Cross-Pacific Space Cooperation


The Cross Pacific Space Cooperation (CPSC) is an intergovernmental organisation that coordinates and promotes space research and technology. The purpose is to achieve together what the member states would not be able to do on their own. The CPSC was founded after the Great War when Ryccia and Sedunn decided to continue their joint rocket development program, but in a purely civilian form. In 1957 the other democracies on the continents around the South Pacific Ocean were invited to join.

The headquarters are located in Goends, Sedunn. The main rocket launch site is located in tbd, due to its proximity to the equator, and a back-up launch site is located in tbd. Some of the major research institutes are also located in the founding member nations.

OOC: If you have a democratic nation, feel free to join. You can join at any year you want, from 1957 until now. Just post the name of the nation and when it joined. Once the organisation of the CPSC has been fully figured out, other major research institutes and other centres will be distributed among members.

This thread is OOC.

Logo meaning

Dark blue represents space. The two converging lines represent joint efforts and streaks of smoke from rockets. The last line represents the atmoshpere.

Weisserstein, 1959

Kliegme, 1990

Both added!

May I join? I have a space program, and experimental defensive satellites

Is your nation democratic?

In RP and information about my nation, yes

In NationStates, still yes, although it’s a dictatorship

Good. Does the nation join now, or did it join earlier?

I’d say join now. The current president is in his second year (of a six-year term), and it trying to improve public relations.

You might want to look at this: NationStates | Dispatch | Parties

None of the details in it are final, I’ve found that everything evolves even as I write it.

Thank you!

Do semi-constitutional monarchies count?

I’d like to have Yttria (disregard any info provided for it from last time) join this again, I’m thinking 1972 would probably be a good year

Are there free and fair elections?

Yes, but the prime minister has the same amount of power as the ruling monarch.

Then it would be alright

Okay, then Akarina joined February 2nd 1966.

Wait, would my membership be suspended for temporarily giving most of the power to the ruling monarch during a crisis? (Because that’s just what I do)

People’s Republic of San Marsico, 1969

PRSM has 2 shuttles, and 3 reusable rockets for satellites. The PRSM mainly is a socialist-democratic country where all controversial decisions are covered by the People’s Party, and the citizen-based decisions are covered by the people.

Yes, and likely also due to the nuclear bombings
