Earlier today, the People's Republic of the Pacific released the following statement regarding Nasicournia:
By Decree of The Pacific Senate we issue this statement regarding Nasicournia.
It has come to our attention that Nasicournia has granted recognition to the Pacific Army by way of an Embassy. This is unacceptable and will not be allowed to pass unremarked.
Despite empty exhortations from Nasicournia that they have no designs on the Pacific historically their actions indicate otherwise. We have suffered incursions from their Intelligence services, been attacked openly by their Military, actively maligned in their foreign policy and watched as they have given our enemies aid, comfort, support and training. No more.
We have tried to come to a dialogue only to be rebuffed as on their terms or no terms at all. These malignant userites will not dictate to Mother Pacific any longer; all offers of dialogue are now withdrawn. We consider this recognition of hostile units an act of war.
Pacific Army, despite claims to the contrary, are a hodgepodge of Nasicournians and remnant Czarists from Thedoc. Nasicournia refuses to make any stance on the Pacific Army's admitted mission statement to undermine the Pacific save open support and recognition? The old argument of exiles has run hollow. They have resided in Nasicournia for two years by that reckoning. They can no longer claim The Pacific as their home. It is a farce and a joke to even insinuate otherwise.
Effective immediately Nasicournia is considered an Enemy state. They are actively supporting a subversive movement spawned and supported from their own territory. The Pacific will now demand of its citizens who have conflicts of Naturalization to make their choice very clear as to where they swear their loyalty. If not, the choice will be made for you.
Comrades! They have ignited the flames, now let them reap the whirlwind.

Outraged by their threatening statement, Nasicournia released the following statement regarding the PRP declaration:
An Announcement from Nasicournia:
Official response to the recent declaration against our region released by the PRP
We have received the proverbial drop of the gauntlet from the current government of the Pacific, commonly known as the PRP. We recognize that the PRP has declared war on our sovereign region, and while we find the gesture deplorable and unfortunate, will rise to the challenge should they attempt to make good on their threats.
We would like to address their reasoning of this declaration piece-by-piece:
It has come to our attention that Nasicournia has granted recognition to the Pacific Army by way of an Embassy. This is unacceptable and will not be allowed to pass unremarked.
As of yesterday, Nasicournia agreed to the opening of an Embassy with the Pacific Army. The PRP had already been accusing us of doing such before the act had actually occurred. In our transparent public discussions on the opening of the PA Embassy, we made it clear that the opening in no way was meant to send a message of recognition or legitimacy to the ideals of the PA, most especially because as with most regions, Nasicournian opinion is split regarding the subject. However, in our discussions, we deemed that especially due to the propogandic parallels being drawn between our two regions, the opening of an Embassy to facilitate communication between Nasi and PA was most important. The region took a vote, the results were largely in the affirmative (with dual PA residents abstaining), and hence under our Constitution we followed the results of the vote and opened the embassy.
We would like to point out that many other regions maintain communication with the Pacific Army as well; this is not a phenomenon limited to Nasicournia, and was our sole purpose in opening the Embassy.
Despite empty exhortations from Nasicournia that they have no designs on the Pacific historically their actions indicate otherwise. We have suffered incursions from their Intelligence services, been attacked openly by their Military, actively maligned in their foreign policy and watched as they have given our enemies aid, comfort, support and training. No more.
We openly invite the PRP to present evidence that the Nasicournian Intelligence Agency has embarked on "incursions" against the PRP. We would also point out that NasiCorps has never militarily attacked the PRP, and Nasicournia itself has only ever been involved in a liberation attempt of the Pacific when the majority of the free world also participated--and even then, only by way of volunteer military personnel.
We would then invite the PRP to inform the world of "Operation: Hiedra" and other such nefarious activities designed to expose intelligence agents of ADN regions in order to blackmail, bribe, and expose these nations to invader groups. We would further ask the PRP to justify their methods in procuring this information, which included but was not limited to the messenger and IRC impersonation of Nasicournian Intelligence officials, and Intelligence officials from other ADN regions. We would also like an explanation of why the BPI ordered the placement of espionage agents in Nasicournia, Equilism, the North Pacific, and other regions both with and without membership in the Alliance Defense Network.
We have never actively given any enemy of the PRP "aid, comfort, support, and training." Many residents of Nasicournia sympathize with the plight of the Pacific refugees that have not yet left the game; indeed some of our residents qualify as such themselves. As of the time of this statement, there is and has been to foreign policy against the PRP. Even as recently as last week we were in fact extending an invitation to open communications with their government.
We have tried to come to a dialogue only to be rebuffed as on their terms or no terms at all. These malignant userites will not dictate to Mother Pacific any longer; all offers of dialogue are now withdrawn. We consider this recognition of hostile units an act of war.
On the contrary, the PRP has never made any gesture to open communications with Nasicournia. Again and again (most recently by our Founder, Pope Hope herself) we have made gestures on behalf of our region both on the PRP forum (http://s4.invisionfree.com/thepacific/index.php?showtopic=2988) and the Equilism (http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=2960) forum (http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=2967) (please note there are three threads included there) to open communications between the government of Nasicournia and the PRP, and as you can see, again and again our attempts were rebuffed, not because of a reason of ours, but because the PRP demanded it be on their terms or on none at all.
