Nome, Alaska is located on the south side of the Seward Penninsula and is home to around 3,700 people. First founded in 1898, its population exploded to 10,000 in the first year due to the discovery of gold on the shores of the Bering Sea. Prior to that, the land was occupied by the Inupiaq and Yupik Indigenous people who fell under Russian sovereignty from 1744 to 1867; then, the Alaskan Purchase deeded that expansive territory to the USA. Going way back in history to unknown times, the Seward Penninsula was part of the Bering land bridge, and Nome’s location was the main Customs Operations back then. As new pilgrims entered North America, 1 of the first Capitalists set up shop there to forcibly collect fees from the new immigrants entering the continent. Because money wasn’t invented back then, the universal bartering commodity was gold, a rare and shiny element. Whatever happened to the original toll takers is a mystery, but common sense and human behavior can correctly answer that question. The custom agents were inundated with people fleeing Asia because of political reasons, so the agents hired the Inuits, the very first North American occupants, who turned north upon entering and spent their coastal lives living off seals, walrus, and small whales. The custom agents employed this group just like the Roman Empire hired mercenaries to enforce their laws upon the conquered lands. Everything worked fine until the Romans invaded the homeland of their mercenaries; then, the shit hit the fan. When the second wave of immigrants flooded the Bering land bridge, the Inuit soldiers did not take kindly to their relatives being fleeced, so they killed the custom agents and threw their gold onto the ocean beaches, because you can’t eat gold. The US military should take heed. The Roman Empire is no more, and neither will be the US, when you go to war with the country that is now supplying your soldiers.
