It means "Deeds, not words". It sounds like irony for a man of action like me to seek a seat on the Court, a place famous for its exotic excitement, but I am, indeed, running for Justice. I have no pretty graphics or grand proclamations to offer all of you this time, just my practical views and...

10 Region Tag Run 22 January 2025 I have enjoyed a nice retirement so far as a former Delegate, basking in the warm sun and enjoying the beauty of the great castles of Carcassonne. But a part of me has always longed for adventure and excitement, so when Minister of Defense @Comfed invited me to...

Farewell Address 11 January 2025 I am retiring from TNP. Four months ago, our region was in a bad shape. The Ministries suffered from activity problems, our foreign policy was a mess, and the Delegate had a penchant for scandals. Fortunately, he did not seek a second term and more competent...

Picairn for Delegate! Mobilis in mobili. Translated as “Moving within a moving element”, “Moving within motion” or—my favourite version—“Changing with change”, it was the motto of Captain Nemo’s Nautilus submarine, in Jules Verne’s classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas. To me...

New Minister of Foreign Affairs 15 November 2024 Citizens of The North Pacific, As some of you may have known, @Chipoli has resigned from his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is a tough and difficult job, one that requires a lot of effort, commitment, and steadiness, especially in...

All in a hard day's work... My dear North Pacificans, Today marks the completion of the first month of my Delegacy, and I wish to present a comprehensive report to the region on what we have achieved, what progress we have made, and where we are heading next. At the start of the term, our...

Surgeon General Appointment for Z-Day 2024 14 October 2024 Once more, the hordes of the undead are coming to our region, seeking to cause chaos and mayhem. A terrible plague is soon to be upon us, and to prepare ourselves in the fight against the zombies, I have enlisted the help of TNP's most...

Closing Address 19 September 2024 What a term this has been. There is never a dull moment serving as Minister of Defence. Tag raids, invasions, defences, and liberations, you are always moving around, your mind on alert for any major military developments, ready to act at a moment's notice...

Dismissal of Comfed as Chief of Staff 10 September 2024 Since announcing that he would take a break from all Ministerial positions, Comfed has remained unresponsive to all of my private messages. As a result, I have no choice but to dismiss him as Chief of Staff and remove him from High Command...

This is perhaps the boldest enterprise I have ever attempted, so be it. For The North Pacific, charge! Hello, my name is Picairn and I’m running to be your Delegate. I originally spawned in TWP but migrated to TNP in April 2020 out of love for its vibrant community. Shortly after, I became a...

Joint Wargames with the ERN 25 August 2024 At last Saturday minor and this Sunday major (24 -25 August), the NPA conducted a series of joint military exercises with the ERN to train our troops on tagging and chasing skills. Not only did we hone our R/D skills further from these wargames but we...

Reforms to the Officer Corps 19 August 2024 Since taking up the office of Minister of Defense in May, I have noticed a concerning symptom of inactivity within the NPA's officer corps. Almost all of its military activity, its operations, leadership and management were primarily spearheaded by...

9-Region Tag Run 11 August 2024 It's been a while since I led my last tag run, but today is the day. Despite some mishaps at the beginning, we successfully tagged 9 regions at major update this Sunday. I would like to commend Sergeant Caius and our newly-returned Corporal Inven for their fast...

Some New Ribbons To Get Us Going 4 August 2024 From the finest works of Picairn's Creative Department™, the Ministry of Defense is proud to present a series of new ribbons to encourage our officers to more actively lead operations and mentor new soldiers on vital R/D skills. I hereby introduce...

Confederation of Corrupt Dictators (and Elba Island) 28 July 2024 Citizens and residents of The North Pacific, As many of you may have known, the Confederation of Corrupt Dictators was once infamous for its status as a safe haven for fascism and its direct attempt to infiltrate our region...

Midterm Address 14 July 2024 Citizens and residents of The North Pacific, When I first took up the post of Minister of Defense on the 12th of May, I was filled in equal parts with excitement and trepidation. While my head was full of ideas on how to improve the NPA to new heights, a part of me...

Notice of Absence 7 July 2024 Due to real-life circumstances, I will be absent as Minister of Defense next week from July 8th to July 14th, 2024. I am going away to a summer camp and won't be available to perform my duties. With the consent of Delegate @Simone, General @9003 is hereby...

Minister @Skaraborg, I hereby resign my position as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs. This is not a full departure from the Ministry, of course. I will still be able to help as a staffer, albeit with reduced activity. I love working for the betterment of TNP, but there's only so much I can do...

The Wellspring 17 June 2024 Shortly before minor update on May 19th, 2024, the NPA was rapidly mobilised and deployed to The Wellspring to help defend it from a potential raid. For almost a month since then, our soldiers vigilantly stood watch and deterred the enemy from attacking the region...

Sunday Major Detag 16 June 2024 At major update on Sunday, June 16th, the NPA concluded our Detag Week™ by detagging 13 regions in total. Despite a few mishaps here and there, the run was quite successful as we see more regions cleared of BoM et al.'s tags. I look forward to doing more of these...

NPA Open Up! Warzone Trinidad 13 June 2024 *insert le funny gif here* At major update on Sunday, June 9th, the NPA assembled a crack team of updaters to invade Warzone Trinidad. Using camouflage and stealth, our initial raid was highly successful as we achieved complete surprise and banjected...

Warzone The North Pacific 5 June 2024 This region caught my attention some time ago due to its name. Upon discovering that its founder and a lone resident CTE'd a couple of hours before minor update on June 5th - leaving WZTNP completely devoid of nations - I quickly seized the opportunity to...

Operation Solar Storm II Return of the Northern Lights 2 June 2024 Haven't you heard? The Northern lights are predicted to return this week as solar activity flares up once again, which I took as a good omen to continue with Operation Solar Storm. At this major update on June 2nd, I led our NPA...
