effects of CyberNations on NationStates activity, took a drastic step to try to reignite that lacking activity. As Emperor, he reestablished the New Pacific Order out of both nostalgia and necessity. Mammothistan opposed this effort and was exiled as a traitor to the Order. BlackAdder ended up exiling most of the Senators from the People's Republic of The Pacific era of The Pacific. BlackAdder's new Senate added former The South Pacific Delegate, Goddessness, Sixguns, and Moo Cows with Guns. The bid for igniting new activity was largely unsuccessful in the long term but in the short term successfully brought a measure of life back into an organization hit particularly hard by the new game. The New Pacific Order under BlackAdder formed the Later Alliance with Gatesville, USSR, and New Sparrow to oppose what remained of the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network ultimately collapsed when regions began to realize that they didn't need it as much as it needed them. One by one, the major regions split off and it dwindled away until it no longer existed. The Alliance Defense Network was dead by the end of 2007 and the greatest threat to the New Pacific Order had died. <br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi succeeded BlackAdder and during his term, he purged The Pacific to a point that site administration ultimately implemented Influence, a mechanic designed to disable the ability of delegates to raze a region to the ground without problems. Influence was widely considered a devastating mechanic, but it prevented further such purges of Feeder regions. After one such purge, Ivan Moldavi chose to appoint Moo Cows With Guns to the seat. Moo Cows With Guns was active and interested and connected in CyberNations. Ivan Moldavi had worked to make the two games work in harmony and Moo Cows With Guns was thus a logical successor in his estimation.<br />
<br />
===Turmoil and Treason===<br />
<br />
Moo Cows with Guns became the Delegate of The Pacific when Ivan stepped down. His term was full of turmoil and inactivity in varying patterns. The most prominent happenstance during his term was the sheer volume of attempted coups by many in the game, including some of his own Senators, to try and save The Pacific from the inactivity Moo Cows with Guns allowed. His Senate projected an external view of activity by Moo Cows with Guns himself. Internally, they were the ones endotarting for Moo Cows with Guns, as he could not be bothered to log in on a regular basis. One of the most prolific series of attempts to coup Moo Cows with Guns internally were committed by Senator of Intelligence Darkesia, who disliked Moo Cows with Guns' inactivity and wished to restore the New Pacific Order to its former glory. Moo Cows with Guns managed to find out about one of these coups and exiled her for treason.<br />
<br />
Externally, there were also several events that occurred. The North Pacific temporarily declared war for reasons generally unknown. A group called The Pacific Revolutionary Front attempted to coup Moo Cows with Guns. A defense pact known as the Azure Alliance comprised of signatories The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Taijitu and The Pacific was formed. Gatesville planned with a region called Dhaka to coup Moo Cows with Guns. At one point Moo Cows with Guns conducted a discussion with Empire about Gaspoinia's interest in The Pacific becoming a part of Empire and was told by Empress Lady Phedre (Minineenee) that they had no desire to ally with Moo Cows with Guns as Delegate. Foreign affairs was marred by a general contempt for how far the CyberNations-focused Moo Cows with Guns had run The Pacific's activity into the ground.<br />
<br />
Internally, the Senators made many attempts to restore activity despite Moo Cows with Guns' lack of activity and responsiveness. Ivan Moldavi initiated an effort to rebrand to stir up activity again, proposing several names but eventually settling on the Union Sovereign States of The Pacific. He also proposed an elected Senator to represent the member base to the Senate, though that was not implemented at the time ultimately. New Kervoskia contacted many outside friends in other regions to try and generate various forms of public drama to encourage a rise of responsiveness. While none of these could quite defeat Moo Cows with Guns' damage to the region, they set the groundwork for the next delegate to fix the problems.<br />
<br />
===Longevity and Ambition===<br />
<br />
Early in the Krulltopia era, Gaspoinia pushed for the creation of the position of Senator of Administration. This granted him an administrator position on the New Pacific Order forums. With his work combined with that of several other Senators, activity began to pick up again to an extent. Krulltopia ran into his first problem two years into his term: he could not find a successor willing to take the seat to replace him. A lack of a suitable successor would keep him in office for another four years. Francoism, temporarily discontinued under Moo Cows With Guns, was brought back in full force by Krulltopia's administration. Under the claim of eliminating treaties with "userite" regions, all UCR treaties save those with Gatesville were cancelled immediately. Gaspoinia, now inundated with significant power in the region and holding a monopoly on The Pacific's foreign affairs direction, continued to establish his control.<br />
<br />
The initial burst of activity had begun to taper off slightly again when it came to pass that A Mean Old Man and Feux ascended to the Senate. Shortly after this, Milograd followed after his coup of The South Pacific which had been themed on a socialist republic[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=14052934#p14052934]. Milograd was not removed from the region despite claims of intent to punish him, but instead made the head of Foreign Affairs. Not long after this, he, too, joined Krulltopia's Senate. This became most relevant because, combined with Senator Karpathos, the four of them began to wage war against Gaspoinia from within. After a massive internal struggle, Gaspoinia, whose ambitions to draw The Pacific into Gatesville's aegis yet further were in the process of expanding, lost the battle for power against the four. He attempted to coup the region before his exit, but was stopped before any lasting damage could be done.<br />
<br />
This left Feux, A Mean Old Man, Milograd, and Karpathos with a large amount of control of the Pacific Senate. None of them were considered for the position of Regent, however, that instead falling to Elegarth and Rothinzil. Both continued the trend of refusing to take the seat from Krulltopia, and his other options for succession were deemed unwelcome. The New Pacific Order by 2014 had become characterized by contributions from long-term members such as Aleisyr, Foreign Affairs moves by Elegarth, and ambitious seeking of the Delegacy by Feux. However, activity had begun to siphon away from The Pacific after Feux couped Lazarus and took control of the region from the Imperialists. He, along with some Lazarene natives who supported his operation, contributed to the creation of the People's Republic of Lazarus only months after Milograd's initial coup of The South Pacific. Defenders and the New Pacific Order allied to create the new regime in Lazarus, resulting in a new bloc quite different from that which Gaspoinia had attempted to build. Milograd came to serve as Delegate and Chairman of the People's Republic of Lazarus, marking the region with a new time of great activity and energy. The toll taken on The Pacific by the migration of activity to Lazarus was marked.<br />
<br />
Krulltopia continued to rule The Pacific, but trouble was on the horizon, as the People's Republic of Lazarus would be overthrown to create a name that would live on in infamy.<br />
<br />
Feux, by now the Regent of the New Pacific Order, and Stujenske, the Chairman of Lazarus, decided to coup the region in early 2015. This decision was driven by backlash from banjecting the problematic player Funkadelia, who was raising a fuss over his banjection. Between trouble in the region and their other choice, they overthrew the People's Republic of Lazarus and created the New Lazarene Order. The New Pacific Order decided to back the New Lazarene Order despite better judgment and called in reinforcements from the CyberNations branch. Over 150 pilers were brought to play on the side of the New Lazarene Order, stopping the full impact of the loss of native Lazarene endorsements on Stujenske. Most of the Game Created Regions and many others cut ties with The Pacific and joined a coalition to fight against the mechanical holding of Lazarus. The liberation attempts continuously failed. The Pacific was Condemned[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=177/council=2] by the rest of NationStates using the World Assembly, while Krulltopia[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=175/council=2] and A Mean Old Man[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=176/council=2] were stripped of their Commendations.<br />
<br />
The failures by the liberation force changed when Kazmr, a friend of Milograd's from the South Pacific Socialist Republic coup, betrayed the New Lazarene Order and his friend. Kazmr removed the leaders of the New Lazarene Order and gave the Delegacy back to the other Lazarenes and their allies. Krulltopia was soon given logs by Kazmr, and then Pergamon, of Feux and his allies planning to overthrow him. He banned all of them and chose the only remaining successor option with whom he felt comfortable and who did not reject the seat.<br />
<br />
===Restoration of Order===<br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi proceeded to succeed Krulltopia and undertook the task of stabilizing public relations and foreign affairs. He abolished Francoism almost immediately and banned hero-worship of Francos Spain, announcing both in public for the rest of NationStates to see. This did not change their problems in terms of difficulties with the other communities. The first step to change came in spring 2016 when Cormactopia couped the Osiris Fraternal Order in the face of a rogue individual. An agreement was struck wherein Cormactopia would support a repeal of the Condemnation of The Pacific and cease hostilities in exchange for the New Pacific Order recognizing his coup. The Osiris Fraternal Order was thus recognized as legitimate by the New Pacific Order and The Pacific lost its Condemnation[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=202/council=2].<br />
<br />
Once the Condemnation was gone, Ivan Moldavi proceeded to establish a new alliance with The West Pacific, Balder, and Osiris known as the GCR Sovereignty Accords[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=29261134#p29261134]. This was intended to form a powerful new bloc, though it ran into difficulties fairly quickly. The bloc's alliance with the raider region known as The Black Hawks and the new Regent, Pergamon, became a straining point that led to Osiris' eventual defection and the souring of relations between the remainders of the GCR Sovereignty Accords. The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order existed in a state of hostility due to this rivalry. This continued to cause difficulties with The West Pacific and Balder. Things intensified when a member of the Council of Hawks insulted The Pacific and the liberation of a roleplay region Ankh Mauta, which was at the time occupied by The Black Hawks, was ordered as retaliation. Pergamon publicly took the blame and the backlash and was removed voluntarily from the Regent position to prevent further difficulties. After an explosive fallout with New Kervoskia and Osiris, Ivan stepped down and granted the seat to Aleisyr.<br />
<br />
===The Return of Francoism===<br />
<br />
Aleisyr almost immediately reinstated Francoism after taking the seat per Pergamon's suggestion. Pergamon proceeded to establish the Legio Pacificus (later renamed the Legio Pacifica) with Karenus and the two of them built up a new military to replace the Pacific Expeditionary Force. Aleisyr's reign was marked with further tensions with The Black Hawks, whose influence in the Game Created Regions continued to cause a great deal of trouble. Pergamon and Ever-Wandering Souls, the effective leader of The Black Hawks, held a deep dislike for each other and many problems between The Pacific and The Black Hawks were rooted in this intense dislike. They reached a state of uneasy truce where they agreed to leave each other alone, precipitated by Pergamon's departure from the Consul position.<br />
<br />
Trouble began again when a prominent member of the Rahl family, another political rival of the New Pacific Order, and raiders Funkadelia, Lamb Stone, and Evil Wolf, began to import voters into Lazarus while Funkadelia was Delegate. Spotting the unusual influx, the defender Roavin caused a controversy by posting data exposing this under the name Curious Observations[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=490188]. Defenders began to import their own voters. As there was no evidence of the organization of the raider side other than public movements but ample evidence of defender importation via leaks, the defender side was portrayed as the villains. This was relevant to the New Pacific Order because the defender side had convinced Pergamon, and thus the New Pacific Order, that raiders were taking over Lazarus. The reaction was to create Task Force Lazarus, an intensely secret group intended to fight the raiders, as they saw them, and help reclaim the region. This would, they predicted, come with the additional bonus of a Lazarus more friendly to the New Pacific Order. They successfully helped incite a civil war within the region in the effort to stop the raiders. When the level of incompetence by The Resistance and the leaks of their chats were revealed, the New Pacific Order withdrew and left them to continue their failures alone.<br />
