Republic of Alyeska

In the 1860s, Russia was having trouble profiting off of the fur trading. However, when Russia offered Canada a deal of 2.9 million USD, Canada doesn't accept, being a new nation.

Soon, the colony became half American and half Russian in population, and this led to a civil war in 1894. The people of Alyeska were in need of having a republic, similar to that of the US set up, and the Russians lost Alyeska only 2 years later, believing they would be better off without it anyway. Soon, a draft was set for a constitution, and in 1889, Alyeska became the Republic of Alyeska.
