South Dakota sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Watertown 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 Watertown.

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 Watertown
Can South Dakota help me in a war from Watertown?
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.
Who runs South Dakota while I hold Watertown?
The AI does. South Dakota keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Watertown — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
Which states border Watertown?
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.
Can two players claim Watertown?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Watertown. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
