Great Inuit State

From IBWiki

Great Inuit State is the proposed national state for Inuit peoples that would encompass Greenland, northern NAL, the Cambrian Arctic Ocean Territory, and northern and western Alyaska (including the Aleut islands), as well under some interpretations areas of eastern Chukotka. Generally, the idea for such a state is the most supported in Greenland, where the local Scandinavian government is seen as discriminatory against the Inuit majority. The ideas are less popular in NAL as NAL provides funding to the Inuit communities that they would otherwise probably not get. With the increasing findings of natural resources such as oil in the Inuit-populated areas, however, the idea gains more weight, as the Inuits sees the exploitation of the resources as robbing away of their natural wealth.

The major obstacles for the creation of the Great Inuit State are very low population density of the Inuit inhabitted areas and thus high costs for providing basic infrastructure, as well lack of political Inuit unity and the varying degrees of resistance to the possibility of such state from the leaderships of Greenland, Alyaska, the NAL, and Kemr.

The area of the Great Inuit State would be approximately 4 million MILLES QU., thus making it one of the largest states in the world; however, its population would not exceed 350.000 inhabittants.
