Play as Lowell, Massachusetts
Lowell is a sovereign city-nation of Massachusetts — universities, biotech, historic Atlantic ports. Massachusetts sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Lowell 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 Lowell.

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 CitizenshipMassachusetts is the Crown
Massachusetts 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 (101,274 soldiers, 3,658 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 Lowell
Which states border Lowell?
Inside Massachusetts you'll be neighbours with Cambridge, New Bedford and Springfield. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can Massachusetts help me in a war from Lowell?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Massachusetts will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Can two players claim Lowell?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Lowell. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Who runs Massachusetts while I hold Lowell?
The AI does. Massachusetts keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Lowell — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
