I'll send ya an in-game PM as well, in case you don't get active on the Legion forums later on after you are masked.
If you have a Foriegn Aid slot available and are able to build an Improvement right away, The Legion has Harbor Grants available so you can build that harbor and get an additional resource trade. If you are interested, send me a message either here or in-game.
Take care!
(after edit - woohoo! First one to post to a new nation!! I win!
Also, love the title for your application to The Legion! One of the best I've seen!!)
