[font="Verdana"][size="4"]Do not buy up to 1199 Infra. It's more cost effective for you to buy up to 1999 Infra (the FULL thousand) when you're to Jump. Get all 5 Factories BEFORE you're ready to jump. When you're not Jumping, you don't need the Factories on-hand at such a young/small Nation. You already have some of the better Infra reducing Resources: Iron, Aluminum, Lumber, Marble, and Coal (as well as Construction and Steel).
Remember to periodically buy Soldiers every so often while you're jumping to avoid accidentally throwing your Gov't into Anarchy. You don't need a lot of Soldiers, just at least around 20% of your Pop.
Also, I see from you recent Thread you made on the Trading Harbor, that you're switching from this TC to an 8BR. Neither of your TCs are Pop heavy, but the one you're currently is MUCH better Income wise than the one you're planning to go to. For such a young/small Nation the 8BR would be a HORRIBLE TC for you given your Resource set.
I'd advise to just add a Fish or Pigs+Wild Card pair (perhaps Fish+Wheat, Pigs+Wheat, or Pigs+Sugar) to your current pair to boost your Pop some more. Which would leave you with: Fine Jewelry, Construction, Steel, and possibly Fast Food (if you add Pigs+Sugar).
Bets of luck. [/size][/font]
