I'd imagine one of the Indian states would be good. Anywhere small, our of the way, and a satellite of a big beast like The UK was usually good in HoI.

Have fun! :D

Hawaii is great for hands off except for 1914 when it does not exist. I've used Costa Rica for 1914.

If you disband the Hawaiian army, set all the expenses to the left and taxes as high as allowed and sell every fish you catch, with a few breaks your hands-off Hawaii could come in the top 50 at the end of the GC game.:)
