The Commonwealth of Hawaii, commonly referred to simply as Hawaii, is a constitutional monarchy in the North Pacific Ocean. The flag was changed back to the Kanaka Maoli flag in 1866. It was formerly named the Kingdom of Hawaii, but was renamed to the Commonwealth of Hawaii in mid-1868. As of 1875, it is one of four members of the Honolulu Pact.

Government[]
The government of the Commonwealth of Hawaii follows a democratic system, with similarities to both the systems of the United Kingdom and United States. The main person heading the nation and Parliament is the Prime Minister. In the Parliament, there are numerous delegates representing each province, and the monarch represents the monarchy.
Conquest of Tahiti[]
Hawaii invaded the Kingdom of Tahiti, but a ceasefire commenced after two failed invasions. When the invasion resumed in 1864, Tahiti was conquered and annexed by mid-1868. It was renamed the Province of 'Alihikaua, and in an agreement with France was granted autonomy.
