OOC General Information

Free Pacific States is a major nation, both OOCly and ICly, in The East Pacific. He has resided there since his creation several years ago, served as Grand Vizier and EPIA Head, attended the Constitutional Convention, and currently serves as the RP Administrator and as a Barrister.

IC General Information

The Federated Alliance of Free Pacific States is a major power in the East Pacific Region. Although known for it's nuetrality and peaceful nature, FPS has recently begun to take on a more 'assertive' approach to international affairs. Currently, it is led by Matthew Dupree of the Centrist Party, who believes in compromise and cool-headedness in relation to all policies.

OOC History

FPS was originally spawned sometime in late 2002 or early 2003. Probably the latter. After about a month, it went inactive for a few months, returning to activity in the fall of 2003. After a short stint on the NS Main Forums, FPS abandoned them (dismayed at the new Jolt setup) for the East Pacific Forums.

• There, he quickly became a major regional member, within a month being given the position of RP Moderator. Soon afterwards, he became director of the EPIA, a position he would resign from in 2005. FPS would be the creator and a major member of the EP Constitutional Convention, though he would be of the last of the major EPers of the time to sign the document (due to concerns in relation to government power).

• After the creation of the new government, FPS was made Grand Vizier of the East Pacific, putting him as the second in charge behind Loop. Soon after, he would take on the position of EP Court Barrister, a position he still holds today. In the fall of 2005, FPS would be given the position of RP Administrator, a position he also still holds today.

• In March of 2006, FPS would end his EP Political Career by resigning from the position of Grand Vizier, citing as reason his belief that he had violated the charter by supporting the banning of Govindia. Unnoficially, he would later unnoficially state that he had partially resigned due to his lack of interest in being Delegate (to which the Grand Vizier is the #1 successor).

IC History (Until 1998)

FPS appeared in it's first form in 1926 as the Alliance of Free Pacific States. Made up of seven peace-wanting nations that had just endured a decade long conflict with each other, the alliance was originally created as UN-like organization in order to regulate international relations between the seven states.

As time went on, however, the alliance slowly developed into more (more as a reuslt of the nations' becoming closer to one another then to a trust in the strength of the alliance itself). By 1938, the alliance had become a NATO-esque organization, though it took minimal international action.

In 1939, the invasion of the Alliance of Free Pacific States by imperalist troops of 1 Infinite Loop brought the alliance to it's knees, as the small alliance armies, and the armies of each of the member-states, were quickly defeated. The navies never stood a chance in the first place. In 1946, the remaining forces of the seven nations agreed to combine into one entity: The Federated Alliance of Free Pacific States...on a temporary basis, until 1IL was fought off.

More as a result of the opening of a second front on 1IL by the Lizards, but also partially as a result of the combination, FPS was able to fight off 1IL, though it took nearly a decade. At the end of this time, however, things did not return to their pre-war status as planned. Instead, the people of the seven nations voted to continue on with their current government, creating a new, better constitution, and electing the first FPS Government.

Between the 1960s and 1990s, FPS was primarily isolationist, taking little international action, due to it's need to recover from the war (which had deeply damaged the nation, especially economically). In 1998, Preisdent Matthew Terrus brought FPS into the international sphere, begining the second era of the Free Pacific States.
