**Hawaii,** Officially **The Kingdom of Hawaii,** is the smaller of the two nations of Oceania. It is a Unitary Constitutional Monarchy underneath the house of Kawānankoa who have recently been restored to the throne of Hawaii. Hawaii was thrown out of the Second American Civil War like many other territories but unlike the others Hawaii was able to secure its independence from Japan and other powers of the area, Hawaii boasts the Third most powerful navy in the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere and also holds the 6th strongest navy overall. Hawaii was proclaimed during the collapse of the United States of America and its kingdom was restored a few days later on March 17th 1937. Hawaii did see action during the Second Weltkrieg as it and the Philippines were tasked with capturing most of the German Possessions in the Pacific. Hawaii is a member of the G.E.A.C.P.S and is its main diplomat towards the Americas given that Hawaii has a lot of English Speakers.

## History

1936 Hawaii was in an interesting position compared to the rest of the United States of America. As a territory its people couldn't vote for who was in charge back at home and they were tied to the whims of Washington. When Garner was elected the people of Hawaii were indifferent as they did not care who won as long as it helped them. But the situation on the mainland became extremely tenuous at best and there was little that the Hawaii's could do in trying to stop the collapse of America. When the collapse came Hawaii's native population rebelled and with the support of anti-war citizens they were able to declare Hawaii an independent state. And as people where beginning to try and flee the nation before the war started, Hawaii became the perfect spot for refugees looking for a more tropical climate. However they would be shocked to learn that the Hawaiians did not support the same style of society that the Americans held as one of the decedents of the Hawaiian royal house was able to secure power and restore the Hawaiian monarchy underneath a constitutional system. This would come with a wide array of reforms in an attempt to retain the old culture of Hawaii as Hawaii began looking towards the outside would quite quickly. It was well known that Japan wanted the isles but soon it became clear that their goals for retaining cultural identity aligned with each other. Hawaii then asked Japan if it may join the G.E.A.C.P.S, the Japanese where quite shocked with this development as it would allow them to get Hawaii's large naval force, witch was captured from America, peacefully and use it for future wars. Japan accepted on the condition that Hawaii would join any war that Japan wished it to and the Hawaii's accepted this arrangement believing that it would secure their independence in these trying times. While Hawaii did not believe that it would ever have to make up on this arrangement it became clear in 1942 that Japan was going to do something. Then came in the message from the Southeast Asian resistance movements who wished to use Japanese naval power to try and force independence. Hawaii would end up being assigned to capture the former French Polynesia where a large German naval fleet lay, unable to return home and help due to Entente control over the Panama Canal. When the day came it came quickly with Hawaiian vessels seizing several key islands and also capturing Tahiti and the German Vessels. This would be all of the action that Hawaiian troops would see with only the occasional military interaction with German submarines and destroyers. This would continue on until 1947 with the signing of the Treaty of Singapore. The Treaty granted Hawaii full sovereignty and also granted Hawaii special resource rights over most of the Pacific being able to fish in waters farther than most would believe allowed. Hawaii's future seems to be that of relative peace but not prosperity as tensions rise across the world, the Hawaiians have little to offer aside from their navy.

## Military

The Hawaiian military is weak in some aspects and very strong in terms of others. Hawaii's Army is small but capable of large scale amphibious landings witch it is able to do quite quickly. But most of Hawaii's strength comes from its navy witch comprises over half of the United States' pre-war navy. This navy has rocketed what should be an inconsequential nation into a true power on the waves. And with such a navy, Hawaii has a sizable air force witch is capable of things that would make any nation think twice before believing that Hawaii is weak.
