Play as Washington
Washington is aerospace and software, deepwater sound, rainforest and desert. 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 8 cities as your home state and grow your own nation from there.

Hiring Washington in a war
The coalition operates on its own. When you're at war you can open the Coalition War Aid panel and pay Washington 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
Can I ever take over Washington itself?
No. Coalition countries are permanent AI states. Your route to power is building a nation inside one and out-growing everyone around you, not conquering the AI government.
What is Washington good at?
Washington is aerospace and software, deepwater sound, rainforest and desert. That shapes the economy around Olympia and the kinds of pressure the AI applies to its region — worth reading before you decide where to plant your capital.
How do I join Washington?
Use the Apply for Citizenship button, create your free account, and found your nation. During setup you pick Washington as your country and claim one of its cities as your home state.
Is playing in Washington free?
Yes. Every coalition country, every city page and every game system is free in the browser. Nothing about Washington is behind a paywall.
Does joining Washington lock me into the coalition?
Your home state anchors your capital inside Washington, but your diplomacy stays your own. You can ally with world nations outside the United States Coalition and still hire coalition armies when it suits you.
