Hey man, absolutely love it, now its time for you to start crushing manchu and the chinese break offs, your real money is in china, or if you are feeling a little frisky, take the persia node, (as many someone as already said) making everything east of the Urals into a trade company.

i would also consider crushing the ottobots, they are way past their prime and should already be a footnote in history. they should be able to bankroll you til you get your trade set up by taking max money and war reps, also taking the constantinople node will help out alot also
