MA Mictlan in Operation Anchorage (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=44133). It's mid-late game territory (turn 58), just four nations left, Mictlan, Abysia, R'lyeh, and Vanheim, although the Vans are getting beat on and recently went AI. A NAP with Abysia is about to expire, but one with R'lyeh still holds. Miclan leads in research, has an S9D9 pretender to play with, and several other advantages I'd rather not give away in public, but will happily fill one in on if they take the position.

I'm interested in Mictlan proposition, but I didn't play it MP. So, I would like to have you explain your strategy.
Normally, I like R'lyeh more, but not easy research...
