Play as Waterloo, Iowa
Waterloo is a sovereign city-nation of Iowa — corn belt heartland, insurance capital, biofuel production. Iowa sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Waterloo 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 Waterloo.

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.

Apply for CitizenshipIowa is the Crown
Iowa 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 (130,860 soldiers, 4,822 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 Waterloo
Can two players claim Waterloo?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Waterloo. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Which states border Waterloo?
Inside Iowa you'll be neighbours with Ames, Iowa City and Dubuque. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Is playing from Waterloo free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Waterloo plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can Iowa help me in a war from Waterloo?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Iowa will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Why claim Waterloo instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Waterloo puts you in Iowa's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
