A simple topographic map where I actually got too lazy to give it some finishing touches... But it still looks nice regardless, and I wanted to finish it before the start of next week.

The basic premise is that the Kingdom of Hawaii during its decline period gets partitioned between the British and the Americans, with the US getting Oahu and everything west of it, while the British establish a protectorate over the eastern portion of the kingdom. They establish a protectorate over a rump kingdom ruled initially by Kalakaua, and direct colonial administration over the port of Hilo and the island of Lana'i. Colonial Hawai'i prospered, and the British administration continued to import labor to work in the sugar and fruit plantations, though they shifted towards the usage of Indian laborers instead of Filipinos or Japanese, who made up the majority of the workforce. Due to these developments a sizable Indo-Hawaiian community emerged, similar to the Indo-Fijians further south. Upon its independence in 1980 the Kingdom of Hawaii was seen as a beacon of multiculturalism, with citizens of European, East Asian, South Asian, and Polynesian descent all living together, and communicating with each other using both the native Hawaiian language and English.

The American portion of the Sandwich Islands was merged with a selection of other small colonies in the Pacific and named Pacificia in an effort to undermine the native identity of the people of Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. White American settlement was encouraged, and significant numbers of Japanese, Filipino, and Chinese workers were still brought to the islands, and some were allowed to settle there, too. By 1908 the majority of the population of the Pacificia Territory was Asian. In 1959 Pacificia was partitioned to form the state of Honolulu, containing on the American Sandwich Islands and the Northern Line Islands, while the remainder of the territory was turned into several tiny unincorparted territories. Today Honolulu, which confusingly shares its name with its capital, has a population of just under one million people, with only six percent of the population being of Polynesian ancestry, compared to the twenty percent in the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Hawaii, in terms of diplomacy, is close to the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Samoa, Fiji, India, Tonga, and Bengal. Due to family ties relations with individuals living in the State of Pacificia exist and are economically important, however diplomatic relations with the US government are complicated, but both nations have exchanged ambassadors. Hawaii has recently recalled its ambassador to Australia after a recent controversy in which a Hawaiian citizen on a business trip died while detained in the custody of Australian immigration officials.
