Description
Nothing terribly special about this map, I just had a vision and realized it through this. In 1867, Russia simply refuses to sell Alaska to the United States and the territory remains a Russian colony. The discovery of gold prompts a gold rush and the population of Russian Alaska swells as Canadians, Americans, Russians, and Japanese flood the region in an attempt to strike at rich. When the Bolshevik Revolution breaks out, Alaska becomes the final evacuation point for the provisional White government, even managing to muster enough strength, combined with international allies, to prevent the Soviets from taking Chukotka and Kamchatka. As time wears on and tensions calm down, an informal border stabilizes in Siberia. The Tsardom is restored in 1927, as one of the few remaining Romanov's is located and thrust onto the thrown, albeit under a constitutional monarchy. While the nation has faced some threats over the past near-century, it has largely withdrawn from world affairs, happy to be the Saudi Arabia of the Arctic and grow rich off of its mineral wealth. In the time since its creation it has come to be called "The Tsardom of the Two Alyeskas" by the outside world, playing on the name of the old Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
