They don't have to be. You have seen maps of the world on one page where everything is in its place, within the technical limits of any map projection. But when they are insets, it is probably because the cartographer wants the map sections to be large enough on the page to give adequate details. If the scale of the map makes the 'lower forty eight' states large enough for reasonable detail, then the page would have to be much too big to include Hawaii which is far off the western coast, or Alaska which is a huge area spreading to the north and west. It is a matter of balancing scale against the desired level of detail.

No. Alaska was never a country and it has been a state since 1959.

Most did not, and those like Secretary of State Seward and President Johnson could not find solid arguments that would support Alaska's Purchase. For most it was just an after thought and the real prize was getting Russia out of the New World and clearing any Russian claims to Oregon Territory.

There are several popular and common ways to heat homes in Alaska. Some heat with electric heat, gas, oil, propane and firewood. Many of the homes and cabins outside of the cities use either wood or oil. Wood is the most common in those areas because it's easily obtained and free, but some use oil heaters called "monitors" because they allow you to keep your home or cabin warm while you're gone without worrying about the fire in your wood stove going out. Geothermal is also a way to heat homes. It uses the heat from the earths core to heat your home. Alaska has a lot of geothermal activity to include hot springs and many volcanoes in the south. There are even some homes and businesses that are heated directly from the water coming out of the ground at hot springs, this is not common but there are some.
