Play as Carmel, Indiana
Carmel is a sovereign city-nation of Indiana — manufacturing crossroads, steel mills, motorsport heritage. Indiana sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Carmel 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 Carmel.

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.

Indiana 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 (65,927 soldiers, 2,267 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 Carmel
Why claim Carmel instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Carmel puts you in Indiana's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
Is playing from Carmel free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Carmel plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can two players claim Carmel?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Carmel. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
What do I do first after claiming Carmel?
Set your tax rate, collect your first day's revenue, pick a government, and build infrastructure before you buy soldiers. Military upkeep sinks new nations faster than any enemy does.
Which states border Carmel?
Inside Indiana you'll be neighbours with Fort Wayne, Evansville and Indianapolis. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
