Marriage Notice For several years, Pacifica and R&R have been like that pair of friends you have who everyone is pushing to get together, but who just won't do anything. We've had the matchmaker friend (NATO) try to set us up for a long time, but we refuse to do anything despite being clearly compatible. We've flirted a bit, even had some foreplay, but neither of us has ever really sealed the deal and gone for it. There's always been another man or woman, or a reason why we shouldn't do it; either we've been seeing other people, or been drunk and respectful, or just denied our feelings existed while we knew something was going on. Eventually, the excuses ran out, and we started wondering, why not? What's keeping us? Thus it is my great pleasure to formally announce the... The happy couple has a gift registration at Liquor Depot. Please send tech in lieu of flowers.

Maestro’s Final Sing-Along Report in the 10th Year of Order My Emperor, His Honored Regent and Imperial Officers, Honored Allies, Respected Enemies, Indeterminate Neutrals, Friends, Detractors, and my fellow Pacificans: 11 years ago today, Franco made a play for control of the Pacific, and in the Five Days that shook the world, created Order from Chaos. Today, we begin the Feast of Pacific Revolution, remembering our past, examining our present, and preparing for our future. To mark the occasion, I've prepared one last sing-along for this year, inspired by the nations that have joined the Order during her 10th year.

PNN International Issue #20 "She took our money, the car, the house, but she didn't take our pens." This edition features: An Introduction to the August Revolution Musical Interlude Interview: Sir Paul Peace. Strength. Prosperity. Lies and Revolution (Poem) [hr] Prologue: Comrades and foreign Nation Rulers, today marks the end of the celebration of the August Revolution. Eleven years ago, Francos Spain began a movement that carries on to this day, a movement that has spawned many communities, both here and abroad. Today, we mark the coming of another year of Order, another year of Peace, Strength, and Prosperity, and another year in which we move ever forward. It is my supreme honour to present to the world of CN this publication in celebration of eleven years of Order, eleven years of The Pacific. o/ By Qazzian, Imperial Officer of Internal Affairs The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network [hr] An Introduction to the August Revolution Comrades! Today marks one of the most important anniversaries of Pacifica. August 28th, which saw the beginning of the Pacific as we know it. The place from which the founding principles of the New Pacific Order emerged. We do not write because we took a date and thought “Hey, let's yak about whatever this certain day!” August 28th may not seem any different from other days; it's not uniquely warm in comparison to other August days or anything. We will not write about August 28th itself, for the date itself is not what we're going to honor. We're going to honor an event that has made August 28th 2003 an unique date. An event that sparked an initiative, a community, that makes every date unique. And we're not going to yak about whatever; we're actually have something to say. We will describe one of the most vivid and resonating events of another realm. A distant world, a different world, to some of you an unknown world. But still, it is our homeland, the world where Pacifica originates from. Out there, in 2003, an unjust and cruel status quo was in effect. Two classes existed: the Feederites, nations that lived in feeder regions, where nations were being spawned, and Userites, nations that existed in user-created regions. Through manipulation, deceit, and military occupation, the Userites came to exploit feeder regions for their own profit, leaving the Feederites downtrodden and bleeding. Through cronyism and submission to foreign powers, through their complete lack of interest in Pacifica itself, they fully deserve the name of oppressors. And through being but a close circle of buddies, and being completely detached and uncaring to the populace they ruled, they fully deserve the name of occupiers. They ruled Pacifica, while not being Pacificans themselves! Look at the corruption, at the nepotism, at the sense of superiority, and the unjust mechanisms designed to exploit. If you do, then you will see all the hallmarks of the regime of the infamous Thedoc, the Userites' tyrant. Was it no noble endeavor to overthrow such evil? I assure you, it was! But even out of this injustice, good things were spawned. While the apparent success of the Userites made them slothful and lacking in attentiveness, the Feederites grew in strength and resolve under their oppression, class consciousness ever rising due to both the deceit of the Userites and Franco's secret teachings. Or should I say, Francos Spain. Francos Spain. The first Francoist. We know for sure he existed, but he is nothing short of legendary. He sparked the ideas which Pacifica runs on today. He spearheaded the Revolution. He forged Francoist teachings. Few people still with us ever talked to him. We know him