	— Description of forming Tongan Empire

The Tongan Empire is a formable in Oceania that is formed by Tonga. It is often considered one of the easiest formables in the game due to the pacific islands having little-to-no-threats. Forming this formable awards you with the Tu'i title.

Background

The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.

The Tuʻi Tonga Empire, or Tongan Empire, are descriptions sometimes given to Tongan expansionism and projected hegemony in Oceania which began around 950 CE, reaching its peak during the period 1200–1500. It was centred in Tonga on the island of Tongatapu, with its capital at Muʻa. Modern researchers and cultural experts attest to widespread Tongan influence, evidence of transoceanic trade and exchange of material and non-material cultural artefacts.

Under the 10th Tuʻi Tonga, Momo and his son Tuʻitātui (11th Tuʻi Tonga) the empire was at its height of expansion, tributes for the Tuʻi Tonga were said to be exacted from all tributary chiefdoms of the empire. This tribute was known as the ʻInasi and was conducted annually at Mu'a following the harvest season when all countries that were subject to the Tuʻi Tonga must bring a gift for the gods, who was recognized as the Tuʻi Tonga.

The Tuʻi Tonga decline began due to numerous wars and internal pressure. In the 13th or 14th centuries, the Samoans had expelled the Tongans from their lands after Tuʻi Tonga Talakaifaiki was defeated in battle by the brothers Tuna, Fata, and Savea, progenitors of the Malietoa family. In response, the falefā was created as political advisors to the Empire. The falefā officials were initially successful in maintaining some hegemony over other subjected islands but increased dissatisfaction led to the assassination of several rulers in succession.

Because of so many assassination attempts on the Tuʻi Tonga, Kauʻulufonua established a new dynasty called the Ha'a Takalaua in honour of his father and gave his brother, Moʻungamotuʻa, the title of Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua. This new dynasty was to deal with the everyday decisions of the empire, while the position of Tuʻi Tonga was to be the nation's spiritual leader, though he still controlled the final say in the life or death of his people. The Tuʻi Tonga Empire at this period becomes Samoan in orientation as the Tuʻi Tonga kings themselves became ethnic Samoans who married Samoan women and resided in Samoa.

Economy and Manpower

The Tongan Empire is one of the only formables with a maximum manpower of 60,000 and generates no resources, due to the nation fully compromised with microscopic islands.

Geography

Due to the empire lacking tiles, there is neither terrain or biome in the Tongan Empire.

Threats

• United Kingdom needs some of your islands to form the British Empire.
• France needs your islands to form the French Empire.
• Any Pacific country colonizing all of empire to form Alam Melayu.

Strategy

Starting Moves

Once choosing Tonga, build electronic factories in your only 2 cities, and make sure to upkeep these factories with at least 4 gold and copper each. Research factory output to produce as much electronics as you can, and sell those electronics to other countries. With your newfound money, spawn at least 3 more infantry units and 1-2 frigates.

Conquering Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands

The process for conquering these countries is simple. Once justifying and declaring war on one of these nations, capture a non-capital city with your infantry to naval intercept their home guard, and then auto-capture then annex the rest of the country. Repeat this process until you have finished conquering these 3 countries. Between conquests, however, it is best to let your troops replenish their losses. (WIP)