<br />
This did not become relevant again until Imkiville, formerly allied to Evil Wolf and Lamb Stone, seized Lazarus from them. The New Pacific Order sent in people to help stack against the attempts of others to take advantage of the situation, including Empire members and the former occupants of the region who had lost the seat. In order to ensure that the region never fell into their hands, Aleisyr reached out to Adytus, who revealed himself to be none other than Feux, who had only recently been permitted to return to The Pacific after Krulltopia's ban. Feux proceeded to serve as backup in the instance that Imki lost to the deposed party and their allies, as he was trusted to an extent by them under the name Adytus. When Imkiville's victory was assured, the New Pacific Order took a position to help rebuild the region. Tensions were fraught and interests were tested in these groups. The Constitutional Convention failed and Imkiville couped one last time, establishing the region through a less democratic method, much to the outrage of prominent members of The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms.<br />
<br />
With Lazarus successfully liberated, the New Pacific Order looked away from the region for what they thought was a last time and back to their own interests. They established an alliance with The East Pacific, something that had been severed for a time after the New Lazarene Order. The GCR Sovereignty Accords was eliminated due to irreconcilable differences largely centered in an inability to compromise and unwillingness to pursue the relationship. Tensions between The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order reignited when Aleisyr reappointed Pergamon as Consul in the latter half of 2018. This culminated, not in a public outcry, but in an attempt by The Black Hawks to raid St Abbaddon, a region which had been invaded and then made a protectorate by The Pacific after its most prominent member, Topid, offered offense in the form of anti-New Pacific Order propaganda displayed on the region. Topid served as an ally to The Black Hawks, who sought to use rhetoric alien to raiders to turn public opinion in favor of Topid. The Black Hawks missed the target and the resulting pile-off ended in over 300 nations combined piling for control of the region. The fate of St Abbaddon in this time was ultimately decided by the return of the friendly Delegate Kitsco, who banned many of the invaders. The remainders were kicked by members of the Legio Pacificus who were granted Regional Officer status temporarily.<br />
<br />
War was declared on The Black Hawks, a struggle both the New Pacific Order and The Black Hawks had sought, and it looked as if a new battle was about to be openly fought across the game. However, only days later, an unnamed individual seeking to be restored to community membership betrayed Feux and A Mean Old Man and leaked details of Adytus' activities as well as exposing that Feux's allies had been involved. The individual also revealed that Pergamon and Aleisyr had known of his presence. Yet more leaks by another unnamed individual to Cormactopia further in regards to Task Force Lazarus and other details damaged Pergamon and Aleisyr, while a separate grievance afflicted another Senator, Svezjacael. One of the biggest public relations disasters in New Pacific Order history had begun. <br />
<br />
Faced with little choice over the nature of the threats against them, which transcended in-game hostility, Aleisyr transferred the title of Emperor to Lord of Darkness when his potential NationStates New Pacific Order candidates refused the seat. Pergamon and Aleisyr brought new members onto the Senate in hopes that they could replace and repair the damage. Feux, A Mean Old Man, and Stujenske were permanently banned. Jar Wattinree and Xoriet were appointed to Senate as emergency additions. Soon after, Ivan Moldavi would return and also be reappointed. Lord of Darkness additionally reinstated Elegarth, who returned to the region at his request. Pergamon volunteered for a ban to save the region, while Svezjacael was given an exile with conditions. Almost all treaties save that with The East Pacific were cancelled or talks to cancel said treaties were initiated. The Pacific was Condemned a second time.<br />
<br />
===A New Era===<br />
<br />
The Anti-Pacific Coalition formed despite the demands of all regions being almost perfectly met. Ivan Moldavi handled most of the public fallout, with some assistance from Milograd. Members of the Anti-Pacific Coalition attempted to get the new Senate members blacklisted on an OOC level in an attempt to stop them from exerting positive influence over the foreign affairs of The Pacific. These attempts failed ultimately. Elegarth and Xoriet continued to work mostly behind the scenes on that front. Meanwhile, the internal organization of the New Pacific Order was under constant discussion, namely what had gone wrong to cause such a disaster in the first place. All forms of espionage against other regions, as well as coups, were declared illegal and banned under Imperial decree. Francoism was once again abolished, this time with plans to ensure that it never return as an ideology. A new addition in the form of the elected Senate position of Vox Populi was enacted, though the first election would not occur until March.<br />
<br />
The twin mechanical defenses of St Abbaddon and The Pacific continued on, with support from all branches having been summoned. St Abbaddon's treaty was ultimately cancelled when they failed to uphold their end of the bargain and did not recruit, instead relying on the New Pacific Order for support. The Anti-Pacific Coalition promptly piled the region and called it a victory. The Pacific ignored their propaganda and continued to work on internal reforms and external mitigation of the damage. In the meantime, the Anti-Pacific Coalition began to experience troubles of their own. Ever-Wandering Souls was exposed through leaks of a raider commander chat known as The Red Phone as having planned to coup The South Pacific. The Black Hawks avoided much of the fallout by pinning the blame solely on Ever-Wandering Souls and allowing the heat to be redirected to another raider organization whose leadership had been present in the chat. The Anti-Pacific Coalition not long after lost Europeia, a major member, and other members slowly began to break off. They fell into inactivity, only perpetuating the unendorsement campaign against Lord of Darkness' NationStates nation, East Durthang.<br />
<br />
The Legio Pacifica was renamed and Xoriet took command, ceding full control of Foreign Affairs to Elegarth. Early struggles emerged between Lazarus, the New Pacific Order, and the Augustin Alliance in the Warzones, fighting over the New Pacific Order's Warzone Airspace embassy. This kept all parties occupied for a time, though eventually the New Pacific Order ceded the fight for the Warzone embassy in exchange for working with Antifa to capture the Teutonic League from fascists trying to defend the region. The Legio Pacifica was rebuilt with large help from Marina, who, as Praefectus (second-in-command), contributed massively to the activity and training of the military. <br />
<br />
Relations with The East Pacific became uneasy as Fedele, the elected Delegate, began to take a series of unorthodox actions in the region. This culminated in a coup attempt, and it was revealed that they had been planning the coup for months. The New Pacific Order and several other treaty allies of The East Pacific began to plan countermoves before the coup itself occurred, and were the first to issue statements against Fedele and his allies when the coup was executed. Fedele's coup ultimately failed, and relations with The East Pacific continued apace. <br />
<br />
Less than half a year later, Elegarth's work produced a Non-Aggression Pact with The South Pacific and The West Pacific, while Xoriet contributed to establishing a new treaty with Balder. Public relations continued to improve to some extent, especially when it was revealed the same year that some leaders of the Anti-Pacific Coalition had been involved in the votestacking effort in Lazarus that the Resistance had sought to halt. Relations eventually reached a point after several years of hard work that multiple strong treaties were signed, and foreign affairs was at an all-time high in modern NPO. After a time the architects of the Anti-Pacific Coalition ceased to be relevant or powerful and were no longer a threat. In 2022, the last vestiges of that entity vanished when Lazarus and the New Pacific Order reached a state of peace.<br />
<br />
2022 was also the rise of high conflict as raiders with a long history of anti-NPO sentiment began to rise to power. While the New Pacific Order maintained good relations with Lone Wolves United and neutral relations with The Black Hawks, the other forces in raiderdom would have done it harm if they could. Through careful alliance-building, the New Pacific Order achieved an historic peace and alliance with The North Pacific and The West Pacific called Pax Polaris Occidens, intended to protect the territories of the North and the West. The hostile forces were for a time forced to back down through the wishes of their own allies who maintained at least decent relations with The Pacific and The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
Xoriet, Marina, and Elegarth all stepped down after years of service and Syberis took the helm of Foreign Affairs. The time of conflict returned shortly after his ascendance to the position, and continues to this day. Regardless, the New Pacific Order maintains its belief in neutrality and staying out of the messes of other entities who would seek to exploit their forces. Syberis continued the work on Foreign Affairs, while Ender and Dimitri carried on the military legacy. Some conflicts arose during this time, wherein a raider organization declared hostilities against the allies of the New Pacific Order, and difficulties with former partners appeared. By the end of Lord of Darkness' term, this was resolved, and he concluded his delegacy with the longest period of no scandals in modern Pacifican history. Dimitri and Jar Wattinree were retired by Lord of Darkness.<br />
===The Changes Continue=== <br />
<br />
On August 1, 2024, Lord of Darkness appointed the first Empress of the New Pacific Order (NationStates), Xoriet. Syberis became Regent, and a time of revitalizing internal affairs began. Marina had also returned with Xoriet, and was appointed to Senator of Internal Affairs, where she began the process of setting up the Internal Affairs department, aided by Greyghost and Honourbound. NPO's activity spiked almost immediately and continued to rise. Newcomer to NS NPO Callisto was appointed as Senator of Diplomatic Affairs, where she immediately began to build even stronger relations with allies and friends. Under Xoriet, foreign affairs received a major boost once more. Her reign lasted six months as had been planned previously, ending on February 1, 2025. The delegacy transferred to Marina, the second Empress of the New Pacific Order in NationStates.<br />

<div>==History of the New Pacific Order==<br />
<br />
===The August Revolution===<br />
Francos Spain took the Delegacy of The Pacific from inactive Delegate Thedoc on August 28, 2003 after accumulating sufficient endorsements through both internal operation and external forces to seize the region from the democratic defender regime. The New Pacific Order under its historical and present name was founded on August 31, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Francos Spain proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while allies InfernoIce, Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly alongside him. 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 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]]. Poskrebyshev was the first Senator, and InfernoIce the second. Francos Spain maintained control of The Pacific despite many efforts, both poorly formed and organized by some of the largest alliances and regions in the game, to mechanically take the delegacy from him. Over the course of his months, he also at one point dropped UN status on his nation, stating that he had done so to prove that the region loved him and he was not just a dictator[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4559&pid=28844#pid28844].<br />
<br />
===The Opposition===<br />
<br />
