Empire of Hawaii

The Empire of Hawaii is an archipelago nation located in Polynesia that consists of 137 volcanic islands spanning 1,500 miles (2,400 km) that are physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania with the colonial territories in Melanesia, the regions of Australia known as Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, West Guinea, Papua New Guinea. Hawaii is the strongest Naval power in Oceania and it has a vast and powerful navy that it inherited from America.
==History==
===Early History===
In ancient Hawaiʻi, society was divided into multiple classes. At the top of the class system was the aliʻi class with each island ruled by a separate aliʻi nui. All of these rulers were believed to come from a hereditary line descended from the first Polynesian, Papa, who would become the earth mother goddess of the Hawaiian religion. Captain James Cook became the first European to encounter the Hawaiian Islands, on his third voyage (1776–1780) in the Pacific. He was killed at Kealakekua Bay on the island of Hawaiʻi in 1779 in a dispute over the taking of a longboat. Three years later the island of Hawaiʻi was passed to Kalaniʻōpuʻu's son, Kīwalaʻō, while religious authority was passed to the ruler's nephew, Kamehameha.
The warrior chief who became Kamehameha the Great, waged a campaign lasting 15 years to unite the islands. He established the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1795 with the help of western weapons and advisors, such as John Young and Isaac Davis. Although successful in attacking both Oʻahu and Maui, he failed to secure a victory in Kauaʻi, his effort hampered by a storm and a plague that decimated his army. Eventually, Kauaʻi's chief swore allegiance to Kamehameha (1810). The unification ended the ancient Hawaiian society, transforming it into an independent constitutional monarchy crafted in the traditions and manner of European monarchs. The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi thus became an early example of the establishment of monarchies in Polynesian societies as contacts with Europeans increased. Similar political developments occurred (for example) in Tahiti, Tonga and New Zealand.
===First Kingdom===
The First Kingdom was formed in 1795, when the warrior chief Kamehameha the Great, of the independent island of Hawaiʻi, conquered the independent islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi and unified them under one government. In 1810, the whole Hawaiian archipelago became unified when Kauaʻi and Niʻihau joined the Hawaiian Kingdom voluntarily. Two major dynastic families ruled the kingdom: the House of Kamehameha and the House of Kalākaua.
The kingdom won recognition from the major European powers. The United States became its chief trading partner and watched over it to prevent some other power (such as Britain or Japan) from threatening to seize control. Hawaiʻi was forced to adopt a new constitution in 1887 when King Kalākaua was threatened with violence by the Honolulu Rifles, an anti-monarchist militia, to sign it. Queen Liliʻuokalani, who succeeded Kalākaua in 1891, tried to abrogate the 1887 constitution and promulgate a new constitution but was overthrown in 1893, largely at the hands of the Committee of Safety, a group of residents consisting of Hawaiian subjects and foreign nationals of American, British and German descent, many of whom had been educated in the US, had lived there for a time. Hawaiʻi was an independent republic until the U.S. annexed it through the Newlands Resolution, which was passed on July 4, 1898, to create the Territory of Hawaii. Hawaii was a territory from 1898 all the way to 1959 in which Hawaii became a State of the USA. Hawaii was a state all the way to 1990 when the USA was nuked by Cuba.
===Second Kingdom===
After the fall of the United States when they balkanized after Washington D.C was destroyed by a Nuclear attack by Cuba after the US itself nuked the Soviets, Hawaii became an independent Kingdom as Prince Edward Kawānanakoa had taken control as the new leader and restored the monarchy as he was crowned Kamehameha VI. The restoration of the monarchy was met with cheers from the Hawaiian populace. Sadly the King later on in 1997 had died and after his death the new King, Quentin Kawānanakoa was crowned King Kamehameha VII of Hawaii. His coronation was a scandal as his brother David was seen as the heir to their father. He married Elizabeth Broun, a Barbados native who fled the country after it was annexed by the United Syndicalist States of the West Indies. The two after the marriage and coronation ceremony, gave birth to two sons which resulted in heirs to take the throne of Hawaii.
Hawaii had after building themselves a navy by taking ships that were formerly part of America's Naval fleet in the Pacific had a vast Navy. Sadly hordes of Asians fleeing the destruction of Iran's expansionism in South Asia had resulted in a refugee crisis. This resulted in Hawaii conquering other Islands in the Pacific and annexing them under the banner of Hawaii as a way to populate them with the refugees. After the annexation of many islands, Hawaii changed their name from the Kingdom of Hawaii to Hawaiian Empire.
===Australian Conquest===
Hawaii had formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Thailand and the Heavenly Empire of China called the Tiānshàng de Jūnwáng Pact (or TJP for short). Japan and its allies in Asia had established the Democracy for Asia Organization and its allies of Manchuria, Imperial Russia, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Katipunan. Hawaii nervous about being cut out of the TJP alliance had decided to invade Australia which resulted in a war that resulted in bloody massacures, murders, assaults and rape against various Australian people in order to ruthlessly subjigate them into submission. Japan after this decided to condemn Hawaii for its actions, but Hawaii blamed Japan for creating an alliance that made it impossible for it and its allies to maintain contact with each other in order to "control all of Asia". Japan said that it had the intention from stopping Imperial China, Thailand and Imperial Hawaii from invading weak countries in Asia and installing regimes that the people hate in order to prevent the three in doing the same thing that Iran had done.
This tension with Japan must be handled or it could cause trouble for the Great Hawaiian Empire which won't be good, especially if the Hawaiian Empire is trying to stay the dominant power of the Pacific. This would also be a personal crisis for Emperor Quetin Kawānanakoa as he would lose popularity as Hawaii's Emperor which could result in his archrival Onawa Salzar ousting him to become Queen of Hawaii and it would result in Australia gaining it's independence from Hawaii.
==Government==
Hawaii is a Semi-Constitutional Monarchy which is ruled by an Emperor who has the power of an autocrat and can make laws and appoint Prime Ministers, but his power is curbed by the Imperial Diet who will not allow the Emperor to make decisions unless they approve the decision with a majority vote allowing it. The Imperial Diet is divided into two branches, the House of Nobles which is the executive branch and the House of Representatives which is the Legislative Branch.
===House of Nobles===
The members of the upper House of Nobles (Hale ʻAhaʻōlelo Aliʻi) are appointed by the Monarch with the advice of his Privy Council. It also serves as the court of impeachment for any royal official. Members are usually Hawaiian aliʻis, nobles, and royal or wealthy individuals. The position has no salary. It consists of the Emperor or Empress plus five women and ten men and many officials from mainland.
===House of Representatives===
The members of the lower House of Representatives (Hale ʻAhaʻōlelo Makaʻāinana) are elected by popular vote from several districts in the Kingdom (and the overseas territories of the Empire itself). Revenue-oriented bills were issued through the House of Representatives, and it also served as the "grand inquest" of the Kingdom.
