Apply for CitizenshipNew Jersey is the Crown
New Jersey 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 (58,343 soldiers, 2,006 tanks) and holds a militaristic 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 Paterson
Who runs New Jersey while I hold Paterson?
The AI does. New Jersey keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Paterson — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Can New Jersey help me in a war from Paterson?
Yes, for SFC dollars. New Jersey 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 Paterson?
Inside New Jersey you'll be neighbours with Newark, Jersey City and Trenton. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Paterson?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Paterson. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
