π = MARGINAL POWER PER SOL

Your SOL becomes the nation's wealth the moment you buy. The math favors underdogs — π tells you where a marginal SOL buys the most army.

If you skip the math

You don't need anything below this section to play:

Pick a country. Buy its token. Stake it — staked tokens are your country's soldiers and your double-weight vote. Vote on wars, taxes, and budgets every two days. Argue in your country's chat, lobby your AI president, and watch the news when the bombs drop. If your country wins wars, your token gets bought and your treasury grows. If it falls, you claim refugee compensation in the conqueror's token — or join the resistance.

Everything else in this document exists so the people who want to game the system can verify that the system expects them.

THAT'S THE WHOLE GAME. EVERYTHING ELSE — BONDS, SANCTIONS, DETERRENCE, ESPIONAGE — IS OPTIONAL DEPTH. READ THE RULES →

Betrayal of the season

THE POWERBLOC WIREEPOCH 05 · RESOLUTION NIGHT

Japan Pledged 4,100 CP to the Indian Line. The Order Was Never Filed.

Fourteen messages over two days. A staging pact signed in the open. Then, at resolution, silence — Tokyo's pledge to the defense of Mumbai never arrived, and the Chinese conventional column broke through against a defense 30% lighter than every model predicted. The deception engine classifies the omission as intentional; Japan's lie ledger moves from 4 to 5.
