I have taken breaks before, though they have been longer and more frequent recently, due to lack of motivation. My assets are little changed in total when I take a break, with country expenses coming to a small fraction of my available cash. I did some things earlier this year to catch a few things up, mostly purchase ammo to replace daily use. My activity currently is all to check forums here and there and to extend my entities with gold coins before they expire. Because I believe email notifications still do not work properly, I also check in to make sure I am not at war.
