• Credits are not Money. Money is one of the sources of credits, in roleplaying terms, but credits represent your nation's ability to take actions, not merely a financial measure.
• The first turn is Q3 1936, but is a short Q3 - as the game begins on August 1st, 1936, rather than July 1st. This was to allow the Spanish Civil War to have just begun and the territorial lines to have been drawn, and so that Ethiopia did not need to be represented as a playable nation but as a rebel movement. Q4 and onwards, normal 3-month turns will resume thereafter.
• If you want to take an action that isn't listed in the rules, consult me if you're stuck: but I'm pretty sure that you can find an existing action to suit nearly anything you'd like to do. For example, signing a trade treaty to increase your trade would count as an economic investment.
• This is a game, not a simulation. It's not to say it's an unrealistic game, and I intend it to be historically plausible, but a lot of things have been, naturally, simplified and streamlined and balanced for gameplay purposes, in order to keep it fun and playable. So I have no plans on making the rules more complicated or 'simulationist' than they already are.
• No, spying does not let you read your target's turns. Spying and information is taken into account during the processing of the turn actions and narrative, but you, as a player, don't get to read other people's turns.
• Given the lack of functioning and effective crystal balls in 1936 or any other time, you cannot conveniently or coincidentally prospect for oil resources in places they haven't been discovered yet but will be. Oil resource discoveries will happen at the historical time they were discovered - and in most cases this is outside the scope of the game.
• Providing superior military equipment directly to a nation via Aid actions and such does not increase that nation's tech level. Just because you give a country some advanced equipment, doesn't mean that they have the technological expertise, industrial capability, and suchlike, to build the same thing themselves. Tech levels are what that nation can build.
