Part of this is a ploy to showcase Polynesia as a unique multi-cultural and multi-national civilisation that implicitly includes Polynesian people in [[

The Oan Isles shares powers such as civil service reform, natural resource management, law enforcement, and taxation and budget with the government of the Kohatu Isles. The government of the Kohatu Isles has exclusive responsibility for urban development planning, housing, agriculture, environmental conservation, historic landmarks, culture, social services, healthcare, education, sports and recreation, telecommunications, transport and electricity among many others.