to have been very humble; after giving grand speeches, he liked to approach ordinary Pacificans, without holding his position above them. Knowing what he liberated his people from, he encouraged participation of ordinary Pacificans in the government, something that is still the principle of a Francoist community. The origin of Francoism exists in recognition of two classes: the already-mentioned Userites and Feederites. The interest of Userites is to exploit the feeder regions, while the Feederites seek independence from foreign occupation. These interests conflict with one another. There was no choice but to submit or strike. Francoist thought understands this, and naturally, it commands to overthrow the Userite tyranny. In the minds of Francos Spain and the earliest Revolutionaries, the class consciousness and courage grew and spread to more and more of the Pacificans. A new ideological vanguard emerged, which assembled more and more gravitas, though having no institutional power. Soon, their heroic words and deeds would break the chains of oppression. Anyone unfamiliar with the oppression and corruption of Thedoc's regime might think the Revolution came out of nowhere. Its origins were simple. Feeling that Pacificans were fed up with the oppression and conscious enough, Francos Spain declared the old regime abolished, and swore to back his words up with the sword. The spirit of Revolution and Pacifica was a powerful and great one ever since it was conceived; more and more of the masses joined Franco's crusade. They moved so relentless and fast that no reaction could counter them. Even the armies of the old regime themselves were so disillusioned that they yielded en masse with little to no resistance, as if they were never a loyalist military in the first place. In the meantime, Thedoc's regime attempted in desperation its last concealments of its true nature; but it all led to losing everything. The first phase of Revolution and the first victory of Pacifica was complete. Conceived in oppression, developed in conflict and validated in victory, Francoism prevailed. Pacifica prevailed. The reactionaries, exiled back into user regions, were still confronting the revolutionary state from all sides, all in vain. The Pacificans knew too much of their regime to be ever fooled into returning to their yoke or yield before outright aggression. On the fifth day of the Revolution, September 1st, 2003, The New Pacific Order was founded. What was sparked five days before rose from the ashes of war and formalized its independence. No longer would anyone oppress a Pacifican. Francos Spain became the new Delegate of the Pacific, holding supreme power in the Pacific Region, where the new era of Peace, Strength and Prosperity emerged. The light of Pacifica shines on. The Revolution sparked more than just a freedom from oppression back then; it sparked the initiative that lives on. This initiative is our community, comrades! This initiative is what has since dominated this world, just as it once shook the world in those five days! This initiative is the idea of the just and active society, one where the betterment of the community is the betterment of yourself. The Revolution is never complete. It always strives to change, to improve things. And there will always be reaction to change. There will never be a shortage of enemies of the Revolution. Let they be purged by our will, as Franco's will purged away the oppressive old regime. We see how great is our camaraderie, we see our strength and prosperity: is it all not worth defending? How many people are happy enough to be called defenders of Pacifica! They, who bled for Pacifica, truly know the value of her; they were threatened to be forced to part with her, and suffered to stand with Pacifica and her ideals. Ideals of comradeship, meritocracy and self-improvement. Ideals of Peace, Strength and Prosperity. Today we will recall the first time the oligarchic filth was punished for its atrocities. We will recall the foundation and consolidation of all that this alliance stands for. We will recall our origins, our roots; something we ought never stray away from. Francoism commands that we never maintain the institution that is not in the best interest of us, that much is true. But our roots lie in Francoism itself. And it does serve us best. As Pacifica prevailed at the August Revolution, so does it today. This celebration honors all the Pacificans who contributed to the dream of a Francoist world. It is done in your honor, as much as in honor of Francos Spain and all who participated in this Revolution. Where Pacifica became our shelter and our weapon. By Khandov The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network [hr] Musical Interlude Y11.T1.01 - eleven By Sir Paul The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network [hr] Interview: Sir Paul A familiar face and a familiar voice, to all, our third interviewee for this August Revolution release is Sir Paul, our beloved Maestro. He has been here since the Revolution itself, and his service to the Order is unmatched. We promise he will sing as well, but his prose is no less