Play as Youngstown, Ohio
Youngstown is a sovereign city-nation of Ohio — three-city industrial triangle, polymers, lake shipping. Ohio sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Youngstown 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 Youngstown.
Youngstown is offering citizenship
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.

Apply for CitizenshipOhio is the Crown
Ohio 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 (113,197 soldiers, 4,164 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 Youngstown
Which states border Youngstown?
Inside Ohio you'll be neighbours with Dayton, Akron and Toledo. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can Ohio help me in a war from Youngstown?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Ohio will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Can two players claim Youngstown?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Youngstown. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Is playing from Youngstown free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Youngstown plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Who runs Ohio while I hold Youngstown?
The AI does. Ohio keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Youngstown — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
