A ''Pacific'' region is commonly referred to as any one of the six gigantic regions of nationstates with 'Pacific' in its name. All Pacifics are [[feeder region|feeder regions]] and are often called 'super regions' because of their enormous size (each region has over six thousand nations). None has a founder.

What makes Pacific regions most unique from all other regions is the fact that they are known as the "birth" regions, because every nation in the game is created within one of those six regions.

It is commonly held wisdom that the Pacific regions are [[game-controlled regions]] because they were all created by the game admin. This is actually incorrect. Some of the Pacifics ([[the East Pacific]] for example) were founded by normal players and converted by the admin into game regions later.
