Michigan sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids.

Apply for CitizenshipMichigan is the Crown
Michigan 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 (22,421 soldiers, 555 tanks) and holds a defensive 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 Grand Rapids
Which states border Grand Rapids?
Inside Michigan you'll be neighbours with Sterling Heights, Traverse City and Flint. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Grand Rapids?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Grand Rapids. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Can Michigan help me in a war from Grand Rapids?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Michigan 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 Grand Rapids free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Grand Rapids plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Why claim Grand Rapids instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Grand Rapids puts you in Michigan's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
