# Hometown

## What is a Hometown?

A Hometown is your own personal kingdom in the NEXUS World. Only **NFT Lands** can earn the distinction of becoming Hometowns. These special lands unlock exclusive rewards, features and gameplay advantages that set them apart from ordinary territories.

## Citizens

Players can enroll to become Citizens in any of the Hometowns within the NEXUS World. Eligible Citizens can participate in our play-and-earn programs to receive rewards.

## Mayors

Owners of [NEXUS World Land NFTs](https://opensea.io/collection/nexus-world-land) are designated as the Mayors of their respective Hometowns. When Citizens earn in the NEXUS World, a portion of their earnings will be taxed and go to their Hometown's Mayor. These earnings can occur not only in the NEXUS World but also within the broader Affyn ecosystem.
