Northwestern Arctic Federation

The Northwestern Arctic Federation, sometimes just the Northwestern Federation, is a union of three villages in the former Northwest Arctic Borough of Alaska, located near the Kobuk and Ambler rivers. It was created from the need of a unified safe haven for refugees from Kotzebue.

The majority of the population in the federation is Iñupiaq, speaking the Ambler and Shungnak dialects. It controls the three constituent villages of Ambler, Kobuk and Shungnak and their surrounding territory. It may also incoporate a relocated Kivalina in the near future. The capital was voted to be Shungnak, as to give the smallest village of the federation some representation next to the other two's bigger population and land area.

The Disaster didn't impact the three villages in the slightest, making them a safe zone for anyone looking to relocate to a place far away from the irradiated coastal areas of western Alaska. Kotzebue approached each of the villages individually and proposed a confederation where they would have equal treatment. Due to the stories told about the irradiated of Kotzebue, the three villages refused. Kotzebue threatened to invade, which compelled the villages to join forces to fight against Kotzebue's bellic policy against the Northwest Arctic villages.
