[b][size=3]Coordinator's Address[/size][/b][/center] As a coordinator, I often have to coordinate things. With that interesting factoid being kept in mind, I'd like to now address an issue that been plaguing me for quite some time; how stupidly hard it is to come up with these introductions every issue. I could come out and say "this is the best issue ever of any publication CN has ever seen!" and it would be true, but that's always true. I could come out and say "no animals were harmed in the creating of this issue of PNN International" but that wouldn't be true. I could potentially state that there this issue will not cause cancer, but we're still waiting to hear back from the lab on that one. So, in summary, a coordinator is one who coordinates.

The choice of name for the new bloc is interesting. According to mythology, Pandora's box was used to explain the source of evil in the world . In the myth, the box was opened and all the evil escaped. After their release, the box was quickly shut by the frightened Pandora trapping [i]hope[/i] inside. If this new bloc is an accurate representation of the myth, are these six alliances the source of evil on our fair planet? Furthermore, what hope is still trapped in that box to save us from this evil? ....Only time will tell. Reactions to the creation of the bloc were mixed. Some praised those involved in its creation, while others were quick to shout their ill remarks. Some even questioned what brought these six alliances together to create Pandora's Box as they do not seem to have anything in common. Pandora's Box has hit the world stage (read: one of the worst kept secrets in Planet Bob) and the actions of the bloc will be watched closely. Will the unity of these alliance change the political landscape and warp the foreign affairs of big and small alliances alike? The alliances of Pandora's Box....the spot light is on you.

Oh, real original![/size][/b][/center] [center][IMG]http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq339/t47msg/burmaaid.jpg[/IMG] A shipment of Project DeathStar Aid arrives in the war devastated New Sith Order Capital[/center] Once again Pacifica has shown the world her dedication to her friends and allies. The friend in this case being the New Sith Order. On August 8, the NSO after aiding a member who was raiding a member of the TENE, had war declared on it by Ragnarok, Viridian Entente, R&R, and GOD. This conflict, known as the [url="http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Six_Million_Dollar_War"]Six Million Dollar War[/url] saw the NSO going down to a bitter defeat. According to sources, the NSO lost over half their NS. However, they paid out damage in kind. To the credit of the NSO, they refused to bring their allies into the war, and prevented a global escalation. They weathered the storm almost alone. However as Sith lands were razed, homes and business ruthlessly destroyed, and brave NSO soldiers died on the battle field, Pacifica made her promise, as She knew too the bitter scourge of war. Lady Pacifica reached out and promised our brothers and sisters in the NSO that she would help them rebuild. She was willing to shed Her blood and sweat to help restore her allies to their former position. On August 24, when the NSO surrendered to their enemies and admitted fault in starting the war, our Comrades at the Pacific Bank swung into action and announced Project DeathStar, a massive undertaking designed to rebuild the NSO bigger and badder next to a small moon of Endor. Pacifica has sent almost 700 million in aid funds to their allies in the NSO. Written by galw708 The Pacific Press - A jackboot on the pulse of world events. Proudly Part of PNN [size=3][b][center]The Princess has been found![/size][/b][/center] [center][img]http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1259/supermariok.jpg[/img] Not pictured: a princess.[/center] In a stunning development it was proclaimed that the Princess was indeed in the castle this resulted in utter chaos and panic in the Realm of the Shrooms. When our fungus friends finally sat down to figure out what this meant it was clear that the only result of this discovery was to cut all paper ties with the outside world for fear that the madness would spread to their allies. King Archon made a state speech a few days ago laying out their plans to raise the drawbridge and reassess the direction of the Mushroom Kingdom. This announcement was prompted by the leaks that had happened earlier regarding the Complaints and Grievances bloc. There are several members from the CnG bloc that have expressed disbelief and shock at the Kingdom's move to leave, while others have sworn to protect them even if there is no paper involved. All those alliances swearing to stand by MK in light of their recent actions has prompted critics to ask what the motive that is behind them staying. Are they hoping that by staying they will be invited back into the MK Co-Prosperity Sphere? Or are they actually standing by their friends? Now everyone is asking themselves what happens from here. Will CnG fall apart and who will those shrooms entrust the secret of the Princess with in the future. You never know you may see a future piece of paper with the words "The Sectumsempra Treaty".

