Alaska is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 12 video games as set here and nothing finer. The dot sits at its centre, which is not where anything happens: it stands in for the whole area. Nothing is claimed to have been filmed at this point, and no film or series is placed this way anywhere on the atlas.
8 productions were filmed at 20 places inside Alaska rather than at Alaska itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

“The central plot is set in the harsh physical environment of Alaskan snowy plains and revolves around discovering the source of the blizzard that has ravaged Nuna's village and restoring balance to nature.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Alaska, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
