If the larger circle members send say... 250k-300k to the smaller guys, it should be good.
Also, rasimus: Don't tell them only 20%. That is the MINIMUM you can have before issues occur within your nation. I'd recommend 1/4(ish) normally if in an alliance at peace (*coughs* FUCN *coughs*), and 1/2 or more if not.
P.S. I recommend we keep discussion about the circle not related to people applying out of here, so as to keep the thread uncluttered. For the issues you guys have, visit me in IRC. Coldfront.net, "#TheNanjiakagesOffice"...
If you guys need help with the IRC (who didn't, at one point? XD), I can help ya. PM me either in game, or inter-forum.
