OU/NAC- Hawaii? Re: Achmaenid Persian Empire

The concept doesn't sound too bad, but its not exactly what I had in
mind -
I was aiming more for NRE level of galactic superpower, which is almost
completely incompatible with standard GZGverse ;)

Well, I've never hidden my discomfort with the NRE, but definitely
considered
it in the 'different strokes' country. I'd say go for it.

As an aside, I don't recall seeing, and don't have the books here, but
has
anyone suggested what would happen to Hawaii? Trying to sort out most of
the
former US States is a bit of a yawn to me, but this seems to be
something
that would be more challenging.

My impression is that many Hawaiians, even the separatists (yes, there
are
some) have fond feelings towards Britain, so UK 'protection' would be a
good thing, but an OU might be very tempting.

As for the separatist movement, I recently found a t-shirt with the
supposed
seal of the sovereign state of Hawaii, much to the chagrin of a friend
of
Portuguese descent from Hawaii, and think it would look interesting on a
fleet
of ships. Even if it is busy enough to require a large flat surface on
the
ship. ;->=

Anybody else give this thought?
