The Alaskan Republic (usually known as Alaska) is a nation located in North America.

From 1796 to 1917, Alaska was a colonial territory of the Russian Empire. After seeing a decline in the mid-1800s, Alaska saw a massive boost in population and economy after gold was discovered in 1896. During the First World War, Alaskans served on the Eastern and to an extent, the Pacific Theatre.

In 1917, the Russian monarchy was overthrown and abolished. In the seven years of fighting, Alaska became a main base for the White movement. In 1924, the Treaty of Victoria was signed, and Alaska was recognised by the newly formed Soviet Union. The White government dominated the government until 1929, when the most legitimate Romanov pretender, Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich, died. With his death, a restoration of the monarchy was unlikely, and the White-dominated government fell.
