States

A state is a constituent political entity of the United States.

There are currently 50 states, which are bound together in a union with each other. Each state holds governmental jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory and shares its sovereignty with the United States federal government.

Information on packs

When asked if there will be groups of states at some point, SCS Dev Eryk replied that, "...there will be packs of states when we reach states that are too small to be released as single DLC." As of April 2025, this has not yet happened. However, in the Kansas release stream, SCS Dev Patrik confirmed that Tennessee would be bundled with at least one other state, due to its shape.
