Play as Manhattan, Kansas
Manhattan is a sovereign city-nation of Kansas — wheat plains, aircraft manufacturing, tornado alley. Kansas sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Manhattan 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 Manhattan.
Manhattan 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.

Kansas 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 (81,966 soldiers, 2,935 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 Manhattan
Why claim Manhattan instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Manhattan puts you in Kansas's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
Is playing from Manhattan free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Manhattan plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can two players claim Manhattan?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Manhattan. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
What do I do first after claiming Manhattan?
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 Manhattan?
Inside Kansas you'll be neighbours with Wichita, Topeka and Overland Park. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
