History of the New Pacific Order in NationStates

History of the New Pacific Order

The New Pacific Order was founded on August 31, 2003 as a direct result of the August Revolution. Although it has operated under several names and charters since, the Order has maintained a politically continuous government since its founding. Francos Spain, the founder of the New Pacific Order, seized the Delegacy of The Pacific from defender delegate Thedoc. He proceeded to establish a new government in which he served as the face of the Order and executioner of activities, while 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 from many players across many regions. He repelled all attempts to take it back. His original major supporters aiding in keeping the region secure and intact were Infernoice and Poskrebyshev. The opposing side and major opponent to the fledgling Order was The Pacific Army, with notable figures Thedoc and CrazyGirl as members. The Pacific Army was the rallying point for much support, although other groups tried individually as well.

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, 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[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.

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[2] in late October. Corinthe, a defender 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 a glitch exploit. The Moderators initially ruled that all nations had to depart because exploiting a glitch was against the rules[3]. 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[4]. 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[5] after regaining control of the region:

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.

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[6] and The East Pacific and friendships were established.
