Background
Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is a remote island located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean.

The island is known for its unique cultural and archaeological significance. 🗿

Rapa Nui was first settled by Polynesian seafarers, believed to have arrived around the 12th century CE. These early settlers developed a unique culture, including the construction of massive stone statues known as moai. Over several centuries, the Rapa Nui people built and erected hundreds of moai statues across the island. These statues were carved from volcanic rock and represented ancestral figures. The construction and transportation of these statues remain a remarkable engineering feat. By the late 17th century, a new cultural and religious practice called the Birdman Cult emerged, shifting the focus of the society. The island's limited resources and growing population led to deforestation, soil erosion, and depletion of natural resources. This environmental degradation had a profound impact on the island's ecosystem and the ability of the Rapa Nui people to sustain their society. Internal conflicts, social unrest, and the arrival of European explorers further exacerbated the challenges faced by the island's inhabitants. The first recorded European contact with Rapa Nui occurred on Easter Sunday in 1722 when Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen encountered the island. Subsequent European visits, including those by British and Spanish expeditions, brought diseases, slave raiding, and cultural disruption to the island. In the late 19th century, Chilean authorities annexed Rapa Nui, and the island became a part of Chile. The Rapa Nui people faced challenges related to land ownership, cultural preservation, and their overall well-being. In recent years, efforts have been made to promote the preservation of Rapa Nui's cultural heritage and to empower the Rapa Nui people in the governance and management of their ancestral lands. 🗿 |

Strategy
Firstly recruit two units of troops and enforce the military service act. This will let you have a substantial military without going into deficit. Research tax collection 2 and recruit 2 more infantry units. Recruit a military leader and assign them to your army group. Enforce press censorship act and increase taxation laws to high. Attack 
Ecuador and capture Galapagos Islands. You can then attack the two northern most cities and then wait for Ecuador's troops to try to recapture the city. Your entrenched troops will easily take them out. Once the troops have been killed send the troops to cities one by one and do not take the square cities. Once there are only 3 cities left you can force peace them by selecting the cities you want to take and obviously select all of them. The AI will always accept the peace treaty if they have less than 10 percent of their cities left. This will take a while due to Ecuador's mountainous terrain. 🗿
Due to the size comparison between Ecuador and Rapa Nui you will have an immense amount of unrest. Remove your current policies and enforce the Neutrality act. Research Pursue National Unity and Inspire Confidence on the political branch and wait for your unrest to go away. While waiting justify war on Panama. Once the unrest has gone away you can remove the Neutrality Act and recruit another four units of infantry. Once your justification is complete declare war on 
Panama. Land in the most southwestern city and use the same strategy you used to kill Ecuador's troops. Once the Panama troops are gone you can Auto Capture the rest of Panama. Once Panama is captured use the same strategy for the rest of Central America and then 
Cuba, 
Jamaica and Hispaniola. Once you are done you can do what you want. Island hop the rest of the Carribean, colonise Africa, or even try make an impact on Europe or attack Mexico! The choice is yours. 🗿
