This colonial power’s use of corvée labor for roadwork sparked the Sokehs Rebellion. The 2023 book The Magnificent Boat profiles this power’s looting of an outrigger canoe called the Luf Boat. This was the first of two powers to butt heads with the half-Swedish matai chief Olaf Nelson in a territory it secured via the Tripartite Convention. This power’s Kabakon island was the site of the Order of the Sun, a colony of nudist “frugivores” who attempted to live exclusively off coconuts. When three of this power’s gunboats were destroyed by the (*) Apia Cyclone, its Samoan crisis with Britain and America ended. This empire operated copra plantations on islands bought from Spain in pursuit of a “place in the sun.” For 10 points, name this power whose New Guinea Company once ruled the Papuan archipelago now named for its first chancellor. ■END■
