Play as Birmingham, Alabama
Birmingham is a sovereign city-nation of Alabama — Gulf coast shipbuilding, steel country, deep river valleys. Alabama sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Birmingham runs its own treasury, its own resources, and it offers citizenship to anyone who asks. Claim it, found your nation, and your capital lands on the real coordinates of Birmingham.

Open borders. Anyone can apply, no reputation check, no invitation needed. City-nations carry 50% more money and resources than an ordinary state, and they share what they hold with their citizens.

Alabama doesn't compete with its cities — it presides over them as the federation head, the seat of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. It sets the bloc budget, fields the federal army (56,295 soldiers, 1,925 tanks) and holds a balanced posture. If you go to war, you can pay the Crown in SFC dollars to fight alongside you, provided it's backing three or fewer wars at that moment.

Questions about Birmingham
Which states border Birmingham?
Inside Alabama you'll be neighbours with Decatur, Dothan and Auburn. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Birmingham?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Birmingham. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Can Alabama help me in a war from Birmingham?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Alabama will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Is playing from Birmingham free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Birmingham plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Who runs Alabama while I hold Birmingham?
The AI does. Alabama keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Birmingham — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
