Play as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh is a sovereign city-nation of Pennsylvania — founding-era cities, steel valleys, Appalachian coalfields. Pennsylvania sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh 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.

Pennsylvania 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 (100,511 soldiers, 3,628 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 Pittsburgh
Who runs Pennsylvania while I hold Pittsburgh?
The AI does. Pennsylvania keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Pittsburgh — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Can I play as Pittsburgh?
Yes. Pittsburgh is a sovereign city-nation of Pennsylvania, which offers citizenship to anyone, in the United States Coalition. Apply for citizenship, found your nation, and your capital lands on Pittsburgh's real coordinates.
Can Pennsylvania help me in a war from Pittsburgh?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Pennsylvania 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 Pittsburgh?
Inside Pennsylvania you'll be neighbours with Allentown, Philadelphia and Erie. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Pittsburgh?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Pittsburgh. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
