Proscription of Pacifica Peace Keeping Force and The Levellers




Pursuant to Article V of the Charter of the Pacifica Democratic Union, we are hereby announcing proscription of the regions Pacifica Peace Keeping Force and The levellers. Any resident of Pacifica who is participating in either region must immediately inform the President and the Prime Minister, and if not granted a waiver, must cease their participation in these regions within 72 hours of this announcement's publication. Failure to do so will result in ejection and ban.

Pacifica Peace Keeping Force and The levellers were formed in opposition to Pacifica, following the ejection and ban of their Founders, Loxenia and Bovido Has, for unacceptable disruption of the regional community. Since their formation, both regions -- and especially their Founders -- have repeatedly threatened Pacifica in myriad ways, both gameside and on their Discord servers. In public on their Regional Message Boards, they have threatened Pacifica with acts of aggression, up to and including infiltration for the purpose of subversion, and even invasion. We have no doubt they are incapable of pulling any of this off on a large scale, but they have nonetheless threatened to carry out these acts on numerous occasions and we choose to take these threats at face value.

Even more egregiously, Loxenia is known to have conspired off-site with the delete-on-sight Frostwulve to harm Pacifica and her residents, while The levellers have in the recent past permitted Frostwulve's presence on their Discord server, and have tolerated Loxenia's conspiring with Frostwulve openly on their Discord server without consequence. This goes far beyond the realm of acceptable gameplay and into out-of-character danger to Pacifica, which is something we simply will not tolerate. Our residents have already been considerably harmed by Frostwulve in the past, and anyone who will tolerate his presence on their Discord server has no regard for the safety of our residents, and no regard for the safety of their own residents using their Discord server.

It should be noted that Pacifica Peace Keeping Force and The levellers have been given second chances in the past. Prior to enactment of our current Charter, both regions were given opportunities to turn over a new leaf and engage with Pacifica in good faith. Loxenia's ban was reinstated because he was discovered to have conspired with Frostwulve. Bovido Has' ban was reinstated and The levellers' embassy was closed because they were discovered to have permitted Frostwulve's presence on their Discord server. Pacifica gave these regions' leaders a chance, and what they did with that chance was conspire against us behind our backs with a dangerous individual who is not even permitted to further participate in NationStates by NationStates Moderation.

Because of this troubling history, it is clear to us no one can possibly participate in Pacifica in good faith while also participating in one of these regions. The conflict of interest that exists would be far too significant. But we have opted for this proscription above all for the safety of our residents, with certainty they will be safer if no one who chooses to participate in these regions is permitted to participate here in Pacifica. Frankly, these regions lack the maturity to ensure their own residents' safety, and we're not going to allow our residents to be exposed to the negligent and reckless behavior demonstrated by these regions' leadership. We encourage not only any of our own residents who may still be participating in Pacifica Peace Keeping Force or The levellers, but anyone who may be participating in either region, to leave and find alternative regions that will prioritize your safety.

Signed,

Cormactopia Prime
President of the Pacifica Democratic Union

Incumbent Government
President: Cormactopia Prime
Vice President: Rocky Peaks
Prime Minister: Shoalia
Minister of Culture: Toerana III
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Ayeinc
Minister of Home Affairs: Wymondham
Minister of Information: Wiskawga

Hello everyone! Time for another brief update, this time from your friendly neighborhood spiderman Pacifican PM!

Amendments to the Charter

The Charter of the Pacifica Democratic Union saw some key changes in the last few months, including the:

The Ministry Reform Amendment (Passed 35:3) which effectively dissolved the Ministry of Defense, shifting it's responsibilities to Home Affairs. It also installed the Ministry of Intelligence and Ministry of Information as more permanent fixtures in the government.

The Proscription Amendment (Passed 34:1) which gave Pacifica the right to proscribe regions for regional security. Members of a proscribed community may not cross our borders and citizens may not participate in those regions without a proper waiver from the President and Prime Minister.

The Legal Code Amendment (Passed 36:1) which allows for the creation of supplemental legislation that wouldn't suit the Charter.

Second Prime Ministerial Election and Cabinet Appointments

The Prime Ministerial Election was fairly uneventful, seeing the Incumbent Minister stand for reelection unopposed, after being nominated by various Pacificans. A vote was held simply as a formality, with only Shoalia and abstain as options.

Shoalia was reinstated as Prime Minister, securing 35 of the 39 eligible votes cast. Once in office, the cabinet from the previous end of term carried over to continue their duties.

