Never gave it much thought...

I have never given Hawaii much thought. For all my life, Hawaii has been a part of the United States. That's just the way it is.
That is until I was doing some painting for this amusing legless Irish man in a senior citizen's home.
While I was painting, he was watching an old black and white film about the seizing of Hawaii. I have no idea what the movie was and I'm sure much of it was over dramatized for the film. However, what I heard that afternoon was chilling. Here we have a proud, independent nation that was basically stolen from it's citizens.
I will admit that I still don't know that much about the whole affair. What I do know leads me to believe that you were robbed. Your nation was stolen from you. Your queen at the time literally had no choice but to acquiesce or watch her people and her nation be decimated by American troops.
Fortunately for you there is a solution should you choose to take it. Now that you're a member of the United States, you are constitutionally permitted to secede from the Union. What's better is that you don't need Federal approval to do so.
From what I see you have the financial resources to make it as an independent nation.
The following isn't meant as a threat. Just something to consider. If you do decide to take this route you will be giving up any protection afforded you by being part of the Union. I don't see this as a major issue though. Your geographic location helps greatly with protecting your borders.
