Actually not so much. It's populated mostly by descendants of European immigrants who ran the indigenous peoples off to Tierra del Fuego. The eurotrash live off various extraction industries, mostly copper mines, but also lumber and fishing. Lots of salmon in those rivers.

Our sheriff candidates just talk about boring stuff like basic safety. None of that bad-ass creative "law" enforcement.
