The New Pacific Order's Cyber Nations branch was founded on January 27, 2006 by eight Pacificans from NationStates. It has consistently been one of the largest, most powerful, and most innovative alliances in Cyber Nations, making it arguably the most influential group in the game's history.

Charter

The NPO is currently governed by its sixth charter, which it adopted in 2019.

History

Main article: History of the New Pacific Order in Cyber Nations

The New Pacific Order quickly rose to prominence in early 2006 after it fought a series of successful bilateral wars. The enmity of its defeated opponents and the reputation for belligerence the Order earned as a result of these wars contributed to the outbreak of the First Great War, in which the Order narrowly avoided defeat at the hands of a much larger coalition. Over the succeeding six months, most major alliances organized themselves into two opposing groups: the Initiative, led by NPO, and the more informal coalitions of the League and its successor, Aegis. The Initiative defeated the League and Aegis in Great Wars II and III, respectively, achieving undisputed supremacy over Planet Bob as a result.

After the conclusion of Great War III in April 2007, the Initiative slowly collapsed from infighting. This disintegration culminated in the Unjust War in late 2007, which jeopardized NPO's position as the preeminent alliance in Cyber Nations. However, NPO successfully navigated the partial destruction of its first cohort of allies, establishing several new blocs whose military might would go essentially unchallenged for over a year.

In late 2008, another schism in NPO's sphere of influence resulted in the War of the Coalition and another victory for the Order and its allies. The aftermath of the war saw a slow disintegration of NPO's position, though, as multiple foreign alliances either severed ties with NPO or established small but significant spheres of their own. Additionally, several protracted insurgencies and long-running propaganda campaigns against Pacifican supremacy had succeeded in tarnishing NPO's image abroad, providing fertile ground for a diplomatic realignment against Pacifican power.

This tinder box was ignited in April 2009 when NPO attacked a small alliance over a minor espionage dispute. That unforced error, combined with widespread anti-Pacifican sentiment, motivated a loosely-aligned coalition to unite and mobilize against NPO. The ensuing war was long, costly, and resulted in a decisive and humiliating defeat for the Order.
