Hawaii

The Kingdom of Hawaii  (Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi) is a nation located on a group of islands in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

History
The islands have been a stop for dragons crossing the Pacific for millennia. Ancient Xodan carvings have been found on Kahoʻolawe, dating to 4000 BC.

The first humans to arrive at the islands were migrants from the Marquesas Islands around 300 AD, arriving on Oahu. They quickly set up petty kingdoms.

As the humans spread amongst the eight isles, a number of Pulk dragons began to migrate to the area. Thus began the Hawaiian Dragon Wars, as dragon-ruled kingdoms fought each other over control of the area. The eventual winner was Kuhur of Oahu.

Arrival of Europeans
The first Europeans to arrive in Hawaii were English, under the command of Captain James Cook. Cook met with Kuhur, and they worked out a trade deal. The Hawaiians would give Cook pineapples and native art, the Europeans would give the Hawaiians guns.

A few years later, Cook returned. This visit was much less amicable, as Cook began taking temple idols for "firewood". In return, the Hawaiians stole one of Cook's boats. Cook then kidnapped the human regent, and so Kuhur drowned Cook and all of his sailors.

Demographics
Hawaiians are predominantly Polynesian, but in recent years large numbers of immigrants have come from Mexico and Japan. It is also a somewhat popular retirement destination for Americans and Oregonians.

The predominant language is Hawaiian, but there are also large populations of Nahuatl and Japanese speakers, especially in the bigger cities.

Religion
Most Hawaiians follow a native pagan faith. Due to immigration, Aztec paganism, Shintoism, and Christianity are also practiced.

Economy
The Hawaiian economy is heavily agricultural and based on nature, as well as a large tourism sector. Each of the eight major islands has one major industry. Tourism is also popular on every island, except for Kahoolawe.
