Play as Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is founding-era cities, steel valleys, Appalachian coalfields. Inside the United States Coalition it's a sovereign, fully AI-run country with its own treasury, army and war record. You don't take it over — you claim one of its 8 cities as your home state and grow your own nation from there.

Hiring Pennsylvania in a war
The coalition operates on its own. When you're at war you can open the Coalition War Aid panel and pay Pennsylvania in SFC dollars to commit its forces to your side. It will only accept if it's currently aiding 3 or fewer wars — past that, its army is spoken for and you'll need another backer.
FAQ
How much does Pennsylvania's war aid cost?
The price scales with its military strength, so a heavily-armed coalition country charges more than a small one. You'll see the exact figure and its current aid load in the Coalition War Aid panel during any active war.
Will Pennsylvania fight for me?
For a price. Pay Pennsylvania in SFC dollars during a war and its AI forces commit to your side, provided it's currently backing 3 wars or fewer. Past that its army is already spoken for.
Who are Pennsylvania's neighbours in the coalition?
In the Northeast Bloc bloc it sits alongside Vermont, Rhode Island and New York. Those are the AI countries whose posture you'll feel first — in trade prices, in border tension, and in who's available to hire when a war starts.
Does joining Pennsylvania lock me into the coalition?
Your home state anchors your capital inside Pennsylvania, but your diplomacy stays your own. You can ally with world nations outside the United States Coalition and still hire coalition armies when it suits you.
Is playing in Pennsylvania free?
Yes. Every coalition country, every city page and every game system is free in the browser. Nothing about Pennsylvania is behind a paywall.
