If you can avoid Yankee annexation, Hawaii will get tons of immigrants (I've once seen AI-led Hawaii Islands with over 17 million inhabitants - just because the rest of the Americas was warring each other, and Hawaii wasn't annexed by the Yankees). Hawaii starts off with extremely high literacy - probably the first country able to westernize at all, but normally it get's annexed by the USA before.
Interesting. I may have to try this now.
