Play as Arizona
Arizona is desert megacities, copper mines, canyon highlands. Inside the United States Coalition it's a sovereign, fully AI-run country with its own treasury, army and war record. You don't take it over — you claim one of its 8 cities as your home state and grow your own nation from there.

Hiring Arizona in a war
The coalition operates on its own. When you're at war you can open the Coalition War Aid panel and pay Arizona in SFC dollars to commit its forces to your side. It will only accept if it's currently aiding 3 or fewer wars — past that, its army is spoken for and you'll need another backer.
FAQ
Can I ever take over Arizona itself?
No. Coalition countries are permanent AI states. Your route to power is building a nation inside one and out-growing everyone around you, not conquering the AI government.
What is Arizona good at?
Arizona is desert megacities, copper mines, canyon highlands. That shapes the economy around Phoenix and the kinds of pressure the AI applies to its region — worth reading before you decide where to plant your capital.
Is playing in Arizona free?
Yes. Every coalition country, every city page and every game system is free in the browser. Nothing about Arizona is behind a paywall.
Does joining Arizona lock me into the coalition?
Your home state anchors your capital inside Arizona, but your diplomacy stays your own. You can ally with world nations outside the United States Coalition and still hire coalition armies when it suits you.
Who are Arizona's neighbours in the coalition?
In the Mountain West Bloc bloc it sits alongside Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico. Those are the AI countries whose posture you'll feel first — in trade prices, in border tension, and in who's available to hire when a war starts.
