Pacific Paradise?
After the cardinal re-shape of the British Empire/British Commonwealth in the early sixties of the twentieth century especially, granted independence Pacific nations are traditionally imagined from far away as a paradise on the Earth where singing followed dancing and vice versa.
Eventually, nothing is absolute and no such a thing as paradise on the Earth exists but some friendly looking natural pristine sanctuaries where bucks buy more than less comparing with streets of “first world developed” nations. And a human nature exposes usual urges dictating political outcomes wherever on the planet while pressing by environmental change fuelled with internet conquest, is growing.
Adding the problems, human-made discrepancies are overshadowed with natural planetary change predictably destroying a very basis these states are merely physically located at.
Of course, folks without a soil, area, land to establish political institutions has no nationally-defined country whereas simple biological survival gradually moves to a top of agenda for oncoming not-so-distant generations of Pacific islanders locally.
Someone suggests “labor mobility” might somehow softly bridge such inspirations in the nearest future also fundamental reshape in a region is inevitably in the air, for better and worse.
