The North Pacific is one of the game's super regions, known collectively as the Pacifics, and a birth region. It has become the largest region in the world. Many inhabitants believe that it is also the coolest region in the game.

Government(s) Officials

The government of The North Pacific is currently being discussed in the referendum forum.



The North Pacific Confederation

Independent of the delegate, a constitutional government has also been directly elected by citizens of the North Pacific.

In April 2005 the following ministers took office:

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


The North Pacific Government

Independent of both the Delegate and the NPC the forum used by the North Pacific Government TNPG Forum has retained a core of members who are building a community for people within TNP who value free speech and the chance to express opposing viewpoints. 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 Flemingovians

Loyal to both the delegate and the constitutional government, the forum used by the NPF NPF Forum represents the fourth way in North Pacific politics. Central to the NPF beliefs are the two "Codices" (one for weekends, one for weekdays) which may one day form the basis of the NP government. We tend to say "poo" a lot. We value free expression, hugging in a manly way, and a sort of touchy, feely politics you do not get in any other NP forum. We just celebrated 8048 posts, at least 48 of which were gained legitimately.

Delegate History

  • Nastic has been delegate of the North Pacific with different nations several times (spring 2003, November/December 2003).
  • Treenudity took over from Nastic around the summer 2003.
  • Wilkshire held the delegacy from 16 February-15 April, 2004
  • On April 21, 2004, Blackshear was unseated ("due to someone tampering with his access to the game") [1]
  • On June 29, 2004, then-delegate UPS Rail declared allegiance to the NPO.
  • On July 28, 2004, The North Pacific was liberated from delegate Great Bight and his ALSO organization.
  • On September 8, 2004, Sydia took the Delegate position.
  • Pixiedance was elected delegate of the North Pacific on 25 October 2004.
  • On 8 January 2005 Pixiedance handed over control of her nation, and hence the delegacy, to Pierconium (Moldavi) of the People's Republic of the Pacific. This new delegate immediately suspended the constitution and declared martial law, booting 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.
  • Nearly six months later (please insert more precise date here), 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. Insane Power soon had a falling-out with Moldavi, founded a new forum, and named his new cabinet the North Pacific Government (NPG).
  • 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 - TNP natives who were non-UN at the time! This series of events have been called "The WTF of 2005" by most players.
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.
  • On the morning after, Stars of Sky gained the delegacy. She had been avoiding the update, using what many regard as questionably ethical gae tactics. She held around 250 endorsements, and moved back into the North Pacific. At present (since 0615 GMT on Friday the 27th of May), Stars of Sky is holding the delegacy, and the North Pacific looks to a hopeful, but uncertain future.
