From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The micronation of Pacifica was created by a small group of high school students living in the Portuguese city of Porto on June 12, 1998. Its effectiveness in the achievement of its main alleged objective - the promotion of Portuguese culture - remains unclear, as the only manifestation of Pacifica's existence to date is a website.
The Empire of Pacifica claims to be a "State of the World seeking recognition from the International Community". Its web page describes it as "primarily non-territorial", although there is no evidence to suggest that it possesses any territory at all. This specific point prevents Pacifica from being considered a state according to the generally accepted definition outlined in the Montevideo Convention. It is also not a state according to the constitutive theory of statehood, as it has not been recognised by other states.
Like other micronations, Pacifica has several ancillary features of a state, including a flag, a coat-of-arms, a national anthem, a constitution, a "declaration of independence", a motto ("By Serving Each Other and God...We Shall Be Free"), and a currency. The micronation was originally ruled by Manuel Correia da Fonseca as "His Magnanimous Imperial Majesty Dom Manuel I", and is Eduardo de Lagrenge as "His Imperial Majesty Dom Eduardo I."
