INTRODUCTION
Pacific Empire started as the largest artificial island constructed funded by the international community most especially by the Jaegar family. It was known as Project ATLANTIS with its capital city, Jaegar Kingdom, named after its greatest sponsor. This nation-island, who is ruled by the powerful Jaegar family, has declared its own independence as a country during the previous war but was still not internationally recognized as such. Known emperors of the empire were Bismark, Terence, and Rudolf Jaegar who all ordered the invasion of neighboring small countries and nearby islands in the Pacific to expand the nation's territory for they believed that their intense display of military power and strength would lead other nations and superpowers to recognize ATLANTIS as an independent nation. In 9 December 2010, their actions made ATLANTIS be recognized internationally as an independent nation but it also made ATLANTIS known as the Pacific Empire, although its citizens still refer to their beloved nation as ATLANTIS. Technically, Pacific Empire is composed of ATLANTIS, the main land, and its colonies. Currently Frank Jaegar is the emperor, and he is concentrating in empowering the economy, modernizing the entire community and reforming the government before boosting the military.
