    You get to pick Resources, right? Take Cattle/Spices. Aside from that, uh, what other options are asked?

    Nation Name
    Capital City Name
    Nation Team
    Currency Type
    Tax Rate
    Government Type
    Primary Ethnic Group
    DEFCON Level
    War/Peace Preference
    National Religion
    National Slogan

    Pretty sure the first two and the last one are irrelevant, but not sure about the rest.

    EDIT: And the location of the nation on the globe.

    Nation Name cannot be changed post creation, so pick one carefully. The rest can be changed after creation.

    Team is Maroon, as you said.

    Tax Rate should be maxed.

    Government Type is as you said.

    DEFCON level is 5.

    War/Peace - you should be in peace mode for the first few days anyway, so put Peace and switch out later.

    National Religion confers a +1 Happiness bonus if it's the same as what your citizens want, but I don't know if you know what they want before you create so just put whatever. Change it later to match your people's preferences.

    If you don't get to pick resources when creating, you can do so later by going into Edit Nation. You can change once every 30 days, but if you pick Cattle/Spices now then I have a trade circle ready and waiting for you (see this wiki on Resources to understand why those are useful).

    Alright, account created, posted on the forum, and set my resources to spice/cattle.

    Nation link is here.

    EDIT: You sure maxed out taxes are a good idea at first? It says the population is really unhappy about it. And just to confirm, I should just pay the bills for the first 20 days right? I saw that a few times on this thread, but why for the first 20 days?

    Yeah, the thing is, the only thing population happiness affects is income. Since higher taxes provide a greater income boost than higher happiness, there's no reason to go below max tax rate.

    The way it works is, you pay bills based on various factors. You also collect taxes based on various factors. The amount you pay or collect depends on your current stats, regardless of how many days are queued up or what your stats were on previous days. Bills at 1 infra cost less than bills at 500 infra, but the income collected is also significantly less.

    So you pay bills at the 1 infra level for 20 days. Then, you get aid money and buy up to 500 infra. So now you can collect at 500 infra, and because of the way the system works, you collect at that higher level for all 20 days. So you pay bills at the lower level and collect taxes at the higher level.

    Does that make sense?

    Yeah, I get it. Another question, I got a trade offer from someone in the Monarch Order, should I accept it? Or save my slots for people within the GOD?

    Question, I got an event, and am unsure on what to do. Here is the description:

    "Our nation's airport is becoming dilapidated and crowded. The developers have asked for a government sponsored renovation and expansion project."

    And here are the options:

    Option 1: Build a new airstrip and update the terminal. Land area -5%, Citizen count +1%.
    Option 2: Renovate the airport but do not expand the terminal. Citizen income +$1.00.

    Advice please?

    Land is unimportant, figure out which of +1% population and +$1.00 to citizen income will earn you more money.

    Change your Alliance Affiliation to 'Global Order of Darkness. Switch to Maroon, Capitalism, adjust your tax rate to max. Do Not Collect taxes yet. Wait for AIDs from Xiphosis and Z.
