Raleigh is a sovereign city-nation of North Carolina — research triangle, banking hub, Appalachian to Outer Banks. North Carolina sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Raleigh 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 Raleigh.

Apply for CitizenshipNorth Carolina is the Crown
North Carolina 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 (84,269 soldiers, 3,026 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 Raleigh
Can North Carolina help me in a war from Raleigh?
Yes, for SFC dollars. North Carolina 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 Raleigh?
Inside North Carolina you'll be neighbours with Fayetteville, Wilmington and Asheville. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Raleigh?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Raleigh. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Who runs North Carolina while I hold Raleigh?
The AI does. North Carolina keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Raleigh — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
