Nation teams

Nation Teams (or spheres) are an organizational method used for Trade Agreements. Teams are open to all players. Teams provide nations on the game maps with an identifying color based on the available teams: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Maroon, Pink, Aqua, Black, White, and None (represented by the color Grey).

Teams provide an added dynamic to the game by allowing team members who trade with one another an extra population happiness point, and are similar to real-life free trade areas (nations not belonging to a team do not get bonuses for trading with other nations without a team).

Many alliances attempt to have all members on one team, and large alliances on one team are often said to "control" that sphere. You don't have to belong to an alliance to be in a team. Being a member of a team that is "controlled" by an alliance does not mean that you are a member of that particular alliance. Team forums are maintained here.

Senators

Senate elections give three members of your team the ability to see extra info on members of your own team as well the ability to impose Trade Sanctions. Alliances often try to dominate the Senate seats of their team for this reason, and sanctions have been used as a form of attack during international warfare.
