In the late 19th century, the Far Eastern Russian region of Chukotka saw a great deal of American involvement, with traders buying up a great deal of land, opening up businesses, in relation to the Yukon gold rush. The Russian authorities tried to put a stop to such involvement, with only limited success; only when the Americans chose to leave after a while did it end. The challenge is to somehow have it so the US government has some sort of formal involvement in the region.
