Government history of the New Pacific Order in NationStates
This page displays the government history of the New Pacific Order, with the majority of defunct positions not shown.
Emperor/Empress
The Emperor or Empress is the sovereign of the New Pacific Order. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor/Empress also serves as delegate of the Pacific.
While the term "Emperor" was used before 2006, it was not widely used. Unlimited and Mammothistan were known as Senator of the Delegacy in the People's Republic of the Pacific. Francos Spain, Unlimited, and Mammothistan have been retroactively granted the title of Emperor.

Notes
- ↑ While other nations controlled the Delegacy for some period, Francos Spain is considered the leader this entire time.
- ↑ While Francos Spain took the Delegacy on August 28, 2003, the New Pacific Order was not official declared until August 31, 2003
- ↑ Poskrebyshev retained the Delegacy between July 11, 2004, and August 8, 2004, but is not recognized as Emperor during this time.
- ↑ Unlimited lost the delegacy in mid-July, but formally resigned on August 31, 2005. Updates from the Republic, Sir Paul, July 22, 2005
- ↑ Although Unlimited took the Delegacy from January 5, 2006 to March 6, 2006, Mammothistan remained Senator of the Delegacy. PRP forum post Sir Paul, January 18, 2006
- ↑ BlackAdder took the role of "Premier" on March 4, 2006. For at least some portion of time between March 4, 2006, and April 21, 2006, BlackAdder's nation was controlled by Ivan Moldavi. The Senate was dissolved on April 11, 2006, when Ivan Moldavi (as BlackAdder) ejected certain Senators, including Mammothistan. BlackAdder returned to refound the New Pacific Order on April 21, 2006, leading to the return of some, but not all, Senators.
- ↑ Zhdanov was a spy seeking to overthrow Francos Spain. [1]Forum post, Daedalus, February 4, 2006
- ↑ During the People's Republic of the Pacific, the Delegacy was a Senator position, not Emperor. Unlimited thus served as a Senator continuously throughout his time as Delegate (later redesignated as Emperor)
- ↑ BlackAdder briefly stepped down in April 2005, but was reappointed. The date of his reappointment is unknown. Resignation, BlackAdder, April 11, 2005
- ↑ Based on Internet Archive, Haor Chall was a citizen of The North Pacific as of December 21, 2008.
