 Alaska
• is a state located in the northwest extremity of the United States West Coast,
just across the Bering Strait from Asia. An exclave of the U.S., it borders
the Canadian province of British Columbia and territory of Yukon to the east and
southeast and has a maritime border with Russia's Chukotka Autonomous
Okrug to the west. To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas of the Arctic
Ocean, while the Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest.
• Alaska is the largest U.S. state by area and the seventh largest subnational
division in the world. It is the third least populous and the most sparsely
populated state, but by far the continent's most populous territory located
mostly north of the 60th parallel, with an estimated population of 738,432 as
2015—more than quadruple the combined populations of Northern Canada
and Greenland.  Approximately half of Alaska's residents live within
the Anchorage metropolitan area. The state capital of Juneau is the
second largest city in the United States by area, comprising more territory than
the states of Rhode Island and Delaware.
 Eight five-pointed stars are depicted on the blue background of the flag:
seven of them symbolize the constellation Ursa Major, and the eighth - the
Polar Star.

Unlike most other US states, Borough is the administrative district of Alaska.
More importantly, another difference is that the 15 districts and
municipalities of Anchorage cover only part of Alaska. The rest of the territory
does not have enough population to be able to enumerate the population.
There are 11 such zones in Alaska.
