Field notes
The map is presented as a guided demo: visitors can drag or zoom the globe, tap a territory, and preview a takeover. The proposed paid mechanic gives buyers a protected block—up to 24 hours for states and provinces, 12 for countries—then leaves the flag in place for free until a higher-priced challenger takes over. The current form is explicitly a free mock claim, with no payment or reservation; the page does not confirm that live takeovers have begun.
