The '''Federated Alliance of Free Pacific States''' is a [[wikipedia:federalism|federal]] [[wikipedia:presidential_system|presidential]] [[wikipedia:constitutional_republic|constitutional republic]] comprising five states and a federal district. The nation is situated in [[Southeast_Yasteria|Southeast]] [[Yasteria]], just South of [[Packilvania]], and just North of [[Peregrinia]]. The Federated Alliance shares a land [[wikipedia:border|border]] with [[Packilvania]] and the [[Lyon Republic]], though the Free Pacific States is largely comprised of an [[wikipedia:archipelago|archipelago]]. The nation has a [[wikipedia:tropical_climate|tropical climate]]. The Federated Alliance is amongst the most highly populated nations on [[Urth]] with approximately 148,002,729 persons inhabiting its 1,697,400 square kilometers (648,419 square miles).
 
The Federated Alliance traces its origins from the [[Alliance of Free Pacific States]], a military pact formed in 1919 by Codex, Kaoghon, Tilden, and West Astryon following the [[The Great War]]. These four [[wikipedia:colonialism|colonial]] [[wikipedia:great_power|powers]] sought to avoid another conflict, to promote trade, and to provide a united front given the rising influence of [[Astryon]], [[Fortuna]] and [[Sorentavia]]. The alliance successfully defeated Packilvania in 1946 in the Second Free Pacific War, but only after years of fighting that left all belligerants in ruins. Codex, Kaoghon, and West Astryon joined Tilden as [[wikipedia:democracy|democracies]] in the late 1940s, and [[wikipedia:democratic_socialism|democratic socialists]] dominated elections in the early 1950s. These socialists pushed for greater unity within the alliance in the 1950s and 1960s, while also granting independence to numerous colonies because of war weariness. West Astryon joined the alliance in 1963 and changed its name to Peylenon. The socialists proposed a full unification in 1966, and in 1968, voters approved the [[Constitution of the Federated Alliance of Free Pacific States]].
