I was a key player in the development of a plan for the Yukon Territory and Alaska each to secede from their respective countries and to unite to form a new country. The plan was hashed out at the annual bonspiel in Whitehorse after an exhausting evening of curling. The plan never got off the ground because: A) We ran out of sufficient funds for beer, and B) An agreement on the name of the new nation could not be agreed upon (Yulaska or Alaskon). But, one of these days someone will spring for an extra round or two and my suggested name compromise for the country (Rupert) will be taken. Then watch out, because a new nation will be born.
