Hawaii

=Brief History=
The Kingdom of Hawaii became a United States protectorate in 1898 and remained a part of America through WWII. However, in the post war anti-Colonial movement, a referendum was held and independence was chosen instead of statehood. Queen Liliuokalani's line was elected to the throne at this point in a restoration.
During the years of US administration, Hawaii because a key Pacific trade hub, America's answer to British Singapore and Hong Kong. In the 1960s, after independence, massive offshore oil fields were discovered in Hawaii's Pacific claims and surrounding waters, making Hawaii one of the wealthiest nations on Earth per capita.
