Also, a 'list' of the nations are displayed, showing who has/hasn't processed the current turn.
Illwinter has mentioned numerous times that they developed the game with MP play in mind, and it shows in the 'server'

Id be very interested in this. I have a linux (debian) server and can put up a much larger (solaris) server if need be. Ive been trying to prod some webmaster into creating some sort of interface they would like to manage but so far no one has bitten.
