Overview

The Sovereign Nation of Hawai'i 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, a successful revolution started by Fridays team captain Elijah Valenzuela led to Hawai’i’s independence from imperialist occupation. Following this, the Sovereign Nation of Hawai’i was established.

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 is non-existent, 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 Hawai’i 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 National Animal of Hawai'i is described by law to be "whomever is the current National Surf Champion." As of now, the national animal is Karato Bean, having been so for the last five years., of the Hawaii Fridays.
