Nome (Empires of Old and New)

The Empire of Nome is a country located in OTL Alaska, and a major rival of most of the states in the area.

History
Nome was originally inhabited by seafaring Mongolians traveling east in 1292. Back in this time, the area was called Mosonula, or the "Ice Mountains". Few colonies were built up here, and the area was left heavily Mongol for hundreds of years.

However, in the late-1600s, the Inuit Inuit incited a revolt. The Russians and English helped with this revolt. The area was carved up by the three nations, with the Inuit gaining the north, Russians gaining the center, and English gaining the [[English Alyeska (Empires of Old and New)|west.

For most of the 1700s and 1800s, the area was owned mostly by the English army. It was used to conduct military expirements, and for strategic naval bases in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. In 1727, the city of Neme, now Nome, was founded to establish a political center. Despite revolts, and occassional attempts to gain the land by Vladimir, Mongolia, and the Inuit, the English retained the land for 215 years.

In 1880s, both Russian Alyeska and English Alyeska were facing more and more attacks, while their owners got less and less involved in the area. In 1887, the main superpower of North Amerika, the United States, incited a revolt. With very few people to suppress the rebellion, it went smoothly.
