The Kingdom of Taua'i is the 3rd largest kingdom in the United Kingdoms of the Fuximi Islands, and the westernmost. It consists of the two islands of Taua'i and Ni'ihau. Historically, it has been the least integrated, being the only kingdom not to be an original member. It is also the most traditional. While Buddhism has become established, a revived form of the traditional faith has also come to grow in popularity, encouraged by the government, which has made it an official religion alongside Buddhism. The revived faith is considerably different from the old religion, placing far less emphasis on the tapu (religious bans).
