Alaska (Russian America)

The Alaskan Federative Republic (Russian: Аляскинская Федеративная Республика Alyaskinckaya Federativnay Respublika), more commonly called Alaska (Аляска Alyaska), is a country located in the northwester portion of North America. Alaska is a federation made up of nine that border Canada and the United States to the east, Mexico to the south, and Russia to the west. Alaska is the only Russian speaking nation outside Eurasia.

Alaska formed out of the American colonies of the Russian Empire. Between 1852 until the sovereignty of the oblasts in 1909, the Alaskan oblasts were directly part of the Russian Empire. In 1909, the oblasts gained sovereignty under a dominion-like nation known as the. With the collapse of the Empire in 1917, and the start of the October Revolution, the Alaskan oblasts acted as a safe haven for the White Russian movement. Despite being reorganized into the in 1924, the oblasts were debated between the reds and the whites.

By 1926, the conflicts in Alaska would lead to the start of an independence movement. Known locally as the "Green movement," the movement supported a new democratic nation based on the people. The movement grew headway with the "revolution" taking place in the colonial capital of Novoarkhangelsk. On September 26, 1929, the ASFSR was transformed into the modern day Alaskan Federative Republic.
