Miranda is required ONLY if the person becomes a suspect and is going to asked question directly related to the crime. Most departments require that any person put under arrest be read Miranda. but if Miranda is read to many times it can be construed as coercive. When I locked up sombody for DWI I did not read maranda, I had no need to ask questions. observation was enough, and the tests are required by implied consent. When I caught a bad guy in flagrante delicto, no need for questions

mikeysco, maybe if we both say it, it will stay said.
The police are required to give a Miranda warning only if you are in custody and only if they want to interrogate you.
(Actually, they are required to do so only if they want to interrogate you and later admit anything you say into evidence.)
They are NOT required to give a Miranda warning if they do not intend to interrogate you while in custody. NOT. NOT EVER.
ADD: It does not matter whether the crime is defined by municipal, state, or federal law. If you are in custody (whether or not you are being called a "suspect") and if you are asked questions, or the functional equivalent, which reasonably could elicit an incriminating response (even if not directly related to an offense under investigation), if this is not preceded by a Miranda advisal and waiver the answers will be inadmissible in a criminal proceeding.

Yes, Alaska is still part of the United States. They have to read you your Miranda rights.

Miranda rights only have to be read to you if you are the target of an investigation and the police are asking you questions pertaining to that crime. General questions such as your name, birthday, etc. do not pertain to the miranda.

it depends. are you arrested AND being questioned. if you're only arrested and the police aren't questioning you about the crime you committed, then they don't have to read you your Miranda rights, however if you are arrested and they are questioning you about the crime, then they have to read you your Miranda.

Yes by law when you are arrested (not detained) then you must be read your Miranda Rights. This is whenever you are on U.S. Territory

Yes ... anywhere in the United States. You have to be informed of your rights so you're clear on what you can and can't do or say. It's to prevent accidental confession or entrapment. You also can have a lawyer appointed for you if you can't actually afford to pay for one you might choose on your own. The lawyer is necessary to be certain your constitutional rights aren't violated.
