60 million in 10 days, wasted from where I sit, Like Roal36 said TC's are one of the most important things in this game, I wouldn't have spent one dime till I had that in place.
A 3BR TC, with 5 factories and banks could have easily escalated you to 4999 infa with your first wonder a being a Federal Aid Commission, then the MP, that said some people will argue what's better happiness or people when starting out, I like both, Stadiums, then clinics, rinse repeat, a little more infa, rinse repeat.
There's a system to putting up a new nation to maximize every dollar, now when I said real alliance, I didn't mean major like Roal36 may have implied I meant one that knows what there hell there doing, and honestly theres some fine 10-15 man alliance out there that do, go have a chat with Walsh the Beloved.
