The People's Republic of the Pacific or PRP was the government of the Pacific from 1 September 2004 to 12 April 2006. It was established to continue the August Revolution started by Francos Spain and the New Pacific Order.

Government of the PRP

The Pacific has a rich and vibrant government that is responsible for the large amount of security that the Region experiences. The previous government, the New Pacific Order, survived four major attacks and several subversion attempts, and the constant warfare and siege mentality dictated an authoritarian regime. Since the signing of several non-aggression pacts and joining the Union of Sovereigns, the NPO transformed into the People's Republic, and promised to institute democratic reforms and create a vibrant community.

The Palace of the People

The Palace is the gathering place for the citizens and government officials to discuss the governance of the region. All laws are posted in the palace, and frank and open discussion is encouraged. The Palace is the the heart of the Pacific Government, as it is here that the people's voices are heard.

The Delegate

The delegate is appointed by the senate, and technically, is a senator himself. The delegate is the vanguard of the revolution, and is the embodiment of the PRP. It is the duty of the delegate to uphold the Judicial code and to execute the laws set forth by the senate and assembly of governors. The current delegate is Unlimited.

The Senate

The senate is appointed by the current members of the senate, and they are chosen on merit and loyalty to the Pacific. Each senator is a department head (much like a cabinet) and together, the senate is responsible for security and foreign policy.

Senator of Delegacy Mammothistan: The delegate shall be the advance guard of the Revolution and protector of the realm. The delegate shall be in charge of all business in the senate shall have the power of pardon.

Senator of Administration Warrior Thorin: The Senator shall maintain forum decorum, forum maintenance, be a liaison to the Governors and the Ministers and support their efforts with the full power of the Senate.

Senator of Intelligence Unlimited: The Senator shall head the Pacific Bureau of Intelligence. The Senator shall protect the Republic, investigate threats, and work with our allies and friends. The Senator shall be the co-director of the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN).

Senator of Diplomacy BlackAdder goes Forth: The Senator shall be the chief diplomat and head the diplomatic corp. The Senator shall negotiate treaties and maintain the embassies.

Senator of Media Affairs Sir Paul: The Senator shall head the Pacific News Network and shall be the official spokesperson for the Republic.

Senator of Justice Pierconium: The Senator shall head the Department of Justice, and be the final word of jurisprudence in the Pacific. Shall maintain the offices of the JAG and the Public Defenders.

Senator of Security Doppelganger: The Senator shall protect the realm from domestic threats, processing background checks, and keeping the Republic secure. The senator shall head the Praetorian Guard, and is co-director of the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN).

Senator of Economics The New Duce: The Senator shall oversee the industrialization of the Pacific and ensure that the fruits of the People’s Labors go toward the betterment of Pacific Society and are not siphoned away by Userites.

The Assembly

The Republic shall have four provinces, which shall be drawn by the Senate and the Assembly to be roughly equal in size. Each province shall be charged with maintaining one ministry of government. Each province shall send two representatives to the Assembly: the Governor of the Province and the Minister who shall head said provinces’ ministry. All ministers and governors stand for election every four months.

Formerly, The Pacific had the Assembly of Governors, but with the passage of the Republic Reform Act of 2005 (October 15, 2005) the internal government was restructured. The purpose of the restructuring to was to specialize the provinces so that people may interact more.

The Assembly represents the interests of the people. It has empowered itself to elect a President and is charged to run the day-to-day requirements of its ministries and provincial governments.

The Provincial Governments

The running and structure of each province is up to the duly elected governor, but there are some positions that are mandated by the senate. All other duties and positions are up to the governor to create and implement.

Governor: Elected every three months by the citizenry of the province, the governor represents his people at the AoG and serves his constituents needs. Each governor is responsible for roughly 1000 nations, and appoints and creates the government that will serve them.

Vice-Governor: Takes over the governor's duties during absence and helps run the province.

District Attorney: Prosecutes all judicial code violators in the province.

The Praetorian Guard: While not governor appointed, these men and women are responsible for the incredible amount of security that exists in the region. They achieve this rank by successfully prosecuting violators of the judicial code. Their ranks are Praetorians (25 convictions), the Centurions (100 convictions), and the Prefects (250 convictions).

Pacific Life

The Pacific Forums are where the Republic exists, and the vibrant culture of the Pacific citizens shines through their text as they live by the motto of The Pacific, "Peace, Strength, Prosperity."

Ministry of Culture

Governor Sarda is the Minister of Culture, and is responsible for the cultural events and civic projects of the Pacific. The ministry maintains the people's puppets, Francos Navarre, Francos Aragon, and Francos Grenada. Here, the citizens vote on the issues to see what government-type the region would have if it were a NationStates nation. The ministry also holds sporting events, such as baseball, F1 racing, and hockey. The Pacific gallery of art and the Pacific chronicles (the history of the region) are kept in the ministry. There are also tentative plans for opening a university.

The following are a few of the current projects of the Ministry of Culture:

The Pacific Historical Society This division of the Ministry focuses on the preservation of Pacific cultural and historical documents, and endeavours to maintain it's own similar documents.

The Pacific Gallery of Art Maintained by Deng Xixian, the Gallery of Art is the foremost outlet of regional art works and government propoganda in the Pacific.

The Cartographer's Office Led by the Pacific's Chief Cartographer, John Ashcroft Land, the Cartographer's Office maintains the Pacific's regional map.

The Pacific Olympiad Headed directly by the Minister of Culture, the Pacific Olympiad administrates the Pacific's annual olympics held on August 28th, and manages the host selection process.

Pacific News Network

PNN has evolved from tabloids on the old New Pacific Order Forums to an inter-regional news service, broadcasting in every Pacific and occasionally in The Meritocracy. PNN has six main media outlets: The Pacific Press and the five tabloid services. The Pacific Press is the legitimate news service of the Pacific, reporting on various inter-regional and intra-regional events. The Tabloid Services, on the other hand, are whimsical farces, reporting satire in half-truths with a comic twist. The following is the orginization of PNN:
