History
Prehistory
Malso_, the leader of Alaska on nova, had wanted to reestablish his nation on aurora. Him and some citizens of nova Alaska planned out the nation. On the first day of public access, May 13th, 2022, Malso and his citizens from nova set out towards Alaska from Los Angeles, California. While Malso_ was waiting in the queue, uwu_dez, one of the members of the mission, mined so that by the time Malso_ arrived, the town could be made. They established Fairbanks, based off the real life town in the same region. They chose the town as it was a central point in the Alaskan land. Over the following six days, deZ did the majority of mining for the nation. When deZ had collected all the gold, Malso_ gave him the rights to make Alaska, and he served as the Chancellor.
The uwu_deZ Era
After the nation was created, deZ was not very popular. Many nation members were against him. There were multiple citizens who claimed deZ had stolen their possessions. There were also other conflicts internally at the time. The Alaskan towns of Kodiak and New Kodiak had multiple skirmishes. The members of Kodiak moved to Petersburg, Alaska, and then to what would become the nation of Tanzania. Many members left the nation and some quit EarthMC entirely. In the meanwhile, Malso was still active and worked on alliances such as the Alaskan Union and the USA. Malso was still popular, with the citizens desiring for him to become to the leader as initially planned. Due to a misunderstanding with the nation of Spain, the Alaskan Union declared war upon them. However, it was quickly sorted out, and was resolved six hours after being declared. The nation suffered due to deZ's inactivity for a period. Due to deZ's inactivity, Malso reacquired the nation on August 11th, 2022.
The Malso_ Era (Present)
Malso wanted a more democratic government, establishing a Prime Minister election. KalebTheTurtl, the mayor of the town of Yukon, was victorious in the election on August 28th, 2022. Around this time, Bering_Sea, an AU member, joined Alaska directly, making it a meganation. On the 24th of October, the nation joined the League of Nations, and new international alliance. A day later, Aleutians_East, the other AU member, also joined Alaska. With the new addition, the Federation of Alaska was rechristened to Imperial Alaska. As all the AU members had joined Alaska, the alliance folded. The next day, the newly established nation of Russian_Alaska had shown interest in joining the AU. It was re-established only one day after folding. After the next election cycle, KalebTheTurtl was re-elected as the Prime Minister. In that election cycle, more roles were added, such as a cabinet and district elections. This eventually led to the ratification of the Alaskan Constitution. In the following weeks, Far North, a new nation in Alaska, joined the nation. Around this time, Oregon began talks with the nation. Alaska ratified the nation joining Alaska, but Oregon withdrew right before they were to accept. At this point, Alaska declared war on the nation of Washington, who had declared independence from their ally Cascadia. Washington eventually surrendered.