relevant. Elegarth: You are perhaps the longest serving member of the New Pacific Order, having been part of the actual August Revolution in another realm. In your eyes, how much has the spirit of the revolution changed through the different ages and realms we have called home? Sir Paul: The biggest change has been a more outward facing order. After the revolution, it took a year and the realm surviving the death of Franco to convince the world we had a right to exist. When you're not constantly under siege, it changes the spirit of the people, from seeing the world as a threat to seeing it as an opportunity. That said, our goals have not changed, in that we seek peace, strength and prosperity for our member nations through order. Elegarth: Francoism has always been a central part of this 11 years' journey of order. What do you think is the main reason Francoism has been so successful in helping Pacificans expand Order over Chaos? Sir Paul: Francoism is about accepting the material world and pragmatically advancing your objectives. We have done that from day one, and try every day to see the world as it is. I always think about my trip to Europe, where the English, Romans and Venetians litter their capitals with monuments to their gone empires, while the Swiss monuments are to commemorate their defeats: they know that if the screw up, all can be lost. The same is true of us, if we practice Francoism. We also believe that no one is indispensable, remembering that if someone is more qualified at that moment, Francoism requires you to step aside. It increases the odds we do what is best for the order. Elegarth: In the last few years, the political environment in CN has changed, and turmoil has increased. Our Revolution is hence, not ended. Do you foresee a time and place where Pacifica can finally say the Revolution has met its goals of Order, Peace and Prosperity? Sir Paul: Entropy is always increasing. It takes work just to stay where we are. The peace, strength and prosperity of Pacifica will always be dependent on the work of her people. Continuous revolution is also eternal revolution. Elegarth: How important was the community that made the Pacific succeed in the original August Revolution? Would you say the principles that drove you then are still here, driving us ever forward? Sir Paul: The initial revolution was all about community, for before the order, there was none. Pacifica was a wasteland of recruiters: a way station to go someplace better. Franco was the first to say aloud that this place mattered, and those of us who agreed fought for her, and kept her as she has kept us. We still fight for her, and she still fights for us. Elegarth: Finally, not to abuse your time, is there a final message you would like to send to all our new younger players, a message that you feel we must not forget after these eleven years of Order? Sir Paul: While we like to remember the big things, it is attention to the small things that matter. Keep your aid and trade slots full. Vote for our senators. Be wise with your investments. Help out your department. Have fellowship with your fellow Pacificans. Attention and action with the small is what makes an alliance great. Finally, I want you, if you still have it, to go find your ruck sack from basic training at the Academy. Inside you'll find that heavy rod we made you carry around. Look closer, and you'll find it's a general's baton. Each of you has the power to lead an army, a nation, an alliance, but you start by leading yourself. By Elegarth The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network [hr] Peace. Strength. Prosperity. “Peace is the only battle worth waging” (Albert Camus) Chaos. Our world is filled with it. Others revel in it, thrive on it, and call it normal. Peace through order and discipline is the way of Pacifica. Our journey to peace often times finds us on the opposite side of the spectrum, in conflict with those seeking chaos. When we must struggle through the obstacles to that goal we are forced to adapt, to improve and to excel further than we thought. Peace is a fragile state and there will always be forces that try to take it from us. Sitting in a state of peace has led to our overconfidence in the past. That is a mistake that we must remember and strive to never repeat. For eleven years we have used our military prowess, our economic skill and our political savvy to achieve our goals. We have seen a Pax Pacifica in the past and we allowed ourselves to grow complacent. Remember our past, learn from it and achieve better. We are the Order and we will always stand firm and triumph. By Brennan, Imperial Officer of Internal Affairs The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” (Mahatma Gandhi) Weakness is a foreign concept to a Pacifican. Weakness is what others are, what lesser people are. No, Pacificans are strong. The most important thing to understand, though, is that we're strong not because we're the best, or the smartest, or have the most useful tools at our disposal - though all those things are true. No, Pacificans are strong because they are never alone. Pacificans are strong because of their comrades, their