Alaska
Introduction
Statistics
The 1898 discovery of gold deposits in Alaska nearly
doubled the population of this once unexplored territory. In
1959 Alaska became the largest state (by
land-area) admitted into the United
States. With the largest oil field in North
America (Prudhoe Bay) and the largest
crude oil pipeline in the United States
(Trans-Alaska Pipeline), the energy
industry dominates Alaska’s economy. Other than oil,
Alaska's largest sources of wealth are seafood and
tourism. Fish such as salmon,
cod, pollack and crab are major
exports from the state. Alaska
does not charge personal sales
or income taxes, so government
funding comes primarily from
petroleum revenues via the
Alaskan Permanent Fund. This
fund manages oil royalties as a capital investment and
provides residents with annual dividends.
