{{{Rstatsbox}}}

The West Pacific exists as a super region of the game,and also one of five birth regions, known collectively as the Pacifics. It is known as one of the freest and most politically stable regions, especially among the Pacific regions. The region is a constitutional democracy. There are no elections to reach the legislature...all you must do is reach the consitutional requirements. Offices, cavinet positions, and the delegacy are on their independant 3-month election cycle. Below is a long list of the governmental offices and their current holders.

Delegate History

Delegate elections are currently held every three months in The West Pacific forums

• The Federation of Commercial Affairs - Invader nation from the Atlantic Central Command, that even though became Delegate for the wrong reasons, became one of the greatest Delegates ever.

• The Free Republic of Norion – Norion deposed the former dictator by use of guerrilla action in which many nations were banned. During office he survived three separate elections from SLR, Erlad & Darlin and though received allegations of abuse of power was the first to establish a constitution and introduce ministers, he was in office for about one year.

• The Rightly Guided Republic of Berhampore - Won a very hotly contested election between himself, Norion, MVS (Kurdazistan) and Gosstoepia, which was marked by allegations of NPO spies and ADN interference. Berhampore's first act was to disband the previous Constitution and work on a new one which came into force on the 30 of June 2004 after ConCom II ( see: West Pacific Slang ).

• The United Commonwealth of Biteland - Due to a game glitch gained the delegacy for 2 days, in which he was quite sane, and allowed the regualar government to continue. Previously he had been regent, which shows that the system of having a trustable 2nd in command works. Berhampore re-gained the delegacy shortly afterward.

• The Rightly Guided Republic of Berhampore - Regained Delgacy after the glitch and was voted in for anouther term by the council of the West Pacific

• The Peaceful Society of Lake Lanier (Lanier) - Gained the Delgacy after Berhampore suddenly resigned from teh Delgacy.

West Pacific Governmental History

CEO of Provisional government - Prime Minister

• Lanier – Lanier was a patriot and one of the most liked players ever to grace the game called NationStates. He was also the Chair of the second Constitution Convention. After a long Absence Lanier has returned to the game of NationStates.

- Changed to Prime Minister -

• Minineenee - The first Prime Minister of the West Pacific. So far Ninee ( see West Pacific Slang ) has had an impeccable record within the regional both pre and post her ascension by vote to the Top Role. Her enthusiasm and genuine warmth has been a cornerstone for the region through times of heightened tensions. She appointed Zetaone as her Deputy.

Vice Delegate/ Regent

• Darlin - She came a close 2nd in the second last election so Norion created the position of Vice Delegate which could have a high endorsement level than most players and could move into the top position if something happened to the delegate. Darlin's term in Office was a short one as mods kicked her out of the UN for apparent rule infringements.
• MVS( Kurdazistan ) - he was Darlin's replacement and was appointed by Norion. Other than ruffling a few feathers with his sometime abrupt stile of leadership MVS's time in office was generally a positive one with his leadership of House Absolute as the new law body in the West Pacific. When it came time for the next election this all changed. MVS reveled he was Kurdazistan which led, to what he described as a witch hunt against Kurd's past involvement with the NPO. this led to the ADN unofficially interfering with sovereign election when they supported Norion in endorsements after MVS had pulled in front. When Berhampore was elected MVS and Kurdazistan were ejected but after a few days were allowed back into The West Pacific after petitions by many members of the public and government.

- Changed to Regent -

• Biteland – Placed into this position by Berhampore because he was his running mate in the last election. BIteland was The west Pacific's first Regent under the new consistiotion. His time in this position was less controversial than the last two Vice Delegates. During his time BIteland fostered community pride and was effectually dubbed Mr. Plan B ( see West Pacific Slang ) . Biteland Filled in for Berhampore during the UN Glitch and though tempted he did not Banject ( see West Pacific Slang ) those annoying players within the Region. BIteland stepped down from the position to find a more active role within the Government.
• Guilder Channel - The newly appointed Regent of the West Pacific. A well liked and trusted member of the region Guilder Channel's appointment by Berhampore was received warmly by the region.

• Gosstoepia - One of the longest serving Ministers, Gosstoepia has overseen 4 separate elections as well as being a prominent member and moderator of the Off-Site Forums as well as a all around nice guy.

- Changed to Speaker of the Council -

He quickly appointed Freedom and Pride to the deputy speaker position, and since then, both have been working as a team. Gosstoepia lost a re-election bid to Ossie Ostrich. Goss was loved by some and ridiculed for periods of inactivity by others. However, the msot important laws in the Council;s laws were passed under his and Freedom and Pride's watch.

Regional Awards

West Pacific Order of Freedom

• Mars University - A combative, opinionated, brash, insulting but for all that a brave and freedom loving nation fought back. He founded the Team Advantage forum - an unheard of idea! An 'alternate' forum to the official regional forums? Had that even been done before? It was a great idea and showed that the fight was not hopeless, that freedom of expression, freedom of speech WAS still a part of the West Pacific ideal. In recognition of the work, of the bravery, of the independent thought in defense of freedom of this nation, I, Berhampore, Delegate of the region of the West Pacific, do hereby grant the nation of Mars University an Award of the Order of Freedom. Aude sapere! Dare to Be Wise!

• Lanier - There is little else I can say that many, many other nations have not already said about Lanier. His intelligence, wit and sheer energy recreated the West Pacific into the dynamic society it is today. In recognition of the indispensable courage and wisdom he had demonstrated, I, Berhampore, Delegate of the region of the West Pacific, do hereby grant the nation of Lanier an Award of the Order of Freedom. Aude sapere! Dare to Be Wise!
