Yes. I live here, trust me...\n\nAnd the women here are flat out nasty nine times out of ten. When do we expect to see you to give us a glimpse of hope?!

There is no state income nor any state sales tax in Alaska (some localities have a sales tax though).  We put a royality on pumped oil instead.  Some of that money goes into a "Permenant Fund" and dividends ("PFD"s) go out to state residents.  \n\nYou have to have been here for the previous calendar year (or been born in the last calender year) to receive it in October.  This year it was $1106.96 to every man, woman and child.  Just for taking up space.  Not surprisingly, when getting paid to just take up space, that is what some people do.\n\nI'd rather it was used for education and infrastructure, but free money is such a popular concept, it is political sacred and will never go away.\n\nThere was homesteading in Alaska decades ago and it really took off after WWII.  Guys who found it too crowded in North Dakota passed through during the war and wanted to come back.  No longer the case, for many years.  But it lives on in the popular imagination and in various internet /marketting scams.\n\nI do know people who bought 5 forested acres far back on a dirt road for $3,000 or so.  So I suppose there is some truth in the combined concept: Take the free money and use it buy cheap land.  And, if you don't mind a snowy 500-foot dirt-road driveway, shitting in an outhouse at -30F, and heating with wood you cut and split all by yourself, you can live on that land pretty cheapily.  I know people who do that to, but they usually stop when they 1) grow up around age 35 or 2) get/want a girlfriend.  But some keep at it.\n\nHope that helps.

The state of well being I guess.\nI was born and raised in Alaska and it is a place of incredible diversity. I work on the North Slope where the temperatures range from 50 below zero in the winter (it's minus 18 right now) to 80 above in the summer. \nIn Southeast Alaska near Juneau (capitol) there are rain forests. \nI live in Southwest Alaska (Soldotna) near the famous Kenai River where it's common to catch 80 lb. King Salmon every summer. South of my town is a place called Homer where charter boats often catch Halibut in excess of 300 lbs.\nWe have moose the size of Clydesdales in our yard munching on the bushes in the winters and the flowers in the summer. One of the hazards of driving at night where I live is the moose that cross the hiways. You think hitting a deer is bad???\nThe Northern Lights will absolutely stun you and the beauty of Mt. McKinley (second tallest mountain in the world) and the Alaska Range will steal your breath.\nThe Sun shines 24 hours a day in the summer where I work and farms in the Matanuska Valley grow 80 lb cabbages. \nI know some of this might sound unbelievable but google the names of the places I've mentioned. \nAlaska, is an amazing and enchanting land!

Alaska.  In fact it is the ONLY state that was ever part of the Russia/the Soviet Union.

Alaska is beautiful. I was born and raised there. I live in San Antonio right now, with my husband who is in the military. As soon as he gets out we are going back home. Summers there are perfect (70-80 degrees)for fishing, hunting, tons of places to go 4-wheeling, but winters can get a little cold. But you have snow machining, snowboarding, and skiing to keep ya warmed up.

In Alaska there is a law that Moose may not be viewed from an airplane.\n\nI thought that was funny.

You could say that Alaska is part of the Pacific Coast region, or that Alaska is its own region.  After all, a whole other country, Canada, sits between Alaska and most of the rest of the USA.
