"I ain't never seen the likes of that before." On Thursday, the 19th of November, Emperor Ivan Moldavi, known to many as Pierconium, Emperor of the New Pacific Order issued his second official statement on the Gameplay Forums, and in an unexpected change in conduct, issued a formal policy to the regions of: Europeia, the Black Hawks, Equilism, The North Pacific, Balder, Osiris, and "other regions involved in the raid on NAZI EUROPE", specifically towards the players Astarial and r3naissanc3r (otherwise known as HMS Unicorn, a former TNP Delegate), citing personal insults from the former Senator known as A Mean Old Man and other inappropriate actions from former Senator Karpathos (also known as Aperi), also famous for his video where he mocked the Osiran declaration of war against Lazarus while smoking a cigar. In a more specific apology, the Emperor apologized for former Senator Gaspo's meddling in TNP affairs and an attempted disruption of the Attorney General's Office and Court. He also apologized for Gaspo's attempt to further disrupt the region's legal system when Milograd, famous TSP couper, PRL founder and accomplice in the NPO coup of Lazarus, was rejected as their ambassador to TNP. Lastly, the Emperor made a detailed apology to our region, and to all Lazarenes, for the NPO's coup and attempted annexation of Lazarus in April of this year. "While I personally joined your forum in the aftermath of the New Lazarene Order as Regent of the New Pacific Order and declared my own apology," he stated. "The Pacific has yet to do so in a formal capacity." He admitted that the annexation was completely wrong and said that it stood in complete contrast with his ideals on "Feeder and GCR Unity and Sovereignty", further stating that it was a mistake and should have never been allowed through the Pacific's Senate in the first place. "The Pacific did have a longstanding working relationship with Lazarus and it is my opinion that the attempted annexation of your region was a mistake and a change in course that should not have been allowed by our Senate. That we did not disavow ourselves from the action immediately was a mistake on our part. That we went a step further and became a willing accomplice to the catastrophe through the integration of the community forums is beyond the pale. I am sorry that it occurred." In closing, he encouraged the aggrieved regions to contact him directly about the matter, while noting that simple denouncements of NPO actions without substance will be ignored, and his "conciliatory position on factual points in history where we have wronged other regions is not the same as acquiescence of our position on our regional sovereignty." On behalf of Lazarus, Delegate Emeritus, Minister Herald and prominent Lazarene Funkadelia accepted the formal apology and while noting the unforgivable crime perpetrated by NPO members in the overthrowal of Lazarene democracy, stated that the region appreciates the sentiments. At this point it is unknown where this will lead in terms of re-establishing relations with the NPO, but as Gameplay veteran Cormac noted, it is "certainly the kind of substantive first step that has been lacking prior to this statement.", also complimenting the NPO's really cool seals. However, this acknowledgment of past mistakes marks what seems to be an attempt by the NPO government to cast off their image as a dull, secretive and evil force, and improve their standing in the world, while maintaining their power and influence without a major change in internal policy. A cautious glide towards progress, one could say, trying to paint their omnipresence in a better light and expand influence through less shady means than coups and secret agents. It's unlikely that this declaration and ostensible shift in policy towards other regions will change terribly much, as couping other regions is not the only thing that mars the Pacific's activity and reputation. Having been around for ten years, and boasting a multi-website presence that no GP organization can claim at this time, it's hard to imagine the NPO going anywhere, at the moment. Not anytime soon. On another note, Krulltopia, Emperor emeritus of the Pacific who served for 5 years, ceased to be on Wednesday, November 11th, 2015, bringing an end to a long, long career and the beginning of an even longer legacy. You could almost say it's fitting. Edited by Ike, Nov 22 2015, 03:58 AM.

Now the bourgeoisie and their jaygangster mercenaries will attempt to appease the People's Republic of Lazarus with false words. No says we the Minnow of this Glorious proletariat. The Glorious Chairman Milograd smiles at the opportunity for us to liberate the Minnows of The Pacific from their enslavement. We shall pant the banners red with capitalist blood : D
