New Bedford 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. New Bedford 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 New Bedford.

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 New Bedford
Is playing from New Bedford free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — New Bedford plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Why claim New Bedford instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. New Bedford puts you in Massachusetts's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
Can two players claim New Bedford?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to New Bedford. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Which states border New Bedford?
Inside Massachusetts you'll be neighbours with Worcester, Springfield and Cambridge. 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 New Bedford?
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.
