How it works
Every city has a price. Every claim changes the map.
Pick a spot
Cities start at $10 — $25 for the biggest metros. States, the presidency and cabinet positions start higher. If it's on the map, it can be claimed.
Put your name on it
Choose a display name and, if you want, a political identity. Your name shows publicly on the map for as long as you hold the spot.
Pay $1 more. Take the spot.
Anyone can take your place by paying at least $1 more than your claim. The map, feed and leaderboards update live.
Defend your territory
Reclaim what was taken, climb the leaderboards, and make your mark on America — city by city.
Questions
Is this a real election or political donation?
No. CivicClaim is a fan-created entertainment platform. Purchases are not votes, not political donations, and give no governmental authority. Political selections are user-generated labels.
What exactly am I buying?
A digital spot on the CivicClaim map: your display name (and optional political label) is shown as the current holder of a city, state name, or fan position until someone claims it over you.
How is the price determined?
Every location shows its current claim. The next claim must be at least $1 higher — you can always offer more. Your payment amount becomes the new displayed price.
What happens when someone outclaims me?
You keep your place in the location's permanent history, but the new claimant becomes the displayed holder. You'll always be able to take it back for their price + $1.
Do I need an account?
No — you can claim with just a display name. An account lets you track your territory, appear on the Top Spenders board, and manage your claims.
Are refunds available?
Claims are generally final once confirmed, since they immediately take effect on the live map. See the Refund Policy for exceptions (duplicate charges, technical errors, moderated removals).
