June 20 2036: Hawaii Declares Independence
Hawaii has declared its independence and formalized a Free Association Agreement with Japan. This move is a response to the escalating geopolitical tensions and concerns about the security and sovereignty of the Hawaiian islands.
Key Points:
Declaration of Independence: Hawaii, in a historic announcement, has declared its independence from the United States. The decision stems from perceived inadequacies in the federal response to regional security concerns and a desire for greater autonomy.
Free Association Agreement with Japan: Following the declaration of independence, Hawaii has entered into a Free Association Agreement with Japan. This agreement encompasses various aspects, including economic cooperation, cultural exchanges, and, crucially, a commitment to Japan providing military protection to Hawaii.
