Play as Paducah, Kentucky
Paducah is a sovereign city-nation of Kentucky — bourbon country, horse farms, coal ridges, river commerce. Kentucky sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Paducah 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 Paducah.

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 CitizenshipKentucky is the Crown
Kentucky 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 (119,451 soldiers, 4,373 tanks) and holds a militaristic 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 Paducah
Which states border Paducah?
Inside Kentucky you'll be neighbours with Frankfort, Louisville and Lexington. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Paducah?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Paducah. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Can Kentucky help me in a war from Paducah?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Kentucky will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Is playing from Paducah free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Paducah plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Who runs Kentucky while I hold Paducah?
The AI does. Kentucky keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Paducah — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
