If a Hawaiian monarchy had remained continuously viable and relevant until the present, drivers licenses, car registration, and insurance would be required of anyone driving in Hawaii just as it is required in every country around the globe with a functioning government, and this scammer would still be gaming the system if he could. I think a nation within a nation status would be appropriate as it is with other Native Americans. I think that would be a good thing since with formal recognition would come formal policy governing such things. This guy would still be unhappy, perhaps especially so since it would close a lot of foolish loopholes. Is it even right to discuss the Hawaiian monarchy as though there aren't several competing claimants who can only exist in the tolerant social environment provided by US? From my reading I think that the ancient Hawaiians handled such disputes more decisively.
