August Revolution: 11 Years of Order

We are now celebrating 11 years since the August revolution. In the time, Nationstates has under gone many changes, with the world changing year by year. As such, so too has Pacifica changed, with new faces and new approaches. But the Revolution continues. The Revolution is constant. Even now, when war brews on the horizon, The Pacific stands, and will continue to stand as a bastion of peace, strength and prosperity. We continue to advance the Revolution in every way, step by step, and we will continue to do so for as long as Nationstates continues.

The Revolution never truly ends, and we shall never stop in our quest to bring light to the dark places. There are those who think us weak, who think of us as remnants of a bygone era. They are wrong. Since the Order’s Inception there have always been people who have opposed us, who believed that we were nothing but a passing trend.

They were wrong.
They are now forgotten.
And we are still here.

There will always be periods of quiet, when it seems like the Revolution has ground to a standstill, but at those times we must not listen to naysayers or our enemies, but listen to ourselves and look for the correct path to take.
Pacificans, today, of all days, the Revolution has not stopped. The Revolution is alive, in both you and me. We represent Pacifica, one of the greatest regions in all of Nationstates, and as long as we stand together there is no enemy that can stop us, no obstacle we cannot overcome. We have demonstrated this time and time again, yet still there are those who doubt our strength, who mock the peace we have brought, and who ignore our prosperity. These people are to be ignored as we stride ever onward to a new age.

Remember, Pacifica Prevails!

Emperor Krulltopia

PEACE_zpse561649d.gif
Order through Peace, Peace through Revolution

Peace.

The concept is condemned widely in this age. We have come to equate peace with neutrality, with stagnation. We have grown to crave war, to plan for the inevitability that the forces of chaos will throw themselves upon us once more. This is the wrong mindset. This is reactionary, not revolutionary. And this is why we have lost our ideal of peace.

Can you imagine a revolution as a movement which waits for its oppressor to strike it, then attempts to rebuild itself? This is an absurd concept. This is a means to produce eternal hate and war, or the collapse of the defending force. There are no other options. A successful revolution is one which fully destroys the oppressor.

Comrade Francos Spain knew this. When the first Pacifican revolutionaries rose up against the oppression of Thedoc, they did not cease their revolution. They fought until the enemy was extirpated, until the ideal of the New Pacific Order had supplanted the old regime in the Pacific. They fought after the Pacific was calmed, when enemies of the Revolution rallied from abroad. They changed the very dynamic of their world. And only when the new establishment had become unassailable was there peace.

There is one true peace in NationStates, and that is Pax Pacifica. When we have established Order, and only when we have established Order so thoroughly that the roar of nature outside our walls has become a whimper, then we shall know peace. If we are to know peace, we must carry out our revolution. Our revolution is the spread of the light of Order. 

And when our revolution has swept away the trappings of the past- false moralists, those who hate us for hate's sake, and the petty warlords who rule this fractured world's dark corners- we shall know peace. We shall know peace when we re-assert the Pax Pacifica. And in that peace, our Order shall grow exponentially.

Now know this. There is greater dominion to be had. The Revolution does not end, as long as Pacifica lives on. The Revolution continues. You, comrades, are the Revolution. Eleven years on, you stand before the opportunity to continue to carry this Revolution to success. Cast away the oppressors, comrades! Cast them under the wheels of the Revolution! Through our zeal, we shall bring peace. Once we establish peace, all shall know Order.

Pacifica Prevails, if you carry on.

Order through Strength, Strength through Revolution

When our predecessors suffered oppression from the oligarchic forces, before the Revolution, Francos Spain gave them the light to follow. Ever since, we have taken the steep path of Pacifican self-improvement. But as Pacifica rose, it needed strength to maintain itself and ward the reaction away. When we prevailed against them, we had, and we still have, strength. But where did all the strength come from? The strength that broke the chains of oppression and that powers the ideas spawned by Francos to this day? From Franco's leadership and vision? From the sheer fury against oppression? Or from the hope for the better future? Comrades, strength comes from all of those. But these cannot give enough of it alone. What is it that gives us enough strength to set our vision in motion?

Comrades, it is the burden that creates strength. Everyday burden, that reminds us of the value of our work. That there will always be adversity. Our hope holds us in the belief it is all worth it. The leadership gives us direction we heed. And wrath? One of the less reliable but still effective sources of motivation. But these are the hardships that prepare us for mission of constant improvement. Hardships remind us that we may never stand down, that once we do, we will fall behind. And that is what the chaos waits for. That is what reaction waits for. As we develop, so do the adversities. The burden bolsters our resilience and strength, and so it makes evolution and change possible. There is no such change that does not come without effort, no such revolution that does not come without reaction. I cannot stress it enough: As we experience hardships on our way, they harden us, prepare us for the challenges ahead. And as we harden, our resolve is enhanced, so we can continue our self-improvement and keep on raising the standard. We do not shy from challenges, knowing that the level we reach for is the level we elevate ourselves towards. We value Pacifica so much that surrender is no longer an option. Excluding surrender from the options grants a tremendous power. Do you know what happens to the deer that is being hunted? When it runs, it eventually gets tired and gets ripped to shreds. But if a deer is cornered, it always stands and fights. And how often it survives then!

