CN from the perspective of someone back from inactivity

So I am on my third nation. The first two I lost from inactivity, this third one I hope to keep for a while. I won;t bore you into why I became inactive, I'll just move onto how I see CN now. I came back and fell into the same routine already, collecting, paying bills, buying infra, tech deals, etc etc. I guess one of the beautiful things is how easy it it to just pick CN back up. No matter how many times you leave, you can come back and it's like you never left.
Along with that, however, lies the reasons I first went inactive. The same routine over and over and over again. No truly new features, nothing really exciting to keep me here and to prevent me from going inactive again. And one of the main things that I enjoyed most about the game, the politics between alliances and the delicacies of diplomacy and war, is completely foreign to me now. I came back and realize that I've missed out on a lot. Alliances have come and gone, wars have been fought, new blocs have been formed and old ones have been disbanded. Even in my own alliance I notice change. I've been a member of CSN since I first joined and haven't left yet, but even there it feels like I've missed out on a lot. Members that I remember are no longer there. There are new treaties and enemies to pick up on and it's impossible to even try and catch up with what is going on in the OW forums. Either way, I'm glad to be back and will spend my first week or 2 back trying to catch up on exactly what I have missed. The guys at CSN have already made me feel like I have assimilated into the alliance again even though many of them don't remember me or were even here when I first was.
Will I grow bored of CN again and be making this same post with my 4th nation? I hope not. But, you never know. Hopefully I will regain whatever interest I had when I stayed around for my first six months with a nation. If I do, I bet it will be mainly to the credit of my alliance, and my ability to follow and understand current politics.
