Play as Fresno, California
Fresno is a sovereign city-nation of California — largest economy in the coalition, tech, film, agriculture, ports. California sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Fresno 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 Fresno.
Fresno is offering citizenship
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.

California 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 (30,878 soldiers, 888 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 Fresno
Can California help me in a war from Fresno?
Yes, for SFC dollars. California will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Who runs California while I hold Fresno?
The AI does. California keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Fresno — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Which states border Fresno?
Inside California you'll be neighbours with San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Fresno?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Fresno. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Is playing from Fresno free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Fresno plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