Statement on the Relocation of the Pacifican Community




It has now been 29 days since Pacifica Founder, known to the gameplay community as Topid, ceased to exist, and in truth he has never taken an active role in the administration of Pacifica's community. After much internal deliberation, the Cabinet, joined by the Vice President, has unanimously voted for the community of Pacifica to relocate to a new region with an active Founder. I am in agreement with this decision. In order to facilitate the relocation, and pursuant to the powers granted to the Office of the President by Article II, Section 10 of the Charter of the Pacifica Democratic Union, I have declared a state of emergency. In accordance with the Charter's state of emergency provisions, the Charter has been suspended and all governmental power has been vested in the Office of the President. As a necessary security measure in this relocation process, I have imposed a password on Pacifica, known only to me, to prevent new arrivals who may endanger security or attempt to subvert this process. All of this has been done through legal and democratic processes.

Residents of Pacifica have been asked to immediately relocate to the region Thalassia without delay.

To ensure Pacifica is secured against future invasion, residents will not be permitted to remain in Pacifica long-term. One week following this notice, we will begin ejecting residents who have not relocated to Thalassia or otherwise departed the region. We hope only the ejection of inactive residents will be necessary, and we do not anticipate significant problems in this regard. No decisions have yet been made in regard to potential refounding of Pacifica. Should we reach a decision to refound Pacifica, it will be done to memorialize the region, but the community's permanent home will be Thalassia.

It has been my honor and privilege to serve as President of Pacifica and to take a leading role in its administration and government on and off for the past ten months. It will be my honor to see the region laid to rest with dignity, and to ensure the community lives on in Thalassia.

Questions from foreign officials, media representatives, or observers should be directed to Cormactopia Prime, Rocky Peaks, or Shoalia. We will also monitor this thread for publicly posed questions. Otherwise, we appreciate the non-interference of foreign entities in our internal, native-driven transition.

Signed,

Cormactopia Prime
President of the Pacifica Democratic Union

Update on this:

Topid came back today, removed the password, and had the audacity to ask me why I didn't contact him in RL. The better question is why he ceased to exist for almost two months -- for the second time, after assuring me after the last time he was on an auto-login and it would never happen again -- but thought it would be a good idea for him to come back and act like it was my responsibility to get in touch with him. So that's what's happening with Pacifica.

I look forward to seeing who raids Pacifica next time he leaves it founderless. Really glad St Abbaddon has gotten out from under his negligent thumb.

Meanwhile, though, the community that used to inhabit Pacifica is doing quite well in Thalassia. Thanks to everyone who stuck with us in terms of maintaining embassies and such. I do hope this will be a lesson for the gameplay community about trusting Topid with anything. It certainly has been for me.

^ to what Cormac said. This is the 2nd time topid has come along in the last 6 months and F'ed up a perfectly good moment for the community, last time he did it to stop the passage of a constitution that the community liked and he didn't. Now's he's come back again to try and rip apart the community once more. I've had enough, Cormac's had enough and Thalassia's had enough.

Just ignore him. He came back just to F something up, as he usually does. We're past him and his antics.

Yes, indeed. Have at it with my blessing. If it's not raiders it will just be the toxic folks like The levellers who take over, so raid on, friends.

It’s those moments when ‘I told you so’ just doesn’t cut it.

Finally some advice I can follow. :p

Topid returns at the weirdest points. I’m not surprised. Luckily, Thalassia no longer has to rely on that.

No decision had been made yet on whether to refound it. We were just planning to lock it down to secure it against invasion, for now, and we would decide whether to refound it later. Unfortunately, it's now wide open once again because he removed the password and logged out for who knows how long.

Even if we had refounded it though, what would have been wrong with that? This is someone who by his own admission is "obviously done with NS" and has "moved on with [his] life and [doesn't] find the enjoyment in it" because he "lost all interest in NS years ago". And yet what has he done? Revived the Founder, removed the password, and left the region open to the same people who have been involved in trolling and harassing it for months, so at some point he can CTE again and they can raid it and take it over completely. What was the point in that? If he's done, why did he insist on coming back and reopening the region to trolls? If I had refounded it, it would have been to prevent him from doing exactly this because I know him and I knew if he returned he would do exactly this, no matter how it affected anyone else. So yes, I wish I'd been able to refound it. I certainly wouldn't have any regrets about it.

Pacifica is going to end up refounded at some point because of Topid's negligence. He will CTE again at some point and the region will end up CTEing as well. The question now is whether it will be refounded by natives who want to save the RMB, proceed with an orderly process instead of rushing things, and give Pacifica a proper, dignified memorial, or if it will be hawked by IC enemies or OOC trolls when no one is paying attention anymore instead. The former is what we would have done if we'd decided to refound it after securing it against invasion. But the latter is what will probably happen, thanks to Topid.

Like I said, nothing new. Just nice to see a repeat of incompetence that harks back to earlier periods of incompetence. I am just petty enough to enjoy the final rattling death coughs.
