Tensions mount in Honolulu over revolution.
Honolulu, Hawaii- For months Honolulu has been irrelevant in global discussion. Being thrown out as just one of the 51 regions that the U.S. controls and a peaceful tropical paradise but things have drastically changed since the outbreak of the North American War. When war broke out Korbin King purchased a Q3 hospital for his city and needless to say many Americans flocked to Honolulu and it became the base of the U.S. military operations in Canada (despite being half way across the world).
Almost everything went through Hawaii, Pakistani soldiers made Honolulu their base as well when they joined the side of the Americans. Near the end of the war the population topped out at about 150 citizens. Hawaii quickly had become a pivotal part of the U.S. and soon Platonic, an Immigrant from Albany, declared Hawaii independent from the rest of the U.S.. It could of crippled the U.S. as at the time they were fighting a war with Canada and they could not afford to lose their Q3 hospital and give up a region to continue in fighting in a stalemate war.
Soon however a declaration of peace was signed ending the North American War. This was a huge blow for the future of Hawaii. Without the U.S. military preoccupied with Canada there would be no distraction and without the war the population of Honolulu quickly dropped as the Pakistanis went back home as did the Americans who moved to Hawaii for the war effort. Without them the continental U.S. grew its size advantage to nine times that of Hawaii and on average a four to one advantage of citizens online at any time.
The population has held steady for the past 24 hours at around 88 with immigrants from other countries coming in to balance the leaving population but how long this balance will last is uncertain. Many find it hard after the war and the economic crisis to afford a moving ticket. Some may also stay for the Q3 hospital but not be loyal to the rebellion. In the last Erepublik Insider it said that citizens in the revolting territory can fight for either the attacker (rebellion) or the defenders (controller) which may also be a hard factor for Honolulu to cope with. If they do successfully revolt then they wont have to deal with this problem however but it is not really their decision if they want to invade the U.S. or not.
Should the Hawaiians manage to successfully rebel in Hawaii and take control of the islands then the U.S. government gets to decide which is next. Once Hawaii is taken the U.S. government has to make a decision, do they wage war with Hawaii in hopes of taking back the state or do they let Hawaii be and not worry about them anymore? Depending on how the admins implement the system will greatly influence the outcome of the next decision, if Hawaii revolts then Hawaii would be said to be the attackers and thus the allied nations of the U.S. would join in however this is different then a conventional war and the alliances might be waived in the revolution.
If Hawaii becomes independent then they are done with the war. If they wanted to continue the war they would have to attack the U.S. and thus activate many mutual protection pacts and pave the way for the U.S. to reoccupy the islands. On the other hand the U.S. could declare war on Hawaii without activating any mutual protection pacts. The downside for the U.S. there is that if their offensive is repelled Hawaii has an open door to take west coast states. Their other option is to simply acknowledge Hawaii's independence and carry on.
The results for a victory of the U.S. in this revolution would be minimal, they would maintain their current ground and they would only weaken their productivity on both sides of their populace. If Hawaii is victorious the results for the U.S. are not as neutral. They would lose productivity but they would also lose one of their states and probably about 50 citizens, they also lose their Q3 hospital but they still would have two Q2 hospitals on the mainland one in Lincoln, Nebraska and the other in Sacramento, California.
Tomorrow will be the day of General elections in the U.S. and those elected will play a good role in what happens here. I send out a few Pms yesterday asking the four major presidential candidates and have only gotten a response back from Dish so I will wait another day for the other three to respond before I publish that article fully. This article is enough information for today in my opinion any way.

>This was a huge blow for the future of Hawaii.
I was asked to negotiate the damn peace treaty. I\'m pretty sure I was aware of it whilst planning Hawaii. So that kind of tears that idea of yours to pieces.
Other then that, good article. The paragraphs were coherent, which I\'ve learned to appreciate after reading stuff here for the past half-year.
Plat although you may of supported peace in North America, Hawaii\'s independence would of been undoubtedly much easier to obtain had the U.S. of had to fight two wars.
>>one of the 51 regions
I thought there were 50?
Then there is the District of Columbia (DC) as in Washington DC as an additional region.
Incorrect, Desert. It would have been harder. It would have been forced warfare, instead of the very likely scenario where Nave just lets it go.
^ I do not understand what you are saying, How could Hawaii not be at an advantage when their enemy has to fight two wars instead of just one?
Hes saying that Nave has adopted a \"Its there right bladda yadda yadda\"
must......get home.......must......impliment.....endgame........PRUSSIA
Think, Desert. You seem to think a revolution must occur.
If it was wartime, Nave will devote much more effort in order to secure that Q3 hospital in a time of great need. If it was not wartime, a hospital is not that big of a deal, and he has less reason to start a fight over it.
They would lose more wellness trying to take back the hospital then they would save. Its either a q3 hospital or lose alot of northern regions to Canada and thus not be able to have the citizens in those areas fight for the U.S.
I think the idea of hawaii as an independant sounds interesting.
What I don\'t know, is, what do you guys plan on doing different? How are you going to do business different than the US? Is there some gain (other than politcs and power) at play here? Are you trying to advance some plot, in order to end the mundane?
I\'m all for having a free country, but I\'m not getting what it buys other than a new playground for korbin and plat....
what am I missing?
and so you realize, that having only one region makes it that much harder to defend?
lol im stil here 😕
Wait...Hawaii is going to rebel?
Hawaii cannot rebel. It\'s not part of the game. The admin are adamantely against it. It\'s just a kind of ridiculous ploy from Platonic and Korbin. I\'m not doing much about it because there\'s no consquence of this, other than people making fools of themselves.
Nave is right, he is a big enough fool for all you americans.
Garp, and his magical tele-pathetic powers, have struck again.
Whats stupider, my comment or you commenting on my comment? Whatever stirs the pot i guess.
lol even Garp admits that responding to him is stupid........wait
feed me
Ok. That being said rebelling would be an interesting take on the game, it would be fun to aid in starting an economy from scratch
I\'d like to thank everyone for giving me not only the #1 rated article in Eamerica but both the #1 and #2 spot.
Yet still no one has answered my questions. Should I assume power trip then?
@ Nave - You lack imagination. Hawaii will make it\'s point. The fact that we can\'t click a button and isolate ourselves doesn\'t mean that we can\'t organize against principles that we don\'t believe in. All you can do is tax us along with everyone else.
@ ReverendVW - I don\'t have a detailed plan yet. I won\'t tip my hand until I have something solid. There are enough \"legal\" loopholes in this game to stage a scenario that would clearly separate any region from it\'s country of origin. If not physically, then spiritually and operationally.
...BTW, this whole game is a power trip, so yes.
