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.

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 Sænat ("Senate") is the Efladian federal parliament. It is the only federal representative body that is directly elected by the Efladian people. The Sænat was established by Title III of the Constitution for the Republic of Eflad (Efladian Alman: Verfassung) in 1840 as one of the legislative bodies of Eflad and is therefore the historical successor to the Parliament of the Kingdom of Eflad.
The members of the Sænat are representatives of the Efladian people as a whole, are not bound by any orders or instructions and are only accountable to their electorate. The minimum legal number of members of the Sænat (Efladian Alman: Mitglied des Senats) is 370; however, due to the system of overhang and leveling seats the current 47th Sænat has a total of 428 members.
The Sænat is elected every four years by Efladian citizens aged 16 or over. Elections use a mixed-member proportional representation system which combines first-past-the-post elected seats with a proportional party list to ensure its composition mirrors the national popular vote. An early election is only possible in the cases of a prime minister not being elected in the course of 7 days after being nominated by the President (Art. 52), or if the Sænat fails to confrm a motion of confidence of the prime minister (Art. 58).
