Some have wondered... since Alaska has hardly anything in it now, what would make it interesting in Rifts? My first answer, of course, is that Alaska has great things going for it. Gold, Oil, Lumber... any player of Warcraft will tell you how valuble these things are. Also, it has a harsh, rugged history to go along with it's climate. In the time of Rifts, all manner of Beasts roam the icy planes. Sparce communtities of men struggle to maintain existance. And worse, the mystic lands of the north have spawned a number of large Ley Lines and from the Rifts have come Demons unique to the land. They pose a threat not just to the frozen wastes, but also all of North America and Russia should their plans succeed.
Besides- they did a sourse book on Canada, for crying out loud! If Palladium books can make money off Mounties, why can't I do Alaska???
