About the Government
Principality of New Pacific is looking for Ambassadors to all countries.
Welcome to The Principality of New Pacific. This website provides you with information on The Principality of New Pacific
and its affairs, business, tourism and culture. The Principality of New Pacific is a legitimate, functioning, and currently a
non-territorial New Nation Project (micronation) that possesses immanent, virtual global sovereignty. We are located in
the southern island of Mindanao, Philippines. We are not a separatist or secessionist movement but we seek to form a
community that will effectively simulate a nation, until a time sovereign land can be obtained.
Our goal is to build a community of like minded individuals who do not rely on an accident of birth or geography to define
themselves as compatriots, but instead share a common belief in the values of libertarianism, freedom and self-determination.
Foreign policy:
*New Pacific is a sovereign nation and bears no preconceived ill-will against any other nationality or country;
*We do not believe in war, however we do maintain a credible and deterrent military defence;
*We must promote and work for good relations with our neighbours in all spheres;
*We are friends with all those who wish to be friends with us;
*We work to maintain a secure and peaceful environment in the new nation project, micronational, and established national communities;
*We work to maintain a free and open multilateral trading system;
*We are ready to trade with any state for mutual benefit and will maintain a free market economy;
Soveriegn Land Project:
New Pacific Company is raising funds to purchase a ro/ro ferry ship, or a
cruise ship, that will be used as a temporary home for New Pacific citizens, and become
our sovereign territory while construction work is being completed on our reef project.
Until New Pacific can declare statehood, the New Pacific Capital ship will be
registered under a flag of convenience, and act as an autonomous region (If not in international waters).
The New Pacific Reef Project is dedicated to the goal of establishing a new country named The Principality of New Pacific.
This country will be devoted to the value of freedom and become the first libertarian country.
New Pacific location will first exist as a sea city in the Central Pacific Ocean.
As no nation is likely to sell us the land we need, we will build an island out of concrete, steel and dredged material.
New Pacific has located 3 possible reef locations, they are submerged under water between 3-6 feet.
At this point, the organization behind this new country (New Pacific Co. President John Prisco), is building the
necessary financial resources to pay for material needed and for a Ro Ro/ Cruise-ferry ship to be used as the
living/ working area for the citizens of New Pacific, prior to the completed project.
The current administration is now located in the Philippines, on the island of Mindanao, near
the city of Davao. The main source of income comes from fishing vessels, trading with local villiages,
selling of handmade baskets, rugs and native jewelery, an online marketing work force, low cost labor, farming,
and exporting various products found in the Philippines.
His excellency Prince John Joseph Prisco III, is the ruling Prince of New Pacific, and upholds the simple constitution
that provides New Pacific citizens with libertarian freedoms. After the population reaches 300+ elections for The National
Council, The Board of Directors, and The Census Tribunal will be held.
