Prelude

It was the middle of the year 2007 – a tragic year that brought great change in the current decade. The United States of America continued its' war on terror with continued sanctions against Iraq, who had recently become engulfed in a civil war. Iran and North Korea became even greater threats to the US, and as the months passed a new era began that brought a new type of Cold War, this time between the US and mainly Iran. President Bush became more aggressive with the war on terror, and in return the people of the United States came together in protest. Several issues divided the nation, which in turn put an even greater strain on the economy. With threat of nuclear attack on American soil, the masses began moving out – to Canada, the UK, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Hawaii and Alaska. Cities with vast immigrant population were desolate – most notably Los Angeles, whose people found refuge in a new Mexican state.

The months continued – the nation in despair.

There was no real official response from the US Government – however the President said in an interview the next day that the government had recognized Hawaii's independence. On July 3, a plot to bomb the White House was discovered, and the building evacuated. That night, the FBI discovered a bomb was in place, which exploded at midnight, destroying the White House and killing 17 members of the bomb squad. All July 4 activities were officially cancelled, and the country slowly fell into darkness…

The Republic of Hawaii, led by President Haleakala, prospered. A burgeoning economy created new industries, and jobs were filled by an influx of American immigrants. Honolulu soon became nicknamed the jewel of the Pacific.

However, one thing stood in the way of Hawaii's continued prosperity. The Republic of Greater East Asia demanded say in Hawaii's government and threatened military action if the Republics' demands were not met. President Haleakala had no choice, and several reforms were passed. Hawaii was soon on the path of becoming a totalitarian state, and was already known among the international community as a satellite state of Greater East Asia. Among the reforms, the Millennium Educational Reform Act, to be implemented June 1, 2008, where the first class of unlucky students will take part in the program...
