Sure, that seems fair (and actually very generous given my mistake, so
I'll pay a bit extra, effectively allowing us to split the proceeds).

I transfer 5 Shinies to o.

Here's the blurb:
{{{
Borduria is a flat plain among the otherwise mountainous area at the
east edge of Agora, thus making it a common battleground when
hostilities arise between Agora and other nomics. It is notable for a
major train line that was once in regular use to deliver military
supplies to Agora's defensive forces; so regular, in fact, that it
became the standard means of telling time for Bordurian citizens. In
the present, more peaceful, political climate, a service of its
previous frequency is no longer needed for logistical reasons, but is
nonetheless preserved in order to allow Bordurians to set their
watches.

Exports from the Borduria region include dairy products (especially
cheese), grapes, and wheat (typically in refined form).
}}}

Just to make sure, I object. (We have several protections against
actions that make the game nonexistent or unplayable, so it's likely
that this couldn't succeed. It's possible, though, that destroying
Agora has an effect that doesn't make the nomic we're playing
unplayable. What does it mean to destroy a nomic anyway?)

If it is possible for me to do so, I withdraw this CFJ.
