Description

Waka Tifi was occupied by the British for one hundred and fifty years as a protectorate. During WWII the British turned the island over to the United States. Teuila Arihi is the island Chieftess who runs the independent government of the United States protectorate. Natural barriers have protected Waka from thermonuclear testing fallout. Now people on Waka are getting sick. Is it radiation sickness? Could it be cyanide or some other poison? Or is it some virus from outside the island? The newly formed CIA fears a different sickness is running it's course on Waka. Communism. Teuila has imposed high taxes, refuses applications of Christian missionaries to establish themselves on the island while supporting a local island cult. Teuila has invested those high taxes into socialized healthcare, and government distribution of food, clothing, and housing. Waka Radio and Waka Press are both run by Americans and allowed free speech. Small businesses such as the Victory Cafe, independent fishing and farming, are all encouraged. Large corporations outside the island are used for services, but aren't welcome on the island. The CIA sends an 'observer' to the island. Who is actually there to destabilize the economy and displace Teuila. Teuila proves to be smarter than the CIA expected. With help from a outsider of the island from the United States and a Americans already on the island the 'observer' is disposed of as well as the criminal organization he used to try and destroy the island's government and it's natives.