One opposing side and host to the deposed former delegate of The Pacific was [[The Pacific Army]]. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support while using the frequently inactive forrmer delegate Thedoc to claim legitimacy, although other groups tried individually as well. The Pacific Army as a rallying point served as a propaganda machine rather than a militarily threatening force. They resorted to various tactics such as sneaking in spies, generating propaganda, spamming the region, and rallying further outside support against the figure they saw as an unrelenting dictator. Their efforts were not as notable as those by other individuals. Major figures supporting The Pacific Army were the Alliance Defense Network and a coalition of other allies including the Rejected Realms Army, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The East Pacific, and several other regions. Most of the game was arrayed against the New Pacific Order and attacks continued for months. During this time, a Senate comprised of various loyal individuals was established[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/145/announcing-formation-pacific-senate?page=1], with the main figures being Poskrebyshev, InfernoIce, Bertram Stantrous, and Mammothistan. Many of them worked tirelessly in a capacity for Intelligence work as a counter to the numerous enemies scattered across the game.<br />
<br />
An introductory meeting to seize The Pacific from Francos Spain was led by the New Meritocracy and backed by the powerful Alliance Defense Network. It was referred to as the "Summit"[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/259/meritocratic-times-article-npo?page=1&scrollTo=7501]. Initial efforts involved planting nations and slipping UN nations into the region to endorse point nations. There were tensions between the allies when a member of the Alliance Defense Network attempted to take the Delegacy for himself. Requests that he desist were met with compliance. Francos Spain and his Senators proved adept at identifying these points, however, and they banjected the liberation forces from the region before they could accumulate enough endorsements to replace him in the delegacy. <br />
<br />
One particularly notable attempt by an antagonistic individual occurred when a game glitch (referred to as the Battle of the Glitch) removed Francos Spain from the Delegacy[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/184/franco-risen] in late October of 2003. Corinthe, a defender initially from the Alliance Defense Network and later The Youngworld, piled with well over a hundred nations after his removal to attempt to take the delegacy through glitch exploit. The Moderators initially ruled that all nations had to depart because exploiting a glitch was against the rules[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65214#pid65214]. Their departure made it easier for Francos Spain to reclaim the seat with all of his endorsements, though he still had to oppose a large pile that returned when [violet] permitted it[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65233#pid65233]. Like all other attempts, this one failed on October 28, 2003 by a margin of two endorsements, and Corinthe and all endorsers were banjected from the region. Francos Spain posted the following World Factbook Entry[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65229#pid65229] after regaining control of the region:<br />
<br />
''"Yesterday, we expelled the filthy hordes of opportunists; the flocks of vultures who tried to swoop in and pick us apart, and LO! We live on, stronger than ever! My thanks to the many steadfast nations who supported me against those foreign devils. Also, today, Tuesday, October 28th is the Day of Pacific Revolution. This marks the two month anniversary of my initial rise to the Delegacy. The New Pacific Order is now the most stable and longest lasting administration in the history of the Pacific."''<br />
<br />
===The New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
After the failure of the Battle of the Glitch, regions returned to the same enthusiastic but disorganized propaganda efforts that achieved very little of mechanical value. Over the course of the next half-year, several former avowed enemies such as [[LadyRebels]] and [[1 Infinite Loop]] joined the forums of the New Pacific Order and became more acquainted with the community. Eventually peace was made with The South Pacific[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/237/delegate-south-pacific?page=1]. The East Pacific and the New Pacific Order signed a treaty and lasting friendships were established. The Alliance Defense Network continued on as an enemy, but the New Pacific Order made alliances with regions such as the USSR and New Sparrow over a period of months. As time passed, more and more regions began to recognize the New Pacific Order as legitimate. There were many holdouts, such as The North Pacific, especially under the intensely hostile Twoslit Experiment, and the Rejected Realms Army, especially related to [[CrazyGirl]], who was also a member of The Pacific Army. Francos Spain wished to establish a Roman Republic theme initially but in the face of accusations of being a dictator, wound up making it as much of a Russian/Soviet theme as a Roman Republic one.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network remained a powerful enemy and many efforts to combat them were undertaken, such as an attempt to support a coup initiated by Great Bight, in which moderators permitted a cheat tactic known as Puppetmaster to take the delegacy back for the Alliance Defense Network and their allies. The cheat exploit had initially been planned to use against the New Pacific Order but was used instead to reclaim the delegacy of The North Pacific. Francos was involved in this but only to a peripheral degree, as his nation after initially endotarting went inactive and the claim that he had gone on vacation was utilized. The New Pacific Order claimed that the effort was due to not wanting to see instability in The North Pacific and maintained this story.<br />
<br />
With alliances formed, some lasting, some not, the New Pacific Order continued on with Francos Spain at the helm. New members continued to file in as former enemies began to slowly realize that the New Pacific Order was not as loathsome as their allies would have them believe. Some of these former enemies later became Senators or Governors. With new members and activity surging, the New Pacific Order despite setbacks in The North Pacific was doing well for itself. They aimed to win the culture war and defeat the propaganda of the opposition. The forums of The Pacific became a favored place to cultivate time in good company despite their demonized reputation.<br />
<br />
===The People's Republic of The Pacific===<br />
<br />
The time of Francos Spain came to a close when he and Poskrebyshev chose to depart NationStates. With the inspiration for the Revolution departed and a foreign affairs image to ameliorate, the response by new Emperor Unlimited and the remaining Senate was to found the People's Republic of the Pacific (PRP) as a slightly different but still effective operational clone of the New Pacific Order. This took place on September 1, 2004. They operated almost exactly the same and were a continuation of the New Pacific Order, but operated under another name. They used this rebrand to improve the image of The Pacific and ultimately secure recognition of their legitimacy among others, including numerous holdouts who had stubbornly clung to the rhetoric of the deposed natives and the defenders. The Senate comprised of Mammothistan and BlackAdder remained similar to what it had been, with some new additions such as Mussolandia, Doppelganger, Chosen Men, and Warrior Thorin. Sir Paul and and Warrior Thorin retired not long after Francos Spain ceased to exist and after the events in The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic of The Pacific served as a public relations tool to soften the hard image of the New Pacific Order that had earned them so many enemies early on. To some people who believed this wholly, they refer to the People's Republic of The Pacific as the golden age of The Pacific to this day. While the time of the People's Republic of The Pacific was excellent for foreign affairs relations and further solidifying the decision to recognize the regime established by Francos Spain as legitimate, it maintained the core principles upon which the New Pacific Order was initially founded. During its existence there were several more coup attempts on The North Pacific, some of which were attributed to members of the People's Republic of The Pacific and an alliance with ambitious anti-United Nations organization Gatesville was concluded. Strong alliances with The East Pacific, USSR, New Sparrow, and Gatesville allowed for a much more influential stance on the world stage. <br />
<br />
On April 16, 2005, Pope Hope sent Alliance Defense Network operatives to invade The Pacific. When it was proven that this was the case, the Alliance Defense Network backed down.[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/101639-the-pacific-chronicle/] They had been planning to use tactics similar to those of the Puppetmaster siege on The North Pacific.<br />
Mammothistan applied to have the New Pacific Order join the Alliance Defense Network as a joke, which did not sit well with the Alliance Defense Network. Intense disagreements arose over the issue and it ultimately culminated in refusing the application, as most players had expected. The People's Republic of The Pacific was known for several of these joking maneuvers. To some it is remembered as the golden age of The Pacific despite the fact that it was largely the same New Pacific Order under a new branding. Many of the same members remained in leadership roles throughout the existence of this iteration of the New Pacific Order. This was interrupted by the introduction of a new game into the playing field: CyberNations.<br />
<br />
===The Advent and Effect of CyberNations===<br />
<br />
The discovery of CyberNations was a titanic event that led to the loss of a generation of talent from NationStates. Older, established members and mid-level staff migrated to the new game and essentially abandoned NationStates. Hardest hit by this advent were the activity of The Pacific and the leadership of the Alliance Defense Network. Many former enemies even flocked to join the New Pacific Order in CyberNations, such as Unistrut and Dilber of the Alliance Defense Network and Blackbird of the Red Liberty Alliance. The losses incurred by the migration took almost a decade to mitigate. While it was not the death of the New Pacific Order, it was one of the death blows to the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
===The Return of the New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
BlackAdder, seeing the devastating effects of CyberNations on NationStates activity, took a drastic step to try to reignite that lacking activity. As Emperor, he reestablished the New Pacific Order out of both nostalgia and necessity. Mammothistan opposed this effort and was exiled as a traitor to the Order. BlackAdder ended up exiling most of the Senators from the People's Republic of The Pacific era of The Pacific. BlackAdder's new Senate added former The South Pacific Delegate, Goddessness, Sixguns, and Moo Cows with Guns. The bid for igniting new activity was largely unsuccessful in the long term but in the short term successfully brought a measure of life back into an organization hit particularly hard by the new game. The New Pacific Order under BlackAdder formed the Later Alliance with Gatesville, USSR, and New Sparrow to oppose what remained of the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network ultimately collapsed when regions began to realize that they didn't need it as much as it needed them. One by one, the major regions split off and it dwindled away until it no longer existed. The Alliance Defense Network was dead by the end of 2007 and the greatest threat to the New Pacific Order had died. <br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi succeeded BlackAdder and during his term, he purged The Pacific to a point that site administration ultimately implemented Influence, a mechanic designed to disable the ability of delegates to raze a region to the ground without problems. Influence was widely considered a devastating mechanic, but it prevented further such purges of Feeder regions. After one such purge, Ivan Moldavi chose to appoint Moo Cows With Guns to the seat. Moo Cows With Guns was active and interested and connected in CyberNations. Ivan Moldavi had worked to make the two games work in harmony and Moo Cows With Guns was thus a logical successor in his estimation.<br />
<br />
===Turmoil and Treason===<br />
<br />
Moo Cows with Guns became the Delegate of The Pacific when Ivan stepped down. His term was full of turmoil and inactivity in varying patterns. The most prominent happenstance during his term was the sheer volume of attempted coups by many in the game, including some of his own Senators, to try and save The Pacific from the inactivity Moo Cows with Guns allowed. His Senate projected an external view of activity by Moo Cows with Guns himself. Internally, they were the ones endotarting for Moo Cows with Guns, as he could not be bothered to log in on a regular basis. One of the most prolific series of attempts to coup Moo Cows with Guns internally were committed by Senator of Intelligence Darkesia, who disliked Moo Cows with Guns' inactivity and wished to restore the New Pacific Order to its former glory. Moo Cows with Guns managed to find out about one of these coups and exiled her for treason.<br />
<br />
Externally, there were also several events that occurred. The North Pacific temporarily declared war for reasons generally unknown. A group called The Pacific Revolutionary Front attempted to coup Moo Cows with Guns. A defense pact known as the Azure Alliance comprised of signatories The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Taijitu and The Pacific was formed. Gatesville planned with a region called Dhaka to coup Moo Cows with Guns. At one point Moo Cows with Guns conducted a discussion with Empire about Gaspoinia's interest in The Pacific becoming a part of Empire and was told by Empress Lady Phedre (Minineenee) that they had no desire to ally with Moo Cows with Guns as Delegate. Foreign affairs was marred by a general contempt for how far the CyberNations-focused Moo Cows with Guns had run The Pacific's activity into the ground.<br />
