How claiming works

This is advertising, not a bet. There's no chance involved and no payout — you're paying to put your link in front of everyone who visits the map. Every sale is final.

1. Claim a country

Pick any unclaimed country and stake money on it, starting at $5. Your stake attaches to one link — a product URL or a social profile — and shows your name, an optional one-line pitch, and a link out.

2. Rank is your total stake

Your position on a country is your cumulative stake there, not your most recent payment. Whoever has staked the most on a given country holds #1 on it. Ties go to whoever staked first.

3. Top up anytime

If someone outstakes you, you can add more at any time — every payment adds to your running total on that country, it's never lost or refunded. There's a $5 minimum per payment (one country has a lower floor — it's not listed anywhere, you'll have to find it).

4. One link, one identity

There are no accounts. A claim is identified purely by the link you submit. Adding more stake means resubmitting the exact same link, in the same mode (product URL or social profile) — a different link is a brand-new, separate claim. The same link can hold completely independent claims in as many different countries as you want.

5. What you can list

A product URL, or a social profile — X/Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, or a YouTube channel (the profile itself, not an individual post or video). Product URLs are reduced to their bare domain, so tracking parameters and specific pages don't matter — site.com/page?utm=x and site.com are the same claim.

Chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal, Messenger) aren't accepted. Neither is adult content, or anything illegal or fraudulent.

6. Moderation

Claims can be put under review or removed at our discretion — a removed claim's money isn't refunded, and the country becomes claimable again from scratch. Report a claim by emailing us.

7. Titles

Hold #1 on one country and you're a Sovereign. Present in one country but not #1 there, you're a Challenger. Hold #1 on more than one country and you're an Emperor. Present in several countries with at most one crown, you're a Conqueror. The first 100 claims on the whole map get a permanent founder's badge.
