There are no counties in Alaska. Some of the more populated areas are organized into Boroughs, Anchorage is incorporated as a municipality, but most of the state has no local government whatsoever. Alaska is almost three times the size of Texas and is spread over what would normally be four time zones, and yet we have just over 600,000 people living here.

There are distinct geographical areas of the state that people seem to identify with (Southeast Panhandle, Interior, Kenai, Mat-Su, North Slope, Yukon-Kuskoquim Delta, Aleutian Chain, Bristol Bay, Pribilofs, etc.) There is also a rivalry between those living in the "bush" and city folks. But there is a fierce loyalty from most of the citizens to this state called "The Last Frontier". We fight amoungst ourselves all the time, but band together if anyone criticizes us from outside.