brothers and sisters, who are always beside them in times of peace and in times of war. We are strong because we are united. We are strong because our bonds of camaraderie tie us together. We are strong because we do not let our fellows fall. And, it is because we are strong that I will forever say: Pacifica prevails! By Farrin, Imperator Emeritus The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network “Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.” (Aeschylus) It is sometimes easy to lose sight of our ultimate goal as Pacificans. Amidst all the squabbles and the challenges of chaos, amidst the setbacks and challenges to our Order, we can forget why we have a culture of meritocracy, and why we unite our strength within an ordered autocracy. This goal is seeking an ever greater perfection of our potential and our being - moving towards the infinite Pacifican Prosperity. It is for this reason that we seek to re-evaluate and improve every process - even when it is not broken. It is for this reason that "good enough" is never enough, and the mediocre are pushed to perfection. To be a Pacifican is to be on an unstoppable roller coaster toward the ideal of prosperity; an ideal we might stop traveling toward, but nevertheless one that comprises a journey which every day leaves us as better beings. By Letum, Emperor The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly part of the Pacific News Network [hr] Lies and Revolution (Poem) In a region built on lies And one man on top, One must rise To bring it to a stop. The man who was The man who came The man whose name was Francos Spain. Lies fed on plates From a puppet regime In order to silence the fates From those whom they deem. The movement was swift The movement was fast The movement would be one to last. It started small, With a nod Like a call, From the gods. The mass rose As the place crumbled, The rationalizations hit new lows As the region tumbled. Pacificans rose, Their blood began to boil, At the people who feigned To be loyal. And they came swift They came fast And they would make their impact last. The delegacy was open, Franco saw, As the revolutionaries were hopin’, This would end it all. The regime had more ideas, As the revolutionaries saw, And hoping to expose their fear, By ending it all. The revolutionists continued to rise, From the darkness of night, Discovering the lies, Oh what a sight! And like that it was done, In the blink of an eye, The delegacy was won And the lies would die. And with the revolt done And the lies drowned The NPO decided to have more fun, “Let’s go to Cyber Nations!” the rumors sound. And a new home was built, One with Order There was no guilt As they built the border. And Franco lives still With what he has done “We are a city upon a hill.” The Revolution was won.

The recent outbreak of conflict between III Percent and [insert name of one-man AA here] has laid bare a longstanding problem within our community, a story of misused rights and wantonly exercised power that has spanned the existence of Bob itself, damaging the very firmaments of the world and leaving many unwilling or unable to assert their agency over the events of this plane. Too often have we seen individuals take to the OWF and mercilessly abuse that which cannot fight back; today, we announce our refusal to stand silently and watch this maltreatment continue. This is an injustice up with which we shall not put.

The Oracle of Delphi pronounced a great meeting between Atlas and the New Pacific Order. At this meeting, a series of feasts were decided upon celebrating their friendship. Both alliances are proud to add the following feast days to both of their calendars: Atlas and the New Pacific Order agree to communicate and respect one another's sovereignty. Official channels are to be used and every possible attempt will be made to discuss and resolve issues privately. Both parties also agree to remain cordial at all times and refrain from harming one another. Both parties also agree to never allow there to be a shortage of wine at any gathering. Should either party find information that may be useful to the other party, or information that can cause harm to the other party, than it shall be each alliance's duty to report and relay that information to the other alliance with speed that would put Hermes to shame. Just like Athena, Atlas and the New Pacific Order are skilled in the art of war and strategy. Both alliances agree to come to the military and economic defense of one should it be necessary. Each alliance shall hold a shield, spear, and be ready to assist one another. Should conflicting chains get in the way of this treaty, military assistance is rendered optional. In the chaos of war, either alliance may request the other to join it in aggressive actions. Each alliance shall consider the option of this, but it shall not be required that they join in. In the off chance that this relationship is found to be no longer salvageable, than either party may terminate this treaty within 72 hours notice in private. After that 72 period has elapsed, this treaty shall be property of Hades, Lord of the Underworld.

