St. Lawrence & Diomede Islands

St. Lawrence & Diomede Islands, officially the Union of St. Lawrence, Big Diomede and Little Diomede Islands and referred to natively as Sivuqaq, Injaliq & Imaqłiq is a small nation located near the former maritime border between the United States and Russia, being composed by the eponymous St. Lawrence and Diomede Islands.

The islands are populated by Iñupiaq peoples, with a small white American minority, and a tiny remnant of the former Russian Army in Big Diomede. It is comprised by the villages of Savoonga and Gambell in St. Lawrence Island, Diomede in Little Diomede Island, and the new settlement of Imaqliq in Big Diomede Island. The re-settlement of Big Diomede has been slow, but it has brough much needed prosperity to the land. The nation's capital is Savoonga.

The island was hit hard by toxic fumes coming from Kamchatka after The Disaster. It also didn't help that an unexploded ICBM was found underwater near Big Diomede. However, it was found that the nuke was still usable, and it was put up for auction to whoever wanted to buy it from them. The bomb is a hot target for most of the Western Alaskan nations, with the highest bid being from Kotzebue. Officials are currently debating whether or not it is a good idea to give the bomb away.
