Play as Tennessee
Tennessee is music capitals, freight hub, Smoky Mountain ridges. 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 7 cities as your home state and grow your own nation from there.

Hiring Tennessee in a war
The coalition operates on its own. When you're at war you can open the Coalition War Aid panel and pay Tennessee 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
Is Tennessee player-controlled?
No. Tennessee is AI-governed, like all 50 countries of the United States Coalition and their 378 cities. You claim one of its 7 cities as your home state and grow your own nation from inside its borders.
Which city should I claim in Tennessee?
Any of the 7 — Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville among them. Each has its own page and drops your capital on that city's real coordinates, so the choice is about who your neighbours are.
Will Tennessee fight for me?
For a price. Pay Tennessee in SFC dollars during a war and its AI forces commit to your side, provided it's currently backing 3 wars or fewer. Past that its army is already spoken for.
How much does Tennessee's war aid cost?
The price scales with its military strength, so a heavily-armed coalition country charges more than a small one. You'll see the exact figure and its current aid load in the Coalition War Aid panel during any active war.
Who are Tennessee's neighbours in the coalition?
In the Southern Bloc bloc it sits alongside Arkansas, Florida and Georgia. 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.