Dateline (Justicia, Lawyeria) -- Back in 2008, things looks bleak for Orville Reginbacher, not to be confused with Orville Redenbacher, and his popcorn company located in United Ohio Counties. "I wasn't getting any sleep. There were too many things competing for my time, and I was unable to continue to lead this great company owned nation, United Ohio Counties," says Orville Reginbacher, owner and inventor of the "popcorn" patent and former leader of United Ohio Counties. "There was just too much pressure, I had to let something go, so I ran off without so much as a note." United Ohio Counties faded out of existence. Since 2008, when Orville disappeared overnight, no one had heard from Orville. That all changed in 2011. In November of 2011, Orville was sailing around one of the many oceans of Planet Bob when he noticed something odd. According to Orville, "there was a lot of hot air rising from the sea floor, and it was interfering with my sailing." Intrigued, Orville dove to the sea floor where he encountered what some would refer to as "a good start." There on the floor were over 8,000 lawyers from a previously unheard of country of Lawyeria. "I couldn't just leave them there, I had to help," said Orville. After saving all of the lawyers from the sea, and helping them rebuild their country, Orville was elected "monarch for life" over his newly dried countrymen on March 12, 2014. With his whereabouts no longer a secret, and his life back in order, Orville gladly accepted this position. "I'm back, and it feels so good. Buy my popcorn." -

In the last Global Analysis segment, we broke down the primary political philosophies of this world, but encountered some confusion from our viewers. Why are some democracies like TOP so efficient, and others stagnant and lacking in dynamic? Why are some autocratic regimes also democratic, while others are simple dictatorships? After recently speaking with both a friend in TOP, and a friend in NPO, I will provide you with the answer why, by illustrating the accountability of these governments and sharing my own experience with NSO. I will also explain why terms like "efficient democracy" and "democratic autocracy" are not always self-contradictory terms, and why Order always prevails. The Order of the Paradox: Democratic Accountability None can doubt the capability and efficiency of the Order of the Paradox. For a long time, this ability confused even myself: How can a democracy expect to succeed when by definition it does not completely remove itself from the state of nature? In reality, however, the democracy of TOP was not designed to check the power of the sovereign, but rather, to hold it accountable. A careful analysis of Paradox reveals its democratic experiment was not shaped around an irrational fear of centralized power, as so many democracies are. Indeed, within Paradoxia King Feanor has reigned for many years. Paradoxia's Order implemented a democratic institution to maintain accountability of the leadership. After all, the absolute duty of any alliance sovereign is to defend and advance the interests of the Nations. With a strict selection process and an institution designed to advance the power and glory of the Order, Paradoxia has become a beacon and example of true democracy for all democratically oriented alliances to aspire to. Instead of resisting Order, Paradoxia has embraced it, and adopted democratic accountability to ever march gloriously into the future. The New Pacific Order: Autocratic Democracy At it's peak, the New Pacific Order established the Hegemony, a monumental achievement which brought Pacifican philosophy to the global scale and established global stability that lasted years. Through Francoism, power and glory was expressed scientifically via written word. But in it's early days, Pacifica was no mere dictatorship that served the whims of the leader. Comrade Vladimir reformed the Praetorian Guard to preserve the ideological purity of the Order. [ooc]The name of the Guard was no accident: the Roman Praetorians were known to assassinate their emperors from time to time.