Significance of the Supremacy of the Emperor, of the Imperial Officers and of every Superior within the New Pacific Order

Democracy – the Best Form of Government?
"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government". – Thomas Jefferson

Alliances which are characterized by democracy delight themselves in the advantage of this form of government, since many members participate in legislature and decisions of significance. Laws are based on the contribution of each member and active members help willingly to shape their alliance in this manner. Nevertheless, and this shall be added, democracy demands discipline and patience from all sides involved. The division of powers is furthermore a great matter as there is always a person of contact if a need for them comes up. In addition, the governmental influence and power are evenly distributed onto all members of the government, so that no one is in danger to get overwhelmed or corrupted by the abundance of power. Despite all that, one has to visualize the less positive aspects at the same time which are connected with democracy.

The Advantage of an Absolute Sovereign
"A statesman is a politician who places himself at the service of the nation. A politician is a statesman who places the nation at his service". -Georges Pompidou

A democracy par excellence can never react on occuring events which might be posing a threat to an alliance. When their enemies were at the gates the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city. It wasn't considered an honor, it was considered a public service. The NPO confides this honorable and solemn public service to the Emperor who, according to the tradition, is appointed by his predecessor. The Emperor makes decisions and acts for the common good of Pacifica and it’s the Emperor, who shall be in control of all the power, in order to fulfill the obligation of the office conscientiously. And for that reason, the character of the Emperor shall show goodness and affection towards the Body Republic, moreover, respect and righteousness, always clear on the responsibility and burden of the office. The Regent and the Imperial Officer support the Emperor in any way possible. Every Pacifican has to contribute with sincere respect and obedience towards their government in order to support them properly and so that they can act in everyone’s interest; any doubt regarding the righteousness and qualification of them is inapropriate.

The Family
"In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government". -Thomas Carlyle

If one figures the NPO to oneself as an extended family, then one has to picture the Emperor as father and the Imperial Officers as well as each superior as older brothers and sisters. It might be that one isn’t of the same mind all the time and there might be arguments here and then; however, it’s the family one belongs to. A family sticks together, a family takes care for every member, a family lives under the same roof.

The Virtues of the Government
Neither the Emperor, nor the Regent, neither the Imperial Officers, nor the other superiors can simply elude the demands which are required to fulfill their duties adequately. They aren’t just decision-makers and people with power, but good and humble servers of the public. Not fulfilling one’s duty with this in mind means to fail one’s office. It’s a misunderstanding if one is of the opinion that looking admirably at one’s tags is reasons enough to officiate and bear the burden which is connected with each office.

Affection, clemency, patience and politeness are the key words and the virtues which a good Pacifican government needs. On the other hand, every Pacifican has to be patient and polite, obedient and respectful. In the entire history, has there ever been an army winning a battle through insubordination and defiance? In the entire history, have there ever been admirals and generals inspiring their soldiers through malignancy and violence? Those soldiers perform their very best who are pleased with their admirals and generals and those admirals and generals are the very best who inspire everyone under their command. Exactly such armies tend to be victorious which have inspiring men at the top and inspired men on the front line.

Representing the Emperor
The Regent and the Imperial Officers speak and act on behalf of the Emperor and they indeed represent the authority of the Emperor. Doubting, yes, challenging the veracity of this matter of fact means to challenge and doubt the authority of the Emperor himself. Maybe one can’t approve of this word or that action, nevertheless, one shall not doubt and challenge them publicly nor the reasoning behind any kind of decision. It’s exactly the same with each superior who likewise represents the authority of the Emperor and therefore has to be treated as if they were the Emperor themselves. On the other hand, every superior must be ready and willing to answer any question a member of Pacifica might have, be it a problem with a recently made decision or anything else, just as well as every Pacifican has to be ready and willing to seek talks with their superiors, if there is a problem.

The Emperor – One Choice Voice
Fierce battles were fought and the ferociously shouting voices of officers commanding their soldiers were heard in the very first days of Pacifica’s genesis. The fog of war arose and it lifted extremely seldom. Many loyal and gallantly fighting soldiers fell victim to the wartime atrocities. Hostile powers may have taken the life of our much-loved first Emperor FrancosSpain but no power will ever take the freedom of Pacifica. As long as there is an Emperor as Guardian of the sacred tradition of the glorious past, Pacifica will have good prospects.

The Emperor is the coronated Head of a tradition dating back to the first days of Planet Bob. Whensoever the Emperor adresses an audience or delivers a speech, then he speaks on behalf of Pacifica herself as the highest Representative of the New Pacific Order. It’s the Emperor who is the one and choice voice of Pacifica, honoring the tradition, protecting each single Pacifican, conveying the good message and vouching for the truth of the Pacifican Light which each Emperor bears in the mind and deep in the heart.

Long live FrancoSpain’s legacy! Long live the NPO! Long live the Emperor!
