Devia,
Let us pit State against State in a challenge for dominion of America, perhaps even North and Central America if we're feeling a little Imperial.
You choose a home state, i.e. 'New York', Illinois, California 'etc', assess its military strength and make your move on a rival.
Alliances are encouraged!
All US governing States and Federal Territories apply.
You make them capable!
Maps for reference,
