>1. Nation Clarity
So the whole privacy/isolation thing is mostly handled by the trade codes. If someone wants to put themselves out in the world, they can just share their code.
As far as involuntary visits: the idea is on the table. Sending scouts or spies out to other nations is something I'd like to work in at some point.

>2. Trade Clarity
See above about spies, but I'm not sure about a full public ledger. If people want to advertise their trades here on the board or something, thats up to them, but I think it adds to the social aspect of the game to be able to keep trades secret or under the table.

>3. Trade efficiency
Oooooh, I do like this idea. I was planning on implementing something like it later by allowing the largest city in a country to impose import and export taxes, but maybe having a small scale version of it would be interesting too. Noted.

>4. Resource Attrition
This is already sort of setup. Happiness numbers from resources are based on population. Attrition isnt tied to pop because of how the database is set up, and because pop is mostly static right now. Could be worked on in the future though.

>5. Resource balancing
Next "big" update is going to add a "Quest" system, and a "Rewards" system (names are WIP). These will let you buy access to new resource nodes.

>6. Crops rework
This... would be a big update... I'll make note of it though, I like the idea.

>I would like to know how resources are decided on a nation level basis.
Right now its a random sample from the existing list. Will be reworked later to add weights to the sample so each country is different (big reason I asked for the list of resource ideas).

>if Dev doesn't want to
I'm not really trying to hide anything, I'm gonna open source this whole thing eventually anyway, but would it really be any fun if you turned the whole thing into a math problem? I know some people are into that sort of game, when the game is fleshed out, but this one is so early in its dev stage it'll turn into an excel spreadsheet if you so much as mention algebra in its general direction.
>we can just make a wiki and work it out ourselves anyways
I mean, that'd be neat regardless tbdesu
