[{"role": "system", "content": "Alaska () is a U.S. state located in the northwest extremity of North America. The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east, its most extreme western part is Attu Island, and it has a maritime border with Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas\u2013the southern parts of the Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest. It is the largest state in the United States by area and the  seventh largest subnational division in the world. In addition, it is the 3rd least populous and the most sparsely populated of the 50 United States; nevertheless, it is by far the most populous territory located mostly north of the 60th parallel in North America, its population (the total estimated at 738,432 by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2015) more than quadrupling the combined populations of Northern Canada and Greenland. Approximately half of Alaska's residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Alaska's economy is dominated by the fishing, natural gas, and oil industries, resources which it has in abundance. Military bases and tourism are also a significant part of the economy.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Ever been to Alaska? I've never been but it looks gorgeous, especially since I've never been that far northwest in the US."}, {"role": "user", "content": "No! And I agree! I've known people who have gone on Alaskan cruises, and loved it. If I knew that the environmental impact of those cruises was minimal, I'd be tempted."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I would love to go on one of those! There's a lot to look at, especially since it's the largest state in the US."}, {"role": "user", "content": "True -- I wonder how much of the state you could cover. I imagine there's something for everyone. I'd also love to see the *night sky* and the aurora borealis. I'd brave the cold for that!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh yeah, that would look beautiful! It's pretty insane to think that Alaska is the seventh largest subnational division in the world!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Interesting -- I've never heard that term. What does \"largest subnational division\" mean? Curious!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I believe that it means that it is a division like a state or province, but that it isn't a nation or country. It's also the 3rd least populous of the states."}, {"role": "user", "content": "You know what? I would have guessed *least* populous, so that's interesting. I wonder what the other two states are with less people."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah I have no idea what other states could be lower than Alaska. On another note, Alaska's economy is mostly dominated by things like natural gas and fishing."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That, I knew, because my husband is in the energy business. Interestingly, I know someone who owns a fishery there as well! Time for a visit ;-)"}]
