The Pacifica canon is the modern-day roleplay canon of TSPRP, and the oldest of the current 3. It follows modern dates and levels of technology, and features real-world religions, ideologies, and languages, but has a separate universe and does not use Earth’s geography or history. The active map area is the South Pacific, a region in the southern hemisphere of Pacifica around the prime meridian.
Roleplay in the Pacifica canon is more grounded and realism-focused than the other two canons and Knowhere. The most influential and established historical event of the canon is the Great War, an enormous region-spanning military conflict from 1949 to 1955 which involved most of the canon’s great powers, brought the development of nuclear weapons in 1955, and played a significant role in many nations’ histories. Other major events occurring more recently IC include the establishment of the World Forum as a peace-promoting international organization in 2017 and the Reizen Civil War from 2017 to 2022.

★ Featured nation page —
The United States of Izaakia is the largest nation in the Keyli continent, and has 2 overseas territories, with a total Area of 324,935km^2 north of the 70th parallel (Izaakia claims all land south of the 70th parallel (15,500,000km2) these claims are disputed). The population of Izaakia is 49.7 million Million, mostly concentrated on the northern coast of Keyli and the coasts of Montacia and Brodlancia, with large population centres in the capital Izaakston (5 Million), Port Vent (9 Million), Hopstown (7 Million) and New Mako (7 million).
The Izaakian political system is officially a republic, since April 2021 when President Blanc became head of state displacing the imperial family, in a handover ceremony with Empress Astrid. There is a democratically elected federal government led by President Dr Stella Blanc with devolved governments in each of the 3 nations and the New Mako-Izaakston conurbation . Economically the nation of Izaakia is highly developed with a relatively high manufacturing output, led by the furniture producer Izea, the technology firm Taiga and all terrain car manufacturer Ice Shark. Outside of the manufacturing sector, Izaakia takes advantage of its location along shipping lanes between the Cordilian Sea and the Brevelo Sea, with New Mako being a global shipping centre, there is also a large environmental tourism sector. The nations of Brödmark and La Montagne are not developed as highly as Izaakia, however they do have successful economies in agriculture, tourism, mining(particular la montane), finance, manufacturing and arms production.

The Cordilian Sea stretches from the North Pacific Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, and washes the shores of Cordilia to the east and the island continent to the west.
It encompasses 30,630,000 km2 (11,830,000 sq mi) in area, and covers about 6% of the total area of Pacifica. The Cordilian Sea splits into two regions with different and independent ocean currents at the equator due to the Coriolis Effect. It splits into the North Cordilian Sea and the South Cordilian Sea, this last one taking most of the area of the Cordilian Sea and being the main current in the occidental shore of Cordilia.
Its average depth is around of 3,300 m (10,800 ft). The Deep in the West Continent Trench, located west of Kosbareland, is the deepest point of the Cordilian Sea. (Full article...)★ Featured general page —
The Pacifica System or Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly, including Pacifica. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the nine planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies.
The Pacifica System formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Visi. The four smaller inner system planets, Parva, Proxima, Pacifica and Tyr, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal, while the innermost planet, Clara, is a gas giant. The four outer system planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the inner system planets. The two largest planets, Visi and Porea, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Tillsi and Xion, are a massive rocky planet and an ice giant respectively, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All nine planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.
The Pacifica System also contains smaller objects. The innermost asteroid belt, the Balteuma Belt, which lies between the orbits of Parva and Proxima, mostly contains objects composed, like the terrestrial planets, of rock and metal. Within these populations, some objects are large enough to have rounded under their own gravity; such objects are categorized as dwarf planets. The largest dwarf planet is Balteuma. Beyond Porea lie the Botnienn Belt which is a population of objects composed mostly of small asteroids and ices. Beyond Xion lies Hachiman's Keep and the scattered disc, which also is a population of objects composed mostly of small ices and beyond them a newly discovered population of sednoids. It is possible that several dwarf planets lie here, but none have been found yet. In addition to these three regions, various other small-body populations, including comets, centaurs and interplanetary dust clouds, freely travel between regions. Six of the planets and many of the smaller bodies are orbited by natural satellites, usually termed "moons" after the Moon (Maxima). Each of the outer planets is encircled by planetary rings of dust and other small objects. (Full article...)★ Featured informational page —
