Play as West Virginia — a sovereign country
West Virginia is coal ridges, chemical valley, steep Appalachian terrain. Inside the United States Coalition it stands on its own: its own economy, its own military, its own seat on the world map — all of it run by AI. Its capital is Charleston, and its 6 major cities are the states you can claim and represent.

Claim any one of these and your capital lands on the real-world coordinates of that city.
The coalition runs itself
West Virginia is AI-governed, like all 50 coalition countries and their 378 cities. It sets its own budget, builds its own army, and picks its own wars without waiting on anyone. If you end up in a war of your own, you can pay West Virginia in SFC dollars to commit its forces to your side — but only while it's already aiding three wars or fewer. Past that its army is spoken for and you'll need to find another backer.
Running West Virginia like a head of state
Set your tax rate, pick from 20 government types and 24 religions, build infrastructure, hire generals, and trade 32 real-world resources. You're running a budget and a border, not just clicking attack. Everything a Charleston leader would actually worry about — happiness, crime, income, defense — is on the board.
Your neighbors inside the coalition
You share the Southern Bloc with the other countries in your part of the map, and the full coalition with all 50. Trade, alliances, and wars all run against those neighbors plus the 195 other world nations and 8 AI powers.