<br />
Internally, the Senators made many attempts to restore activity despite Moo Cows with Guns' lack of activity and responsiveness. Ivan Moldavi initiated an effort to rebrand to stir up activity again, proposing several names but eventually settling on the Union Sovereign States of The Pacific. He also proposed an elected Senator to represent the member base to the Senate, though that was not implemented at the time ultimately. New Kervoskia contacted many outside friends in other regions to try and generate various forms of public drama to encourage a rise of responsiveness. While none of these could quite defeat Moo Cows with Guns' damage to the region, they set the groundwork for the next delegate to fix the problems.<br />
<br />
===Longevity and Ambition===<br />
<br />
Early in the Krulltopia era, Gaspoinia pushed for the creation of the position of Senator of Administration. This granted him an administrator position on the New Pacific Order forums. With his work combined with that of several other Senators, activity began to pick up again to an extent. Krulltopia ran into his first problem two years into his term: he could not find a successor willing to take the seat to replace him. A lack of a suitable successor would keep him in office for another four years. Francoism, temporarily discontinued under Moo Cows With Guns, was brought back in full force by Krulltopia's administration. Under the claim of eliminating treaties with "userite" regions, all UCR treaties save those with Gatesville were cancelled immediately. Gaspoinia, now inundated with significant power in the region and holding a monopoly on The Pacific's foreign affairs direction, continued to establish his control.<br />
<br />
The initial burst of activity had begun to taper off slightly again when it came to pass that A Mean Old Man and Feux ascended to the Senate. Shortly after this, Milograd followed after his coup of The South Pacific which had been themed on a socialist republic[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=14052934#p14052934]. Milograd was not removed from the region despite claims of intent to punish him, but instead made the head of Foreign Affairs. Not long after this, he, too, joined Krulltopia's Senate. This became most relevant because, combined with Senator Karpathos, the four of them began to wage war against Gaspoinia from within. After a massive internal struggle, Gaspoinia, whose ambitions to draw The Pacific into Gatesville's aegis yet further were in the process of expanding, lost the battle for power against the four. He attempted to coup the region before his exit, but was stopped before any lasting damage could be done.<br />
<br />
This left Feux, A Mean Old Man, Milograd, and Karpathos with a large amount of control of the Pacific Senate. None of them were considered for the position of Regent, however, that instead falling to Elegarth and Rothinzil. Both continued the trend of refusing to take the seat from Krulltopia, and his other options for succession were deemed unwelcome. The New Pacific Order by 2014 had become characterized by contributions from long-term members such as Aleisyr, Foreign Affairs moves by Elegarth, and ambitious seeking of the Delegacy by Feux. However, activity had begun to siphon away from The Pacific after Feux couped Lazarus and took control of the region from the Imperialists. He, along with some Lazarene natives who supported his operation, contributed to the creation of the People's Republic of Lazarus only months after Milograd's initial coup of The South Pacific. Defenders and the New Pacific Order allied to create the new regime in Lazarus, resulting in a new bloc quite different from that which Gaspoinia had attempted to build. Milograd came to serve as Delegate and Chairman of the People's Republic of Lazarus, marking the region with a new time of great activity and energy. The toll taken on The Pacific by the migration of activity to Lazarus was marked.<br />
<br />
Krulltopia continued to rule The Pacific, but trouble was on the horizon, as the People's Republic of Lazarus would be overthrown to create a name that would live on in infamy.<br />
<br />
Feux, by now the Regent of the New Pacific Order, and Stujenske, the Chairman of Lazarus, decided to coup the region in early 2015. This decision was driven by backlash from banjecting the problematic player Funkadelia, who was raising a fuss over his banjection. Between trouble in the region and their other choice, they overthrew the People's Republic of Lazarus and created the New Lazarene Order. The New Pacific Order decided to back the New Lazarene Order despite better judgment and called in reinforcements from the CyberNations branch. Over 150 pilers were brought to play on the side of the New Lazarene Order, stopping the full impact of the loss of native Lazarene endorsements on Stujenske. Most of the Game Created Regions and many others cut ties with The Pacific and joined a coalition to fight against the mechanical holding of Lazarus. The liberation attempts continuously failed. The Pacific was Condemned[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=177/council=2] by the rest of NationStates using the World Assembly, while Krulltopia[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=175/council=2] and A Mean Old Man[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=176/council=2] were stripped of their Commendations.<br />
<br />
The failures by the liberation force changed when Kazmr, a friend of Milograd's from the South Pacific Socialist Republic coup, betrayed the New Lazarene Order and his friend. Kazmr removed the leaders of the New Lazarene Order and gave the Delegacy back to the other Lazarenes and their allies. Krulltopia was soon given logs by Kazmr, and then Pergamon, of Feux and his allies planning to overthrow him. He banned all of them and chose the only remaining successor option with whom he felt comfortable and who did not reject the seat.<br />
<br />
===Restoration of Order===<br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi proceeded to succeed Krulltopia and undertook the task of stabilizing public relations and foreign affairs. He abolished Francoism almost immediately and banned hero-worship of Francos Spain, announcing both in public for the rest of NationStates to see. This did not change their problems in terms of difficulties with the other communities. The first step to change came in spring 2016 when Cormactopia couped the Osiris Fraternal Order in the face of a rogue individual. An agreement was struck wherein Cormactopia would support a repeal of the Condemnation of The Pacific and cease hostilities in exchange for the New Pacific Order recognizing his coup. The Osiris Fraternal Order was thus recognized as legitimate by the New Pacific Order and The Pacific lost its Condemnation[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=202/council=2].<br />
<br />
Once the Condemnation was gone, Ivan Moldavi proceeded to establish a new alliance with The West Pacific, Balder, and Osiris known as the GCR Sovereignty Accords[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=29261134#p29261134]. This was intended to form a powerful new bloc, though it ran into difficulties fairly quickly. The bloc's alliance with the raider region known as The Black Hawks and the new Regent, Pergamon, became a straining point that led to Osiris' eventual defection and the souring of relations between the remainders of the GCR Sovereignty Accords. The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order existed in a state of hostility due to this rivalry. This continued to cause difficulties with The West Pacific and Balder. Things intensified when a member of the Council of Hawks insulted The Pacific and the liberation of a roleplay region Ankh Mauta, which was at the time occupied by The Black Hawks, was ordered as retaliation. Pergamon publicly took the blame and the backlash and was removed voluntarily from the Regent position to prevent further difficulties. After an explosive fallout with New Kervoskia and Osiris, Ivan stepped down and granted the seat to Aleisyr.<br />
<br />
===The Return of Francoism===<br />
<br />
Aleisyr almost immediately reinstated Francoism after taking the seat per Pergamon's suggestion. Pergamon proceeded to establish the Legio Pacificus (later renamed the Legio Pacifica) with Karenus and the two of them built up a new military to replace the Pacific Expeditionary Force. Aleisyr's reign was marked with further tensions with The Black Hawks, whose influence in the Game Created Regions continued to cause a great deal of trouble. Pergamon and Ever-Wandering Souls, the effective leader of The Black Hawks, held a deep dislike for each other and many problems between The Pacific and The Black Hawks were rooted in this intense dislike. They reached a state of uneasy truce where they agreed to leave each other alone, precipitated by Pergamon's departure from the Consul position.<br />
<br />
Trouble began again when a prominent member of the Rahl family, another political rival of the New Pacific Order, and raiders Funkadelia, Lamb Stone, and Evil Wolf, began to import voters into Lazarus while Funkadelia was Delegate. Spotting the unusual influx, the defender Roavin caused a controversy by posting data exposing this under the name Curious Observations[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=490188]. Defenders began to import their own voters. As there was no evidence of the organization of the raider side other than public movements but ample evidence of defender importation via leaks, the defender side was portrayed as the villains. This was relevant to the New Pacific Order because the defender side had convinced Pergamon, and thus the New Pacific Order, that raiders were taking over Lazarus. The reaction was to create Task Force Lazarus, an intensely secret group intended to fight the raiders, as they saw them, and help reclaim the region. This would, they predicted, come with the additional bonus of a Lazarus more friendly to the New Pacific Order. They successfully helped incite a civil war within the region in the effort to stop the raiders. When the level of incompetence by The Resistance and the leaks of their chats were revealed, the New Pacific Order withdrew and left them to continue their failures alone.<br />
<br />
This did not become relevant again until Imkiville, formerly allied to Evil Wolf and Lamb Stone, seized Lazarus from them. The New Pacific Order sent in people to help stack against the attempts of others to take advantage of the situation, including Empire members and the former occupants of the region who had lost the seat. In order to ensure that the region never fell into their hands, Aleisyr reached out to Adytus, who revealed himself to be none other than Feux, who had only recently been permitted to return to The Pacific after Krulltopia's ban. Feux proceeded to serve as backup in the instance that Imki lost to the deposed party and their allies, as he was trusted to an extent by them under the name Adytus. When Imkiville's victory was assured, the New Pacific Order took a position to help rebuild the region. Tensions were fraught and interests were tested in these groups. The Constitutional Convention failed and Imkiville couped one last time, establishing the region through a less democratic method, much to the outrage of prominent members of The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms.<br />
<br />
With Lazarus successfully liberated, the New Pacific Order looked away from the region for what they thought was a last time and back to their own interests. They established an alliance with The East Pacific, something that had been severed for a time after the New Lazarene Order. The GCR Sovereignty Accords was eliminated due to irreconcilable differences largely centered in an inability to compromise and unwillingness to pursue the relationship. Tensions between The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order reignited when Aleisyr reappointed Pergamon as Consul in the latter half of 2018. This culminated, not in a public outcry, but in an attempt by The Black Hawks to raid St Abbaddon, a region which had been invaded and then made a protectorate by The Pacific after its most prominent member, Topid, offered offense in the form of anti-New Pacific Order propaganda displayed on the region. Topid served as an ally to The Black Hawks, who sought to use rhetoric alien to raiders to turn public opinion in favor of Topid. The Black Hawks missed the target and the resulting pile-off ended in over 300 nations combined piling for control of the region. The fate of St Abbaddon in this time was ultimately decided by the return of the friendly Delegate Kitsco, who banned many of the invaders. The remainders were kicked by members of the Legio Pacificus who were granted Regional Officer status temporarily.<br />
<br />
