This week in the Pacific is marked primarily by change in the Foreign Office. The embassies of
The East Pacific, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The West Pacific and
The New Meritocracy have been turned over to the control of
The Holy Ordo Hereticus, the NPO's elite, political police force.
Among the duties of the
Ordo Hereticus, is enforcing anti-spam ordinances pertaining to both the NPO forums and The Pacific RMB, resulting in the ejection and banning of several notorious Userite Spammers from both The Pacific and even Nationstates. It is the Ordo's belief that the Feederite Regional RMB should be the tool of the Region, not a "want ads" for Userite Regions. Members of a Feederite Region have an ADMIN-given right to surpress spam and use the RMB for their own ends, be it getting new nations to join the Regional Forums, or simple discussion. It should create rules to govern the RMB and nominate nations to enforce them.
The ambassador appointments are as follows:
•
Krulltopia has been appointed ambassador to The East Pacific.
•
Senator Karpathos has been appointed ambassador to The North Pacific.
•
Triggerhappistan has been appointed ambassador to The South Pacific.
•
Emperor Jake has been appointed Tambassador to the West Pacific.
•
Senator Darkesia has been appointed ambassador to The New Meritocracy.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT:
In a surprise move,
Emperor Jake has regretfully declined the appointment due to circumstances beyond his control. There is much speculation as to whom Emperor Bovinus I will choose as a replacement.
Elsewhere in The Pacific power structure, Emperor Bovinus I has made the following appointments:
•
Chosen Men has been appointed Senator of the Faith and Pacifican Indoctrination.
•
New Kervoskia has been appointed Senator of Economic Machinations and Statistical Manipulations.
•
Gaspo has been appointed Senator of Military Maneuvering and Special Projects.
Economically, The Pacific has revitalized its
Prosperity District under the guidance of
Senator New Kervoskia. Several new businesses involving the full spectrum of service-oriented companies have sprung up, from infrastructure services like utilities to specialty shops. Additionally, a huge building project is underway. Here is Senator New Kervoskia's announcement:
"The Council of Imperial Markets and the Imperial Bank of The Pacific proudly announces the largest public works project commissioned in the Prosperity District. We are calling upon all entrepreneurs, artists, architects, engineers, and all other interested parties to design and construct Pacifica’s capital city and administrative center. Contracts are limited and awarded on the basis of affordability and ability to complete the job with the utmost excellence and efficiency. There will be time constraints. Architects will be given two weeks to design a building and engineers will have one week to construct it."
Bidding has been fierce and construction continues.

EXTRA! EXTRA!
Emperor Bovinus I has decreed that RMB violations shall now result in the immediate ejection and banning of the offending Userite nation. No warnings will be given. While the previous policy has led to shorter advertisments and increased Region member discussion in the RMB, the Emperor has decreed a zero-tolerance policy to Userite spammers who violate the RMB laws. The Ordo has moved to enforce this new decree with a blood-thirsty vengeance. Because of these tactics, the Pacific Delegate's name is whispered among many Feederites to be Emperor Bovinus the Butcher.
