Wow, 11th place, very good result for me! I've totally messed the game up, I feel there is much room for improvement.
first spoiler
I've been careless, no wonders, no economy, no nothing.

When the continent was conquered, my economy was in ruins. There was a slim chance to invade Frederick but I've missed it. I caught the AI later in techs, but I was lagging behind in Space race. Diplomatic win was an option, but my friends would vote for Fred. Then the chance appeared: the hated Chinese started building the UN, my spies revealed. However, they were a bit slow and Space race was really far away. I had an engineer with no work and I had an idea. I decided to gift him to China. To my surprise, no gifting was needed! I hurried the foreign wonder myself when the GE reached the city!

As expected, my friends all voted for me, I had the biggest population. That was a very sweet win, sneaky indeed.
