Nothing worse in Civ then being bored!

Unfortunately this week in Civ has been quite the disappointment. As much as I would like to have expanded more or do something dramatic, I just seem to continue to grow internally. Since my previous focus was primarily internal, I wanted to put more emphasis on military support as well as arranging treaties with all of my neighbors. Ironically, military advancements also brings greedy neighbors and constant threats. I was successful keeping everyone at bay, but I am still hesitant to refuse deals: To have a war or not to have a war?! This always seems to be my most frequently asked question.
Right now, the answer is no. I don't feel ready or prepared to handle any more then what I am already doing. As a result, I keep opening my borders to everyone and giving whatever to keep the peace.
However, one interesting decision was which economic system to choose. As different systems are introduced, I wonder how Colander would handle the situation. So many systems and yet only one can be chosen. Considering my options, I opted on the free market with democracy. It seems to work better then whatever I had before, but I'm still waiting to see if everything is going to blow up in my face.
