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.

Livana (Livanan pronunciation: [li.vaa.nuh]), officially the Confederacy of Livana (Livanan: Coniuratio Livana, Livanan pronunciation: [ko.nyu.ra.tyo li.vaa.nuh]) is a country in the Mediterranean sea. It is located at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Sea and the Bailtem hinterland, which have contributed to its rich history and shaped a distinctive cultural identity and religiosity. It is part of the Bailtem region of the South Pacific. Livana is home to roughly six million people and covers an area of 11,574 square kilometers (4,469 sq mi), making it one of the smallest countries in Bailtem. The official language of the state is Livanan, while Austral is also formally recognized.
The earliest evidence of civilization in Livana dates back over 5,000 years ago, around the beginning of recorded history. Modern-day Livana was home to the proto-Livanans, a culture that flourished for almost 1,000 years (c. 3,000 BCE–1,000 CE), before being assimilated into the Tolosan colonists around 1,000 BCE. Between 1,000 BCE to the 5th century CE, the archipelago became a major outpost for the Tolosan Republic, centered in today's Stoinia. After the sacking of Tolosa in the 5th century, the islands fell under anarchy until being forcefully unified under the leadership of Foramil the Conqueror while the modern Livanan language began to take shape. The death of Foramil marked the beginning of the Middle Ages in Livana as new kingdoms and fiefdoms emerged from his domain. Livonia eventually grew into the islands' population center, while Arcana expanded into a massive commercial power dominating the Mediterranean Sea until its decline in the 16th century.
The fiefdoms eventually formed four separate states by the 16th century, the Kingdoms of Arcana, Canna, and Cinis, alongside the Theocracy in Livonia. Following the Great Liv War in 1675, the High Priest no longer exert tremendous influence beyond Livonia and the islands descended into a state of anarchy between the four kingdoms. Throughout the 18th century, enlightenment ideals were brought into the islands, culminating in the Livonian Revolt of 1837. Upon the establishment of a democratic republic in Livonia, the islands experienced constant strife and warfare, until the end of the Royalists War in 1848 and the dissolution of the four kingdoms into a united Republic of Livana. Stability was finally achieved and Livana progressed through the industrial revolution, becoming an influential player in the Mediterranean Region as well as across Pacifica. The booming period ended with the breakout of the Livanan Civil War in 1951 which saw the rise of the authoritarian Tarsis Regime, a military dictatorship under Colonel Tarsis Vitruvia. Democracy was restored in 1980 during the January Uprising, which also transformed Livana into a Semi-Presidential Confederation. (Full article...)★ Featured location —
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 —
