The North Pacific enjoys a democratic, constitutional government, which is directly elected by Registered voters of the region. The Constitution can be viewed here.

In November 2005 the following ministers, and other government officials, took office, and form the current government:



  • Minister of Internal Affairs and Immigration: Deikura
    • Deputy: TBA
  • Minister of Arts and Entertainment: Democratic Donkeys
    • Deputy: TBA
  • Minister of Communications: WishyWashyWonder
    • Deputy: TBA

  • Minister of Defense: Heft
    • Deputy: TBA
  • Minister of External Affairs: GoalVA
    • Deputy: TBA
  • Minister of Culture and Education: Honeysheep
    • Deputy: TBA




The Region also has a legislative arm of government formed by a number of Registered Voters (as well as the Regional Assembly), who can vote in elections, propose new laws, serve in juries during trials, and run for office. More information can be found on the official forum at this topic

Political Parties

The North Pacific Guardians - TNPG

Independent of both the Delegate and the Regional Government, the forum previously used by the North Pacific Government has retained a core of members who are building a community for people within TNP who claim to value free speech and the chance to express opposing viewpoints. Now, renamed The North Pacific Guardians, the forum members are highly interested in the political affairs of TNP but are also intent on creating a real community space within TNP for those who wish to follow 'The Third Way'.

The North Pacific Reform Party - TNPRP

The North Pacific Reform Party believes that the current constitution needs work. A lot of work. They are committed to work with the government and courts to change things that need to be changed to protect individual nation's rights and freedoms as citizens.

The Civil Progressive Party - CPP

On leaving TNPG (see below) Poltsamaa formed in September 2005 the CPP, dedicated to protecting the rights of all citizens of The North Pacific and seeking changes to the contitution that they believe will improve the way the North Pacific operates.

The Teddy Bear's Alliance Government - Teebag

A third force in TNP politics, Teebag believes in, amongst other things, free honey for all and the election of officials by Salmon catching contest. All types of bear are welcome, especially fluffy ones. This party exists mainly to promote pro-bear civil rights within the region.

History

On 8 January 2005 Pixiedance handed over control of her nation, and hence the delegacy, to Pierconium (Borogravia Moldavi) of the People's Republic of the Pacific. This new delegate immediately suspended the constitution and declared martial law, ejecting and banning the nation placed second in the region in endorsements (Better Times, aka Free4All). Later that week, Pierconium restored the nation to Pixiedance's control at her request. The constitution was restored to full effect.

On 18th January Pixiedance herself declared a state of emergency and suspended the constitution. She also dissolved the region's alliance with the A.L.L., which had become increasingly confused since the A.L.L. refused to recognise the Delegate/Government as being able to act on behalf of the region. Two days later, she gave her nation once again to Pierconium/Moldavi.

As soon as this change of delegacy was confirmed, The Underground arose in the region, a resistance movement based at the region's original forum The Underground later changed its name to The North Pacific Confederation, and became the home of a revitalised Constitutional government from the region.

Nearly six months later , Moldavi returned the nation Pixiedance to its original owner Cathyy, who immediately passed it on to Insane Power, a high-ranking Directorate member and at that time Minister of External Affairs in the NPD. In turn, Cathyy received IP's nation Insane Legends to avoid having one player control two UN nations. Moldavi objected to the passing of Pixiedance and sripped Root Admins status on his forum from the then Delegate, Insane Power. Moldavi had agreed this and non-forum interference as part of the handing back of Pixiedance.

In response to TNP yet again being held to ransom by a forum owner Insane Power created a new forum and continued with his planned founding of a new government known as The North Pacific Governent(TNPG) and named his new cabinet the North Pacific Government (NPG). This Government took many steps towards what had been demanded by members of the region under the NPD but there were those who were determined that they and they alone should hold power and were not prepared to even consider the party system for TNP politics proposed by Insane Power.

On 26th of May 2005, history was again written in the North Pacific as Insane Power resigned Pixiedance from the United Nations, leaving TNP without a delegate. Insane Legends (then second in the endorsement ranking) was immediately resigned also, thus creating what can only be termed a power vacuum as the endorsement cap had long prevented any other nation from coming close in endorsements. The day until the next update was marked by vigorous endorsement and undendorsement campaigns, mostly supporting one or the other of the nations Thel DRan and Lungwallabad, who were the most likely successors. Below are the top contenders ranked by endorsement at that time (hours before the update):

lungwallabad 150
thel_dran 149
hersfold 118
novare_res 117
flemingovia 109
fortress_prussia 109
leonardo_da_vinci 105
haor_chall 103
Notably, Insane Power still held the Regional Controls, and used this power to endorse Thel DRan in the World Factbook Entry, as well as ejecting several active contenders, among them Leonardo Da Vinci and Stars of Sky. Mere seconds before the update, he ejected Lungwallabad (then holding the most endorsements), perhaps to ensure a victory of Thel DRan. However, this was too late, and Lung became delegate at the same time. He unbanned himself and cleared the banlist, ejecting Cathyy and Poltsamaa. This day, as Lungwallabad became delegate, marked the first time since 25th of October 2004 that a nation other than Pixiedance held the regional delegacy.

The following day Stars of Sky gained the delegacy from Lungwallabad. She had been avoiding the update, in a practice known as update surfing. She held around 250 endorsements, and moved back into the North Pacific.

In June/July 2005 a New Constitution was adopted for the North Pacific, and the Forum known affectionately as "S2" or "Old Blue" was confirmed as the official forum of the region, continuing a tradition begun in 2003. Government and delegate elections followed, and a peaceful transfer of the delegacy followed. The state of emergency that had existed in the region for some months was finally at an end.

In August 2005 the following ministers, and other government officials, took office and served until November 2005:
