Development Overview
Originally the Kingdom of Hawaii, the monarchy was overthrown in 1893 and annexed by the United States in 1898 to become the 50th U.S. state in 1959. The state government is headed by the Governor, ensuring political stability within the American state governance system. The economy relies heavily on tourism and U.S. military base spending, attracting millions of visitors every year, mainly from the U.S. mainland, Japan, and other Asian countries. The agriculture mainly consists of pineapple, sugarcane, and coffee, although their proportion has declined. The social environment is characterized by openness and friendliness, with good overall public security.
