First off, as I understand it, Olympia is still in test mode more or
less. So the economy may be perfect..once everything else is worked
out.  Perhaps money through exploring hidden features would be a good
plan. My copy of the rules says the 'explore' command doesn't do much
yet..maybe when that gets enhanced there will be another way to get
cash?

My main problem at this point (although I've only played a few turns)
is the lack of any sort of goal.  The game mechanics seem sound, the
turn entry is pretty comprehensive yet easy, but I don't have any real
goal for the game. How do I win? :)  The only real goal I see is
trying to control some provinces..which is by no means an easy task.

A question to everyone playing..what goals have you set for yourself?
What will you do when you have met those goals?
