Wow looks like we're sitting pretty. We're not too far off from the #1 spot in all the important categories. For a deity game, this early on, that's... not right.
It's also incredibly annoying that our open borders won't expire with Siam. When I signed that, I did so assuming that it would expire before we came into close contact. It should have but... now they're free to roam our territory, block our workers, and settle our back lands. Some people say that open borders also makes it more likely for them to attack, because they can see that their military is bigger than yours. No one knows for sure, because no one really knows anything about the diplomacy system.
I'm glad you took only Cumae. That city is in the perfect location to seal in the French. Maybe I can get one more in the west, too, to really seal him in and protect our territory.
