The PacificBoard

In January 2019, Delegate Fedele requested that the New Pacific Order accept modifications to the TEP-NPO standing pact. The New Pacific Order, out of respect to the Delegate’s stated wishes and to our ally's desire to streamline their existing Foreign Affairs agreements, accepted the changes and the treaty was modified. However, this change did not alter the signatories recognized by the initial treaty: The New Pacific Order, legal government of The Pacific, and the Concordat-legitimized Confederated East Pacific.

The Concordat of The East Pacific states that elections for Delegate are to be held three times a year and an elected Delegate serve for four-month terms before the next elections. These elections are now over. The result finalization has left Marrabuk as the Delegate-elect. As such, Marrabuk is recognized as the legitimate voice of the region unless the Conclave rules that an election complaint filed by second-place candidate Davelands is valid and re-doing the elections is the next step.

The meat of the situation is that at Major update of October 13th, The East Pacific saw the illegal banjection of Vizier Bachtendekuppen and the ejection of Vizier Todd McCloud by Fedele and Funkadelia. Minor update of October 14th saw the banjection of Delegate-elect Marrabuk, and the attempted ejection of Vizier Aelitia by Fedele. These actions are against the law of the Concordat. They also coincide with multiple deliberate law violations committed by Fedele and his friends, namely in this instance Davelands and Funkadelia.

These law violations include:

• The unlawful ejections of Todd McCloud and Aelitia.

• The unlawful banjections of Marrabuk and Bachtendekuppen.

• Removing the endorsement cap from the World Factbook Entry.

• Removal of the Viziers from the Regional Officer positions (ruled illegal by the Conclave).

• Encouraging multiple people in The East Pacific to break the endorsement cap to provoke the Viziers.
  

Other actions taken that should be condemned are:

• The deliberate endotarting of Davelands, who violated the endorsement cap under the orders of Fedele.

• Fedele forcing Todd McCloud to eject Davelands to drain his influence purposefully.

• Planning to undermine multiple members of the region to consolidate a hold on power.
  

The New Pacific Order strongly condemns these actions that undermine the legitimacy of the Delegate seat of The East Pacific and violate the spirit of the laws by which the region has operated since the formation of the current government after the coup by Empire in 2008. Marrabuk as Delegate-elect is recognized by the Senate of the New Pacific Order as the legitimate intended Delegate of The East Pacific.

The New Pacific Order has been asked and answered the call to deploy our troops to combat the unlawful coup orchestrated by Fedele and his companions and support the Delegate-elect, Marrabuk. These actions to support The East Pacific when called by the Viziers and Delegate-elect are wholly supported by The East Pacific’s own laws and are thus, contrary to Funkadelia’s claims, not indicative of anything resembling a hostile foreign takeover of The East Pacific. Requested by Viziers and the Delegate-elect, support of the legitimate law-abiding government is entirely legal by The East Pacific’s laws.

We have chosen to respond to the call of our allies in a time of need rather than sit back and watch the region burned by a rogue Delegate and his couper allies. The New Pacific Order committed to the course of recognizing regional sovereignty after the events of last year. While actions taken by Fedele up until last night were recognized by us purely an internal matter and no support had been requested at the time, we respected that sovereignty. Now the sovereignty is threatened by a rogue Delegate and we respond to the call to preserve The East Pacific against a coup.
