Please note that I consider the 5 squares around my cities to be my space and it will be treated as if sovereignty were claimed on it. If there are mines or rare herbs in this space you must ask permission to harvest.

New Players: "each citizen (1 pop) earns 4 gold/hr. at 25% tax, you as their leader get 1 gold per citizen per hour. so at 25% tax, pop = revenue in gold/hour. that, however, does not include expenses such as diplos, troops, sov. etc."
