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.

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.

Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to San Jose. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
