(2) It is historically realistic - civilizations not in contact with each other should not affect each others' economy. In early game this eliminates unrealistic effects such as Rome's economy affecting that of Japan's. In late game it seamlessly transition into a global economy where everyone affects each other.
what your suggestting is only true if we consider directly affecting. Sorry, but the problem is that what about the nations that said nation has contact with, and those nations that nation has contact with. In the long run, Japan if things are historically realistic will be effected in economic stability by Rome due to the chain of effecting someone's economy, which effects who that nation is in contact, which the same happens to those nations.
Say Rome was negatively effecting Persia, which has contact with India. Persia without this would have an ok economy at this moment. With it, it causes it to cause this to who are valid. Well, India is the only valid nation. It wasnt doing well economically wise, due to a bad war with the Tamil. It just got worse. They are in Contact with Tamil, China, Khmer, and Japan. Of them, only Tamil doesnt have OP. Khmer also is sent into an economic crisis by this, barely doing well due to pure random bad luck. They also have OP with Japan(for this purpose, Japan is player, as only way to see it happen). Now Japan has two nations with OP agreements now causing it to lose stability.
Japan has now lost stability from Rome. In fact, it is now losing more stability then before.
that said, it is a lot harder to do and the means by which it occurs is realistic. but it is unrealistic for them to not be able to effect Japan. they just dont do it directly anymore, but by proxy chain.