And shy not from knowing that such attitude is our success, comrades! From our inception, our resolve was constantly tested and refined in fire, purged from vulnerabilities.

And we still need that resolve. We always will. So long as we live. The time has come to strengthen our characters in the way that will inspire all the people who will watch. And with this inspiration, the time will soon come to spark the new, mighty vision of Order, greater than any seen before.

Without strength there can be no Order. And without order there can be no freedom. Our strength is our liberator. Our strength will bring Revolution to chaos. Our strength will fulfill the vision of Pax Pacifica. A vision of Peace, for without Strength, there is no Peace.


Through our trials, we gain Strength.
Through Strength, we gain Order.
Through Order, we achieve Peace.
And Peace, is our Revolution's mission.

Pacifica shall set the world free, as it has set us free.

PROSPERITY_zpsf5ecec08.gif
Order through Prosperity, Prosperity through Revolution

Revolution is the guiding force for Pacifica. To us it means not change for change’s sake but change for the better. We have always aimed to be better than we are, to improve on improvement. However, we must recognize that we are not entirely in the driver’s seat. The world changes continuously, and it is this fact that in turn influences everything we ever do.

The world is in constant motion, as Franco’s Star performs its ballet high up in the heavens above our humble planet. Prosperity requires excellence, which means we must excel. The only way to excel is to meet this constant change with a ballet of our own. We must forever strive to match as closely as possible the world’s march. We will never match it completely because the forces of the world are unstoppable and travel at the highest speed. Those that fare the best are those that adapt to it and attempt to match it as much as possible. For this is the survival of the fittest.

Humans thrive because we are not adapted to fixed conditions, we are adapted to change. For the world is in constant motion and being adapted to fixed conditions is as useful in the long run as being the King of Atlantis. Our Order is of this same fiber, we are adapted to change. We have survived it all and thrived because we excel, we excel at keeping pace with the change around us.

Let us not forget from where we have come; our past should bring great joy to our hearts. We have achieved much: our prosperity is virtually unmatched. We are the engineers of greatness, extracting every ounce of success from the world in motion. But it is not enough to take joy in the past; we must celebrate our present.

Reflecting on our past in the present as above is the principal means by which we can improve our future. Our future is where our vision is focused, for the future is where we make our stand, as we’ve made it in successful futures since turned to past. Our prosperity is founded upon this basic principle of endeavoring for greatness, greatness being coming as close as possible to matching the pace of change in the world. We will never reach this pace, for the pace is infinite and our efforts can only ever be finite. But despair not, as something that is finite can still reach the stars.

An IRC Update

For a few months now, The Pacific has neglected its IRC channel in Esper, #The_Pacific, in favor of a better server known from other realms. However, due to many voices clamoring for it, #The_Pacific has been once again enabled as the main point of contact for the New Pacific Order on IRC.

As usual, we maintain our "All OP All the Time" policy, hence if you would like your flags fixed, please contact The Seeker of Power via TG with your registered Esper nick to be added. Good and polite behavior is encouraged and everyone is welcome!

An Interview with Sir Paul, Member of the Revolution

Elegarth: You are perhaps the longest serving member of the New Pacific Order in its different incarnations, having been part of the actual August Revolution. In your eyes, how much has the spirit of the revolution changed through the different ages and realms we have called home?

Sir Paul: The biggest change has been a more outward facing order. After the revolution, it took a year and the realm surviving the death of Franco to convince the world we had a right to exist. When you're not constantly under siege, it changes the spirit of the people, from seeing the world as a threat to seeing it as an opportunity. That said, our goals have not changed, in that we seek peace, strength and prosperity for our member nations through order.

Elegarth: Revolution has always been a central part of this 11 years journey of order, what do you think is the main reason the revolution concept has been so successful in helping Pacificans expand Order over Chaos?

Sir Paul: Our philosophy is about accepting the material world and pragmatically advancing your objectives. We have done that from day one, and try every day to see the world as it is. I always think about my trip to Europe, where the English, Romans and Venetians litter their capitals with monuments to their gone empires, while the Swiss monuments are to commemorate their defeats: they know that if the screw up, all can be lost. The same is true of us. We also believe that no one is indispensable, remembering that if someone is more qualified at that moment, the meritocarcy requires you to step aside. It increases the odds we do what is best for the order.

Elegarth: In the last few years, the political environment has changed, and turmoil has increased. Our Revolution is hence, not ended. Do you foresee a time and place where Pacifica can finally say the Revolution has met its goals of Order, Peace and Prosperity?

Sir Paul: Entropy is always increasing. It takes work just to stay where we are. The peace, strength and prosperity of Pacifica will always be dependent on the work of her people. Continuous revolution is also eternal revolution.

