I can't look the save (Library internet terminal...) so might be 
but from what i read...
I am not convinced we need to attack Sury - the last time i looked he was nowhere close cultural threshholds. A war wit him will definitely slow us down more.
And in the worst case he will vassalize to Monthy (Paecefully or because Monthy dogpiled...)
I think it's better to just monitor him, and be ready to burn a city if he indeed goes for culture (Surprisingly it did not look like he does the last time i looked...).
If we go to war, it's better to crush WK - it's where good deal of Monthy's tech is probably coming from.
I would say we tech Corp and incorporate Mining Inc, before someone beats us to it. Spread it for production bonus and try to get close to Monthy's power.
Tech combustion for better navy.
Then depending on the tech situation, either go for WK (and later Monthy) or dig in home and beeline Internet to egalize the tech disadvantage.
I think we also should stop building privateers. Even when they might still be somewhat effective now, they time is clearly over, and they not really help us vs. Monthy - upgrading them to destroyers is immensely expensive.

uh therapy... yeah. wow thank goodness for the spell check.
science: - wise) and he's the last withouth those techs. I think i can wait 4 turns untill Corp is done to make the deal, delaying the impact it will have on our research a little bit.
Switch every specialist there to Scientist, gaining + 51 
/ turn. Thats like 10% overall increase, so those scientist should stay (unless they can work cottages.)
right now they are giving us like 50 gpt allowing 80% slider with no net loss (-45 gpt is diplayed but the Privateers get it in again...)
-tiles from Luxemburg and Mainz to push the time down to 25 turns. Will try to improve it further by Railroading.
They got away (Thanks to the Magellan Voyage Bonus i think).
(tho we are better than Sury now i think). But With the Island getting Railroaded, i dont think we need to fear a naval Invasion anymore - we can react within one or two turns about everywhere.
