Choose a side. Take a state. Become its Master.
Discover where you stand โ or put your American political knowledge to the test.
States War is a live U.S. political territory game, opinion forum, and state-by-state chat. Pick a state, vote Republican or Democratic, comment, debate, chat, or become its State Master.
State control is decided by permanent Master voting power plus public votes cast within the latest rolling 24 hours. If a state has no vote data, its initial color reflects the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Masters can leave a public name, message, image, or Youtube while adding permanent voting power for their side. A takeover itself does not automatically change the state's color.
No account is required for normal participation. Activity is designed to be largely anonymous, with browser-based limits used for votes, comments, and reactions.
Click any state to enter the battle.
A State Master is the latest person to take over a state and hold the featured Master position until someone else takes it.
Becoming Master does not automatically change the state's color. It only adds permanent voting power to the selected Republican or Democratic side. Neutral Masters add no voting power.
While featured, a Master can show a public name and message โ plus supported media or Youtube โ to people visiting that state. Public Master messages may also appear in the live ticker on the main battlefield.
Every takeover raises that state's price by $1.
Names, X profiles, links, images, and messages are user-submitted. States War does not verify that a Master is the person or organization they claim to be.
State control is permanent Master voting power plus public votes from the latest rolling 24 hours.
Each public voter can cast one vote per state every 24 hours. Before a new vote is submitted, a 10-second O/X history and politics quiz appears. A correct answer makes that public vote count as 2 votes; a wrong answer or timeout counts as 1. An active vote can be cancelled, but the original 24-hour window still applies. Public votes disappear exactly 24 hours after casting.
Republican and Democratic Masters permanently add voting power equal to the takeover number. Neutral Masters add no voting power.
A takeover does not automatically flip the state. A tie keeps the existing party. With no vote data at all, the 2024 presidential-election result is used.
