Russian-American Company
Early reconnaissance of Alaska show a rich population of sea otters. Their Fur is a highly sought-after commodity, and as such, a proposal has been put forth to establish a chartered company of sorts to ensure the region does not fall under foreign influences. Let us engage in trade with the local tribes and construct a series of Overseas Trading Post structures to strengthen our claim and secure an ample supply.

3720historical_info = flavor_rus.41.historical_info The RAC, or Russian-American Company, was created to manage Russian affairs in North America. The region of Alaska was rich in sea otters and constant demand of fur meant that explorers saw it profitable to establish settlements for fur trading and resource extraction. The company would continue to operate until its dissolution in the mid-eighteenth century due to overhunting and changing market conditions.
