Last Summer

[Florien]

You see, if we Annex Hawaii, we can do island things, like... look at salt-water, I suppose. And touch sand. And perhaps touch salt-water too. But also, we'll have more space. A whole island chain worth of space! And Hawaii is right there in the middle of the ocean, with very little else around, so it's an optimal place to store various ships, I think. We could also farm various tropical plants, such as sugarcane, there. A thriving rum industry is only a few mere decades away! "Why Hawaii?" you ask? "Why Not Hawaii?" I reply! And the best part, it's several islands, so we could make it into several states!
