What if Jermak´s expeditions and exploration to the Pacific Coast of Sibiria after military conquest of Sibir are taken further much earlier and lead to a cossack expedition/discovery of Alaska. Let´s say the Cossack´s exploring the wild country of Alsaka more than one century before Steller´s expedition. Imagine, Cossack´s making treaties with Aleuteans,Inuit and Native Americans and also establish a rich pelt trade. The cossack´s self cofidence allows them to declare Hetmanates on Alaska´s soil and ignore tsarist overlords . Maybe a 13 colonies esque parallel for cossacks ? Independant Repbublic-esque cossack nation -The United Hetmanates ?
