I went to the most northern town in America to make a short documentary about what the town was actually like. This is hopefully a good depiction of Barrow Alaska, the most northern town in the United States.

I live in Alaska. I'm seeing comments saying "Why would anyone want to live there." Please don't say that. There are lots of other towns above and under the Arctic Circle too. You have to realize that living there is a way of life, (hunting, fishing, whaling, etc). I know this because I know some people who live in Barrow and also I'm Yupi'k, which is one of many cultures here in Alaska. Living up here isn't always cold and dark, that happens in the winter time. Plus its beautiful. Even in the city!

Fires are surprisingly dangerous when it's so cold that there's no liquid water around. Things can actually get really dry when it never rains, only snow. Fire don't really care about temperature. When you're 2500 degrees, everywhere is cold.

Mantana Jansi just having a government is not good enough for a state to survive on its own. It needs an economy, most of the states receive federal funding to help rebuild roads and fund education. California however, would probably do the best on its own since its economy is about as big as France's. Then there is also military defense, every state would have no way to defend itself from other countries. It'll just be one giant disaster.
