Just to let you know sirdog, the explore returns at this point in the set are down to the single digits.
While some are all explore or self-farm, some grab for land.
Playing in one's own tag has its advantages and dis-advantages.
People that play in a group under a tag, have pacts with other tags which preclude land grabs between the tags.
If you were in one of the groups, your countries would be sheltered from grabs from some if not most of the larger groups.
Playing solo has the dis-advantage of not having many pacts with the larger groups.
If you chose to play solo, you have to run a defense oriented government and build your country with that in mind.
Just a tip from your uncle fiat.
