**Pacifica**, officially known as **The Autocracy of Pacifica** or in Chinese the **Pacifican Federation** (Chinese/Cantonese: **太平洋聯邦**) is a large transcontinental country that surrounds the Ring of Fire, located mostly on the shore of the Pacific ocean, hence the name. The country is divided into 24 districts, which are split up into 69 smaller states. The capital of the country is Hong Kong Bay, which is its largest city as well. The capital of the country is Hong Kong Bay, which is its largest city as well. Pacifica is bordered by the Indian Commune, North American Federation, Eurasian Union, Chinese State, Commonwealth United Government and the Republic of South America.

The large, well-organised government prioritises Defence and Law & Order, although Administration and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hong Kong Bay. The average income tax rate is 18%.

Pacifica is a highly developed country, and its economy accounts for approximately a quarter of global GDP and is the world's largest by GDP at market exchange rates. By value, Pacifica is the world's largest exporter and third-largest importer of goods. It holds over 60% of the total wealth in the world, the largest share held by any country. Making up more than a third of global military spending, it is the foremost military power in the world and a leading political, cultural, and scientific force.

## **History**

When the veil broke in AC 1, and brought with it every leader and monarch of UN member states, Hong Kong fell into disarray much like the outside world. The Guangzhou PLA garrison teamed up with the British and soon formed a rouge breakaway state from the two countries it was breaking away from. In AC 3, They chose Robert Brown Black as leader, and declared himself President of the Republic of Pacifica. Not long after in AC 6, he declared himself Chancellor of the newly found autocracy, The Autocracy of Pacifica. He was widely popular and with his influence in Singapore and Malaya, he annex these territories into Pacifica in AC 7. When the United Kingdom and Republic of France lost contact with their colonies in the Pacific, the Pacifican Army just marches into those territories and claim that they are under protection of Pacifica.

### Republican Era

A republic was soon formed under the leadership of Robert Brown Black. The republic was a rump state of British Hong Kong, as it at the time only controlled Hong Kong and and Guangzhou. Despite only controlling a small island, it successfully annexed British Malaya via forging a telegram stating that the British Government has sent Tamar that all British Asia-Pacific colonies need to unite under leadership from Hong Kong until further notice.

### **Intervention in North America**

During the collapse of the United States and Canada in AC 9 due to civil war and the rise of extremist ideologies in the new governments found in North America, Alaska was left in the open, in competition with the newly formed North American Condederation, a loose pact of nations that united to reunite America under a more moderate ideology, Pacifica took Anchorage and Juneau, then consolidating their Alaskan claim. The North American Confederation protested, but without out a proper standing army, their opinions did not matter, as quote Pacifican Foreign Minister Edmund Teesdale:"The mighty dragon does not care for the opinion of small mice and paper tigers." They then moved south striking a deal with North America to suppress the newly formed Pacific States of America, a far-right country in direct competition with both Pacifica and North America spanning from the Rockies to San Francisco. In the deal, Pacifica will take everything east of Utah and Idaho, while America gets the rest. When the KKK in the south rose up and attempted to secede from America, Pacifica fought against the KKK and helped America stabilise the region.

### Mexican Civil War

Mexico has been in a volatile situation since America collapsed, with no restrictions, the regions became plagued by coups and powerful cartels. When the Pacifican Army moved south from their recent war with California, the Mexican people embraced them, and Pacifica seeing high levels of support with the locals after getting rid of the cartel state in the western coast, officially made a referendum with the locals about their annexation, in one of their only unrigged annexation referendum, the people overwhelmingly voted yes, surprising legislatures back home. But the peace didn't last long, with the United Cartels of Mexico, a new terrorist organisation massacaring

### African Expansion

*Main Article: Grand African War*

Following a wave of decolonization and revolts in east Africa, several new independent states were established. Pacifica wanted to establish a foothold in Africa to compete with other European powers and have more control over the Indian sea. A bunch of armies landed and created a settlement. The Pacifican army dismantled these news states and established control over the region. However, the locals reacted strongly and launched a revolt against this new threat. They attacked any Pacificans and launched regular raids into any small settlements. They destroyed the supply lines and forced the Pacificans into cities. The Pacifcan army could not stamp down on the revolts and were outmatched on the unfamiliar terrain. more and more troops defected and fled the African theatre. When the leading general died to malaria, everyone was afraid to take control and the army was leaderless. The Africans drove the Pacificans out of most regions and forced them to flee. Pacifica decided that this endeavour was pointless and they could have more successful campaigns elsewhere, they transferred the land tot eh African Union in exchanged for concessions and it being an ally of Pacifica.

