The Sovereign Nation of Hawaii is an archipelago consisting of eight islands located in the Pacific Ocean. It is the home of the Hawaii Fridays.

History

On some Friday long ago, in the midst of an oppressive and longstanding colonial occupation, the people of Hawai'i had had enough. Alongside Native Hawai'ian leadership, Fridays team captain Elijah Valenzuela rallied the people and communities across all of Hawai'i to rise up and end the occupation. This led to the liberation of Hawai'i from imperialist occupation and the subsequent founding of the Sovereign Nation of Hawai'i, acknowledging the original caretakers of the land and welcoming all.

No one knows when Our Lady of Perpetual Friday arrived, nor how long she has been here. All they know is the soft lapping of the shores, the wind blowing through the trees, and the gentle sounds of birds in the distance. Time, like other colonial concepts, is now but a faint memory, washed away by the tides.

In Blaseball

While other teams prefer to play in a stadium complex the Fridays opt to play wherever the vibes feel best, meaning games can take place in literally any location on any of the islands, and occasionally even in the water. Fans and merch vendors are recommended to bring their own seating and booths.

Games most often take place on the beach and it is not uncommon for the pitcher's mound to be set on top of an imu, a kind of underground oven used for kālua. On games where this is the case, during the 7th inning stretch the food is taken out and shared among everyone present.

In Popular Culture

In past years, the Sovereign Nation of Hawaii was well known for being a hub of international film and TV show production, including shows such as Hawaii 6-0 (a show detailing the chronicles of the Hawaiian Little League Association) and Magnum PIE (a comedy series featuring the mascot of the Philly Pies, the Philly Philling). However, production on any international series was halted following a series of incidents at Kualoa Ranch (a popular filming site). Such incidents included rubber kaiju costumes on the set of several movies becoming sapient and refusing to film without proper union representation.

National Animal

The Sovereign Nation of Hawai'i has no official national animal, however it does have a national party animal that is described by law to be "whomever is the current National Surf Champion." These are commonly confused, much to Karato Bean's displeasure, as they have held this title for the last five years.
