Play as Aberdeen, South Dakota
Aberdeen is a sovereign city-nation of South Dakota — Black Hills, ranch country, banking-friendly plains. South Dakota sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen.

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 Dakota 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 (101,153 soldiers, 3,653 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 Aberdeen
Can two players claim Aberdeen?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Aberdeen. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Which states border Aberdeen?
Inside South Dakota you'll be neighbours with Pierre, Sioux Falls and Rapid City. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Is playing from Aberdeen free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Aberdeen plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can South Dakota help me in a war from Aberdeen?
Yes, for SFC dollars. South Dakota will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Why claim Aberdeen instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Aberdeen puts you in South Dakota's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
