I've added Nation Factbooks! Factbooks are available to everyone that wants one. Just fill it up with information, and it'll get displayed on your factbook page.

You'll also noticed I cleaned up and reorganized some of the interaction buttons on nation pages. I've also added a button for Embargoes, to make everyone's lives a little easier, along with the button to see a nation's factbook.

* Notifications will now appear on the Revenue page if you don't have enough raw resources to make manufactured ones. This will hopefully reduce the number of questions we get in the Tech Support forum saying, "Why aren't I making Steel?"

* I've updated the Wars page. Now, when someone offers you peace, you will see an option to "Accept Peace" instead of just "Offer Peace". The "Cancel Peace" option is now removed until you've offered peace as well.

* Approval Rating caps have been lifted on both ends. I've also added your raw point value to the nation page, next to your percentage (which can only fluctuate between 0-100).

* Approval Ratings have been added to the Leaderboards page. You can now see who has the highest and lowest Approval Ratings.

* Approval Ratings are officially a purely cosmetic update. They're for fun, and will have no bearing on anything in the game mechanics-wise.

* Approval Ratings can no longer be affected by embargoes. I've updated the wiki page to reflect that.

* On Military pages, you'll now see Resource costs calculated in with the monetary costs. Next time you buy tanks, aircrafts, etc. you can punch in the number that you want, and not only will it spit out how much moolah it's going to cost you, it'll also say how much steel/aluminum.

* I've added Scrollbars to the top of a few important pages. The City Manager, Revenue Log, and Nation/Alliance Bank pages now have a scrollbar on top and on bottom of the relevant scrollable elements. This should be a big convenience for everyone.

A new statistic, called Approval Rating, has been added to nations. It tells you how favorably your people look upon you as a leader. A variety of actions can change this rating directly. It will also change slightly with every turn. To read more about the mechanics of how your Approval Rating is affected, either visit the forum link (above) or the Wiki page.

Your nation's approval rating currently has no effect on your nation. It does not change your income, and having a 0% approval rating won't do anything. In the future, it will have an effect on how much control you have over your nation's legislation.

The use of scripts, bots, macros, or other programs for automated trading is now strictly against the rules and punishable by banishment.

You may also come across a small point-and-click captcha that will ask you to verify your identity as a human and not a bot to continue trading. I apologize for this inconvenience, but it's the only way to enforce this change.
