Kevin --

Sounds like you should teach this guy a lesson, and you can do it as
long as the last opponent nation stays in the game.  If need be, your
team can finance him to keep playing (only $0.65 each/turn).

Send all your good agents, emissaries, and challengers down to Umbar
and start smacking him upside the head.

The whole thing is actually kind of ridiculous.  The winner's certificate,
besides giving choice of nation, only gives you a few free turns.  Really
stupid IMHO to play a whole game at $6.50/turn just to get a few free turns.
Probably it's just an ego kick, which is why I say you should stomp him
and teach him a lesson.

Then again, your team will be spending a lot of extra money just to get
a couple free turns, so it may no be worth it to you.  In that case, just
delight in the fact that you all played a good game.

Finally, I think your team may have to change their approach to neutrals.
The teams I have played with have dealt fairly and openly with all neutrals
(as it sounds like your team has).  But if they are not willing to declare
by a certain time/turn, treat them as an enemy and attack with surprise.
