What is the Nation of Hawaii?

The mission of the Nation of Hawaii is to restore the lands of Hawaii to the benefit of Hawaiian people, and create a heart-first approach to capitalism. This will facilitate the evolution of a tax-friendly nation that fosters commerce, trade, and sustainable innovation in the middle of the Pacific.

The Nation of Hawaii is a fully functioning nation-state operating from the island of Oahu, on lands granted to it by the State of Hawaii, and has been recognized as a sovereign entity by the United Nations. The Nation of Hawaii operates a 501(c)3 entity in the State of Hawaii.

The Nation of Hawaii is creating a new heart-first form of capitalism. The core of this is a national treasury based on blockchain technology which will issue a Hawaii Dollar. The Hawaii Dollar is based on the value of the lands and economic activity of the Hawaiian Archipelago divided by the number of Hawaii Dollars in circulation.

Concurrently, the nation will be leveraging a decentralized land registry to help it perfect its legal claims to properties, and ensure that lands are not stolen again in the emerging digital realm of the metaverse. This land registry, combined with its treasury, will form the basis of a property-based lending platform and secondary trading market.

The Nation plans to issue several bond offerings, the proceeds of which will be used to raise capital to buy assets and return their profits to investors. The most important investor class is Hawaiian citizens who reap the benefits of the treasury and sovereign investment fund. Hawaiian citizens are the Nation’s primary shareholders.

The focus of Hawaii bond offerings is to buy properties and securities back from owners of lands and economic activities in Hawaii, which will then be reconstituted into a communal land ownership system that is most similar to Singapore, with the rents being used to fund returns for bond investors and benefits for citizens of Hawaii. This would include purchases of large commercial properties, hotel assets from REITs, and very small properties, such as condominiums and timeshare interests. The Nation would also purchase interests in businesses that operate in the Islands, such as shipping companies, transportation companies, health care services, and hospitality operators.

The Nation of Hawaii plans to create a tax-friendly jurisdiction to attract companies and individuals to domicile their enterprises in the heart of the Pacific. There is a keen focus on fostering innovation in clean energy, sustainable agriculture, software development, financial services, and transportation. Hawaii stands to become a successful nation-state modeled on the success of the Nation of Singapore with social systems that are similar to Sweden.

The economic output and rents from assets will fund the ongoing operations of the Nation. This includes providing housing, healthcare, education, transportation, and other benefits of its citizens, after repayment of interest to investors. Citizens are in effect the shareholders of these enterprises, and the government is the management team that serves the interests and well being of the citizens above all else.
