Pacific Federation (Gladia)

The Pacific Federation was founded August 23rd, 2020 originally under the name of Imperial Taiwan by Gradedcypressboi, as of a result of his disgust at the Iroquois-Dakiwi Fusion. It's currently led by Gradedcypressboi of Palace Saravoan and of the Imperial Party, with a recent election on the 14th of February, 2021, changing the ruler from Tree-D of Kahoolawe.

## Colonization of the Philippines

### Peaceful Expansion and Refurbishment.

Doniport, founded by ShardTheDDon, and New Monkey City, founded by Nicovale, came to be quickly after The Pacific Federation was founded, both on the 23rd of August, 2020, from a campaign requested by Gradedcypressboi to extend the reach of the country. Both Doniport and New Monkey city were built upon ruins of abandoned cities that used to exist on the islands, with Doniport having an unknown source, and New Monkey City being built upon the ruins of Bloons Monkey City/Samar (Findings in the area point to two pre-existing towns both upon the rubble, with signs depicting names of both). However, New Monkey City fell from activity and got claimed once again by the town of Nueva Silang.

### Taiwan-Communist Treaty

On the day Doniport was founded, the 23rd of August, 2020, members of the Communist Union living in Mindoro rode boats over to the up-and-coming town. They agreed peacefully not to interfere with each other, existing side-by-side. Both Taiwanese figures Graded and Shard agreed to the treaty, and the Commies went home, with a peace agreement in the hearts and mind.

### Cappin' on the Offense

On the Morning of the 19th of September, 2020, The Pacific Federation declared war against South Philippines, by placing a siege banner north of Mindoro, surrounded by Hoppers, Coal Blocks, and Crafting tables. Drumroll89 of Ancapistan rang the bells of war by demanding that everyone get to Doniport, with extra emphasis on trying to wake up Batben1116 from both Gradedcypressboi and Drumroll89. Initial efforts were led by (cool epic gamer) KekyoinGamer313 and Drumroll89 as they capped the banner together, however with seeing 2 South Filippino soldiers on the world map, Drumroll89, who was alone due to KekyoinGamer313 successfully finishing the capping the banner, fled in a panic because he was scared to get 2v1'd. Graded ordered him to pull back and return when they went away, while Drumroll89 came up with the idea to hide underground to make him look like he left from the eyes of the enemy. Although later, when both Hobosushi and Angrydoritos (The South Philippine Soldiers) came around, he successfully beat them both, scoring The Pacific Federation 1,000 points to start the siege right. Despite the original plan to force South Philippines to merge into The Pacific Federation, only Mindoro got into The Pacific Federationese hands. It was The Pacific Federation's first true militaristic showcasing, and it was successful, with Mindoro being integrated into The Pacific Federation, and South Philippines collapsing into Japan later.

## Towards the Pacific Islands and Beyond

#### Splitting from an Unsafe Empire

Batbengrad joined The Pacific Federation on the 7th of September, 2020, after the mayor Batben1116 held a personal conference with ShardTheDDon in the middle of the Doniport Bazaar. Citing reasons such as that Batben didn't feel that Russia was safe for him any longer, and that The Pacific Federation was relatively close enough to be a better country to be under. So ShardTheDDon went to inform the leader about the request of joining, and Graded and Batben1116 worked together to accept the peaceful claiming of Batbengrad into a new, and, in Batben1116's beliefs, better country to work with.

#### All it Takes is a Book

Palau was founded on the 13th of September, 2020 with DEMNPOF as it's mayor. A day later, the 14th of September, ShardTheDDon noticed the town had been settled, and it was without a country. With Graded's approval, ShardTheDDon wrote an invitation in a book and quill to be delivered to the settlement via boat (it wasn't public), in the book, it simply read the advantages of Palau specifically to join The Pacific Federation over any other country, it'd be closer than any other country selection, except for South Philippines, so it'd be a wise choice for security and trade reasons. The Pacific Federation was also larger than South Philippines, so it had a more enticing selection of shops to browse through and a bigger chunk claim bonus. DEMNPOF accepted the invitation the following day, and has been in The Pacific Federation ever since until the day it fell from the inactivity plague.

#### What is Unwanted, We'll Take

Southwest of Batbengrad laid the town of Tropicalis, which eventually fell due to inactivity. The player before then laid out enough land to settle several plots, which made it large enough to be worthwhile. Floatage (Former citizen of Doniport and now current mayor of Neo Tropicalis) noticed that the land was unclaimed on the morning of the 6th of October, 2020, with ShardTheDDon providing the name. Floatage had initial doubt that it was unclaimed, due to the large Palace-esque house standing tall over the island, however she was happy with the loot pull. Neo Tropicalis was integrated into the empire the night of that same day. However, the town fell on November 21st, 2020, in the last ditch effort to drive the RedTax invaders out. Now, Floatage is the mayor and sole resident of New Calais.

## Plans of Ruling, Alaska?

On the 18th of August, while the higher-ups of the country were planning out the country's borders, Furyfire was trying to work out a mayoral position with Graded. As Furyfire kept failing on finding a land to claim, Graded's temper started to burn brighter and hotter. First, it was on the continental mainland north-west of Taiwan, but it was denied because that would violate Qin's territory. Second, he tried to pick the modern-day site of Doniport, which failed because ShardTheDDon already claimed it for the empire. Third, he tried down in the southern area of the Philippines, which failed because it's Cactus' territory. Then he really wanted to settle Hawaii, only for Poland to win the race. Finally, Graded snapped.

"We cant settle on Hawaii, until we actually geet players which means invasion but rn no. Time to find a new big island.

***FRUCK IT, ALASKA TIME***" -Gradedcypressboi.

Thus, Neu Formosa was founded posthaste after that declaration, at one point being one of the larger towns of the empire, however, both Neu Formosa and the failed settlement of Alaskaiana fell to ruins due to inactive playerbases and lack of effort.

## The Pacific Federation

On October 8th, 2020, BatBen1116 became the Emperor of The Pacific Federation, and the Capital moved to Batbengrad. Over the next week, he began several reforms. BatBen1116 changed the name of the country to Pacific Federation, changed his title to Premier, wrote a constitution (which has yet to be officially adopted), and began talks with Hoken Japani and the Russian Empire in an attempt to sell the city of Taiwan, in an attempt to help the nation gain more money (however as of this writing no successful sale has occurred). BatBen1116 hopes to gradually work on expanding the infrastructure of existing active towns by helping them gain land and people, and set up a democratic system of government in the Federation.

## The Great Collapse

Inactivity is a plague that effects every town and nation, and the Pacific Federation isn't an exception. During October and November, towns within the Pacific Federation started to go belly-up; including New Monkey City, Palau, Snowy Island, and I think more.

Some towns left for diplomatic reasons. Ancapistan left the Federation in order for Russia to ally with the Pacific Federation. Pertston left because it's mayor, and sole inhabitant, KekyoinGamer313, left to form the Tau Empire once again. Kazan left because it was peaceful and Pertston (the only close-by Pacific Federation town) left.
