Play as Helena, Montana
Helena is a sovereign city-nation of Montana — big sky ranching, mountain passes, mineral wealth. Montana sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Helena 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 Helena.

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.

Montana 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 (108,720 soldiers, 3,951 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 Helena
Who runs Montana while I hold Helena?
The AI does. Montana keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Helena — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Can Montana help me in a war from Helena?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Montana will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Which states border Helena?
Inside Montana you'll be neighbours with Bozeman, Butte and Great Falls. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Helena?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Helena. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Can I play as Helena?
Yes. Helena is the capital city-nation of Montana, which offers citizenship to anyone, in the United States Coalition. Apply for citizenship, found your nation, and your capital lands on Helena's real coordinates.