Elegarth: How important was the community that made the Pacific succeed in the original August Revolution? Would you say the principles that drove you then are still here, driving us ever forward?

Sir Paul: The initial revolution was all about community, for before the order, there was none. Pacifica was a wasteland of recruiters: a way station to go someplace better. Franco was the first to say aloud that this place mattered, and those of us who agreed fought for her, and kept her as she has kept us. We still fight her, and she still fights for us.

Elegarth: Finally, not to abuse your time, is there a final message you would like to send to all our new younger players, a message that you feel we must not forget after this 11 years of Order?

Sir Paul: While we like to remember the big things, it is attention to the small things that matter. Help out your department. Have fellowship with your fellow Pacificans. Attention and action with the small is what makes an alliance great. Each of you has the power to lead an army, a nation, an alliance, but you start by leading yourself.

An Interview with Krulltopia, Emperor of the New Pacific Order

Elegarth: Krull, you are the Eighth Emperor of the New Pacific Order. You were not part of the generation that took part in the August Revolution of 2003, but you have definitely been here for a while already, with over 5 years ruling The Pacific. What is the most important trait that you think the NPO inherited from the Revolution and the members that led after it? What has remained so much a part of us that allows us to keep moving forward?

General Krull: Determination and Loyalty, these are the two main traits which keeps the Order going and Pacificans together. The former isn't something that can be learned as such, but I think it's a major trait present in those Pacificans who rise to the top of the Order, whilst loyalty is something almost infectious in the NPO. Some of our enemies have become our most celebrated and loyal heroes of the revolution, and I think that's in part due to the truth of our cause and the loyalty that Pacificans display towards each other that I see lacking in other organizations.

Elegarth: When did you join The Pacific? Did you meet many of the original members of the Revolution? Are there any you feel particularly fond of?

General Krull: I joined The Pacific in October 2004. I technically joined the month before but only as an ambassador. I met most of those involved in the revolution who had continued on to help form the PRP. I'd say I admire Sir Paul in terms of tabloids, but he's still around and might get a big head, heh! Also Unlimited (Vladimir) and Pierconium (Ivan) in no particular order, learned a lot from them.

Elegarth: In the past, the Revolution was born out of a desire to stop those leading The Pacific without regard for others, a desire for freedom and justice, let's say. What drives the Revolution now, 11 years later? What keeps the Pacifican Machine going, and expanding not only to many other realms where we have set foot?

General Krull: I think that the Revolution has changed significantly since its original inception, which of course it would have to in order to survive not only the changing environment of its birth place, but in other multiple realms as well. I think at its core is an overwhelming desire to win against the odds, to not simply survive but to triumph and reign supreme.

Elegarth: You have been Emperor, as we mentioned, for over 5 years. Probably longer than any other leader of any realm. You have led The Pacific for about half of its 11 years or order. What are the challenges you see ahead, not only for Pacificans in NS, but for the Pacifican way of life in other realms?

General Krull: It is difficult for me to predict the future, but tying into my previous answer, I think one of the main challenges is to adapt to the ever-changing environments the NPO resides in. It's also not enough for us to simply survive (which can be considered by some to be a considerable feat) but to be number one in all that we do. To do that and yet keep to the spirit of our roots is our greatest future challenge.

Elegarth: Your words are actually inspiring. We celebrate this as eleven Years of Order through Peace, Strength and Prosperity. Is there anything else you would like to add for our younger players?

General Krull: Don't be a dumb-ass! Listen to those who just want to help you!

A conversation with the New Emperor
Bird steals declaration of independence: declared delegate of The Pacific

ZMMXS5u.png
A Portrait of our Glorious leader (image courtesy of Milograd)

There are amazing scenes in Francograd as the New Pacific Order has a new Emperor.
The surprise resignation of the previous Emperor was explained by now “Senator” Krull as he staggered out of his office laden with boxes.
“Well, it was an obvious decision, to be honest” said the former Emperor, still bewildered. “This bird just came crashing through my office, having clearly survived a hawk attack, and clutching the original copy of the declaration in its beak. I could tell by the steely glint in its eye and the way it kept jumping up and down on my desk that it wanted my job….and seriously, what can I do against a bird like that?”
Indeed, the new Emperor has swiftly made his mark on The Pacific. Through a series of complicated scratchings and insistent pecks on the heads of subordinates, his Supreme Birdiness has outlined several changes:

• The Senate Chambers are now renamed “The Nest”
• Daily offerings of bread to the Emperor are now compulsory
• Any nations harbouring cats are to be banned
• War has been declared on The Black Hawks

As for those of us at the PNN, we humbly offer our services to our new avian overlord, and proudly present his first speech as Emperor:

mcmasterdonia:
Nice update. Some really well written pieces.
Don't you think the one where [OnderMode] the evil NPO try to modify your minds and wash your will by making references to Krull delegacy [/OnderMode] is quite funny? :p
