Chapter 742: Reform and Islanders_3
It seems that Australasia still has quite a lot of Territories and Colonies.
Of course, the main reason for this is the insufficient population of Australasia, which makes it impossible to naturalize and fully develop all Colonies.
From this, it can also be seen that the main target of Australasian naturalization is on the larger Islands of Southeast Asia, while the smaller Islands in the Pacific Ocean are still under Colonial control.
However, there's no rush to naturalize these regions for the time being. Because with the Territories in the Western Pacific and South Pacific Ocean already surrounding these areas, there's no worry that they will break away from Australasian rule.
Of course, among the many Territories is a rather special one, which is the former Capital City—Sydney.
Although Sydney is no longer the Capital, its administrative division is still being retained, and it has been renamed the Sydney Territory.
As one of the smallest administrative regions in scale, the Sydney Territory nevertheless has a significant population and ranks among the top in all state-level administrative areas.
The Governor of the Sydney Territory is definitely one of Arthur's closest confidants. If Arthur were to choose new Cabinet members from among his subordinates, then the Sydney Governor would undoubtedly be a top pick.
In the reports from these Territories and Colonies, what Arthur is most concerned about are, naturally, the situations in Hawaii and Alaska.
Both these areas have just come under the rule of Australasia this year, and compared to other Territories and Colonies, these two are more prone to problems.
The most crucial point is that both Hawaii and Alaska have significant American populations.
Due to the immigration Policy of the United States, Hawaii and Alaska have a considerable number of Black People.
These Black People are definitely a priority to be removed. Arthur does not want to see his country changed in its racial makeup, and then shamelessly criticized with claims that Australasia was originally a land of Black People.
The good news is that although the Governors of Hawaii and Alaska have just taken office, they are also well aware of Arthur's firm stance on immigration.
Currently, the relocation of Black People in both regions is going smoothly, and the number of Black People in Alaska has been cleared to zero.
This is actually quite normal. After all, Alaska is situated in the frigid Arctic Circle, and Black People coming from the hot lands of Africa naturally prefer to live in more comfortable climates.
Thus, Alaska was essentially ruled out first by Black immigrants, which is also why there have been very few Black People there.
Hawaii is different, though.
Hawaii was also a country before, which the United States forcefully occupied.
To ensure their rule in Hawaii, the Americans transported a large number of immigrants there, including the Black People that Arthur strongly dislikes.
In order to reduce the number of Natives in Hawaii, the United States also opened up its immigration policy there, causing a large influx of Asians, especially Islanders.
Currently, the population of Hawaii is still quite complex.
Islanders and Hawaiian Natives make up the majority, but there are also a large number of Caucasian and Black Americans, as well as many immigrants who have come because of the island's fame.
After all, as an island at the center of the Pacific Ocean with beautiful scenery, it's quite normal to attract some immigrants.
Apart from the Black People in Hawaii, those Islanders are also to be expelled as much as possible.
In Arthur's plans, it is very likely that there will be a war with the Islanders in the future. If too many Islanders are left in Hawaii, they might become a catalyst for the Islanders to attack Hawaii one day.

After all, 'those of a different kind surely have different intentions.' Regarding these sneaky and cunning Islanders, the necessary precautions must be taken.
Currently, the population of Hawaii is about 350,000, with only a few thousand Black People. But as an important demographic, Islanders make up 42.8% of the total population.
This is a perilous percentage. With this ratio, the Islander population in Hawaii is about 150,000, and among them, how many are spies and Intelligence Agents?
If a war truly breaks out between Australasia and the Island Nation, a large part of these 150,000 Islanders would definitely become spies, engaging in intelligence or sabotage work within Hawaii.
