Apply for CitizenshipNorth Dakota is the Crown
North Dakota 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 (25,613 soldiers, 681 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 Grand Forks
Who runs North Dakota while I hold Grand Forks?
The AI does. North Dakota keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Grand Forks — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Can North Dakota help me in a war from Grand Forks?
Yes, for SFC dollars. North Dakota 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 Grand Forks?
Inside North Dakota you'll be neighbours with Fargo, Minot and Williston. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Grand Forks?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Grand Forks. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
