Transkusilvak

Transkusilvak, officially the Transkusilvak Republic, is a country located south of the Kusilvak Mountains in the former Kusilvak Census Area in Alaska. It recently sold a good portion of its northern territory to Seward.

The nation is populated by Yup'ik peoples with a sizeable white American minority. Like the name implies, Transkusilvak is south of the Kusilvak mountains, and also south of the Yukon River delta. The country's capital is Naparyaarmiut (formerly Hooper Bay), and it also contains the villages of Chevak, Masserculleq (formerly Marshall), Asaacarsaq (formerly Mountain Village), Tuutalgaq (formerly Pilot Station), Iqugmiut (formerly Russian Mission), Marayaarmiut (formerly Scammon Bay) and Negeqliq (formerly St. Mary's). It also contains the former federally-recognized tribal lands of Algaaciq and Andreafsky. Chevak and Asaacarsaq are considered dependencies of the republic due to their general political disconnect with the rest of the villages, and how they have greater autonomy within the territory.

Strong winds carried strong radiation coming from Kamchatka into the villages of the republic. It formed just to survive against the harsh conditions of the area, establishing early trade relations with Seward. At one point, it held most territories within the former Kusilvak Census Area beyond the mountains, but these areas were harder to control and functioned basically as their own independent states. Realizing Seward could have more effective governance over the land, they sold the territory to them and have lived in peace and isolation ever since.
