If Hawaiian natives were to declare their independence from the "good ol' USA" it would not really bother me. Frankly they have a good case that the invasion and overthrow of their Kingdom was unjust. That being said, there would be a good likelihood that some country or another would decide to take it by force in short order. Being such a strategic place in the middle of a vast ocean has its .... drawbacks. How fast would those same elites abandon [THEIR] dream paradise if the area was the center of a major battle.
