Alaski

Alaski is a fictional region used in world-building and geographic studies. It is depicted as a northern coastal domain with a large mainland area and an extensive archipelago, spanning temperate to subarctic climates.

The mainland features a central mountain spine, fjordlike coastlines, river valleys, boreal forests, and tundra in the interior. The southern coast is moderated by maritime air, while higher latitudes experience long winters and short summers.

In the fictional chronology, Indigenous cultures long inhabited the region, followed by exploration and trade contacts with external powers. In the late 20th century, Alaski became a semi-autonomous region within a larger political union and established its own regional government.

Alaski is governed by a regional council and a governor, with a legislature that handles local affairs such as land and resource management while participating in federal or confederal decision-making bodies.

The economy centers on sustainable fisheries, seafood processing, forestry, mining, and tourism. Renewable energy projects, such as hydro and wind, are significant, along with research institutions in climate science and Arctic studies. Demographically, settlements cluster along the coast and in river valleys, with growing coastal towns.

Residents reflect a mix of Indigenous heritage and settler communities, with traditions tied to the sea, winter travel, and seasonal migrations. Conservation and resilience in the face of climate change are recurring themes.
