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.
To get involved with the Pacifica canon, look at the map thread on the forums and check the guide for starting in TSPRP:

Stoinia, short for its official name the Kingdom of Stoina, is a sovereign monarchy spanning across the South Pacific Ocean from southwestern Bailtem (also called Metropolitan Stoinia) to eastern central Cordilia in Corinia (often also referred to as Cordilian Stoinia) as well as maintaining a dominant presence in the Central Islands through its control of Carraca. On Metropolitan Stoinia, the Kingdom is bordered by Sallodesia in the north and in the south by Sedunn and Ezervulge and enjoys a lush subtropical climate surrounding the Varcathians. On the Central Islands it enjoys a year-round tropical climate with fellow oceanic nations such as Pētea and Takāhi while Cordilian Stoinia is split between humid subtropical and warm Mediterranean climates with its neighbours of Valkyria and Huawan in the vicinity. In total, the Kingdom holds a total area of 181,750 km2 and a population of 57 million (as of 2022). The Kingdom is a unique form of a devolved unitary parliamentary semi-constitutional monarchy wherein autonomous regions hold a relative amount of power besides the King who enjoys significant, although still limited, powers compared to other constitutional counterparts. Its capital is the city of Sinaia in the Siniliu Valley which serves as the political centre. Its largest city is the metropolis of Carao which houses roughly a fifth of the population in the Shai Kong Special Economic Zone in Corinia. Additionally, there are multiple highly developed cities, having evolved from the various ethnicities within Stoinia, that serve as cultural and commercial centres such as Carreño, Milano, Coruña, Tavira, Costina, Saverno, Tianjin, and Taranto. Furthermore, Stoinia also has exclaves of considerable size neighbouring Koros and Ikaranara in northern Cordilia.
Stoinia first emerged as a unified nation at the end of the Mediterranean Iron Age roughly 1000 BC. Under the Tolosan Republic, the Latin-speaking Tolosans formed a sophisticated merchant republic with advanced laws and thriving commerce. It formed key partnerships with the Dures, Livanan polities and the Phaloecian Thalassocracy across the Mediterranean Sea. It also formed colonies on the uninhabited coasts around the Mediterranean Sea in locations of modern-day Spiras, Livana, Eria, Pelinai and Rekhivan client cities. Through a vast trade network with fellow mercantile civilisations, the Tolosan Republic reached historical heights. However, the Tolosan Republic would meet its end at the hands of the Ezervulgish nomads which sacked all cities of the Republic before settling in their current lands, though many overseas colonies would continue to become their own free states such as Spiras, Eria, Livana and mercantile republics in Pelinai.
In the Middle Ages, the Tolosan successor kingdoms largely fought amongst themselves for power until the unification by King Alexandru of Sinarion in 1222 AD. Consolidating the various post-Tolosan ethnicities under a new 'Stoinian' ethnostate where He was crowned 'King of the Stoinians'. Once the rebuilding efforts had been completed, the following King Ioan I funded the seafaring expedition of Ioan Caragiu which led to the discovery of the Garāori on Carraca in the South Pacific Ocean in 1261 AD.

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 Registered Cossacks of the Kingdom of Pelinai are a Pelinese military organization that functions as the region-based military reserve component of the Pelinese White Army and the Royal Pelinese Air Force. The Registered Cossacks provide uniformed services support to federal regions in a variety of localized emergency situations as well as serve as a fully equipped and trained reserve force of the regular Pelinese military.
The Registered Cossacks are organized by the federal regions of Pelinai with both regional- and federal-provided funding; they are under the operational control of the regional executives during peacetime when not federalized by the federal government, while administrative control is exercised by the Directorate of Cossack Troops under the Pelinese Ministry of Defense. Peacetime activities of the Registered Cossacks include the assistance of civil defense forces during local natural disasters, the suppression of civil disorder, and the provision of security assistance to police during major events. In the event of military conflict, the Prime Minister of Pelinai may exercise the power to federalize the Registered Cossacks and place them under the operational command of the relevant branches of the Pelinese Armed Forces in order to provide them with additional forces: in such situations, deployed formations of the Registered Cossacks fight under military command as regular and non-regional reserve troops of the Pelinese Armed Forces do. Cossack troops that have been federalized may also be deployed on internal operations in severe civil disorder situations through invocation of the Internal Security Act, in which case they act as in region-ordered deployments and/or in support of deployed internal troops of the Pelgvardiya.
The Registered Cossacks of the Kingdom of Pelinai trace their history back to the use of ethnic Loshkar cossack military forces during the early 19th century wars of Pelinese unification and up to the institution’s abolition in 1907. The cossack institution was later revived in Pelinai 74 years later, in 1984, in response to the need to provide a region-level military and security force to the newly created federal regions of Pelinai; this resulted in the creation of five new cossack hosts, including both the old Loshkar and Samarahi Hosts as well as new Stelossian, Yukisoran, and Sevar Hosts in regions where the historical institution was never widely established.

Agriculture in Pelinai comprises a significant portion of the primary sector of the Pelinese economy, along with other industries such as fishing, aquaculture, forestry, and mining, and functions as a major driver of economic activity in rural areas of Pelinai. It encompasses activities including the cultivation of cereals, fruit plants & fruit trees, vegetables, nuts, and spices, as well as the raising of livestock for meat, eggs, milk, and other animal products. Cleared or majority-cleared land used for agriculture accounts for 25.1% of all land in Pelinai, with approximately 18.9 million acres of land under cultivation in 2024; most of this land area lies in various areas of humid subtropical climate with fertile soil and multiple rivers, resulting in a large proportion of heat- and moisture-tolerant crops such as corn, citrus fruits, tea, and upland cotton. A further 2.37 million acres of forest is also in agricultural use as forested pasture.
Pelinai is a significant global producer of corn, citrus fruit, green beans and butter beans, cinnamon, peppers, prunus fruit such as cherries, peaches, and apricots, pecans, walnuts, tea, cocoa beans, raspberries, squash and pumpkins, strawberries, sweet potatoes, and watermelons, and other produce, as well as broilers, pork, and eggs. It is also renowned as one of the world’s largest growers of roses for production of rose water, rose oil, and other products.
Intensive efforts to improve the productivity of agriculture in Pelinai have greatly increased crop yields and decreased labor intensiveness of farming in some areas, but difficult mountainous terrain and the need for hand-picking of certain important crops like strawberries has somewhat limited the impact of traditional agricultural mechanization. Newer innovations such as genetically modified crops have also seen growing usage alongside conventional pesticides and other control measures to further improve yields and limit the prevalence of plant pests such as phytophthora, the spread of which is often favored by the prevailing humidity and high temperatures of the Pelinese climate.
