I'm backing out of this game. In all honesty I'm finding this nation frustrating and coupled with my starting position, somewhat lackluster luck from the outset of the game and lack of any attempts at diplomacy from any nation I've run into (really I feel like I've been playing against the AI) I've really no interest in continuing.

However, rather than phoning it in and allowing myself to be eliminated, simply disappearing with the nation set to AI, or just letting myself stall into non-existence I'm letting you know so that you (or I) have a chance to find a replacement. I'll continue playing for a few more turns or until I find someone new, whichever comes first. All in all my situation isn't that bad; a fair amount of land, half decent research, a few armies up and about, so someone coming in won't have a completely hamstrung nation to work with.

Anyhow, I'll stick around for three more turns. If after that time a replacement hasn't been found I'll either set it to AI or let it stall in hopes of someone being found, up to you guys.
