Our first batch of missionaries arrived at the other continent to begin wreaking havoc. Heh
After a few waves of Christian and Buddhist missionaries to each of the two potential allies, what we had hoped to achieve came true:
Freddy was already on Free Religion too. Guys, looks like we have hope
Meanwhile, we kept growing, earning more and more money per turn and researching very quickly. Here's the tech screen a while before Freddy and FDR dropped their religion:
Radio would be a good tech to research next, and on the way to Mass Media too. We weren't disappointed. Like the previous two occassions, we were able to finish researching the tech and trade it to Freddy and Cyrus. The tech screen after that:
I stopped shortly after. We've researched Mass Media. Cathy had it before us, but it wouldn't make much of a difference to our plans if she beat us to building the UN. Still, I'd want to try to rush buy the UN (which I am building at Timbuktu) to ensure that we get as early a victory as possible.
I think now it all depends on how many votes Freddy, FDR (they're both friendlier to me than to Cathy) and I can muster against Cathy and Cyrus in the global elections. This is a map of the other continent:
Frankly, I can't tell from the picture. The victory screen doesn't help much either:
No way we can accurately guess how many percent of the world population Freddy and FDR have each. We need roughly 63% in total to have enough votes to win.
Well, anyway, the GNP graph as usual:
We are clearly winning now. Who said cottaging up wouldn't work?
Demographics:
We are the richest and fastest growing country in the world. Is victory within grasp?

Good point. What do you plan on researching once you buy the UN, and why? You might want to go 100% culture, I think I saw you posting about flipping one of Cathy's cities? Even if you don't, it might help put a cap on its growth if you manage to surround it with your borders.
But can we win?
