Maryland 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 (24,941 soldiers, 654 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 Frederick
Why claim Frederick instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Frederick puts you in Maryland's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
Is playing from Frederick free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Frederick plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can two players claim Frederick?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Frederick. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
What do I do first after claiming Frederick?
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 Frederick?
Inside Maryland you'll be neighbours with Silver Spring, Rockville and Ocean City. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
