History

The Pan-Pacific States, commonly known as the Eastern Socialist States or Pasifika, is a socialist union of different island states found in and around the Pacific Ocean. Normally a union of different socialist states and pacific republics, its government and economy is fairly decentralized. The country is currently being run by a large body of representatives known as the Board of the Proletariat, with Maynila being its historical capital and center of government, trade and commerce, and with Tokelau being the more modern and centralized capital where the bodies of the federal government are now found. Other major urban centers are Vladivostok, Shanghai, Nanjing, Macau, Sydney, Jakarta, Singapore, Bangkok and Honolulu. These major urban centers often also house the regional governments. The Indochinese dominate the population with Indonesians, Russians, Japanese and other Polynesian cultures also making up a large portion of the population.

Extending across the largest ocean in the world, the Pan-Pacific States has spanned 10 time zones and has a large range of different environments and landscapes within its territory. Although mostly comprised of islands, the country also has jurisdiction over large portions of the Pacific ocean in its exclusive economic zone.

The formation of what is now known as the Pan-Pacific States began in 1938, before the Second World War, when the Japanese Empire invaded the Chinese Republics following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. During this warring period, Communist China, led by Comrade Mao Zedong, requested the help of the Comintern, an alliance of communist nations led by Soviet Union. Help was sent in the form of a lend lease agreement in which a multitude of arms were sent to aid in the Chinese war effort. With the material support of the Soviet Union, the Chinese United Front was able to defend and push the imperial Japanese invaders to the shores of the Korean Peninsula. Fearing a communist invasion, the Japanese sued for a conditional peace which was rejected by the Soviets and Chinese alike.

An invasion was prepared and was soon set forth upon the island nation of Japan. After 4 bitter years of fighting, the communist forces, led by Mao Zedong himself, reigned victorious over the city of Tokyo and forced the abdication of the emperor. Although there was stiff resistance, many of the Japanese workers rejoiced as they were freed from the shackles of oppression and imperialist capitalism. With the liberation of the Japanese people, the loyalists were soon outnumbered and resorted to guerrilla tactics and retreated to the island of Hokkaido where they remain until this day.

With the capitulation of the main Japanese State, many of its conquered territories were then given independence and were invited to join the Comintern. Many of these states, which would soon form the Pan-Pacific States, were completely independent of one another. This would all change when fascist forces and their allies declared war and invaded territories nearing East Asia. With many of its forces stationed in the Japanese Mainland, Communist China was caught unprepared and would soon sue for peace as the fascist forces approached Beijing. Fearing an imminent invasion from the Fascist menace, the independent Pacific states would band together.

Composed of the former independent countries and various colonial territories, the Pan-Pacific States were formed. The Pan-Pacific States were made up of The Japanese islands and territories, Eastern Siberia, Kamchatka, Manchuria, French Indochina, Taiwan, Burma, Indonesia; formerly known as the Dutch East Indies, Siam, US Pacific colonial territories; such as the Philippine Islands and Hawaii, Australia and its outer territories, New Zealand as well as various smaller islands in the South Pacific. The Chinese Communist State, unwilling to join the war effort against the fascist menace, refused to join and pursued a neutral stance.

The 1960s and 70s were marked with ever increasing tension with the fascist powers of the West, with both sides funding their own separate uprisings in many different proxy wars. In 1975, all-out war broke out between the Pasifikaaner state and the fascist forces, which has led to the stalemate we are at today, with battlefields in Manchuria and Siberia.
