Can any of you guys look at my country and give me some advice? I feel awkward asking you this given my current status. Thanks

You can use the help feature ingame (the Help link on the left hand side)... this will create a thread in the Primary Help forum that people can comment on.

It helps also if you post in your own thread and ask questions too to make sure people know you're listening/actively playing... give it a shot.

what afaik said

pm me when you did that and i'll have a look
