I also don't want to make a foreign policy until we have met every civilization on our continent. It's pretty odd to determine how to deal with certain nations before you know who they are.
Looks like there is some role-playing going on here: we are developng pundits in all areas. ;-)
Your caution at committing to a foreign policy seems prudent, but maybe it would be interesting to do otherwise. Is our nation composed of super-rational gamers, dedicated isolationists, impulsive dominators or some other type? Why not write our cultural history before seeing the first turn and see where that leads us?
