The two greens cause some problems:
1.similar on the main map
2.colors are different in the zone names but very similar on small map.

no, you guessed the right effect, i will work on it
For some reason i want to suggest swapping the position of the title and "the last frontier" but I'm not sure how that would look - If i were making it I'd try it out, just to see if it works, for some reason i want the title at the top...
i will experiment with it, and see what happens, but currently i have it on the bottom so it could be bigger
again, I'm not sure why I'm thinking that. Maybe it's because I'm postponing a philosophy paper that i should be writing and that's fogging my mind........
good luck on the paper

Anyway, i like the idea to add some impassable borders...
I used this map to compare your alaska.

About mountains, i suppose that you've drawn the alaska range with the Mount McKinley, good choice
Why not add the brooks range in the northern part?
I like to see the Yukon river, it'll give to you some good impassable to use.
will do both Yukon river and Brooks range,
Now the colors of the bonus names are good.
On the whole, actually your map seems to be very blue...too blue! you changed the gradient, but i cant' see the purple-dark blue as wcaclimbing suggested to you.Try it! done
Finally try to use a yellow to change the double green, similar to the one you used in an old version on the aleutians zone. If this one doesn't fit very well, try another... Come on! try!try!and try again....there are so many colors, you'll find the right one done
Good work!
thanks!

I undertand why you put them there, but maybe on those skinny territories you can just put the 88 on the water (if possible).i will try it and see if it works/if it is legible
