Play as Houston, Texas
Houston is a sovereign city-nation of Texas — energy superpower, sprawling metros, long southern border. Texas sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Houston 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 Houston.
Houston 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.

Apply for CitizenshipTexas is the Crown
Texas 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 (106,013 soldiers, 3,882 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 Houston
What do I do first after claiming Houston?
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 Houston instead of another state?
Location shapes trade proximity, who sees your mobilisations, and which coalition armies are cheap to reach. Houston puts you in Texas's wider interior, which is a different opening than the capital.
Is playing from Houston free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Houston plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Can two players claim Houston?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Houston. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Which states border Houston?
Inside Texas you'll be neighbours with Amarillo, Galveston and Lubbock. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