Proudly Part of PNN [center][size=3][b]Pacifica Celebrates Some Stuff[/b][/size] [img]http://www.neilhallphotography.com/p7lsm_img_15/fullsize/Salute_fs.jpg[/img][/center] On [b]September 13, 2010[/b], Pacifica celebrated its historic [b]Day of Dedication[/b]. For a period of one day of dedication, the New Pacific Order celebrated the life and contributions of founder Francos Spain. In order to properly recognize the day, Media officials fearlessly ordered several underlings to dig through the old Pacific Press archives back to September 13, 2004, and see what sort of un-researched and ill-informed articles we were printing way back then. Their result of our query was as follows: [center][URL=http://img815.imageshack.us/i/thepacificpress6.jpg/][IMG]http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/633/thepacificpress6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] A readable version is available through the magical wonders of clicking the image[/center] Media Lorekeeper Vengashii has the following description of the holiday in his records, but I caught him drinking gasoline mixed with Smirnoff Ice last week, so he's probably as extremely dumb as always. Anyways: [i]"The Day of Dedication commemorates the day that Francos Spain fell defending the Order during the !@#$%* Great Patriotic War (2004). His sacrifice allowed Pacifica to be victorious days later and ushered in the Era of the People's Republic. We remember Franco, and those who carried on to fulfill his dream."[/i] Additionally, on [b]September 29, 2010[/b], Pacifican citizens turned out for mandatory enjoyment of our [b]Day of Dominance[/b]. It is this day, in particular - though we celebrate it on a slightly lesser level every single moment of every single day ever - that is set aside for recognizing how Pacifica has been a focal point of the Planet for more than four years and continues to serve as a model for the rest of the world. Our very own possibly-perpetually-drunk Vengashii had this description of the day; [i]"the day's celebrations center around activities worthy of the current Emperor. Under the reign of Dilber, clubbing, booze and sax contests were popular. Under Ivan, public executions and formal ball room dancing was practiced. Under TrotskysRevenge, American Football, milkshakes, and BBQ is how the populace honored the anthropomorphic Divine Bovine Overlord. Under the current Emperor Blackbird, chuckling, bird watching, and contemplating the written works of Francoism are highly encouraged. (As well as tea drinking)"[/i] And so we celebrated our day with thoughtfully and methodically sipping tea whilst keeping pinky fingers a safe distance away from the mug containing the aforementioned tea. This action was carried out whilst also discussing Francoism, Vladimir, and the basic pros and cons of the economic ramifications of applied socialism. And we kept an eye out for any birds that might have flown by. But the important things were the tea-drinkings and the socio-economic-discussings.

FARK, together with the Atlantic Shadow Confederation and the Random Insanity Alliance, originally founded the Superfriends bloc on September 7, 2007. The bloc would later expand its ranks to include the Global Order of Darkness, Ragnarok, R&R, Monos Archein, and the Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations. It is unfortunate to see one of the original founders to decide to leave the bloc. With this in mind we at the New Pacific Order wish to extend a helping hand by joining forces with our friends to save this planet from certain destruction. We are ready to stand shield to shield with you, our new friends. [img]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/8049/nposf.png[/img] In addition to having our shield all drawn up, we have also taken the liberty of picking out our official Super Friends Character, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Tornado"]the Red Tornado[/url]. The Red Tornado and the New Pacific Order have many things in common. The first being that we enjoy the color red. Next, we both share superhuman strength and the uncanny ability to survive any attack. Finally, the Red Tornado often felt on the outside and not considered a full member of the team, we expect those same feelings with the SuperFriends crew. The match is perfect! So, Members of Superfriends, we ask that when you are ready to fill the gap that currently is in your ranks, you look towards your friends on the red sphere, The New Pacific Order a.k.a the Red Tornado.

October upon us once again... and so does the day when our peacefully resting loved ones become role models of determination and perseverance as they claw their lifeless and decaying bodies to the surface world. This news bulletin from the Pacific News Network is here to remind [i]all[/i] Pacificans to dig out and refresh their minds on how to prepare for the annual Zombie Apocalypse!

As a testament to how serious the Order takes the undead threat, the [url=http://pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=39535]Imperial Regent[/url] herself has published the Official Zombie Survival Guide, compiled by fellow survivors. [center][img]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2227/cleverbox.jpg[/img] Pictured left to right: Mary, Cortath[/center] [u]Top 5 Rules[/u] [quote]1. Never investigate strange noises. Just go in the opposite direction. Especially if that strange sound is a blood-curdling scream. 2. Always have more than one firearm in case of misfire or running out of ammunition. Having a close-combat weapon is useful for those moments when you don't have time to reload, switch guns, or run out of ammo for both. Murphey's Law: If it can go wrong, it will. (This also means do NOT, under any circumstances, say "It can't get any worse.") 3. Be ready for all fighting scenarios (see above). 4. Be supplied. Non-perishable food, water, Tylenol. When the end of the world comes, I doubt anyone'll track you down for not paying for the stuff you get from a handy deserted store. 5. Never fight if you can run. Coward you may be, but a smart, living coward you will be.[/quote] This very journalist has himself contributed to zombocalypse discussion by [url=http://pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=60283]wondering whether zombies can swim or not[/url] - a very useful fact to know if you live on an island or near a port. Experienced and crazy survivor Arcades057 recommends the [url=http://www.equipped.org/fm21-76.htm]United States Army Survival Manual[/url]. It contains nineteen chapters and several appendixes on how to appropriately survive in various conditions that you might find yourself as a result of the zombocalypse (other than the zombies themselves.) Lastly, we also recommend picking up [url=http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781400050802]the Zombie Survival Guide[/url] by Max Brooks, the world's foremost expert on the zombocalypse.

Also a funny read on you guys joining SF in place of FARK. A bit surprised you guys didn't cover MK's WAE contest though. Other than that, it was still an enjoyable read as usual.
