The Big "Five-Oh"
Welcome to Hawaii, chummer. A land of paradise, adventure, and nuyen. A land caught halfway between the predations of Japan and the political machinations of the UCAS and Calfree. Hawaii is a NAN, returning to its old ways and struggling to shrug off the centuries-old influence of United States and Japan.
