Welcome to this thingy!
Basically, it’s just pictures of Delegates. The idea was taken (with permission) from HEM, whose original version for Europeia can be found here. Just thought it’d be a cool thing to try and mimic!
This is an official project under the Ministry of Publishing, mainly so that if I CTE or ascend to a higher plane, someone else from the government can take care of this (hopefully). If you have any suggestions for pictures or format, questions, comments, etc, reach out to me on Discord (derp#9479) or Nationstates Zukchiva. I dont bite! (PLEASE reach out if you see any inaccuracies!)
Listed time periods:
- Atlantic Alliance Leaders (2003): The Atlantic Alliance was an imperialist organization during early NationStates. They are supposed to be the ones who founded the East Pacific as a passworded UCR trophy when the other Pacifics first started appearing as Game-Created Regions. The AA lost the region to the Farkers a few days before TEP became a GCR.
- Farker Leaders (2003): The Farkers were one of the earliest and most prolific raiding groups in NationStates. After obtaining the East Pacific’s password from a leak, they seized the region from the AA. When TEP became a GCR, the Farkers succeeding in holding the region despite attacks. The East Pacific’s first forum was created during that time.
- Early Government Leaders (2003 - 2008): 1 Infinite Loop, the last and main Farker Delegate, decided to form a legal government for the East Pacific - ratified as the Articles of Confederation in October 2003. A heavily RP-style form of government, it was replaced in 2004 with the Charter - a simplified constitution more in line with usual GP-based ones of the modern day.
- Leaders Under The Empire (2008 - 2009): In 2008, a small group of players known as “The Empire” couped the East Pacific. As a result, a new government called “The Elders” was formed by native TEPers to first cooperate and later oppose the Empire.
- “Old” Concordat Leaders (2008 - 2020): When the Empire left in December 2008, a new constitution called the Concordat was formed with a structure focused on more elections and accountability. This was an era of unparalleled stability for the East Pacific, although the region did face many challenges like community tensions in 2014, the Aelitia pre-trials in 2016, and the Fedele coup attempt in 2019.
- “New” Concordat Leaders (2020 - Present): Following Fedele’s coup attempt in 2019, a proposed rewrite to the Concordat repealed and replaced the Concordat with a “New Concordat”, although this change is no longer legally recognized following amendments passed post-Concordat Crisis of 2022. It is the current era we exist in and has been characterized by a focus on internal unification, community building, and building of foreign relations.
Important notes
- Dates with an ^ mean that the stated date may be inaccurate
- Interim Delegate means a Vizier appointed to serve as temporary Delegate by the elected Delegate
- Acting Delegate means a Vizier appointed by the Magisterium to serve as temporary Delegate.
- Term means the period of months an individual was supposed to serve as Delegate. Terms were initially six months starting from the Concordat, but they were lessened to four months sometime around 2014-2015. Individuals who are listed without terms are to be assumed that they did not serve on a term-basis.
- Suggestions for pictures are welcome~
- Topic is purposefully locked to prevent posting.
- Most images lack credit because they’re either someone’s profile picture or I did not seek to include credit when I first launched this project.
- The Atlantic Alliance leaders were not necessarily leaders of the AA, just TEP while the AA controlled TEP. Same goes for the Farkers.
