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.

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.

Pelograd (Pelinese: ペログラダ, Perogurada; Stelossian: Пелоград) is the capital and second most populous city of Pelinai, situated on the southwestern edge of Stelossia bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It is administered as a federal city separate from the rest of Stelossia.
The first significant urban settlement in the Pelograd area was established circa 19 BC, when the settlement of Chorpeska was established by the southwestern Chorekite kingdom of Yugorod as a border outpost near the Marahic kingdoms to the west. It reached status as a major population center by 126 AD, when it was recorded as the capital of the Kerekite Empire; later, during the early medieval era, it became an administrative center for the southeasternmost holdings of the Loshkar Dakaraltsate. Following the unification of the medieval Kingdom of Stelossia in 1397, it was reincorporated under Chorekic rule and became the primary seaport for maritime commerce with other states bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Chorpeska was renamed to Pelograd and converted into the capital of the new Kingdom of Pelinai in 1783, superseding Korolyeviya; it retained this status under the Socialist Republic of Belogora under the name Belograd between 1975 and 1982. The city was spared from the large-scale destruction visited on cities such as Korolyeviya and Letograd during the Pelinese Civil War by the surrender of the communist government in October 1982, which saw the name of Pelograd restored to usage and the new Provisional Government placed into power.
Pelograd possesses significant political, economic, and cultural significance in Pelinai, and is one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities as of 2024. The city is home to numerous major financial and commercial assets such as Pelograd Harbor and the State Energy Resources Exchange; along with Tsugunare and Letograd, it is also one of the three major shipping hubs handling most of Pelinai’s maritime trade with western countries. The federal city and its metropolitan area contain the headquarters buildings for 17 of Pelinai’s 100 largest companies as well as 3 of its major keiretsu banks. Major research universities situated in or near the city include Pelograd Federal University, Stelossia Regional University, and East Mediterranean University. International institutions partially or fully headquartered in Pelograd include the Bailtemmic Commission of the Bailtemmic Cooperation Organization and the Bailtemmic Infrastructure Investment Bank.

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 —