War was declared on The Black Hawks, a struggle both the New Pacific Order and The Black Hawks had sought, and it looked as if a new battle was about to be openly fought across the game. However, only days later, an unnamed individual seeking to be restored to community membership betrayed Feux and A Mean Old Man and leaked details of Adytus' activities as well as exposing that Feux's allies had been involved. The individual also revealed that Pergamon and Aleisyr had known of his presence. Yet more leaks by another unnamed individual to Cormactopia further in regards to Task Force Lazarus and other details damaged Pergamon and Aleisyr, while a separate grievance afflicted another Senator, Svezjacael. One of the biggest public relations disasters in New Pacific Order history had begun. <br />
<br />
Faced with little choice over the nature of the threats against them, which transcended in-game hostility, Aleisyr transferred the title of Emperor to Lord of Darkness when his potential NationStates New Pacific Order candidates refused the seat. Pergamon and Aleisyr brought new members onto the Senate in hopes that they could replace and repair the damage. Feux, A Mean Old Man, and Stujenske were permanently banned. Jar Wattinree and Xoriet were appointed to Senate as emergency additions. Soon after, Ivan Moldavi would return and also be reappointed. Lord of Darkness additionally reinstated Elegarth, who returned to the region at his request. Pergamon volunteered for a ban to save the region, while Svezjacael was given an exile with conditions. Almost all treaties save that with The East Pacific were cancelled or talks to cancel said treaties were initiated. The Pacific was Condemned a second time.<br />
<br />
===A New Era===<br />
<br />
The Anti-Pacific Coalition formed despite the demands of all regions being almost perfectly met. Ivan Moldavi handled most of the public fallout, with some assistance from Milograd. Members of the Anti-Pacific Coalition attempted to get the new Senate members blacklisted on an OOC level in an attempt to stop them from exerting positive influence over the foreign affairs of The Pacific. These attempts failed ultimately. Elegarth and Xoriet continued to work mostly behind the scenes on that front. Meanwhile, the internal organization of the New Pacific Order was under constant discussion, namely what had gone wrong to cause such a disaster in the first place. All forms of espionage against other regions, as well as coups, were declared illegal and banned under Imperial decree. Francoism was once again abolished, this time with plans to ensure that it never return as an ideology. A new addition in the form of the elected Senate position of Vox Populi was enacted, though the first election would not occur until March.<br />
<br />
The twin mechanical defenses of St Abbaddon and The Pacific continued on, with support from all branches having been summoned. St Abbaddon's treaty was ultimately cancelled when they failed to uphold their end of the bargain and did not recruit, instead relying on the New Pacific Order for support. The Anti-Pacific Coalition promptly piled the region and called it a victory. The Pacific ignored their propaganda and continued to work on internal reforms and external mitigation of the damage. In the meantime, the Anti-Pacific Coalition began to experience troubles of their own. Ever-Wandering Souls was exposed through leaks of a raider commander chat known as The Red Phone as having planned to coup The South Pacific. The Black Hawks avoided much of the fallout by pinning the blame solely on Ever-Wandering Souls and allowing the heat to be redirected to another raider organization whose leadership had been present in the chat. The Anti-Pacific Coalition not long after lost Europeia, a major member, and other members slowly began to break off. They fell into inactivity, only perpetuating the unendorsement campaign against Lord of Darkness' NationStates nation, East Durthang.<br />
<br />
The Legio Pacifica was renamed and Xoriet took command, ceding full control of Foreign Affairs to Elegarth. Early struggles emerged between Lazarus, the New Pacific Order, and the Augustin Alliance in the Warzones, fighting over the New Pacific Order's Warzone Airspace embassy. This kept all parties occupied for a time, though eventually the New Pacific Order ceded the fight for the Warzone embassy in exchange for working with Antifa to capture the Teutonic League from fascists trying to defend the region. The Legio Pacifica was rebuilt with large help from Marina, who, as Praefectus (second-in-command), contributed massively to the activity and training of the military. <br />
<br />
Relations with The East Pacific became uneasy as Fedele, the elected Delegate, began to take a series of unorthodox actions in the region. This culminated in a coup attempt, and it was revealed that they had been planning the coup for months. The New Pacific Order and several other treaty allies of The East Pacific began to plan countermoves before the coup itself occurred, and were the first to issue statements against Fedele and his allies when the coup was executed. Fedele's coup ultimately failed, and relations with The East Pacific continued apace. <br />
<br />
Less than half a year later, Elegarth's work produced a Non-Aggression Pact with The South Pacific and The West Pacific, while Xoriet contributed to establishing a new treaty with Balder. Public relations continued to improve to some extent, especially when it was revealed the same year that some leaders of the Anti-Pacific Coalition had been involved in the votestacking effort in Lazarus that the Resistance had sought to halt. Relations eventually reached a point after several years of hard work that multiple strong treaties were signed, and foreign affairs was at an all-time high in modern NPO. After a time the architects of the Anti-Pacific Coalition ceased to be relevant or powerful and were no longer a threat. In 2022, the last vestiges of that entity vanished when Lazarus and the New Pacific Order reached a state of peace.<br />
<br />
2022 was also the rise of high conflict as raiders with a long history of anti-NPO sentiment began to rise to power. While the New Pacific Order maintained good relations with Lone Wolves United and neutral relations with The Black Hawks, the other forces in raiderdom would have done it harm if they could. Through careful alliance-building, the New Pacific Order achieved an historic peace and alliance with The North Pacific and The West Pacific called Pax Polaris Occidens, intended to protect the territories of the North and the West. The hostile forces were for a time forced to back down through the wishes of their own allies who maintained at least decent relations with The Pacific and The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
Xoriet, Marina, and Elegarth all stepped down after years of service and Syberis took the helm of Foreign Affairs. The time of conflict returned shortly after his ascendance to the position, and continues to this day. Regardless, the New Pacific Order maintains its belief in neutrality and staying out of the messes of other entities who would seek to exploit their forces. Syberis continued the work on Foreign Affairs, while Ender and Dimitri carried on the military legacy. Some conflicts arose during this time, wherein a raider organization declared hostilities against the allies of the New Pacific Order, and difficulties with former partners appeared. By the end of Lord of Darkness' term, this was resolved, and he concluded his delegacy with the longest period of no scandals in modern Pacifican history.<br />
<br />
===The Changes Continue===<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2024, Lord of Darkness appointed the first female Empress of the New Pacific Order (NationStates). Syberis became Regent, and a time of revitalizing internal affairs began.<br />

<div>==History of the New Pacific Order==<br />
<br />
===The August Revolution===<br />
Francos Spain took the Delegacy of The Pacific from inactive Delegate Thedoc on August 28, 2003 after accumulating sufficient endorsements through both internal operation and external forces to seize the region from the democratic defender regime. The New Pacific Order under its historical and present name was founded on August 31, 2003 as a direct result of the [[August Revolution]]. Francos Spain proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while allies InfernoIce, Poskrebyshev and Mammothistan operated strongly alongside him. 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 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]]. Poskrebyshev was the first Senator, and InfernoIce the second. Francos Spain maintained control of The Pacific despite many efforts, both poorly formed and organized by some of the largest alliances and regions in the game, to mechanically take the delegacy from him. Over the course of his months, he also at one point dropped UN status on his nation, stating that he had done so to prove that the region loved him and he was not just a dictator[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4559&pid=28844#pid28844].<br />
<br />
===The Opposition===<br />
<br />
One opposing side and host to the deposed former delegate of The Pacific was [[The Pacific Army]]. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support while using the frequently inactive forrmer delegate Thedoc to claim legitimacy, although other groups tried individually as well. The Pacific Army as a rallying point served as a propaganda machine rather than a militarily threatening force. They resorted to various tactics such as sneaking in spies, generating propaganda, spamming the region, and rallying further outside support against the figure they saw as an unrelenting dictator. Their efforts were not as notable as those by other individuals. Major figures supporting The Pacific Army were the Alliance Defense Network and a coalition of other allies including the Rejected Realms Army, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The East Pacific, and several other regions. Most of the game was arrayed against the New Pacific Order and attacks continued for months. During this time, a Senate comprised of various loyal individuals was established[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/145/announcing-formation-pacific-senate?page=1], with the main figures being Poskrebyshev, InfernoIce, Bertram Stantrous, and Mammothistan. Many of them worked tirelessly in a capacity for Intelligence work as a counter to the numerous enemies scattered across the game.<br />
<br />
An introductory meeting to seize The Pacific from Francos Spain was led by the New Meritocracy and backed by the powerful Alliance Defense Network. It was referred to as the "Summit"[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/259/meritocratic-times-article-npo?page=1&scrollTo=7501]. Initial efforts involved planting nations and slipping UN nations into the region to endorse point nations. There were tensions between the allies when a member of the Alliance Defense Network attempted to take the Delegacy for himself. Requests that he desist were met with compliance. Francos Spain and his Senators proved adept at identifying these points, however, and they banjected the liberation forces from the region before they could accumulate enough endorsements to replace him in the delegacy. <br />
<br />
One particularly notable attempt by an antagonistic individual occurred when a game glitch (referred to as the Battle of the Glitch) removed Francos Spain from the Delegacy[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/184/franco-risen] in late October of 2003. Corinthe, a defender initially from the Alliance Defense Network and later The Youngworld, piled with well over a hundred nations after his removal to attempt to take the delegacy through glitch exploit. The Moderators initially ruled that all nations had to depart because exploiting a glitch was against the rules[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65214#pid65214]. Their departure made it easier for Francos Spain to reclaim the seat with all of his endorsements, though he still had to oppose a large pile that returned when [violet] permitted it[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65233#pid65233]. Like all other attempts, this one failed on October 28, 2003 by a margin of two endorsements, and Corinthe and all endorsers were banjected from the region. Francos Spain posted the following World Factbook Entry[https://archive.tspforums.xyz/showthread.php?tid=4574&pid=65229#pid65229] after regaining control of the region:<br />
<br />
''"Yesterday, we expelled the filthy hordes of opportunists; the flocks of vultures who tried to swoop in and pick us apart, and LO! We live on, stronger than ever! My thanks to the many steadfast nations who supported me against those foreign devils. Also, today, Tuesday, October 28th is the Day of Pacific Revolution. This marks the two month anniversary of my initial rise to the Delegacy. The New Pacific Order is now the most stable and longest lasting administration in the history of the Pacific."''<br />
<br />
===The New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