[/ooc] The mission of the Praetorian Guard is to protect the New Pacific Order and the Pacifican way of life from those who would choose to harm the alliance, either intentionally or unintentionally. In the glory days, the Praetorian Guard served as a handpicked ideological inner party of the Order, maintaining a powerful grip over both the membership and the higher offices. Should an Emperor turn from Francoism and the Order, it was the responsibility of the Praetorian Guard to organize his overthrow. Unfortunately, the Mad Emperor Revenge, also called Moo-Cows, weakened the Praetorian Guard. When a leader of the Praetorian Guard, Al Kassad, made his stand against the Mad Emperor, he was thrown from the alliance and accused of spying for Vox Populi. Ivan Moldavi also made his stand, attempting to sieze power during the Moldavi Rebellion, but was defeated. Those who remained did so out of loyalty to the Order, but with the Mad Emperor's power left unchecked, he plunged the Order into destruction and the Hegemony finally fell. Emperor Cortath did his best to salvage the situation, but those who followed him never understood the importance of accountability and the Praetorian Guard, and to this day the Order has never fully recovered. The New Sith Order: Rule of the Strongest In 2009 Ivan Moldavi returned to establish the New Sith Order, and as Count da Silva, I was the fifth nation to join. With the failure of Pacifica, Ivan sought to establish a new Order that embodied many the ideals of the old Body Republic, with a healthy system of accountability. He established a system that allowed Sith to rise to power in meritocracy, and to allow democratic challenges that could remove a weak leader from power. Since I was the strongest ideological voice of the Sith, and with my experience in the Imperial Assault Alliance, Ivan appointed me to replicate the Praetorian Guard within the NSO. To this end, I founded the Bureau of Internal Security, a secular body with the same mission as Pacifica's Guard: to hold both the leadership and the membership accountable to the interests of the Order. This was done in the same manner: a handpicked, ideologically pure inner-party with a powerful network of Sith that acted as a secret police force. [ooc]Unfortunately, due to real life circumstances I went inactive (as did Ivan), and never returned.[/ooc] Recently, Rayvon revealed that he himself had dismantled the Security Bureau and had thrown Ivan Moldavi from the alliance years ago, resulting in a loss of accountability and absolute power held in his hands. With the Bureau gone, Rayvon proceeded on a path that has led to the NSO's situation today.

Maestro’s Sixth Sing-Along War Report for the War of the Orders My Emperor, His Honored Regent and Imperial Officers, Honored Allies, Respected Enemies, Indeterminate Neutrals, Friends, Detractors, and my fellow Pacificans: It's a new trimester in the Pacifican Calendar, and I've been trying to think of the reasons why this conflict has continued after all of the stated objectives of the Gang of Eight for this war have been achieved. There must be a deeper reason why Polaris insists on this continued conflict. This report is an investigation of that reason. By the way, I miss you too, but this isn't healthy.

It is an investigation of the motivations of the participants, results on the populous, and other existential questions. Quite frankly: How can one stay alive with all of the ennui in this universe, especially when a high-ranking Pacifican can enter peace-mode at will during a major hegemonic conflict? Where are the men full of vinegar who never would have let that happen?

Oceania is a part of the New Pacific Order. Oceania has always been a part of the New Pacific Order. People of Bob, I write to you today to inform you that Oceania will be merging into the New Pacific Order. We've had a good run here at OCN, starting off as a small alliance with a handful of friends from Tournament Edition and growing at one point to over fifty members with tens of thousands of nation strength.Nevertheless, our membership has fallen somewhat of late and we have decided that rather than continue going it alone, we will be better off joining up with our good friends over at NPO. The NPO are a great bunch of people who we have had the pleasure of being allied with for most of our existence, and we are really excited to join them! ts been a good ride. I want to thank our allies at Invicta, Avalanche, TORN and House Baratheon, as well as everyone else who stopped by and helped out. o/ Oceania o/ Big Brother o/ NPO o/ Past Allies As a special bonus to commemorate the final days of OCN, Big Brother has graciously decided to raise the choco rations from 20 grams to 10 grams! /s/ Big Brother Inner Party: Mikey Inner Party: Stelios

Hello, cyber verse, I would like to announce my recent entry into the cyber-forums. The reason for this is that I would like to use this blog as a method of spreading my and others ideals and thoughts on the current events happening in cybernations. But before I do that I would like to answer a question. The reason my nation's name is Pangea, is because it is a slightly different spelling of the word Pangaea, which in case you didn't know was a supercontinent that existed (please avoid religious argument here) a very long time ago. My nations name is meant to represent my attempts to become as one (in a metaphorical sense of course) with other nations. Well, that sums it up, I hope to post more blog posts later on.
