Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Alaska (section)

==Factions==
Alaska's state government survived largely intact, aside from Senators and other Federal representatives who were outside the state at the time. Those from outside of the state (either visiting or stationed) were given a choice: Stay and work to ensure the prosperity of their new home, or return to where they were originally from.
===The Boroughs===
Essentially smaller "states" within the Alaskan government, most cover an area of several hundred to several thousand square miles, with the Yukon-Koyukuk being the single largest. The biggest cities in Alaska, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Wasilla-Palmer compose the majority of the population of the state, with almost 100,000 living in smaller communities.
===The Slopers===
The oilfields and platforms of the North Slope continue to produce oil that is shipped through the Alaska Pipeline to Anchorage, where it is refined into various petroleum products that provide a lucrative trade economy for the state. Only through the work of the hard men and women known as "Slopers" can the state maintain it's prominence, and it's independence. They are all provided an education through the remaining colleges in the state, which they attend for 2 weeks, before rotating back to the North Slope for 2 weeks to put what they've learned into practice.
===Native Alaskans===
Small groups of mostly culturally homogeneous reside primarily along the state's coasts, with groups of Aleut, Inuit, and many other groups maintaining their subsistence lifestyles mostly unchanged. Bethel and Nome are more diverse, with the former the site of several fisheries, and Nome maintaining it's gold mining industry for new electronics and other manufacturing processes.
