Pacifico, officially known as the Parliamentary Republic of Pacifico, was a self-declared autonomous sovereign state, or a micronation, located entirely within the United Kingdom, with territories mostly spread throughout the city of Gloucester. It was a federal, parliamentary nation. The country declared its independence from the United Kingdom on 15 July 2023, as the Republic of Soragal, which reformed into the Holy Mincar Empire, which reformed into The Republic of Pacifico. It consisted of 9 states, 8 of which were located within the county of Gloucestershire, 1 located on the Isle of Wight (Hampshire). As of 2024, Pacifico had 21 citizens.
Pacifico was created as a result of the DJ Empire. The Empire was discontinued in early 2023 due to important documents being leaked and seized by a higher authority. 4 months after the Empire being dissolved, Pacifico was created and instantly eliminated all opposition in its area. On 22 May 2024, the nation experienced a transition of form of government, from Republic to Empire.
Most of the residents in Pacifico were either Spanish or British citizens and only 7 people lived in mainland Pacifico. The other 13 people lived in Pacifican colonies as a result of the Act of Territorial Gains.
History
The End of the DJ Empire
On 16 March 2024, the Empirian Civil War ended with a peace treaty. The last signant leaned back on their chair to give the current Emperor of Pacifico the peace treaty back to validate and approve the signing. But, in the process, someone of higher authority spotted that person leaning back on their chair and seized the paper. 1 hour later, having fully read and understood it, the person with higher authority told everyone involved in the treaty to go outside the room for a 'second'. That 'second' would cost the entire DJ Empire. The person mentioned that the treaty sounded like a dictatorship, when actually, the Empire was very democratic, allowing its citizens to vote. Upon hearing this, everyone was confused. But no one dared to question that person. After the 'second', feeling pressured to do so, the Emperor dissolved the DJ Empire, saying his final goodbye.
First Era
Four months after the incident, the President decided to create another country. This time, he understood the dangers of high-authority figures. He named it the Republic of Soragal, started it in his bedroom, and got to work. Within 10 minutes, he knew the country needed more land, so he recruited a military. After 5 minutes, the army was ready to invade. He devised a strategy, based on the Schlieffen Plan and Blitzkrieg tactics. He started by invading nearby rooms, mainly focusing on the inner regions. Once he had enough troops, he would invade the outer regions. But then came the kitchen area (now Terrinal) where they were met with actual opposition. The battle plan wasn't anything special, but the President knew it would work. And it did. He had now conquered his entire house. Thirty minutes after creation, a permanent population was established. After this, he set up administrative regions and new laws, all within the space of 45 minutes. On 16 July 2023, the country's official name was changed to The Holy Mincar Empire, because of its territorial gains. The next day, the advisor to the President (Vice President) was appointed. On the same day, the name of the country was changed to what it is now (Pacifico). In August, nothing changed apart from the official name being changed to the Parliamentary Republic of Pacifico. In September 2024, Pacifico saw significant changes: 1. Its population rose from 5 to 24. 2. Pacifico was planning to make a law that would simply state that if you were a citizen of Pacifico, your house was automatically part of Pacifico. 3. Modern and efficient states were created, making Pacifico easier to manage. 4. Pacifico introduced new legislation, making the country more stable.
Second Era
In 2024, Pacifico had acquired new lands which eventually became the de facto Parliament, a convenient location for leaders to meet. However, the idea of in-person meetings faded over time. The President and Vice President began using Google Meet on Tuesdays at 3:00 PM GMT to discuss matters of state. On 28 April, the President proposed an act to significantly accelerate Pacifico's territorial expansion. 30 April saw the introduction of Pacifico's first military force. The "Triangle Man Clan" merged with the existing military to form the New Pacifican Military.
1 May brought the establishment of a governmental hierarchy for Pacifico, outlining roles and the line of presidential succession. On 2 May, a Pacifican citizen left the nation to found their own, the Democratic Realm of Pacifists. The Pacifican government severed trade relations and refused recognition of the new nation. An exception was made in the form of a peace treaty, to prevent potential war. Despite the lack of recognition, the President maintained relations with the new nation. 5 May marked a historic moment with the signing of an alliance between the two countries, ensuring lasting peace. The official signing occurred on 7 May. On 10 May, the Vice President and President Pro Tempore departed Pacifico, fearing the President held too much power. The President responded with a compromise, proposing equal standing for the three most important figures in government. This formally transformed Pacifico into a triumvirate. This agreement averted a potential national crisis.
13 May 2024 saw the President declare a state visit to Portugalete, Spain. 14 May brought the creation of a clan named "Knockback Nemofists" by the Vice President and President Pro-Tempore. The President initially suggested this group function as a Pacifican company focused on the voting system, but the idea was rejected. Infuriated, the President shifted his focus to establishing peace with the clan. This effort was successful, although nearly fractured twice due to perceived disrespect towards the clan's name. On 22 May, collaboration began on a project with the DRP and Knockback Nemofists, aimed at territorial expansion for both nations. The plan involved constructing a base to claim new land. This same day also witnessed the proclamation of the Empire of Pacifico, with the Vice President and President Pro-Tempore exiled near the South Garden-United Kingdom border. The President was declared Emperor. A law was established during this proclamation, prohibiting members of Knockback Nemofists who were citizens at the time from leaving, to prevent a potential population crisis.
Founders
Pacifico was originally founded by the President of Pacifico following the dissolution of the DJ Empire. The Vice President was appointed 2 days after Pacifico was founded as he was one of the leaders in The DJ Empire. The "Vice Vice President" joined in 3-4 days after the creation of Pacifico, but was only given his appropriate title on 2 May.

Politics and government
The Republic of Pacifico was a Parliamentary Republic but it was mainly run by the President and Vice President. They would usually call each other on Google Meet once a week to discuss laws, states and the country itself. To make a new law or introduce something new, The President and the Vice President had to agree with each other on it, and then, a majority of the population must agree on it, then the law was passed.