After the failure of the Battle of the Glitch, regions returned to the same enthusiastic but disorganized propaganda efforts that achieved very little of mechanical value. Over the course of the next half-year, several former avowed enemies such as [[LadyRebels]] and [[1 Infinite Loop]] joined the forums of the New Pacific Order and became more acquainted with the community. Eventually peace was made with The South Pacific[https://newpacificorder.proboards.com/thread/237/delegate-south-pacific?page=1]. The East Pacific and the New Pacific Order signed a treaty and lasting friendships were established. The Alliance Defense Network continued on as an enemy, but the New Pacific Order made alliances with regions such as the USSR and New Sparrow over a period of months. As time passed, more and more regions began to recognize the New Pacific Order as legitimate. There were many holdouts, such as The North Pacific, especially under the intensely hostile Twoslit Experiment, and the Rejected Realms Army, especially related to [[CrazyGirl]], who was also a member of The Pacific Army. Francos Spain wished to establish a Roman Republic theme initially but in the face of accusations of being a dictator, wound up making it as much of a Russian/Soviet theme as a Roman Republic one.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network remained a powerful enemy and many efforts to combat them were undertaken, such as an attempt to support a coup initiated by Great Bight, in which moderators permitted a cheat tactic known as Puppetmaster to take the delegacy back for the Alliance Defense Network and their allies. The cheat exploit had initially been planned to use against the New Pacific Order but was used instead to reclaim the delegacy of The North Pacific. Francos was involved in this but only to a peripheral degree, as his nation after initially endotarting went inactive and the claim that he had gone on vacation was utilized. The New Pacific Order claimed that the effort was due to not wanting to see instability in The North Pacific and maintained this story.<br />
<br />
With alliances formed, some lasting, some not, the New Pacific Order continued on with Francos Spain at the helm. New members continued to file in as former enemies began to slowly realize that the New Pacific Order was not as loathsome as their allies would have them believe. Some of these former enemies later became Senators or Governors. With new members and activity surging, the New Pacific Order despite setbacks in The North Pacific was doing well for itself. They aimed to win the culture war and defeat the propaganda of the opposition. The forums of The Pacific became a favored place to cultivate time in good company despite their demonized reputation.<br />
<br />
===The People's Republic of The Pacific===<br />
<br />
The time of Francos Spain came to a close when he and Poskrebyshev chose to depart NationStates. With the inspiration for the Revolution departed and a foreign affairs image to ameliorate, the response by new Emperor Unlimited and the remaining Senate was to found the People's Republic of the Pacific (PRP) as a slightly different but still effective operational clone of the New Pacific Order. This took place on September 1, 2004. They operated almost exactly the same and were a continuation of the New Pacific Order, but operated under another name. They used this rebrand to improve the image of The Pacific and ultimately secure recognition of their legitimacy among others, including numerous holdouts who had stubbornly clung to the rhetoric of the deposed natives and the defenders. The Senate comprised of Mammothistan and BlackAdder remained similar to what it had been, with some new additions such as Mussolandia, Doppelganger, Chosen Men, and Warrior Thorin. Sir Paul and and Warrior Thorin retired not long after Francos Spain ceased to exist and after the events in The North Pacific.<br />
<br />
The People's Republic of The Pacific served as a public relations tool to soften the hard image of the New Pacific Order that had earned them so many enemies early on. To some people who believed this wholly, they refer to the People's Republic of The Pacific as the golden age of The Pacific to this day. While the time of the People's Republic of The Pacific was excellent for foreign affairs relations and further solidifying the decision to recognize the regime established by Francos Spain as legitimate, it maintained the core principles upon which the New Pacific Order was initially founded. During its existence there were several more coup attempts on The North Pacific, some of which were attributed to members of the People's Republic of The Pacific and an alliance with ambitious anti-United Nations organization Gatesville was concluded. Strong alliances with The East Pacific, USSR, New Sparrow, and Gatesville allowed for a much more influential stance on the world stage. <br />
<br />
On April 16, 2005, Pope Hope sent Alliance Defense Network operatives to invade The Pacific. When it was proven that this was the case, the Alliance Defense Network backed down.[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/101639-the-pacific-chronicle/] They had been planning to use tactics similar to those of the Puppetmaster siege on The North Pacific.<br />
Mammothistan applied to have the New Pacific Order join the Alliance Defense Network as a joke, which did not sit well with the Alliance Defense Network. Intense disagreements arose over the issue and it ultimately culminated in refusing the application, as most players had expected. The People's Republic of The Pacific was known for several of these joking maneuvers. To some it is remembered as the golden age of The Pacific despite the fact that it was largely the same New Pacific Order under a new branding. Many of the same members remained in leadership roles throughout the existence of this iteration of the New Pacific Order. This was interrupted by the introduction of a new game into the playing field: CyberNations.<br />
<br />
===The Advent and Effect of CyberNations===<br />
<br />
The discovery of CyberNations was a titanic event that led to the loss of a generation of talent from NationStates. Older, established members and mid-level staff migrated to the new game and essentially abandoned NationStates. Hardest hit by this advent were the activity of The Pacific and the leadership of the Alliance Defense Network. Many former enemies even flocked to join the New Pacific Order in CyberNations, such as Unistrut and Dilber of the Alliance Defense Network and Blackbird of the Red Liberty Alliance. The losses incurred by the migration took almost a decade to mitigate. While it was not the death of the New Pacific Order, it was one of the death blows to the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
===The Return of the New Pacific Order===<br />
<br />
BlackAdder, seeing the devastating effects of CyberNations on NationStates activity, took a drastic step to try to reignite that lacking activity. As Emperor, he reestablished the New Pacific Order out of both nostalgia and necessity. Mammothistan opposed this effort and was exiled as a traitor to the Order. BlackAdder ended up exiling most of the Senators from the People's Republic of The Pacific era of The Pacific. BlackAdder's new Senate added former The South Pacific Delegate, Goddessness, Sixguns, and Moo Cows with Guns. The bid for igniting new activity was largely unsuccessful in the long term but in the short term successfully brought a measure of life back into an organization hit particularly hard by the new game. The New Pacific Order under BlackAdder formed the Later Alliance with Gatesville, USSR, and New Sparrow to oppose what remained of the Alliance Defense Network.<br />
<br />
The Alliance Defense Network ultimately collapsed when regions began to realize that they didn't need it as much as it needed them. One by one, the major regions split off and it dwindled away until it no longer existed. The Alliance Defense Network was dead by the end of 2007 and the greatest threat to the New Pacific Order had died. <br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi succeeded BlackAdder and during his term, he purged The Pacific to a point that site administration ultimately implemented Influence, a mechanic designed to disable the ability of delegates to raze a region to the ground without problems. Influence was widely considered a devastating mechanic, but it prevented further such purges of Feeder regions. After one such purge, Ivan Moldavi chose to appoint Moo Cows With Guns to the seat. Moo Cows With Guns was active and interested and connected in CyberNations. Ivan Moldavi had worked to make the two games work in harmony and Moo Cows With Guns was thus a logical successor in his estimation.<br />
<br />
===Turmoil and Treason===<br />
<br />
Moo Cows with Guns became the Delegate of The Pacific when Ivan stepped down. His term was full of turmoil and inactivity in varying patterns. The most prominent happenstance during his term was the sheer volume of attempted coups by many in the game, including some of his own Senators, to try and save The Pacific from the inactivity Moo Cows with Guns allowed. His Senate projected an external view of activity by Moo Cows with Guns himself. Internally, they were the ones endotarting for Moo Cows with Guns, as he could not be bothered to log in on a regular basis. One of the most prolific series of attempts to coup Moo Cows with Guns internally were committed by Senator of Intelligence Darkesia, who disliked Moo Cows with Guns' inactivity and wished to restore the New Pacific Order to its former glory. Moo Cows with Guns managed to find out about one of these coups and exiled her for treason.<br />
<br />
Externally, there were also several events that occurred. The North Pacific temporarily declared war for reasons generally unknown. A group called The Pacific Revolutionary Front attempted to coup Moo Cows with Guns. A defense pact known as the Azure Alliance comprised of signatories The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Taijitu and The Pacific was formed. Gatesville planned with a region called Dhaka to coup Moo Cows with Guns. At one point Moo Cows with Guns conducted a discussion with Empire about Gaspoinia's interest in The Pacific becoming a part of Empire and was told by Empress Lady Phedre (Minineenee) that they had no desire to ally with Moo Cows with Guns as Delegate. Foreign affairs was marred by a general contempt for how far the CyberNations-focused Moo Cows with Guns had run The Pacific's activity into the ground.<br />
<br />
Internally, the Senators made many attempts to restore activity despite Moo Cows with Guns' lack of activity and responsiveness. Ivan Moldavi initiated an effort to rebrand to stir up activity again, proposing several names but eventually settling on the Union Sovereign States of The Pacific. He also proposed an elected Senator to represent the member base to the Senate, though that was not implemented at the time ultimately. New Kervoskia contacted many outside friends in other regions to try and generate various forms of public drama to encourage a rise of responsiveness. While none of these could quite defeat Moo Cows with Guns' damage to the region, they set the groundwork for the next delegate to fix the problems.<br />
<br />
===Longevity and Ambition===<br />
<br />
Early in the Krulltopia era, Gaspoinia pushed for the creation of the position of Senator of Administration. This granted him an administrator position on the New Pacific Order forums. With his work combined with that of several other Senators, activity began to pick up again to an extent. Krulltopia ran into his first problem two years into his term: he could not find a successor willing to take the seat to replace him. A lack of a suitable successor would keep him in office for another four years. Francoism, temporarily discontinued under Moo Cows With Guns, was brought back in full force by Krulltopia's administration. Under the claim of eliminating treaties with "userite" regions, all UCR treaties save those with Gatesville were cancelled immediately. Gaspoinia, now inundated with significant power in the region and holding a monopoly on The Pacific's foreign affairs direction, continued to establish his control.<br />
<br />
The initial burst of activity had begun to taper off slightly again when it came to pass that A Mean Old Man and Feux ascended to the Senate. Shortly after this, Milograd followed after his coup of The South Pacific which had been themed on a socialist republic[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=14052934#p14052934]. Milograd was not removed from the region despite claims of intent to punish him, but instead made the head of Foreign Affairs. Not long after this, he, too, joined Krulltopia's Senate. This became most relevant because, combined with Senator Karpathos, the four of them began to wage war against Gaspoinia from within. After a massive internal struggle, Gaspoinia, whose ambitions to draw The Pacific into Gatesville's aegis yet further were in the process of expanding, lost the battle for power against the four. He attempted to coup the region before his exit, but was stopped before any lasting damage could be done.<br />
<br />
This left Feux, A Mean Old Man, Milograd, and Karpathos with a large amount of control of the Pacific Senate. None of them were considered for the position of Regent, however, that instead falling to Elegarth and Rothinzil. Both continued the trend of refusing to take the seat from Krulltopia, and his other options for succession were deemed unwelcome. The New Pacific Order by 2014 had become characterized by contributions from long-term members such as Aleisyr, Foreign Affairs moves by Elegarth, and ambitious seeking of the Delegacy by Feux. However, activity had begun to siphon away from The Pacific after Feux couped Lazarus and took control of the region from the Imperialists. He, along with some Lazarene natives who supported his operation, contributed to the creation of the People's Republic of Lazarus only months after Milograd's initial coup of The South Pacific. Defenders and the New Pacific Order allied to create the new regime in Lazarus, resulting in a new bloc quite different from that which Gaspoinia had attempted to build. Milograd came to serve as Delegate and Chairman of the People's Republic of Lazarus, marking the region with a new time of great activity and energy. The toll taken on The Pacific by the migration of activity to Lazarus was marked.<br />
