Seward

Seward, officially known as the Seward Peninsular Republic and formerly as the Republic of Nome, is a country located in the Seward Peninsula and surrounding areas, in the former Nome Census Area of Alaska. It has also recently expanded into the former Kusilvak Census Area.

The republic is nearly 100% Iñupiat, with white Americans and others formerly inhabiting the territory being kicked out into the Alaskan wilderness. Its territory revolves around the eponymous Seward Peninsula and the Yukon River delta. Included in the republic are the towns and villages of Nome, Brevig Mission, Shishmaref, Elim, Teller, Golovin, Koyuk, White Mountain, Wales, St. Michael, Stebbins, King Island, Unalakleet and Shaktoolik on the Northern District, and the recent additions of Alakanuk, Nunam Iqua, Emmonak and Kotlik in the Southern District, all coming from a big purchase of every territory in the area from the Transkusilvak Republic. The republic's government is centralized on Nome, with every other settlement having varying degrees of proper governmental control.

It was very much affected by small radiation poisoning after The Disaster due to toxic fumes coming from Kamchatka. Seward was originally comprised of just Nome, absorbing the surrounding villages until crashing into the Transkusilvak Republic. Although initally hostile, relations quickly cooled down between the two countries and Transkusilvak offered Seward to buy its territories north of the Kusilvak Mountains, due to a lack of effective control. The purchase was made, but trying to control the territories bought has proved a challenge for the young republic.
