Play as Rhode Island
Rhode Island is smallest country in the coalition, sailing capital, dense bays. 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 5 cities as your home state and grow your own nation from there.

Hiring Rhode Island in a war
The coalition operates on its own. When you're at war you can open the Coalition War Aid panel and pay Rhode Island 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
What is Rhode Island good at?
Rhode Island is smallest country in the coalition, sailing capital, dense bays. That shapes the economy around Providence and the kinds of pressure the AI applies to its region — worth reading before you decide where to plant your capital.
Is playing in Rhode Island free?
Yes. Every coalition country, every city page and every game system is free in the browser. Nothing about Rhode Island is behind a paywall.
Can I ever take over Rhode Island itself?
No. Coalition countries are permanent AI states. Your route to power is building a nation inside one and out-growing everyone around you, not conquering the AI government.
Does joining Rhode Island lock me into the coalition?
Your home state anchors your capital inside Rhode Island, 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.
Who are Rhode Island's neighbours in the coalition?
In the Northeast Bloc bloc it sits alongside Delaware, Connecticut and Maine. 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.
