Nations can trade resources with one another. There are 21 tradeable resources in the game (in addition to 11 bonus resources and 8 additional space resources). Each nation starts with 2 default resources that, as of September 17, 2011, can be changed to any other resources once every thirty days. You can also gain up to 10 additional resources through trades. If you trade with a nation, you must accept both resources the nation has as their default. Having two trades for the same resource does not stack that resource; it's just wasted. Trading with a member of your team gives each nation +1 happiness. Certain combinations of resources will give you access to bonus resources.

Every nation starts with 2 resources. A resource provides specific bonuses to a nation. Resources cannot be lost and never change. Additional resources can be acquired by joining other players in trade agreements. Also, bonus resources are automatically available if the resources are present and any other requirements are met.
