    Minnesota is the Crown

    Minnesota 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 (65,758 soldiers, 2,260 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 Mankato

    Why claim Mankato instead of another state?

    Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Mankato puts you in Minnesota's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.

    What do I do first after claiming Mankato?

    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.

    Is playing from Mankato free?

    Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Mankato plays in your browser on desktop or phone.

    Can two players claim Mankato?

    Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Mankato. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.

    Which states border Mankato?

    Inside Minnesota you'll be neighbours with Rochester, Duluth and Minneapolis. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