Pacific Army, despite claims to the contrary, are a hodgepodge of Nasicournians and remnant Czarists from Thedoc. Nasicournia refuses to make any stance on the Pacific Army's admitted mission statement to undermine the Pacific save open support and recognition? The old argument of exiles has run hollow. They have resided in Nasicournia for two years by that reckoning. They can no longer claim The Pacific as their home. It is a farce and a joke to even insinuate otherwise.
Nasicournia had no foreknowledge of nor hand in the resurrection of the Pacific Army. We have always openly stated that we have several Pacific exiles as citizens of our region; we actively invited them to join our region during the mass expulsions executed in the past.
On the argument of their current legitimacy, these residents have never ceased in their determination to free their homeland. They hope that any nation wrongly expelled from their home by usurpers would maintain this mindset far longer than two years later, even when others have granted the invading force legitimacy.
Nasicournia itself is a widely diverse region with nations of dual citizenship from many different regions around the world. All of these regions hold different policies on the PRP (or none at all), and with our diverse membership, there is no consensus of opinion. It is a "farce and a joke" to continue stating that Nasicournia itself is one of mass mindset, and furthermore to insist that we all hold the same opinions regarding the the evolution of the NPO into the PRP.
Furthermore, Nasicournia has consistently offered refuge to Pacific Exiles spanning the entirety of the two+ years in which there has been a need to provide asylum for exiled Pacificans. Not all of our exiled Pacifican residents are from two years ago; many are considerably more recently ejected, and some held positions of leadership.
In fact, due to our acceptance of Pacific exiles, we have more than enough hard evidence to demonstrate to the world that the PRP has been planning to declare war upon Nasicournia and its borders months before the action was taken on December 14th, 2005. They simply hadn't come up with a good enough excuse for it before now. If you would like to see this evidence which includes discussions on the merits and downsides of invading Nasicournia taking place as far back as April of 2005 (and much more), please visit the Nasicournian Forum (http://s2.invisionfree.com/nasicournia) and make a PM request to either Pope Hope or Majesto.
We had hoped that we would never have to reveal this evidence to the world, but it appears they have forced our hand.
Effective immediately Nasicournia is considered an Enemy state. They are actively supporting a subversive movement spawned and supported from their own territory. The Pacific will now demand of its citizens who have conflicts of Naturalization to make their choice very clear as to where they swear their loyalty. If not, the choice will be made for you.
It is quite sad to see the PRP further persecute citizens of the Pacific for their involvement in yet another region. This statement is undoubtedly directed at 1838/SWATH, which is further disappointing, considering SWATH has on numerous occasions also been one to promote an opening of relations (including embassy exchange) between Nasicournia and the PRP. It seems that since their attempts to exile him by way of doctored screenshots failed, and this is the only way they can "legally" revoke his citizenship.
The citizens of Nasicournia had been wondering about the renewed propaganda campaign being perpetrated by the PRP against our sovereign region as of late. Today's statement released by the PRP, which basically amounts to a declaration of war, definitively explains the recently increased activity.
Any and every nation and region of the international community who peruses the tabloids and news stories of the PRP, in combination with statements made on their own home forum and abroad, will easily witness that certain members of the PRP government have openly and actively attempted to provoke Nasicournia long before now. They will also be able to see that no such provocation exists here or in Nasicournian activity abroad. We have adopted a policy of ignoring such propaganda and attempts to provoke conflict in the past. Unfortunately with this outright threat, we are no longer able to do so. We hope the international community comes to understand this in the tumultuous days to come.
Comrades! They have ignited the flames, now let them reap the whirlwind.
With this statement, we recognize the threats presented to us by the People's Republic of the Pacific. With no option of peaceful resolution or diplomacy left available, from here on out we will react accordingly.

In addition, the Nasicournian Security Council has released the following statement in regards to the state of regional security:
*** Official Nasicournian Security Council Declaration ***
In response to the recent display of aggression committed by the People's Republic of the Pacific against Nasicournia , the Nasicournian Security Council has immediately raised the Nasicournian Threat Level to NTL Alef, the highest level possible. The provisions of NTL Alef include the following:
-- Regional borders (including those of Gateway to Nasicournia) have been secured from all incoming traffic by the NSC. Until further notice, nations will not be permitted to enter any Nasicournian region at risk of ejection. This provision will be enforced by the NSC without exception.
-- Regional recruitment has been temporarily suspended to comply with the above provision.
-- All regional departments have begun to scale back on nonessential tasks to combat the immanent threat.
As the long arm of Nasicournia, the Nasicournian Security Council will continue to live up to its mission as the defenders of the realm by ensuring that the region is secure and its citizens are safe. The Nasicournian Security Council thanks the citizens of Nasicournia for their cooperation and understanding during these troubling times.
Nations who have questions regarding this declaration or who wish to volunteer for the Nasicournian Security Council or NasiCorps should contact Majesto, the NSC Director.
