Federal Republic of Alaska

The Federal Republic of Alaska (Russian: Федеративная Республика Аляска, Federativnaya Respublika Alyaska), more commonly known as Alaska (Russian: Аляска, Alyaska), and commonly abbreviated as the FRA (Russian: ФРА) is a country in North America that borders Canada to the east, California to the south, and the United States of America to the south-east. It also shares a maritime border with Hawaii, and Russia to the west of the Bering Strait.

Alaska is made out of parts that used to be called Russian America (Russian: Русская Америка, Russkaya Amerika), a bunch of colonies that the Russian Empire owned in North America and Hawaii. The first Russian settlements were founded in 1743 on the Aleutian Islands. Soon, it expanded to the rest of modern-day Alaska. In 1814, Fort Ross and the Kauai colony were founded. Soon, when the Treaty of St. Petersburg was put in place, Kauai Colony was merged with Alaska. In April 1917, during the Russian Revolution, Alaska declared independence as the Alaskan Provisional Government. There were three factions then: the monarchists, who wanted the former Tsar to rule Alaska, the republicans, who wanted Alaska to be a republic, and the democratic socialists, who wanted Alaska to go the way of democratic socialism, seeing the Bolsheviks as not true socialists. in 1920, the republicans won and Alaska became a republic. Alaska then went on to side with the allies in the Second World War, fighting off an attempted Japanese invasion. It played an important role as a buffer state during the Cold war for the USA and the USSR.

Its culture is unique in that it's the only country in the Americas to have an Eastern Orthodox majority, and the only country outside of the former USSR to have a majority Russian-speaking population.
