Play as Portland, Maine
Portland is a sovereign city-nation of Maine — rocky north Atlantic coast, lobster fleets, deep forest. Maine sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Portland 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 Portland.

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.

Maine 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 (132,431 soldiers, 4,883 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 Portland
Who runs Maine while I hold Portland?
The AI does. Maine keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Portland — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Can I play as Portland?
Yes. Portland is a sovereign city-nation of Maine, which offers citizenship to anyone, in the United States Coalition. Apply for citizenship, found your nation, and your capital lands on Portland's real coordinates.
Can Maine help me in a war from Portland?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Maine will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Which states border Portland?
Inside Maine you'll be neighbours with Augusta, Bangor and Lewiston. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Portland?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Portland. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
