Play as Salem, Oregon
Salem is a sovereign city-nation of Oregon — timber and tech, volcanic Cascades, rugged Pacific coast. Oregon sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Salem 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 Salem.
Salem 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 CitizenshipOregon is the Crown
Oregon 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 (117,245 soldiers, 4,286 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 Salem
Is playing from Salem free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Salem plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can two players claim Salem?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Salem. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Which states border Salem?
Inside Oregon you'll be neighbours with Medford, Corvallis and Bend. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Why claim Salem instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Salem puts you in Oregon's seat of power, which is a different opening than the capital.
Can Oregon help me in a war from Salem?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Oregon will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
