Pacific Islands #147

I would like to suggest a few things involving Pacific Islands:

An event or event chain ending in the Tripartite Convention which split the Samoa Islands between Germany and the USA. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartite_Convention). Right now, colonizing ends up with the three provinces in the Samoa regions occupied by one power, when in reality they were split between three.

If there's an event or decision about the French acquiring Tahiti and the Tuamotus, I've not seen it. France started claiming French Polynesia as early as the 1840s, way before the time they are normally available for colonization.

Similarly, the Pitcairn Islands were annexed by the UK in 1838.

I've noticed that the Phoenix Islands (incl. Baker & Howland Island) are on the map but they have no province ID. If there are plans to add them one day, it might be interesting to add something about the US Minor Outlying Islands (Wake, Midway, etc.) vs. the islands claimed by the US and the UK which later became Kiribati (such as Phoenix and Line islands -- US only dropped claim on these in the 70s.) Also interesting to note that the Kingdom of Hawaii claimed Palmyra Atoll in 1862, before annexation by the USA, though I think to properly show that you might have to split Palmyra from the Line Islands again.

I'm dumb, I found it now. But it may be appropriate to offer it earlier to France than the decision does.

Related to this, I think you might want to reduce the max naval bases that the small island or atoll terrains support. Right now you can, say, get a level 6 base on coral atolls which seems a little silly honestly.
