Play as Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Rio Rancho is a sovereign city-nation of New Mexico — high desert, nuclear laboratories, ancient pueblo culture. New Mexico sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Rio Rancho 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 Rio Rancho.

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.

New Mexico 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 (30,063 soldiers, 856 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 Rio Rancho
Can two players claim Rio Rancho?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Rio Rancho. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Is playing from Rio Rancho free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Rio Rancho plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Which states border Rio Rancho?
Inside New Mexico you'll be neighbours with Farmington, Roswell and Las Cruces. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can New Mexico help me in a war from Rio Rancho?
Yes, for SFC dollars. New Mexico will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Why claim Rio Rancho instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Rio Rancho puts you in New Mexico's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
