Play as Rutland, Vermont
Rutland is a sovereign city-nation of Vermont — green mountains, dairy and maple, small close-knit towns. Vermont sits above it as the federation head, the Crown of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. Rutland 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 Rutland.
Rutland 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 CitizenshipVermont is the Crown
Vermont 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 (106,479 soldiers, 3,900 tanks) and holds a defensive 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 Rutland
Which states border Rutland?
Inside Vermont you'll be neighbours with Stowe, Bennington and Brattleboro. Any of them can be claimed by another real player, so the state you pick decides who's next door.
Can two players claim Rutland?
Each player anchors their own nation, and multiple nations can trace their origin to Rutland. What separates you is what you build — population, treasury, technology and army.
Can Vermont help me in a war from Rutland?
Yes, for SFC dollars. Vermont will join your side while it's backing 3 wars or fewer, which makes early declarations cheaper to support than late ones.
Is playing from Rutland free?
Yes, entirely. No download, no paywall, no premium tier — Rutland plays in your browser on desktop or phone.
Who runs Vermont while I hold Rutland?
The AI does. Vermont keeps its own treasury, army and war record no matter who claims Rutland — you're a sovereign nation anchored inside it, not its government.
