<p>Helioss: Withdrawing my work</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Alaska_State_Flag.gif|thumb|right|The state flag of Alaska.]]<br /> <br /> '''Alaska''' became the forty-ninth [[state]] to enter into the [[United States of America]] in 1959. Alaska is not contiguous to the rest of the United States, bordering [[Canada]]'s [[Yukon Territory]] to the east. Its [[capital]] is [[Juneau]].<br /> <br /> Alaska's territory was purchased from [[Russia]] in 1867 by the Johnson administration for 7.2 million [[USD]]; its vast [[oil]] and [[gold]] reserves have more than repaid the investment that was once ridiculed as &quot;Seward's Folly.&quot; ([[William H. Seward]] was the [[Secretary of State]] that negotiated Alaska's purchase from Russia.)<br /> <br /> Although it is the largest state by area, it is one of the smallest states by population. Because of its lack of population, Alaska has only one representative in the House (Republican Don Young), and thus three votes in the [[Electoral College]]. Its current [[governor]] is [[Sarah Palin]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:US state]]</div>
