This is nonsense.
I'm getting a little tired of this nonsense, at that.
In foreign policy terms, I'm pretty sure The North Pacific has been a consistent ally of Taijitu's. We were nearly in lockstep on the Lazarus problem, without anyone needing to do any wheeling dealing. We were naturally on pretty much the same page.
Complaints about our alliance with The North Pacific consistently bring standards of similarity in organization and purpose that only one region can meet: Taijitu itself.
I don't know that St Oz has looked at any maps besides Taijitu's and TNP's recently. If he has, a sample size of 2 is not going to tell you much about how good their map is compared to oh any other region we have relations with, or any region at all.
Current TNP RP is no worse than this community's RP was in 2006-2008, I think. And TNP is actually relatively new to this whole active RP community thing.
Regarding cliquishness... If there's an "in crowd" in TNP I'd be in it, and yet Tomb crushed me handily in the previous Delegate election because I hadn't been as active. The Culture Ministry stuff is more complicated than people have made it out to be, and Funkadelia was not removed from office, he was removed from a particular case on the basis of a conceivable conflict of interest and resigned.
To call Tomb an Emperor right after the NPA and TaiMil worked closely together in removing the Emperor(s) of the "New Lazarene Order" is kind of ridiculous. Like Taijitu, TNP has a firm belief in democratic regional governance. TNP does it differently from us, but the core value is a common one, and this matters.