### Arabian War

*Main Article: Arabian War*

During the AC 20s, Pacifica wanted to control and monopolies the world's oil supply. They decided to establish a foothold in Arabia and extract resources from there. They supported the local Saudi Arabia to help them win a civil war and conquer more oil for them. However, the agreement broke down when Saudi Arabia seized all assets and nationalized the oil economy. Pacifica reacted to this strongly and sent an entire army to deal with Saudi Arabia. However, these soldiers are not trained for desert warfare and many succumbed to the diseases of the desert and died in the harsh climate. The Arabians also used guerrilla warfare to cut off most of the supply lines and the Pacifican army is stranded deep into the desert. Despite their best efforts, the Pacifcan army still took Riyadh and several other major cities. However, Persia decided to join the war and entire Muslim world rallied against Pacifica. The Pacifican navy fled from the Arabian sea and left the army stuck. The Arabians managed to regain most of the lost lands and the Pacificans are forced to route. Nearby states like Britain also supported the Arabians for cheaper oil prices and drove the Pacificans away. The Pacifican armies fled Arabia and the Arabian Union was formed. The failure of the Pacifican army in this engagement as well as in the next few wars signaled a turn in the Pacifican government using diplomatic pressure to achieve their goal, getting themselves the nickname the "Blanks", and using the army as border and riot control.

### Steppe Nomadic wars of the AC 20s

Eurasia and Pacifica always fought for control over the central Asian region. China claims Kirghizistan and Tajikistan as a rightful part of their territories while Eurasian Union wanted to re-establish old soviet borders. As a Chinese ally. Pacifican organised the Uzbeks and launched a revolt against he current regime. Eurasia was alarmed by this development and interfere. Their army marched into Kazakhstan and invaded Uzbekistan. Pacifica launched more revolts against the Eurasia and the situation escalated quickly. Pacifica sent an army as volunteers and marched onto Tashkent and other cities. Eurasia swayed the Arabian Union and the Arabian Union joined the invasion. Eurasia agreed to split central Asia as long as they push the Pacificans out. The Pacificans became more and more oppressive and the locals were unsatisfied with the Pacifican occupiers. They launched rebellions and the Pacificans were forced to flee. The populace was unsatisfied with the string of defeat and the wear exhaustion is high. Pacifica backed down from Central Asia and signed the Treaty of Tashkent. This treaty lowered morale back at home, forcing the government to reverse mobilisation policies as well as pro White policies, signalling the downfall of white supremacy in high levels of government.

### Great revolt of AC 25

The Pacifican army is weak and severely overextended, and the state had neglected several regions and allowed resistance groups to be organised. On July AC 25 the Nagasaki revolt and the San Francisco Bay revolted against the autocracy. The garrisons were taken by surprise and the rebels took over their respective cities. Other regions declared independence following the wake of the July revolts and kicked off a chain of events. Australia, Indochina, and Indonesia all declared Independence and tried to break away from the empire. Demonstrations appeared in Bengal and the situation was volatile. A military Junta was soon declared in Hong Kong Bay, and the military reorganised into the Pacifican Grand Army.

### Peace and resignation of Military Junta of AC 34

After 9 years, the military government has mostly stabilised the nation beside Japan and California. The old regime was put back in power with some changes in government and a stronger army. But the transition was not smooth at all, with the army demanding more autonomy and representation in the new government, as well as a 25% increase in military budget.

