Armaria first applied to join the New Pacific Order on October 29, 2009, the day his nation was created. Armaria originally considered joining The Grand Lodge of Freemasons, however their application process intimidated him. Waterana sent a recruiting message to Armaria and mentioned that the Order had a radio. This intrigued Armaria, and he applied to the Order. His application was approved on November 3, and Armaria entered the Imperial Academy. In the Academy he learned the ways of the Order as well as how to properly manage his nation and engage in war. Armaria also used this time to read the works of Vladimir on Francoism, briefly conversing with Vladimir about his ideas. Those ideas interested Armaria, and convinced him he was in the right alliance.
