Assume that Hawaii is "illegally occupied" as a provable fact.
Further assume some "official" recognition.
Now what?
Door-to-door DNA scans followed by deportation of anyone with the "wrong" blood?
Hawaii enjoys substantial subsidies from the US Government -- when the military has been "sent home", what will the New Kingdom do for money?
Without domestic security, projects like the TMT won't even be contemplated; some would consider this a "huge win". Again, money: after tourism and tourism (and tourism), the mountaintops are the only asset -- no agriculture, no mineral deposits, no oil.
Not that there's likely to be much tourism for the New Kingdom. Part of the appeal (in my opinion) is that Hawaii is a US State with that "rule of law" thing -- without which, tourists will find cheaper places to visit.
"You can have 10% of this dollar, or 100% of nothing."
