I saw on one of the map threads (with a pre-1000AD) a map that had the eight main islands of Hawaii split between two international powers (western four with a Byzantine Empire which was the hyperpower and the easter four with the Japanese).

I'm having problems with the plausibility of this. Oahu seems like the big prize due to its harbor and without Oahu, are the rest useful/defendable?
