That's a good point BoP, an excellent reason for why only one nation should be allowed per province (seiges and sneakers non withstanding).

However, it would be nice to have some basic options or information on relations. It would be nice to be able to declare (from your side) intentions vs. another empire. Non aggression, hostilities, holy war. This setting could influance your population along the boarder with the nation to increase production (while decreasing income) or other effects. It would also be nice to be able to offer bribes or swap territories (only where you have more dominion I'd imagine), things of that nature.

I agree though, that unless the devs have the time and resuorces to approach diplomacy correctly it's best to be left alone or for the MP games
