Kingdom of Hawai'i

Hawaiʻi, officially the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi is a sovereign independent state located in the Northern Pacific Ocean. It consists of 137 islands and 7 "main" populated, of which are, from northwest to southeast, Niʻhau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lanaʻi, Mauʻi, and Hawaiʻi Island. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, and, with a population of at least 1,428,051, it is the second-most populated, only behind New Zealand. As the population of the country documented as 94,713,465 people, it is the 14th largest country in the world in terms of population. It is aforementioned that it is colossal in its area.

Though the British explorer James Cook was the first European to contact the Hawaiʻian archipelago, there was already a large population colonizing the island, who migrated from Tahiti to the islands in roughly 1000 CE.

When Kamehameha the Great united the Hawaiʻian Islands in 1795, he made many efforts to establish the islands as a British protectorate, predicting future Western colonization into the region. Though this would make the Colonization of the Pacific begin at an earlier time, it would protect Hawaiʻi from future European conquest.

After playing a key part in Allied victory against Japan in the Second World War, the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was rewarded with independence in 1952 as a constitutional monarchy, becoming the first non-Commonwealth country in the continent to achieve full independence from a colonial power.

Its capital and largest city is Honolulu on the island O'ahu. Its official languages are Hawaiʻian and English.

Kamehameha the Great
Prior to 1795, Hawaiʻi was filled with a collection of warring chiefdoms ruled by seperate Ali'i (chiefs). However, upon the death of his uncle Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the chiefdom was split between him and his cousin Kīwalaʻō, as he was granted guardianship of the war god Kūkāʻilimoku and control of the Waipi'o Valley, while Kīwalaʻō was given the rest of the chiefdom. War would begin between the heirs of the House of Keōua, and eventually, with the assistance of the gods, Kamehameha would secure the entire island of Hawaiʻi under his rule. With the assistance of two Europeans; Isaac Davis and John Young, he would eventually conquer the rest of the island chain after a 28-year-long campaign. Due to this help, and in partial research of European colonization, Kamehameha negotiated to become a British protectorate, and, in 1802, his wish would finally be achieved, as the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi became a protectorate of the British Empire.

World War II
Though Hawaiʻi was indirectly involved with World War II, no major operations would conduct until December 7, 1941. On that day, Imperial Japanese airships would attack the American-owned port on O'ahu, Pearl Harbor. Due to the region of the port owned by the United States being small, much spillover would occur; culminating in an attack on Honolulu itself. This would cause a massive increase of Hawaiʻian revanchism and military presence, with Hawaiʻian soldiers being key in retaking many Japanese-occupied territories, most notably the Philippines and Guam, where roughly 37% of the Allied soldiers were citizens of Hawaiʻi. It was due to these efforts that Hawaiʻi would gain independence from the British Empire in 1952.

Apartheid
After the independence of Hawaiʻi was achieved, there was much confusion and debate on whether to become a republic or remain a monarchy. Despite being an absolute monarch herself, Queen Liliʻuokalani II would have no desire to remain one, and quickly implemented a parliament to achieve balance between the two political factions. However, this parliament was heavily divided between racial lines, and quickly, ethnically English politicians began a corrupt campaign to divide the parliament. This would cause Englishmen, already a powerful minority, to gain the highest point of social and political power. Though the House of Kamehameha made attempts to stop the spread of their influence, these statements were censored by the parliament of the country. Eventually, under pressure of the United Nations and threats of civil uprisings, the Hawaiʻian parliament was reformed into a system of coalitions which encouraged diverse thinking within the system in 1970. In celebration of the final remnants of colonialism being dissolved, the Union Jack was removed from the Flag of Hawaiʻi in 1971.

Present day
