Hey, have you ever been to Alaska? It's the largest US state.
Yeah, I've been to a few places in Alaska.
Which places? I hear it's the most sparsely populated of the states.
Anchorage, Juneau, Denali, it seems the biggest cities are near the south coast.
That's awesome! Alaska has a border with Canada to the east and also with Russia to the west.
Russia, really? I didn't know it went that far.
Yeah it's the largest US state by area.
I didn't know that, that makes sense.
Yeah, it makes sense that its economy is largely based on its natural resources like fishing, oil and natural gas production.
With all that land and so few people, I bet they make the most of it.
