The scenario identifies the administration of Britain's Pacific territories as a possible major consequence. Stability and access to the British economic sphere could make Hawaii a practical center for administering distant island possessions. The Gilbert and Ellice Islands, now Kiribati and Tuvalu, might be governed from Hawaii, while Pitcairn, Niue, the Cook Islands, and other island communities could join a Hawaii-centered system. The constitutional comparison distinguishes Pitcairn's British Overseas Territory status from Niue's self-government in free association with New Zealand, an arrangement also associated with the Cook Islands. Those existing distinctions illustrate the range of relationships being considered for the imagined grouping. A small confederation or island state could emerge, though its precise constitutional form remains open. The scenario expects continued ties to the Commonwealth.
