The Commonwealth of Alaska

The Commonwealth of Alaska was a Commonwealth of the United States of America. ==History == Alaska was one of the major sites of fighting during the war with China, notably around the Anchorage Front Line. ===War in Alaska === In 2059, the United States established a significant military force to protect its oil interests in Alaska, in light of the ever dwindling oil reserves in the world, as well as increasing tensions with China. In the winter of 2066, the Americans' fears became reality as the Chinese military invaded Alaska and took over a significant portion of the land. Alaska became a war zone between the United States and China, furthering fears of nuclear apocalypse around the world. On January 10, 2077, the United States finally reclaimed Alaska from the Chinese. The war between the two remained intense, ultimately leading to the The Great War on October 23rd of the same year.

 ==Geography Edit == Alaska is the only non-contiguous U.S. Commonwealth on continental North America; about 500 miles (800 km) of Canada separates Alaska from Washington. Alaska is thus an exclave of the United States, possibly the largest exclave in the world. It is technically part of the continental U.S., but is often not included in colloquial use; Alaska is not part of the contiguous U.S., often called the lower 12. The capital city, Juneau, is situated on the mainland of the North American continent, but is not connected by road to the rest of the North American highway system.

Alaska is the largest Commonwealth in the United States in land area at 586,412 square miles. Alaska is larger than all but 18 sovereign countries.
