Royal Governors of Hawaii (Principia Moderni IV Map Game)

The Royal Governors of Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian: Kiaʻaina) are high ranking members of Hawaiian society, usually a Hawaiian chief or prince, appointed by the king to rule over an individual island or region within the Kingdom of Hawaii in his name.

The position was formally created in 1722, when Kamehameha created two such offices; the governors of Maui, and O'ahu, respectively. The royal governors essentially act in a similar way to the Ali'i Nui of ancient times, who ruled individual island kingdoms, however, they are subordinate to the king.
