Welcome to the Game!
Its not that hard but heres a bit to learn so you need to ask questions as you go.
Rather then start up as a solo nation which is a hard row, I invite you to come in with us and we can teach you the ropes.

I help lead the bunch called ICN. Just apply to us and one of the band will bring you in.

Otherwise the best advice is to read the guide first,
theres a lot of stuff there to help new players.
And here on the forums there are a lot that will help also.

best of luck in whichever path you take.
I'll PM you also so we can chat a bit.
