Play as Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston is a sovereign city-nation of South Carolina — Atlantic ports, resort coast, growing auto assembly. South Carolina sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Charleston 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 Charleston.
Charleston 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.

South Carolina 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 (90,446 soldiers, 3,269 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 Charleston
What do I do first after claiming Charleston?
Set your tax rate, collect your first day's revenue, pick a government, and build infrastructure before you buy soldiers. Military upkeep sinks new nations faster than any enemy does.
Why claim Charleston instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Charleston puts you in South Carolina's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
Is playing from Charleston free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Charleston plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can two players claim Charleston?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Charleston. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Which states border Charleston?
Inside South Carolina you'll be neighbours with Hilton Head Island, Spartanburg and Rock Hill. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
