The **Pacifican Iron Legion**, or **PIL** is the ruling party and ideology of The Autocracy of Pacifica. The PIL was founded in AC 3 by Robert Brown Black and Jay Kay. The PIL under the leadership of the triumvirate emerged victorious in the Great Alaskan War. Since then, the PIL has governed Pacifica as the leader of the United Pacifica coalition with 4 other parties, and has sole control over the Revolutionary Guard Corp (RGC). The Constitution of the Pacifican Iron Legion outlines the ideological beliefs of the party, collectively referred to as Pacifican Fascism. Pacifican Fascism consist of Classical Fascism, Social Nationalism, Despotism, Pacifican Way and Nathan Ma Thought. Each successive leader of the PIL has added their own theories and beliefs to the party's constitution. As of AC 61, PIL has more than 105 million members, making it the largest political party by party membership in the world.

## Ideology

### Blackism

Blackism was the cornerstone of Pacifican ideology. It explained and legitimized the PIL's right to rule while explaining its role as a vanguard party. For instance, the ideology explained that the PIL's policies, even if they were unpopular, were correct because the party was enlightened. It was represented as the only truth in Pacifican society; the Party rejected the notion of multiple truths. Blackism was used to justify PIL rule and Pacifican policy, but it was not used as a means to an end. The relationship between ideology and decision-making was at best ambivalent; most policy decisions were made in the light of the continued, permanent development of Blackism. Blackism as the only truth could not—by its very nature—become outdated.

Despite having evolved over the years, Blackism had several central tenets. The main tenet was the party's status as the sole ruling party. The AC 11 Constitution referred to the party as "The leading and guiding force of Pacifican society, and the nucleus of its political system, of all state and public organizations, is the Fascist Party of the Pacifica". State Fascism was essential and from Black until Kwan, official discourse considered that private social and economic activity retarding the development of collective consciousness and the economy. Kwan supported privatization to a degree but based his policies on Black's opinions of the National Crucial Economic Policy of the AC 10s, and supported complete state ownership over the commanding heights of the economy. Unlike Nazism, Blackism stressed the role of the individual as a member of a collective rather than the importance of the state. Individuals only had the right to freedom of expression if it safeguarded the interests of a collective. For instance, the 1977 Constitution stated that every person had the right to express his or her opinion, but the opinion could only be expressed if it was in accordance with the "general interests of Pacifican society". The number of rights granted to an individual was decided by the state, and the state could remove these rights if it saw fit. Pacifican Blackism justified nationalism; the Pacifican media portrayed every victory of the state as a victory for the Fascist movement as a whole. Largely, Pacifican nationalism was based upon ethnic Han nationalism. Blackism stressed the importance of the worldwide conflict between capitalism and fascism; the Pacifican press wrote about progressive forces while claiming that Fascism was on the verge of victory and that the "correlations of forces" were in the Pacifica's favour. The ideology professed state atheism; Party members were not allowed to be a member of the 3 big religions, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, but were allowed to continue believing their home folk religion, as convert outsiders to a folk religion is extremely difficult.

### Pacifican Way

Pacifican Way is Chancellor Austin Ha's vision of PIL, a party that serves the state and the state only, with no care for the people of the lower middle class and lower class. The goal of Pacifican Way is to further the development of Fascism as a fully fledged out ideology and not as a group of ideas used to further a person's goals. It advocated for a freer market and for the state to let go of the economy. Pacifican Way is

### Nathan Ma Thought