<br />
Krulltopia continued to rule The Pacific, but trouble was on the horizon, as the People's Republic of Lazarus would be overthrown to create a name that would live on in infamy.<br />
<br />
Feux, by now the Regent of the New Pacific Order, and Stujenske, the Chairman of Lazarus, decided to coup the region in early 2015. This decision was driven by backlash from banjecting the problematic player Funkadelia, who was raising a fuss over his banjection. Between trouble in the region and their other choice, they overthrew the People's Republic of Lazarus and created the New Lazarene Order. The New Pacific Order decided to back the New Lazarene Order despite better judgment and called in reinforcements from the CyberNations branch. Over 150 pilers were brought to play on the side of the New Lazarene Order, stopping the full impact of the loss of native Lazarene endorsements on Stujenske. Most of the Game Created Regions and many others cut ties with The Pacific and joined a coalition to fight against the mechanical holding of Lazarus. The liberation attempts continuously failed. The Pacific was Condemned[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=177/council=2] by the rest of NationStates using the World Assembly, while Krulltopia[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=175/council=2] and A Mean Old Man[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=176/council=2] were stripped of their Commendations.<br />
<br />
The failures by the liberation force changed when Kazmr, a friend of Milograd's from the South Pacific Socialist Republic coup, betrayed the New Lazarene Order and his friend. Kazmr removed the leaders of the New Lazarene Order and gave the Delegacy back to the other Lazarenes and their allies. Krulltopia was soon given logs by Kazmr, and then Pergamon, of Feux and his allies planning to overthrow him. He banned all of them and chose the only remaining successor option with whom he felt comfortable and who did not reject the seat.<br />
<br />
===Restoration of Order===<br />
<br />
Ivan Moldavi proceeded to succeed Krulltopia and undertook the task of stabilizing public relations and foreign affairs. He abolished Francoism almost immediately and banned hero-worship of Francos Spain, announcing both in public for the rest of NationStates to see. This did not change their problems in terms of difficulties with the other communities. The first step to change came in spring 2016 when Cormactopia couped the Osiris Fraternal Order in the face of a rogue individual. An agreement was struck wherein Cormactopia would support a repeal of the Condemnation of The Pacific and cease hostilities in exchange for the New Pacific Order recognizing his coup. The Osiris Fraternal Order was thus recognized as legitimate by the New Pacific Order and The Pacific lost its Condemnation[https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=202/council=2].<br />
<br />
Once the Condemnation was gone, Ivan Moldavi proceeded to establish a new alliance with The West Pacific, Balder, and Osiris known as the GCR Sovereignty Accords[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=29261134#p29261134]. This was intended to form a powerful new bloc, though it ran into difficulties fairly quickly. The bloc's alliance with the raider region known as The Black Hawks and the new Regent, Pergamon, became a straining point that led to Osiris' eventual defection and the souring of relations between the remainders of the GCR Sovereignty Accords. The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order existed in a state of hostility due to this rivalry. This continued to cause difficulties with The West Pacific and Balder. Things intensified when a member of the Council of Hawks insulted The Pacific and the liberation of a roleplay region Ankh Mauta, which was at the time occupied by The Black Hawks, was ordered as retaliation. Pergamon publicly took the blame and the backlash and was removed voluntarily from the Regent position to prevent further difficulties. After an explosive fallout with New Kervoskia and Osiris, Ivan stepped down and granted the seat to Aleisyr.<br />
<br />
===The Return of Francoism===<br />
<br />
Aleisyr almost immediately reinstated Francoism after taking the seat per Pergamon's suggestion. Pergamon proceeded to establish the Legio Pacificus (later renamed the Legio Pacifica) with Karenus and the two of them built up a new military to replace the Pacific Expeditionary Force. Aleisyr's reign was marked with further tensions with The Black Hawks, whose influence in the Game Created Regions continued to cause a great deal of trouble. Pergamon and Ever-Wandering Souls, the effective leader of The Black Hawks, held a deep dislike for each other and many problems between The Pacific and The Black Hawks were rooted in this intense dislike. They reached a state of uneasy truce where they agreed to leave each other alone, precipitated by Pergamon's departure from the Consul position.<br />
<br />
Trouble began again when a prominent member of the Rahl family, another political rival of the New Pacific Order, and raiders Funkadelia, Lamb Stone, and Evil Wolf, began to import voters into Lazarus while Funkadelia was Delegate. Spotting the unusual influx, the defender Roavin caused a controversy by posting data exposing this under the name Curious Observations[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=490188]. Defenders began to import their own voters. As there was no evidence of the organization of the raider side other than public movements but ample evidence of defender importation via leaks, the defender side was portrayed as the villains. This was relevant to the New Pacific Order because the defender side had convinced Pergamon, and thus the New Pacific Order, that raiders were taking over Lazarus. The reaction was to create Task Force Lazarus, an intensely secret group intended to fight the raiders, as they saw them, and help reclaim the region. This would, they predicted, come with the additional bonus of a Lazarus more friendly to the New Pacific Order. They successfully helped incite a civil war within the region in the effort to stop the raiders. When the level of incompetence by The Resistance and the leaks of their chats were revealed, the New Pacific Order withdrew and left them to continue their failures alone.<br />
<br />
This did not become relevant again until Imkiville, formerly allied to Evil Wolf and Lamb Stone, seized Lazarus from them. The New Pacific Order sent in people to help stack against the attempts of others to take advantage of the situation, including Empire members and the former occupants of the region who had lost the seat. In order to ensure that the region never fell into their hands, Aleisyr reached out to Adytus, who revealed himself to be none other than Feux, who had only recently been permitted to return to The Pacific after Krulltopia's ban. Feux proceeded to serve as backup in the instance that Imki lost to the deposed party and their allies, as he was trusted to an extent by them under the name Adytus. When Imkiville's victory was assured, the New Pacific Order took a position to help rebuild the region. Tensions were fraught and interests were tested in these groups. The Constitutional Convention failed and Imkiville couped one last time, establishing the region through a less democratic method, much to the outrage of prominent members of The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms.<br />
<br />
With Lazarus successfully liberated, the New Pacific Order looked away from the region for what they thought was a last time and back to their own interests. They established an alliance with The East Pacific, something that had been severed for a time after the New Lazarene Order. The GCR Sovereignty Accords was eliminated due to irreconcilable differences largely centered in an inability to compromise and unwillingness to pursue the relationship. Tensions between The Black Hawks and the New Pacific Order reignited when Aleisyr reappointed Pergamon as Consul in the latter half of 2018. This culminated, not in a public outcry, but in an attempt by The Black Hawks to raid St Abbaddon, a region which had been invaded and then made a protectorate by The Pacific after its most prominent member, Topid, offered offense in the form of anti-New Pacific Order propaganda displayed on the region. Topid served as an ally to The Black Hawks, who sought to use rhetoric alien to raiders to turn public opinion in favor of Topid. The Black Hawks missed the target and the resulting pile-off ended in over 300 nations combined piling for control of the region. The fate of St Abbaddon in this time was ultimately decided by the return of the friendly Delegate Kitsco, who banned many of the invaders. The remainders were kicked by members of the Legio Pacificus who were granted Regional Officer status temporarily.<br />
<br />
War was declared on The Black Hawks, a struggle both the New Pacific Order and The Black Hawks had sought, and it looked as if a new battle was about to be openly fought across the game. However, only days later, an unnamed individual seeking to be restored to community membership betrayed Feux and A Mean Old Man and leaked details of Adytus' activities as well as exposing that Feux's allies had been involved. The individual also revealed that Pergamon and Aleisyr had known of his presence. Yet more leaks by another unnamed individual to Cormactopia further in regards to Task Force Lazarus and other details damaged Pergamon and Aleisyr, while a separate grievance afflicted another Senator, Svezjacael. One of the biggest public relations disasters in New Pacific Order history had begun. <br />
<br />
Faced with little choice over the nature of the threats against them, which transcended in-game hostility, Aleisyr transferred the title of Emperor to Lord of Darkness when his potential NationStates New Pacific Order candidates refused the seat. Pergamon and Aleisyr brought new members onto the Senate in hopes that they could replace and repair the damage. Feux, A Mean Old Man, and Stujenske were permanently banned. Jar Wattinree and Xoriet were appointed to Senate as emergency additions. Soon after, Ivan Moldavi would return and also be reappointed. Lord of Darkness additionally reinstated Elegarth, who returned to the region at his request. Pergamon volunteered for a ban to save the region, while Svezjacael was given an exile with conditions. Almost all treaties save that with The East Pacific were cancelled or talks to cancel said treaties were initiated. The Pacific was Condemned a second time.<br />
<br />
===A New Era===<br />
<br />
The Anti-Pacific Coalition formed despite the demands of all regions being almost perfectly met. Ivan Moldavi handled most of the public fallout, with some assistance from Milograd. Members of the Anti-Pacific Coalition attempted to get the new Senate members blacklisted on an OOC level in an attempt to stop them from exerting positive influence over the foreign affairs of The Pacific. These attempts failed ultimately. Elegarth and Xoriet continued to work mostly behind the scenes on that front. Meanwhile, the internal organization of the New Pacific Order was under constant discussion, namely what had gone wrong to cause such a disaster in the first place. All forms of espionage against other regions, as well as coups, were declared illegal and banned under Imperial decree. Francoism was once again abolished, this time with plans to ensure that it never return as an ideology. A new addition in the form of the elected Senate position of Vox Populi was enacted, though the first election would not occur until March.<br />
<br />
The twin mechanical defenses of St Abbaddon and The Pacific continued on, with support from all branches having been summoned. St Abbaddon's treaty was ultimately cancelled when they failed to uphold their end of the bargain and did not recruit, instead relying on the New Pacific Order for support. The Anti-Pacific Coalition promptly piled the region and called it a victory. The Pacific ignored their propaganda and continued to work on internal reforms and external mitigation of the damage. In the meantime, the Anti-Pacific Coalition began to experience troubles of their own. Ever-Wandering Souls was exposed through leaks of a raider commander chat known as The Red Phone as having planned to coup The South Pacific. The Black Hawks avoided much of the fallout by pinning the blame solely on Ever-Wandering Souls and allowing the heat to be redirected to another raider organization whose leadership had been present in the chat. The Anti-Pacific Coalition not long after lost Europeia, a major member, and other members slowly began to break off. They fell into inactivity, only perpetuating the unendorsement campaign against Lord of Darkness' NationStates nation, East Durthang.<br />
<br />
The Legio Pacifica was renamed and Xoriet took command, ceding full control of Foreign Affairs to Elegarth. Early struggles emerged between Lazarus, the New Pacific Order, and the Augustin Alliance in the Warzones, fighting over the New Pacific Order's Warzone Airspace embassy. This kept all parties occupied for a time, though eventually the New Pacific Order ceded the fight for the Warzone embassy in exchange for working with Antifa to capture the Teutonic League from fascists trying to defend the region. The Legio Pacifica was rebuilt with large help from Marina, who, as Praefectus (second-in-command), contributed massively to the activity and training of the military. <br />
