Regions and terminology

Note: These are not the only regions with 'pacific' in their names. There are also regions known as simply North Pacific, South Pacific, etc.; the Northeast Pacific, the Southsouthwest Pacific; or even The Lemurian Pacific. None of these, however, have any of the characteristics that make the five regions above different from all other regions.

Often a Pacific region will be referred to in shorthand without the article "the" preceding it. For example, "South Pacific", instead of "the South Pacific", or "The South Pacific".

Pacific

There is actually a region that just goes by the name Pacific which is often mistaken for a feeder region. At the last count there were 160 nations (the highest it has been, I believe). There are likely to be several regions that are mistaken for feeder regions, but the Pacific is the region that is most likely to be targeted by recruiters or spammers. There are only a few nations who have made it their permanent home. Most come and go as they please.