### Recapture of Japan in AC 39

On 11th July AC 39, Pacifica's founding day, then Chancellor Austin Ha declares war against the Japanese Independent Government. Within 4 days, the Pacifican Navy has captured key strategic islands such as Okinawa and has landed in Kyushu Island. On 21st July, the Pacifican landing force has successfully captured Nagasaki, home of the Resistance movement at the time. Troopers sacked and committed massacres in Nagasaki, as well as raped approximately 400-750 women. On 24th September, the Pacifican Army captured Kyoto, the capital of Japan, 2 days later, Osaka. These defeats significantly lower Japanese moral and deals a striking blow to the Japanese identity. Chancellor Ha's comment on Nagasaki during the 27th National Assembly Annual Congress was: "That was revenge for our ancestors, they must pay for Nanking!" 6 days after the 27 Annual Congress, Japan capitulated and surrendered. In the Hiroshima Diktat, all former Class A war criminals and the Japanese monarchy are to be re-tried for war crimes, along with the annexation of Japan back into Pacifica, without their former status as an autonomous state. This marks the start of the "Prussia of Asia" nickname and the downfall of the nickname the "Blanks".

### Declaration of War of Protection against the South American Federation

*Main Article: Pacific-South American War*

In AC 53, South America's army launches a coup, ousting the pro-Pacifican first minister from power, Pacifica and her allies were quick to denounce the coup, calling the new government illegitimate. Despite the protest, Pacifica did nothing but house the first minister and a "government in exile". But a casus foederis was soon presented to Pacifica, when the South American military was found extorting businesses in Central America, Pacifica's ally. Despite the South American government apologising and imprisoning the soldiers and generals responsible for the provocation, Pacifica declared war. Using their influence in the World Congress, they stopped any aid or help reaching South America. A blockade was soon formed around South America's coastline. The war officially ended in AC 59, with the signing of the Treaty of Montevideo.

Among other powers, the legislative branch passes all laws, regulates interstate and foreign commerce, and controls taxing and spending policies along with the Ministry of Economics and Financial Affairs. Although they wield such power, they have never actually exercised their power

## Economy

### Overview

According to the World Monetary Association, the Pacifican GDP of $22.7 trillion constitutes 28% of the gross world product at market exchange rates and over 18% of the gross world product at purchasing power parity. On January 1 , AC 61, The Autocracy of Pacifica had a national debt of 300 Thousand Pacifican Libre, the lowest of all A8 nations.

The Autocracy of Pacifica is the largest importer of goods and second-largest exporter, though exports per capita are relatively low. In 2010, the total Pacifican trade deficit was $635 billion. In no particular order, the North American Federation, Chinese State, Latin Republic of Central America, African Union and the European Federation are its top trading partners

From 1983 to 2008, Pacifican real compounded annual GDP growth was 3.3%, compared to a 2.3% weighted average for the rest of the A8. The country ranks fifth in the world in nominal GDP per capita and seventh in GDP per capita at PPP. The Pacifican Libre is the world's primary reserve currency.

In 2009, the public sector was estimated to constitute 66.4% of the economy. While its economy has reached a post-industrial level of development, The Autocracy of Pacifica remains an industrial power. In August 2010, the Pacifican labor force consisted of 154.1 million people (50%). With 21.2 million people, the public sector is the leading field of employment. The largest private employment sector is health care and social assistance, with 16.4 million people. It has a smaller welfare state and redistributes less income through government action than most other high-income countries.

The Autocracy of Pacifica is the one of the few advanced economy that has the capability to guarantee its workers paid vacation and is one of a few countries in the world with paid family leave as a legal right. Some 96% of full-time Pacifican workers get paid sick leave, according to the Ministry of Labour, although only 47% of part-time workers get the same benefits.

