Regarding recent events in Lazarus
First, to those that will instantly spout that this is just propaganda, you are correct. This is propaganda. That is the nature of political announcements, welcome to NS reality. Now, with that out of the way...
This statement is designed simply to clarify a few points of fact that have been misconstrued or otherwise misrepresented by certain parties here and elsewhere in the Nation States world.
To state that the New Pacific Order as a political entity is wholly innocent in the turmoil of the last couple of weeks would be untrue, and I will not attempt to say so today. To state that all fault lies within the hands of former-Senator and ex-Regent Feux would be equally untrue, so again, I will not attempt to say so today. While some have attempted to turn this into a scapegoating routine, that is not what is happening here. Feux is not a scapegoat for the New Pacific Order in regards to what has occurred in Lazarus. Feux made some mistakes and yes, ultimately the plans he laid out faltered and failed, and just to be clear, this is why he was removed as Regent. Political blunders have consequences. This has been true in The Pacific for generations and other Senators have been rehabilitated and gone on to lead the region after periods of disgrace and humiliation. Feux subsequently has resigned the Senate, but not the NPO. His nation was removed from the WA because outside forces were plotting to endorse his nation in attempts to disrupt our selected way of life, something that reeks of hypocrisy at its finest.
Further, in regards to A mean old man and his claims to reinstatement into the Pacific Senate, I state again that this was untrue. At no point was AMOM reinstated into the Pacific Senate. At no point did he have access to NPO governmental forums. What seems to have occurred, depending upon who you ask, is that AMOM saw an opportunity to impress himself into the current situation as it developed because of RL ties to certain parties involved. Feux may have offered a reinstatement, again, depending upon who you ask, but this was subsequently shifted into an appointment into the NLO Senate, which was not in any way, shape, or form speaking for the NPO at any time. Further, AMOM's association with forum breaker 94 block was disavowed at the earliest stages by the Emperor of the NPO and the offending nation was banned from the forums. The NPO has held no association with this nation, regardless of what the NLO may have decided to do independently of us.
So, to the matter at hand. The NPO assisted in the founding of the PRL and subsequently supported the NLO after the independent actions of the Lazarus leadership in removing Funkadelia et al. In hindsight, backing the impulsive horse was probably not the best course of action in this situation. Compounding it further by incorporating the Lazarene Senate into the NPO boards was quite clearly an error in judgement. For that, and that alone, the NPO apologizes to the people of Lazarus. For our part, we wish the new government in Lazarus well.
We do not apologize for assisting a troubled region in setting up a stable government at their request. We do not apologize for sharing our culture with others in the hopes that they can find the peace and tranquility that we have experienced in The Pacific for over a decade. But, we do not condone the forced incorporation of our ideals upon the other GCRs. If any individual member of the NPO has made such a claim, they speak from their own point of view and not the point of view of the Emperor or Senate as a whole.
To those regions that believe this is an opportunity to seek political isolation of The Pacific for your own gains, you are not the first and likely will not be the last to attempt to do so. Personally, I believe this to be an opportunity for a strengthening of relations between The Pacific and the other GCRs, but do as you will. We will survive. We always do.
Thank you.
