History:
Alyaska had been a colony for the Russian Empire since 1779, no where near as built up as many of the other European colonies like New Spain, Virginia, or Brazil it showed promise as a colony but never much was profitable. However the Emperors still attempted to keep the Colony going beveling that one day it would pay off and be profitable for the Empire. Boy were they right... however in not the way they had originally hoped.
In the year 1812 Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French and King of Italy invaded the Russian Empire, having already betrayed and stripped Poland from Russia and created the Duchy of Warsaw. Napoleon decided to invade the Empire, and reaching the gates of Moscow. Alexander I was forced to retreat to Arkhangelsk, as the Russian forces slowly continued to lose battles, Alexander was forced to retreat to Russian America where he reigned as Emperor until Napoleon's final Defeat at Waterloo in 1815.
However by that time the People of Russia had a taste of liberalism, and while Alexander initially in his reign was once a supporter of Limited Liberalism, The betrayals of Napoleon as well as various plots against his life by revolutionaries after his return to Russia had shaken his faith in Liberalism. Finally in September of 1815, just three months after his return as Emperor revolutionaries forced him out of his palace, fearing for his life Alexander and his supporters retreated back to Novoarkhangelsk. Days later the Grand Russian Confederation was proclaimed.
However in the ensuing chaos Alexander and his loyalists were able to retake Kamchatka and a Majority of the Russian Far East before the Confederation was able to.
As various issues in Canada and Britain expounded Alexander pushed harder for his claims into British Columbia and the Yukon. Alexander pushed his forces into the Yukon and British Columbia and claimed the lands for his own. These lands however are mostly Anglo and are unaccustomed to Tsarist Aristocracy. While currently having nominal freedoms they are well aware that the Tsarist's clamp could come down on them at any moment, and they are unwilling to lose their liberties. Drastic liberal measures will have to be taken in regards to the Anglo Population of Alyaska if they are to remain part of the Tsardom.
