Once a state of the USA during its height, Hawai'i quietly declared independence just as the violence of the Risings was reaching its peak and what was left of the continental authorities were unable to prevent it. Hawai'i managed to use its resources to protect its population centers from the worst of the rising seas and invested heavily in aquaculture to replace its disappearing farmlands.

Today, the Kingdom of Hawai'i is a wealthy, peaceful harbor, profiting from the trade between the APEC, GOTO and CEHO Common Markets, and a leader in aquaculture, adding to the Island Kingdom's prosperity. A number of major international corporations have significant presences in Hawai'i, including PWFB, the Inari Group, Global Resources Lmt, Amanhã Co, Kebun Kretek, Hale Media, Mazu Shipping and others.

While on paper Hawai'i is ruled by the constitutional monarchy of the Second Line of Kalākaua, in reality the Chow-Kane Family, cousins to the royal family, dominates the Islands. The matriarch of the Chow-Kanes, old Lailani Harouna, is referred to as 'Proprietor of Hawai'i' for owning more than half of the real estate in the kingdom, which gives her, personally, direct control over the House of Landowners. She is the aunt of the current Prime Minister (himself a part of the Kane family and second largest shareholder in the House of Landowners) and the family owns major shipping concerns throughout the islands, making the Kingdom more or less the families' personal property.
