Thoughts about our international situation (again slightly difficult with only posted maps and reports to go by, but I think I have a handle on it):

The brief war with Japan was indeed costly in terms of units with their unexpected pre-emptive assault before our armies could have a go at them, and it was in the Imperium's best interests to accept their ceasefire when it happened. Troops are needed there, and I will push the SMC and President to do this before declaring war on them again. As for the others, there are some nice wonders out there, but we can't take them unless we know where they are.

In short, it is my opinion that the Imperium's ambitions have always been forged in the thirst for conflict, and that is exactly what should shape our foreign policy. Explore until we meet all opponents, and seek to learn as much about their juicy Wonder cities as possible, then take them. We need not trade with them in most circumstances, except where military technologies are available. As for those we know - Japan - I would try my best to aid the SMC and President in their objectives of building and transporting sufficient forces there to begin our manifest destiny.

Congrats MWIA

Your campaign speech came less than 2 hours before the election was over, I hope you aren't as turgid in office as you were in campaigning

What excuses can I find? I'm not used to three day polls (but 5), I half expected Tower to win no matter what I did anyway and I was at a raucous 21st over the weekend.

At least one of them has to satisfy.

Thanks everyone for your vote of confidence - I hope I have shown that I was thinking about the job and ready to answer questions as soon as I saw the poll was up (unluckily that was two days after said poll started!). Now I know what's happening you can be assured that at least I cannot use that excuse again.
