Oahu

One island of several which collectively form Hawaii, it is well-known for its lush country-sides, soothing beach waters, and stunning nightlife scene. But beneath its swaying canopies lies a troubled world, and amidst its sparkling waters a fading civilization which once ruled sovereign. The local boys aren’t too happy about all the tourists and their tax rates and overpriced goods, Poipu Beach is their territory, and you’d best stay clear of it. Then we have the Yakuza, who’ve managed to misplace themselves and all their banned bubble blowers all over Waikiki. When a bunch of guys in shades show up to the pool, you’d best let them have it all to themselves. Let’s not forget that Oahu’s jungles offer a wide variety of fruits—from families with clothes the color of the rainbow, to homeless Sims with a few screws loose. Trouble in paradise isn’t just a book anymore...

Governmental Policy
Oahu is a city-suburb with an egalitarian government. Legislature is created independent of the public by the Oval Office, however, state representatives are recognized in the legislation process and do provide a means of voicing public opinions. Public opinion is an important element of the state's democratic views, but ultimately, judgment lies solely on the state board in Honolulu.

Honolulu's Local Government
Honolulu's Public Services Office, despite its location in Mauna Kea, has been zoned as federal territory and only corresponds with Poipu Beach, Ewa Beach, and Aku'Hai Cove. The city of Honolulu recently suffered federal exile due to police exposure of banned foreign bubble blowers in an underground market. It is suspected this is a major source of the city's funding due to the economic duress following the closure of these markets. Henceforth, the city has been functioning as an independent city-state for a seasonal year and will be annexed when police investigation has been sufficed (via resolving tax expenditures).

Interstate System
Oahu features a complex highway and freeway system enacted during WWII for the sole purpose of transporting soldiers from beach-to-beach. It was later opened to the public but is occasionally vacated to land major airliners. The Gnome Skirmish was the only time such a method was ever used.

Sub-Cultures of Oahu
Oahu is divided into five main regions: Honolulu, Ewa Beach, Poipu Beach, Aku'Hai Cove, and the Mahako Resort Islands. Each location features a varying demographic as well as different venues and ways of socializing in the community.

=Honolulu= Honolulu is a large sprawling city with over 40 high-rises that overlook the Pacific Ocean. Most of the island's clubs, stores, and residential areas are nestled in this area.

Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea is often referred to as the "Resort City" since this highly developed downtown houses many vacationing celebrities, the most exclusive clubs, and the lushest landscaping of Honolulu.

=Aku'Hai Cove= While not a residential location, this area is a nicely secluded environment for sims seeking to connect with wildlife. The lakeside park does not permit camp grounds of any kind, but that doesn't stop those from trying to evade detection. The state penitentiary is also located in Aku'Hai Cove, serving as the 'second capitol' of the land mass with regards to legal activity.
