England has sold their wines to somebody else, we could buy ToG from them for all our lux but I decide to wait until we get banking in two turns to see what we can get then...

OK, the germans are still (barely) alive. That will be easily fixed.
I'll leave to the next player to decide what to do with Russia. As I saw them as our next target I didn't enter any deals with them, so now we're free to decide if we should:
a) invade them
b) trade with them (they have dyes, which we desperately need, and they are behind in tech so they are willing to trade.
Keep an eye on England when Germany is destroyed. They will probably not be as nice to us when the alliance ends. We could buy ToG from them to enter the Industrial ages.
7 turns left to economics, aiming for Smiths.
This is what's left of Germany.