<br />
Relations with The East Pacific became uneasy as Fedele, the elected Delegate, began to take a series of unorthodox actions in the region. This culminated in a coup attempt, and it was revealed that they had been planning the coup for months. The New Pacific Order and several other treaty allies of The East Pacific began to plan countermoves before the coup itself occurred, and were the first to issue statements against Fedele and his allies when the coup was executed. Fedele's coup ultimately failed, and relations with The East Pacific continued apace. <br />
<br />
Less than half a year later, Elegarth's work produced a Non-Aggression Pact with The South Pacific and The West Pacific, while Xoriet contributed to establishing a new treaty with Balder. Public relations continued to improve to some extent, especially when it was revealed the same year that some leaders of the Anti-Pacific Coalition had been involved in the votestacking effort in Lazarus that the Resistance had sought to halt. Relations eventually reached a point after several years of hard work that multiple strong treaties were signed, and foreign affairs was at an all-time high in modern NPO. After a time the architects of the Anti-Pacific Coalition ceased to be relevant or powerful and were no longer a threat. In 2022, the last vestiges of that entity vanished when Lazarus and the New Pacific Order reached a state of peace.<br />
<br />
2022 was also the rise of high conflict as raiders with a long history of anti-NPO sentiment began to rise to power. While the New Pacific Order maintained good relations with Lone Wolves United and neutral relations with The Black Hawks, the other forces in raiderdom would have done it harm if they could. Through careful alliance-building, the New Pacific Order achieved an historic peace and alliance with The North Pacific and The West Pacific called Pax Polaris Occidens, intended to protect the territories of the North and the West. The hostile forces were for a time forced to back down through the wishes of their own allies who maintained at least decent relations with The Pacific and The West Pacific.<br />
<br />
Xoriet, Marina, and Elegarth all stepped down after years of service and Syberis took the helm of Foreign Affairs. The time of conflict returned shortly after his ascendance to the position, and continues to this day. Regardless, the New Pacific Order maintains its belief in neutrality and staying out of the messes of other entities who would seek to exploit their forces. Syberis continued the work on Foreign Affairs, while Ender and Dimitri carried on the military legacy. Some conflicts arose during this time, wherein a raider organization declared hostilities against the allies of the New Pacific Order, and difficulties with former partners appeared. By the end of Lord of Darkness' term, this was resolved, and he concluded his delegacy with the longest period of no scandals in modern Pacifican history.<br />
<br />
===The Changes Continue===<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2024, Lord of Darkness appointed the first female Empress of the New Pacific Order (NationStates). Syberis became Regent, and a time of revitalizing internal affairs began.<br />

'''The East Pacific''' is a [[Feeder]] region in [[NationStates]]. It was originally a User Created Region (UCR) founded by a nation called Hitler the Great and later became a Game Created Region (GCR) through admins choosing to keep the naming scheme originally instated by the creation of The Pacific, the first Feeder. The East Pacific as a region was captured by the Farkers early on in its phase as a User Created Region and was only recreated into a Feeder during their occupation of the region. As a result, the Delegate, [[1 Infinite Loop]], became the de facto leader of the region. He is considered to be the father of The East Pacific. Other significant names both good and bad include [[Todd McCloud]], [[A Slanted Black Stripe]], [[A Mean Old Man]], [[Bachtendekuppen]], [[Ramaeus]] and [[Fedele]].<br />
<br />
The East Pacific is a democratic Feeder which prides itself on neutrality and refusing to take sides in foreign issues. They also possess a sense of humor and do not take the outside world all that seriously. The East Pacific has found the most pleasure across the years in a strong roleplay community and have ignored Gameplay for years during some Delegacies, preferring to pursue their own internal interests.<br />
<br />
==Government of The East Pacific==<br />
The East Pacific is governed by the laws set down by the Concordat, which can only be changed through a citizen referendum. Within the Concordat, the government is established by division into three major branches: The Magisterium (legislature), the Conclave (judiciary), and the Executive (the Delegate and their Ministers). Most of the major East Pacific positions are elected, though some Executive positions remain available for appointment by the Delegate rather than through a vote by the Magisterium.<br />
<br />
===The Executive===<br />
The Executive branch of The East Pacific is led by the Delegate, supported by the Vice Delegate, and further backed by the Overseeing Officer of the military (The Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army), the Minister of Information, the Minister of Culture, the Minister of World Assembly Affairs, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and several other minor departments that contribute to the region. The setup of the Executive branch involves collaboration and cooperation among the members of the Delegate's Cabinet. The Delegate is the most significant position and has the power to remake the Executive as they please, so long as the positions determined by existing laws are modified legally and with the cooperation of the Magisterium.<br />
<br />
===The Conclave===<br />
The Conclave consists of four Arbiters, one of whom is chosen from within to be the Viceroy, or leader of the Conclave. The Viceroy becomes responsible for several important duties after appointment, most important of all those duties being the oversight of the Delegate elections. The Conclave is also tasked with security regarding citizenship, judicial rulings on the legality of proposed laws and existing situations, and presiding over trials brought before them by the Delegate or Viziers. They may also issue formal opinions on issues brought to them for review.<ref>[https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1275993 Conclave]</ref><br />
<br />
===The Magisterium===<br />
The Magisterium consists of the Magisters and is led by the Provost, who is elected among Magisters. The Provost is assisted by the Deputy Provost. Magisters serve as legislators and the democratic voice of implementation of laws. They discuss and debate proposed laws before motioning said law to a vote and having the Magisterium vote on such a law. A majority vote determines the implementation of the law. The Magisterium will also vote on Executive privileges such as treaties that have been negotiated by the Foreign Affairs department and the Delegate. Magisters can be removed by the Conclave. <ref>[https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1275897 Magisterium]</ref><br />
<br />
==History of The East Pacific==<br />
<br />
The East Pacific, as is aforementioned, began as a User Created Region founded by the improbably named "Hitler the Great". In this time, regions were not automatically assigned a Founder despite a player founding that region, which left all regions open to invasion. 1 Infinite Loop was notorious for purging every nation that posed a threat to his reign. He nonetheless concluded his delegacy by establishing a functional region that operated as a democracy despite his autocratic methods of taking control of the region. The East Pacific progressed peacefully after 1 Infinite Loop's term for years.<br />
<br />
In 2008, The East Pacific's continuity was interrupted by a coup orchestrated by a group called Empire.<ref>{{forumlink|TSPArchive|topic=3817|post=95122}}</ref> They overthrew the inactive sitting Delegate, Gnidrah, and [[Lady Phedre]] assumed the seat. The group, which remains notorious to the present day, consisted of Lady Phedre ([[Minineenee]]), Lady Anastasia ([[Dalimbar]]), Lord Rahl ([[Biyah]]), and [[Neo Kervoskia]]. They held the region for eight months. Two different accounts claim that the conclusion of the coup was either a result of Empire being overthrown by regional hero [[A Slanted Black Stripe]] and his allies, or that Empire elected to leave on their own terms. The result of the end of the coup was a constitutional convention which established most of the structure of the region that still exists today. <br />
<br />
Shortly after the constitutional convention, in 2009 a new figure who would become integral to the history of The East Pacific rose to power: Todd McCloud. Todd McCloud soon came to be seen as the face of The East Pacific across his many terms as Delegate to the wider Gameplay sphere. Todd McCloud was a former raider from Fox Rite, whose excellent stewardship of The East Pacific led to the beginnings of believing that raiders could, in fact, possibly be trusted in GCRs. The next notable Delegate after Todd was [[A Mean Old Man]]. A Mean Old Man's term achieved many things, but most prominently the establishment of The East Pacific's military and a strong sense of loyalty and patriotism to the East. The Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army later served as a valuable tool for pursuing a Foreign Affairs agenda. <br />
<br />
The next major upheaval in The East Pacific's history occurred after the election of [[Bachtendekuppen]]. Bachtendekuppen was the Delegate during the infamous Defender Act, which threatened to divide and disrupt the region. Due to Todd McCloud and Bachtendekuppen, the Defender Act was defeated. Ramaeus was elected after the conclusion of Bachtendekuppen's second term, and under him a far more Foreign Affairs-oriented administration reigned. His progressive agenda kept The East Pacific in a strong position internationally and inspired an active, flourishing, and cohesive region. His Delegacy restored the peace to a previously fractured region and led to a time of prosperity that did not end for some time. It was in this situation that the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army's existence furthered good relations between many regions. <br />
<br />
Ramaeus' first term ended in scandal, however, as Belschaft of The South Pacific enticed Todd McCloud to aid him in removing a member of The South Pacific whose existence he deemed harmful. That player was the same individual who had harmed The East Pacific with the abolished Defender Act. This was called "Operation Brave Little Toaster", named after a South Pacifican tradition of challenging the Delegate, and was a plot to votestack the region to remove that player from power. It fell into disuse until Cormac Stark exposed its existence in late 2014 during The East Pacific's ongoing Delegate platform stage. Due to the fallout, The East Pacific's major candidates, almost all of whom were involved in the discussions, dropped out and requested a Delegate who could repair the damage. Bridges were mended with The South Pacific during that term.<br />
<br />
The East Pacific did not again see significant troubles until [[Aelitia]], a long-term member and previously trusted East Pacifican who had served faithfully and loyally in The East Pacific for many years as Viceroy, was elected in 2017. Aelitia's Delegacy was disrupted with rumors started by Lord Ravenclaw that Aelitia planned to coup the region and was importing voters. Lord Ravenclaw's influence with certain members enabled him to have Aelitia removed unjustly until the law ruled on Aelitia's side and he was able to complete his term.<br />
<br />
One of the most disruptive and significant events in The East Pacific's history was the election of [[Queen Yuno]] to the delegacy in 2017, complete with two more terms lasting until October 2018. Queen Yuno led The East Pacific to a powerful place on the world stage and made many allies for the region, but also oversaw considerable internal chaos and harm to established region members from her new recruits. Queen Yuno's third Delegacy term ended in scandal, with Queen Yuno and many of her followers banned from the region. This led to the Delegacy of Fedele, who became a different kind of threat to the region at the end of his third term.<br />
<br />
In October 2019, sitting Delegate [[Fedele]] was the next to coup the region. He couped during an ongoing Conclave review into the results of the Delegate election and after months of planning a coup that waited until his decision to leave the seat to actually occur. His coup was short, lasting only 24 hours and seen as an obvious loss before the first 12 hours had passed. His coup was opposed by powerful figures internally including former Delegates [[Bachtendekuppen]], [[Todd McCloud]], [[Aelitia]], [[Ramaeus]], Vizier [[East Malaysia]], and the recently-elected Delegate-elect, [[Marrabuk]]. Fedele found no exterior support, abandoned by all players both internally and externally save his few co-conspirators in the region. Aelitia claimed the Delegacy at the end of Fedele's coup and helped protect the Delegacy until Marrabuk reached the requisite number of endorsements to assume the seat.<br />
