On July 6th, 2006, the Social Democratic-controlled House and Senate passed the Secondary Language Act, which required all Pacífican students to know one of the three minority languages (German, Spanish, or Chinese) before applying to college. This caused outrage among parents and students, since many non-bilingual students were denied college acceptance. This led the [[Student Strike of 2006]], which was when over 100,000 students and teachers walked out of class to protest the new act. With the House and Senate refusing to repeal the act, [[James I of Pacífica|King James I]] used his royal privilege to repeal the act, boosting his popularity with younger people. The House and Senate's refusal to repeal would lead to a Conservative legislative victory in 2008. | On July 6th, 2006, the Social Democratic-controlled House and Senate passed the Secondary Language Act, which required all Pacífican students to know one of the three minority languages (German, Spanish, or Chinese) before applying to college.

In March of 2014, members of the Islamic terror group Al-Shigog conducted a mass shooting in {{w|San Bernardino}}, [[Inland Valley]], resulting in over ten deaths. In response, Pacífica increased its role in the [[War in the Middle East]]. Later in the same year, Mexico dropped all its claims to the Pacífican states that were previous Mexican territory before World War II. In April of 2018, however, Mexican President [[Manuel Rodrigo]], a nationalist and anti-Americanist, reclaimed Sonora and Nuevo Mexico as part of Mexico, starting the [[Mexican Reclamation Crisis]]. | In March of 2014, members of the Islamic terror group Al-Shigog conducted a mass shooting in {{w|San Bernardino}}, [[Inland Valley]], resulting in over ten deaths.
