O Sole Mio 1830 A.D.
The year is 1810, and the ppl elect a Rabbit as President.
The new leader looks about and tries to devise a plan of action. He is shocked to note that there is now more than one city in the empire!
Situation: We are a Democracy of 6 cities, total population 3.84 MM. Our power is Weak and our reputation Questionable. Current tax program is 50-50-0, which nets 107 GP/turn and 11 turns/tech. There is 701 GP in the treasury.
We have only one embassy (the nearby Japs), as Marco Polo has expired. We are allied with the Russians and English, at war with the Mongols. Currently building a dip, a rifle, and 4 camels. In addition, we have 13 vans on the hoof, and a couple transports vaguely aimed toward Russian lands.
We have Mike's, Shake's, and SOL.
We also have a gathering strike force near Nara (10). This includes 2 engineers, 4 dragoons, and some rifles.
PrezBun decides on a program of happiness and growth, and declares his intention to establish a clearinghouse for diplomatic information, tentative dubbed "Rabbit's International Unity Club." He also sponsors intensive national engineer training program, promises "useful and dignified work" to all who pass.

Diplomatic Field Report
-----------------------------
Russians -- Democracy, 2744 GP, 17 cities, no white techs, studying Tactics
Vikings -- Democracy, 2000 GP, 13 cities, have The Corp, studying Tactics
Chinese -- Republic, 508 GP, 9 cities, studying Conscription
English -- Republic, 2032 GP, 15 cities, studying Communism
Mongols -- Republic, 1505 GP, 9 cities, studying Feudalism
1830
--Russians now Democracy, trade Chemistry to English for Monotheism
--Japanese learn Economics.
--Spy reports Edo defended by 4 muskets and city walls (no barracks)
--Deliveries to Novgorod -- silk (d) 100 GP, salt 71, spice 64.
--All WLT cities now size 8. Sliders moved to 40-40-20, which would net 140 GP/turn and techs every 13 turns.
------------------
PrezBun reaches his term limit. His spin doctors issue a Presidential Press Release noting that our civ now has a total of 8 cities (press release says "33% more!"), a treasure of 416 GP ("rich as Croesus" sez the PR), and that our population is now 5.36 MM (PR says "a 40% increase!!"). we also built the United Nations (PR: "WoW!!!!!)
Our Power is now Inadequate (PR says -- "better than ever!!!").
Our Reputation is now Dishonorable (PR notes that "'Honor' is a big part of our reputation!!!!")
-------------------
Our next ruler should strongly consider a move to a cash economy -- perhaps some Fundy turns to to build and use an army vs. the evil Japanese. Growth is not practical until we can afford aqueducts.
Speaking of the Japanese, it's interesting to note that Kyoto (translation = "nice target") contains both the science wonders.
Also, please note that the Russians have established a city on the SE portion of our continent. I've sent out a spy to find it...
We have several engineers running around, creating infrastructure and intended to ultimately found cities (all except the NONE eng, who we hope will be with us for centuries...)
Not sure, but I think Julius Brenzaida is next...