### Transport

Transport in Pacifica is managed by the Ministry of Transport, with national rail service dominated by Rail Pacifica, a state-owned company, with PanTrack as the largest private sector competitor. Rail Pacifica's dominance on the railway industry is due to the fact they are the operators of the Pan-Pacifican High Speed and the Pan-Asian Hyperloop, as well as they have access to government resources. Most metro systems outside of the North American provinces are run by either MTR or Rail Pacifica, both state owned company, with North American metros ran by Amtrak Pacifica. The nautical industry is mostly open to anyone, with Star Ferry dominating the public ferry service. Pacifica's passenger airline industry is dominated by the five state-owned airlines; Air Pacifica, South Pacific Airlines, United Airways Pacifica, FlyPacifc, and

## Demographics

A census is taken simultaneously in all parts of Pacifica every 10 years. In the latest census of AC 53, the total population of the Pacifica was 1,720,369,930. It is first in the world. The AC 53 census also showed that, over the previous 50 years, the proportion of the population aged 0–14 fell from 31 per cent to 18 per cent, and the proportion of people aged 65 and over rose from 5 to 16 per cent. In 2018 the median age of the UK population was 41.7 years.

In AC 59 the average total fertility rate (TFR) across the country was 2.14 children born per woman. While a rising birth rate is contributing to population growth, it remains considerably below the baby boom peak of 3.39 children per woman in AC 24. In AC 52, 37.2 per cent of births in Pacifica were to unmarried women.

## Culture

Pacifica is home to many cultures and a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values. Aside from the Native Manchu, Native Hakka, and Native Han populations, nearly all Pacificans or their ancestors immigrated during British and French rule of colonies in the region. Mainstream Pacifican culture is a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of European immigrants with influences from many other sources, such as traditions from local Chinese cultures, as seen in the Upper House building of the Pacifican National Assembly. More recent immigration from Africa and especially Latin America has added to a cultural mix that has been described as a homogenizing melting pot, with immigrants contributing to, and often assimilating into, mainstream Pacifican culture.

Pacificans have traditionally been characterized by a strong work ethic, competitiveness, militarism, and collectivism, as well as a unifying belief in a "Pacifican Bond" emphasizing unity, equality, rule of law, and a preference for big government. Pacificans are extremely charitable by global standards: according to an AC 40 Italian study, Pacificans gave 3.69% of GDP to charity, more than any other nation studied.

The Pacifican Dream, or the perception that Pacificans enjoy high social mobility, plays a key role in attracting immigrants. Whether this perception is accurate has been a topic of debate. While mainstream culture holds that The Autocracy of Pacifica is a classless society, scholars identify significant differences between the country's social classes, affecting socialization, language, and values. Pacificans tend to greatly value socioeconomic achievement but being ordinary or average is also generally seen as a positive attribute.

### Tourism

Pacifica received 55.7 million inbound international visitors in 2010, and in 2012 was the third-most-visited country in the world. It also experiences an enormous volume of domestic tourism; an estimated 740 million Pacifican holidaymakers travelled within the country in October 2012. Pacifica hosts the world's second-largest number of World Heritage Sites (56) after Italy and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world (first in the Asia-Pacific). It is forecast that Pacifica will become the world's most popular destination for tourists by AC 74.

### Literature

Pacifica's Chinese literature is based on the literature of the Zhou dynasty. Concepts covered within the Chinese classic texts present a wide range of thoughts and subjects including calendar, military, astrology, herbology, geography and many others. Some of the most important early texts include the *I Ching* and the *Shujing* within the Four Books and Five Classics which served as the Confucian authoritative books for the state-sponsored curriculum in dynastic era. Inherited from the *Classic of Poetry*, classical Chinese poetry developed to its floruit during the Tang dynasty. Li Bai and Du Fu opened the forking ways for the poetic circles through romanticism and realism respectively. Chinese historiography began with the *Shiji*, the overall scope of the historiographical tradition in China is termed the Twenty-Four Histories, which set a vast stage for Chinese fictions along with Chinese mythology and folklore. Pushed by a burgeoning citizen class in the Ming dynasty, Chinese classical fiction rose to a boom of the historical, town and gods and demons fictions as represented by the Four Great Classical Novels which include *Water Margin*, *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, *Journey to the West* and *Dream of the Red Chamber*. Along with the wuxia fictions of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng, it remains an enduring source of popular culture in the East Asian cultural sphere.

Meanwhile Pacifica's English literature heavily borrows from the West, specifically German, French, British and American literature, with slight Russian influence. Many English writiers in Pacifica cite Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, and other Gothic novels as inspirations, making Pacifica the English language Gothic novel capital
