Dear Pacificans,
with a tiny delay of just seven months, I can finally announce to you the results of the votes on the list of permanent nations. The votes were hugely unanimous apart from a handful of countries, which I will point out below.
The following countries were voted on to gain or lose a permanence status. Please note that if your country has been demoted and thus lost its status of permanence or maybe wasn’t even considered to gain a permanence status, this doesn’t mean your nation doesn’t matter or we are ungrateful for your activity in this community. It’s only that we currently have not seen an overall significance to the common core lore of Pacifica of this particular nation. This might change in the future again, especially the more interwoven and detailed Pacifican history gets.

Special decisions
In some cases, the vote was inconclusive or a nation’s status was dependent on whether the status of another nation was (dis)approved. In those cases, the most lenient option was considered the result of the vote.
Kai Fa - Tie - Result: Full permanence reapproved - Reason: Reizen Civil War
Spiras - Unanimously voted to be demoted, but remains referentially significant due to the decision taken for UKED - Reason for significance: UKED history
UKED (incl. Cimbria, New Emral) - Tie - Result: Referential significance reapproved - Reason: Great War, Pacifican history
The map will be changed as follows due to these results:
- Antarcha will be removed due to failing the activity check
